Anna Gustava (Annie) Martinusdatter BYE

Other Events and Attributes:

• MN Death Cert Checked: Y
• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1949-MN-003383
• Baptism: 26 Dec 1871, Stiklestad, Verdal, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway
• Confirmation: 3 Oct 1886, Fergus Falls, Otter Tail County, Minnesota

Notes:

Oleanna Johannesdatter, 43, and her four children (Jon Martinussen, 11, Marie Martinussdatter, 7, Anna Martinussdatter, 9, and Hans Martinussen, 5) left Norway on 5 April 1882 on the feeder ship Tasso to Hull, England. Their destination was Fergus Falls, Minnesota.

Lived for awhile in Fergus Falls, later in Duluth. After marriage, she and Andrew lived in Duluth for a year or two, then moved to Cedar Lake.

Edna Cartwright, Anna's sister's daughter, said in a 1970 letter that her mother remembered Anna as a beautiful young girl. Edna herself remembered Anna as a lovely person whom she loved almost as much as her own mother. Edna said that she wished Anna could have had an easier life.

Died at the home of her son (Albin) where she had been for a week following two weeks of hospitalization at St. Joseph's Hospital, Brainerd.

In addition to, presumably, all of her living children, the following people attended Anna’s funeral according to a newspaper account: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Graham and family, Oak Park, Ill.; Mrs. Marie Orfold and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Orfold, Biwabik; Mr. Conrad Skogen, Duluth; Mr. and Mrs. Knute Johnson and family, St. Louis Park; and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Carlson, Minneapolis.

David believes that there may have been some hard feelings in the family or among the siblings regarding the inheritance from Martinus after his death in 1932. All or most of it went to Hans Peter and little or nothing to Anna or Marie.

Anna rarely, perhaps never, got back to Fergus Falls to visit her father or brothers after she left for Duluth.

Anne’s letter to her husband, addressed to him in Deer River, Minnesota:
(translated from the Norwegian)

Cedar Lake, July 30th, 1906

Dear Andrew,

I received a letter from you on the 26th. You asked about the haying but I have already written two letters to you since we were through with the haying and with this letter it will be the 3rd. You must not be getting all the letters I write you.

We finished the haying on the 18th of July. We filled the hay barn and also made a big stack. There came a little rain on the last load but that didn’t hurt anything.

Mrs. Holem and Mrs. Rud visited me yesterday and last Thursday I was to a Ladies Aid at Mrs. Rom.

The pigs have grown a lot since you were home. We have so many flowers blooming. We had bad luck with our gander. He fell on his head in a deep bucket with water in and he drowned. Now the goose goes around here alone.

We are all well and hope that you are fine also. There aren’t many berries this year. We find only enough to eat.

Next year if we are all well and you work away from home I want to go with you. I am tired of being so alone in the wilds. Also it will be better schooling for the children. Greetings from all the boys, Astrid, and Lillie.

Write as soon as you can so we will hear how everything is with you.

Best of everything to my dear husband.

Your Annie

One of her granddaughters recalls remembers Annie as “incredibly sweet and kind.” In her last years, Annie’s legs were ulcerated and wrapped. “She would let me sit on her lap over my mother’s protests. She would frequently instruct me ‘Go get my handbag’ and she would fish out a quarter - great wealth back then!”

Death Certificate ID# 1949-MN-003383   
Date of Death: 03/22/1949
County of Death: CROW WING  

The August 21, 1947, edition of the Brainerd Daily Dispatch, probably referring to August 14, 1947, records: “Mr. and Mrs. Henry Norton of Chicago, Mrs. Arthur Cartwright and Mrs. J.B. Orfold of Biwabik visited with Mrs. Anne Everson and John Everson on Thursday.”

She died of cardiac failure. Her son Albin, of Aitkin, was the informant for her death certificate. Albin knew that Anna’s father was Martin Bye but he did not know the name of Anna’s mother.

She died intestate. The probate hearing was to be May 24, 1949, according to a notice in the edition of the Brainerd newspaper. Albin Everson, petitioner, asked that Naomi Everson be appointed “administratrix.” The probate judge was L. B. Kinder, the same judge who married John and Mabel.

Ever Everson and Ed Gustad were witnesses. Andrew correctly recalled to the WPA interviewer in 1936 that he and Annie were married in March of 1892. The church records also indicate Zion Lutheran.

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.

Notes:

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.”

Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Elias Eliassen, husfader of the Storøen domicile in Verdal.

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.

Birth:
or 29 October; the church book is not clear

Confirmation:
of Byevald

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.

B2. Jens f. 1817 på Stiklestad nordre vald, d. 1827.

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

B4. Elias f. 1820 på Stiklestad nordre vald, gift 1847 med Gurianna Hansdatter, f. 1827 på Fæbyvald. De ble husmannsfolk først på Baglovald og senere Byvald.

Notes:

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.

Notes:

Of Ness.

The Dødsregister for Verdal in Digitalarkivet has an Anne Gundbjørnsdatter dying 24 Nov 1831. She was married, b. 1774, and was an “inderstkone” (servant’s wife) on Trygstad.

Jerelyn Johnson’s tree has her dying in Verdal in 1849.
