He married his 2nd cousin.

In the 1895 census, J. M. and Gertie are living in Fergus Falls. J. M. is a clerk.

In the 1900 census, John is shown as 30, having been born in Norway in December of 1869. He and Gertie had been married 5 years. Gertie is 27, born in December of 1872, and has had two children, both still living. The children are Mabel, 3 (born June 1896) and George, 2 (born in August of 1897). John is shown as having emigrated in 1882, Gertie in 1892. John is a grocer. Gertie is shown as not being able to speak English. John owns his home without mortgage.

In the 1902 Fergus Falls city directory, he and Gertie live at the west end of Channing Avenue. He is in business with his father as J M Bye & Co. at 103 Bismarck Avenue E.

In the 1903 Fergus Falls city directory, he was John M Bye, a grocer with his business at 103 Bismarck Avenue E. He and Gertie resided at the west end of Channing Avenue.

In the 1905 directory, he was John M Bye, a dealer in Groceries, Crockery, Glassware and Gents’ Furnishings at 103 Bismarck Avenue E. He and Gertie resided at 420 Channing Avenue W.

In the 1905 state census, he and his family live on Channing Avenue in Fergus Falls. John is a grocery merchant.

In the 1907 directory, his name is listed with bold letters but he has no occupation shown. He and Gertie still live at 420 Channing Avenue W.

As J. M. Bye, he was one of the charter members of Trønderlag of America in 1908. This was (and still is) the bygdelag for emigrants and their descendants from the Trøndelag region of Norway. J. M. Bye, of Fergus Falls and from Vårdalen, was listed in the Trønderlaget’s 1910 yearbook. In that yearbook, J. M. is shown to have emigrated to the U.S. in 1882.

In the 1909 directory, he is John M Bye, no bold letters or occupation or wife’s name shown. He lives at 420 Channing Avenue W.

In the 1910 census, he is shown as age 40 and a widower; apparently a fairly recent widower because he has a one-year old daughter. John is a dealer in farm produce. He owned his home without mortgage.

In the 1911 city directory, he is now in the grocery business with his brother Hans as part of the Hans P Bye & Co. with a store at 220 Lincoln Avenue W. He still lives at 420 Channing Ave W.

His obit noted that he had been 20 years with H P Bye & Company on Washington in Fergus Falls but had retired on account of ill health. “One of his daughters teaches school at Stanley, N.D.”

John M.’s Minnesota death certificate #1922-MN-010119. Another John Bye died in Otter Tail County on Jan 31, 1922.

There was no such house as 425 Channing in 2008.

John prepared his will on June 21, 1920. His brother was named as the executor of his will. That will was recognized by the probate judge of Otter Tail County on 6 Jul 1922. The terms of the will granted his wife a life estate on his homestead in the city of Fergus Falls. The rest of his property was to go to his children, “share and share alike.” The will notes that his wife is not included in the distribution of his personal property because John had a $2000 life insurance policy “payable direct to her.”

According to the obit, John died “at 6:45 PM, “from apoplexy.” According to his death certificate, he died from a cerebral hemorrhage for which cardiovascular disease was a contributory cause. The doctor filling out the death certificate said that he confirmed the diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage by the fact of “paralysis.” The informant for the information in John’s death certificate was his brother Hans. John was a retired merchant. He was married but the death certificate did not include a name for John’s wife. Hans knew that John’s father was M. E. Bye but all he knew of his mother, or at least all he had included in John’s death certificate, was “Olianna” with no last name.

According to Mike, “John Bye put out ‘year plates’ for his grocery store and my mother has several of them with the dates.”

Notes:

Or Mortinus Eliasen.

Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Martinus Eliassen, living with his parents and four younger siblings. Dee Austring says that in this census Martinus was shown as “19 yo skomager” and was living at Storøren gård #265, Verdal, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway.

Martinus was living in Byvald, Verdal, and Oleanna in Maritvoldvald, Verdal (Vårdalen), at the time of John’s birth. At the time of their marriage, those locations were called Baglovald and Marithvoldvald. Both were living in Maritvoldvald at the time of Hans Peter’s birth.

In the 1875 Norwegian census the family was living on Maritvoldvald with Oleanna’s mother. Martin’s occupation appears to be telegraph operator and farmer.

Martin and Oleanna emigrated to the US from Norway in the early 1880s with all four children. Martin arrived first in 1880 and the rest of the family followed two years later. The family settled in Fergus Falls. The family is listed in the 1885 Minnesota state census as living in Fergus Falls. Martin’s brother Elling is living with them. Martin is 37, Oleana is 48, Johan is 15, Anna is 13, Maria is 11, and Hans is 9.

The girls (and, apparently, Hans) later moved to Duluth, probably after their mother died. Martin remarried after Oleanna's death, according to Edna Cartwright and confirmed in the obituary in the Fergus Falls newspaper. John Everson said that his mother and Marie had a half-sister born in the U.S.

Martin Bye’s obituary said that he arrived in Fergus Falls on May 9, 1880. “Shortly after his arrival, he was employed by H. G. Page in the Red River Mill, and later worked as a miller in the Big A Mill for many years. After retiring from the milling business, he went into business and conducted a store where the Tobacco Mart is now located. Always honest and upright in his business dealings, he gained the respect and good will of all.”

The Red River Mill was built in 1872 and was located on the site of the present Con Agra Montana Inc. on Stanton west of Union Bridge. The old mill burned on March 18, 1915. A story in the Fergus Falls newspaper in 1972 described how Martin’s sons, “John and Hans Bye”, noticed smoke and alerted the night duty men at the mill. One elevator was saved but the total loss was “near $75,000.”

Reportedly survived by 18 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren but these numbers must include the Wold stepchildren.

Living with the family of his brother-in-law, Theodore Johnson, a butcher, in Fergus Falls at the time of the 1880 census. Shown as “Martinus E. Bye”, age 32, married, laborer.

In the 1885 state census, the whole family is in Fergus Falls. Living with them is 34 year-old Elling Bye.

Couldn’t find him in the 1895 state census.

Living alone as a clothing merchant at the time of the 1900 census.

In the 1902 Fergus Falls city directory, Martin and Sophie live at 123 Bancroft Ave W. Martin is in business with his son (J M Bye & Co.). Boarding with them is Alfred Bye, a student.

In the 1903 Fergus Falls city directory, Martin and Sophie still live at 123 Bancroft Avenue W. He had no occupation.

In the 1905 census he is Martin Bye, 58, living at 123 Bancroft Avenue West in Fergus Falls with Mrs. Carin S., 49, and her two children, Harold S., 17, and Alma O., 13. No one has an occupation. Although Martin and Carin are each shown to have been in Minnesota for 20 years, Martin is shown to have been in the present enumeration district for only 5 years. This may refer to Martin’s moving into Carin’s home on Bancroft Avenue five years before.

In the 1907 directory, he and Sophie live at 123 Bancroft.

In the 1909 directory, he is a farmer, still living with Sophie at 123 Bancroft.

Martin was living with his 2nd wife and her two children at 123 Remington in Fergus Falls at the time of the 1910 census. The house is owned by Carin. Martin’s occupation is peddler of notions.

He was not listed in the 1920 census. The house at 123 Bancroft is owned by a recently-immigrated family from Denmark.

He was living with his son Hans at the time of the 1930 census.

In the 1931 Fergus Falls city directory, Martin lived with Hans and Mary at 126 Channing Avenue W.

Minnesota death certificate 1932-MN-010908 issued in Otter Tail County for “M. E. Bye.”

According to a researcher who posted a family tree on Ancestry.com, Martin was born in Storøren gård #265, Verdal, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway.

Elias and Guruanna lived at “one of the Bye farms in Verdal.” The Digitalarkivet says that Elias’s and Guruana’s farm was Baglovald at the time of the christening of their children. Other entries refer to the farm as Byvald. The entry for Elisæus Martin shows Elias and Guruanna’s residence as “By vestre, vald.”

In the church book entry for the marriage of his son Elling he is identified as Elias Eliassen Bÿvald.

Dee Austring calls him Stiklestad Elias Eliassen Stiklestad, born March 23, 1822, in Byvald gård #265, Verdal, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway, and baptized May 12, 1822. (These dates are incorrect.) She agrees with the December 8, 1911, death date and she has the same children’s names and same approximate birth dates assigned to him and Guruanna.

Her research finds him at Storøren gård #265, Verdal, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway, in the 1865 Norwegian census, occupation “46 yo Husmand med Jord.”

In the 1875 census, he was in the same place, also called “Storøren Bye søndre vestre,” and is a “Husmand med Jord.” Elisæus Martin, Oluf, Johannes, and Anna were still living at home with their parents.

In the 1900 census, he was in the same place and a “Jordbrug Selveier.” He was called Elias Eliasen, b. 1820.

His designation as kårmann meant that he was receiving support after giving his estate to another person. Sven Tore also includes “Rid jæg” which suggests that Elias was in the military.

From the bygdebøk:

Elias Jensen 1779-1860 og Martha Pedersdatter 1786-1863. Det ser ut som Elias hadde en plass på Stiklestad nodre, men hvar han bodde, er usikkert.

Både Elias og Martha døde på Byvald, han i 1860 og hun i 1863. Elias og Martha ble gift i 1808 og de fikk fire barn:

B1. Petter (Peder) f. 1808 på Stiklestad nordre vald, d. 1883, gift i 1833 med Magnhild Johannesdatter, f. 1807, d. 1877. Begge var da bosatte på Bye, men senere var de husmannsfolk på Valstadvald.

B3. Marta, f. 1818, gift i 1839 med Ole Henriksen, f. 1814 på Sundby. Han druknet etter forlis under fiske på Folla i 1852.

In the 1801 census, Halvor and his wife and daughter live on Næss Vestre in the parish of Stichelstad og Halle in Wærdahlen in Nordre Trondhiem. Halvor’s occupation is “dragoun, bonde og gaardbruger tillege med sin broder.”

Of Ness (the farm name shown for him in Guru’s birth record).

Halvor’s ancestors according to Nina and her aunt.

Halvor was the 2nd child and 2nd son. The descendants of Halvor’s older brother, Ole Olsen, still live on the Ness farm in Verdal.

Halvor ran Vesterness with his brother Ole from 1797 or so until 1803 when he bought part of Vesterness from his brother Ole for 899 Riksdaler. The new farm was assessed in 1805, at which time, presumably, the independent existence of the new farm, initially called Southern Vesterness, later to be called Millomness, was established. Halvor received full title to the land on August 8, 1807. At that point, Halvor would run the Millomness farm and his brother Ole would run what remained of the original Vestnerness farm.

Halvor had Millomness until 1823 when he lost the farm due to the bankruptcy of his recently-deceased brother Ole. Anders Andersen Vigdal purchased Millomness in 1824. (In the 1865 Norwegian census, the widower Anders Andersen, age 93, was still living on Næss mellem as Føderaadsmand. The owner was Nils Johnsen, age 45.)

After 1824, Halvor and his wife disappeared from the Verdal records.
