According to Donna: Eric's grandpa Oscar died in WI in a nursing home in 1970.

In the 1910 census (April 23rd), Oscar Karlsrud, single, age 20, was a hired man on a farm in Hartland Township, Pierce County, Wisconsin. (He is listed on the same census page as his brother Jørgen (George).) He had emigrated from Norway in 1909 and was still an alien at the time of the census.

Oscar registered for the draft on June 5, 1917. He indicated that he was living in Trenton, Pierce County, Wisconsin, and was married with 3 children. He had declared his intention to become a citizen but was not yet a citizen of the U.S. and claimed to be a citizen of Norway. He claimed to have been born in Gran, Hadeland, Norway. He is described as 27 years old, of medium build, medium height, blue eyes and light brown hair.

In the 1920 census (Jan 2 and 3), Oscar Karlsrud, age 30, was living in a rented home in Trenton Township of Pierce County, Wisconsin. The family consisted of Oscar, Julia, age 31, Gilbert, age 6, Raymond, age 4, and Alden, age 2. Oscar’s citizenship status is listed as “Pa” and Julia’s as “Al.” Oscar was a section hand on the railroad.

In the 1930 census (April 28th), Oscar Karlsrud, 40, was living with his family in Eureka Township, Polk County, Wisconsin. The family consisted of Oscar, Julia, 41, Gilbert H., 16, Oscar R., 14, Henry A., 13, and Irene E., 7. The three boys were born in Wisconsin, Irene was born in Minnesota. Oscar came to this country in 1909, Julia in 1911. Oscar is a dairy farmer and Gilbert is a farm laborer. Oscar was 22 when he married 23-year-old Julia.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 6 Nov 1842, Nannestad, Akershus, Norway

Notes:

Born in Nannestad according to the 1900 census. That also seems to be indicated in the record for his marriage. The corresponding entry for Marte indicates that she was born in Grinækereiet. The Gran marriage database in Digitalarkivet interprets the marriage record as saying that Gudbrand was born in Plads Hellern i Nannestad, which is also where he resided, and Marte was born in Horgeneiet but resided in Grinækereiet.

Bosted = Bjørge in Martin’s baptism listing.
Bosted = Gagnumseiet in Georg’s baptism listing.
Berthe Maria’s birth farm is Skjerv somthing.
Bosted = Hougseiet (Gn) in Jørgen’s baptism listing.
Bosted = Grinækereiet in Edvard’s baptism listing.

In the 1900 census, the family was living on the Narverudsstuen farm in Lunner, Oppland. There were four children at home with Gudbrand and Marte: Karl, b. 1884, Georg, b. 1887, Oskar, b. 1889, and Martin, b. 1894.

Guldbrand married Marte Olsdatter HØRGEN on 19 Apr 1870 in Gran, Hadeland, Oppland, Norway. Marte (daughter of Ole Evensen FRAMSTAD and Birtha Jacobsdatter HØRGEN) was born on 16 Oct 1850 in Gran, Hadeland, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 1 Dec 1850, Gran, Hadeland, Oppland, Norway
• Confirmation: 5 Jun 1865, Gran, Hadeland, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Or Marthe.

Neither of her parents seems to be listed in the 1865 Norwegian census. She is probably the 16 year-old Marthe Olsdatter who is a servant on the Haldor Bredesen farm, “Gjefsen nedre og nord”, in Næs in Gran. There is an Anne Olsdatter, b. 1854, also working there as “Lægdslem paa Gaarden.”

(That Anne is probably not Marte’s sister. That Anne seems to be the one born on June 17, 1854, to Ole Andersen Østiens or Øskiens and Birthe Olsdatter.)

Birth:
This is her birth date in the entry for her marriage in the parish register. The birth place seems to be “Horgenseiet un Grinokereiet.”

Confirmation:
her farm info was: born Hørgensiet, (lives on?) Griesøkiesiet

Notes:

Married:
Hørgeneiet i Grinokieneiet

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Mekaniker ved træm. papirfabr.
• Baptism: 17 Apr 1859, Modum, Buskerud, Norway

Notes:

Or Skauen.

In the 1865 Norwegian census, he is probably the Hans Pedersen, b. 1859, living on the Skaugen farm in Modum, Buskerud. His father is Peder Erichsen, b. 1829, and his mother is Gurine Johnsdatter, b. 1834. The birth record for that Hans in Modum is barely legible but the date appears early, perhaps Feb or Mar of 1859.

In the 1875 Norwegian census, he is probably the Hans Pedersen, b. 1859, living on the Skougen farm in Modum, Buskerud. His father is Peder Eriksen, b. 1829. Hans’s occupation is mill worker. Peder has a new wife, Ragnhild Olsdatter, b. 1838.

The family, with the surname Skauen, was recorded in the 1900 census as living in the municipality of Jevnaker. The name of the “domicile” is listed as Moløkken, Randsfjord træmasse papirfabriks arbeiderboliger, and for “other buildings” is Arbeiderbolig nr 1, 2, Nedre Kvernstuen, Øvre Kvernstuen. The number of persons listed for the domicile is 126 so this is apparently all of the dwellings living at or near, perhaps in a company apartment, a paper mill.

Moløkken was on the outskirts of the factory site. The company erected two large workers’ dwellings there in 1890. Each building contained 12 apartments with two rooms each. A combined kitchen and living room was on the first floor with stairs leading to bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The location of the housing was on the bank of the river, close to the railroad. There was a stop on the Bergen Railway there named Berger Foss.

In Julie’s confirmation record, she is shown as born at the Randsfjord paper fabricating complex. Hans’s occupation is shown as “trasliber” or a mechanic “ved træm. papirfabr.”
