15429 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.

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.

John, his brother Hans, and perhaps their uncle Theodor were original shareholders of the Farmers and Merchants State Bank of Fergus Falls when it was organized on May 22, 1915.

In the 1920 census, (incorrectly indexed as Beel) the family was living at 425 Channing Avenue in a home he owned without mortgage. The family is John, 50, no occupation, Mabel, 24, a school teacher, George M., 22, a clerk at the post office, John G., 19, a shipping clerk at a wholesale house, Myrtle T., 16, and Margaret, 10. John is shown as married. He came to this country in 1882 and is naturalized.

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.”

15430 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.
