John married his first cousin.

Immigrated from Norway 1885, naturalized in 1892. He appears not to have emigrated from Trondheim.

In the 1890-1891 Duluth city directory, he is John Orfald, “boarding house 23 1st av E.” In that same directory, Mary Bye is shown as "domestic, John Orfald" and living in West Duluth. John is listed in the 1891-1892 Duluth city directory as John Orfald “boarding house Central Ave. sw corner N 3d W. Duluth.”

John’s brother, Martin Orfald, was a partner with Peter Aune in a meat store at 2101 W. Superior in Duluth. (Hans Bye is listed in the 1891 Duluth city directory as a “driver” for Orfald & Aune.)

In the 1895 Minnesota state census, John, 30, Mary, 23, and “Helma” 1, (with 20 year-old boarder Hans Westby) live in “Town 58, Range 19” in St. Louis County with Mountain Iron as their post office.

At the time of the 1900 census, John is living apart from the family and Marie is the head of houshold and is living in Missabe Mountain Township in St. Louis County. The family consists of Marie, 27 (born April 1873), Alma O., 5 (born Oct 1894), Marvin B., 3 (born April 1897), and Jennie M., 8 months, born in September, 1899. Marie is shown as married and having been so for 7 years. She had had 3 children, all still living. Her occupation is shown as cook. She emigrated from Norway in 1880.

John Orfald, 38, cook, and Petter Aune, 62, butcher, both of 2224 West Superior Street in Duluth, went to Norway in the early 1900s. They arrived back in New York on September 1, 1904, aboard the S.S. Baltic which had sailed from Liverpool on August 24th. Arriving in the U.S. with John and Petter was Ingvald Aune, age 9, a citizen of Norway, who is indicated on the Baltic’s manifest to be the “ward” of Petter. The child’s passage had been paid for by his grandfather. Petter had become a citizen by action of the District Court of St. Louis County on July 17, 1893, and John by that same authority on April 2, 1888. Ingvald is shown as going to join his mother.

In the 1905 state census, the Orfalds live in Biwabik. John is a cook.

In the 1907 Range Towns directory, Peter L. Aune has a meat business at 2224 W. Superior. In that 1907 Range Towns directory, there is no entry for Orfald.

At the time of the 1910 census, the family is together in Biwabik in a house they are renting. The family consists of John (“Jno”), 43, Marie, 36, Alma, 15, Marvin, 13, Jennie, 10, Myrtle, 6, Ruth, 4, Mabel, 2, and Roy, a few months old. John and Marie had been married 17 years.

John came to this country in 1885 and became a citizen in 1892. Marie came to this country in 1883 and became a citizen in 1892. Fred came to this country in 1912 and was not a citizen (Jennie, even though she was born in Minnesota, is shown as an alien in the census because of her husband’s status). Harry came to this country in 1914 and became a citizen in 1919.

In the 1922 Virginia city directory, which includes Biwabik, he is the only Orfald listed. He is still a fireman, housed ¼ mile n w of the Canton Location.

A January 13, 1922, article in the Duluth News-Tribune mentions that John was an officer of the Diamond lodge No. 262 of the International Order of the Odd Fellows. John was “district deputy grand warden.”

In the 1924 Virginia city directory, which includes Biwabik, he is a watchman at the Canton Location. His daughters, Mabel, Myrtle, and Ruth, are also listed in this directory, in all three cases still residing at home.

In the 1930 census, John and Marie and family were living on Chicago Avenue in Biwabik. The household consisted of John B., 63, Marie, 56, Myrtle (absent, but not to attend school), 25, Robert, 20, Edna, 17, Lawrence, 9, grandson, and Anton, 50, brother of John. Everyone is shown as single except John and Marie who were married when they were 27 and 20, respectively. John and Marie own the house, which is worth $4000, and they have a radio. John, Marie, and Anton were born in Norway. Lawrence’s father was born in England and his mother was born in Minnesota. (Lawrence is Jennie’s son.) Anton and John came to this country in 1888, Marie in 1893. John’s occupation is “cook” and the industry is illegible, may be “county”, and he is currently employed. Anton’s occupation is listed as “none” although the census-taker had one filled in initially and then crossed it out. Myrtle is a telephone operator for Bell Telephone and she is also currently employed. Robert is a sample-taker for the “Evith Furnace Co.” (Eveleth?) and he is unemployed. Neither John nor Anton are veterans.

In the 1940 census, John, Marie, Edna, and Anton lived in Biwabik. John was a janitor for the village hall. Edna was a stenographer for a school paper. John, Marie, and Anton had had an eighth-grade education. Edna was a high school graduate. None of the four were living at the same house in which they had lived in 1935. At that time they had been living elsewhere in St. Louis County.

John died of complications from Parkinson’s disease, which he had had for 9 years.

Johannes married Marie Othelie Martinusdatter BYE on 3 Apr 1893 in Duluth, St. Louis County, Minnesota.

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.
