2. | Elias Olsen LYNG was born in 1852; died in 1935. Notes:
He purchased Østerness on July 16, 1891, for 4000 crowns plus kår for her parents. Two years later the mudslide seriously damaged the farm. All of the people survived a traumatic rescue but the farm buildings were destroyed and the farm animals perished. Elias bought a small farm (Øver-Skjørdalen) nearby and moved his family there while he rebuilt Østerness. He moved the buildings to a small hill where it is today. He sold off several parcels of his farm where new owners established smaller farms.
He moved back to the new Østerness farm in 1904 and operated it until 1935 when his son Marius took over.
Elias and Laura had 10 children.
Elias + Laura Olsdatter NESS. Laura (daughter of Ole Olsen NESS and Guruanna Larsdatter STIKLESTAD) was born in 1863; died in 1950. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
