Martin Henjum’s write-up for nllha.org:

Iver L. and Sigrid I. Gronseth, Charter Members of West Norway Lake Lutheran Church
Iver Larson Gronseth was born on May 29, 1836 on the Grønset farm, Hegra Parish, Trondhjem, Norway. His parents were Lars Rollaugsen Bjorngard (1795-1840) and Lisbet Gunnarsdatter Fornes (1804-1889). Iver had seven siblings: Ola who settled near Iver in Kerkhoven Township, Gunnar and Sigrid who settled in Jackson County, Minnesota, Rollaug who migrated to Goodhue County, Minnesota and Beret and Lisbet who remained in Norway. Iver with brothers Ola and Rollaug migrated to the United States arriving in Quebec in July, 1865. They likely traveled to Goodhue County where Iver married Anna Johannesdatter Holdmarkat Skatval in about 1867. Anna was born in 1844 in Holdsaunet, Hegra, Nord Trondelag, Norway. Iver and Anna moved to Kerkhoven Township in Swift County about 1871 where Anna gave birth to her first and only son, Ludvig I. Gronseth on May 14, 1872. On May 1, 1875, Anna, Iver and Ludvig are still living in Kerkhoven Township. Sometime after that date and before May 11, 1876, Anna died. No record has been found of her death or burial. Their son, Ludvig, married Inger J. Brekke, ran a grocery store in Minneapolis and died on September 28, 1937. They are buried in Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery in Minneapolis.
After Anna’s death, Iver married Sigrid I Jorgenson on May 11, 1876. Sigrid was the daughter of Andreas A. Jorgenson (1825-1912) and Marit Andersdatter Jorgenson (1824-1903). Sigrid was born on March 1, 1856 in Stordalen, Hordaland, Norway. The Jorgenson family migrated to America about 1867 and in 1870 is found living in Kerkhoven Township, Swift County, Minnesota. Tragedy struck for Iver Gronseth on February 12, 1872 when Iver and his brother Ola who lived on an adjacent farm left home to gather wood in Section 4 of Norway Lake Township in Kandiyohi County. A storm came up and while Ola managed to get his brother home safely, Ola perished in the storm. Following her marriage to Iver in 1876, Iver and Sigrid had eleven children.

Clifford Milford drowned with his cousin Ivan “at Black Bottom” on December 23, 1934.

From the Vernon County Broadcaster, December 27, 1934:

Drowning of 2 Boys Saddens Community

A duo-tragedy occurred last Sunday afternoon at half past three when two small boys, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Nundahl and Mr. and Mrs. Odin Olson, met death by drowning in the upper Black Bottom creek.

The two five year old boys were playing on the ice of the creek, which was exceedingly thin at that place. It is supposed that the ice broke while they were at play, and the shock of the chilling water stupefied them to such a degree that they were unable to reach the bank. The water was four feet deep at the place where they were drowned.

They were discovered half an hour later by the other Nundahl children, who ran for help. Mrs. Nundahl, with the aid of two childen, rescued the bodies from the water and summoned assistance from a neighbor.

The entire community combines in offering the Nundahl and Olson families the deepest of sympathy in this period when joy and happiness is so prevalent. Funeral services will be held this Thursday at the Folsom church, with the Reverend Haakenson officiating.

From the Vernon County Censor, December 26, 1934:

Two Lads Drown in Black Bottom

One of the most heart-breaking tragedies that the Censor has been called upon to chronicle in years took place last Sunday afternoon in upper Black Bottom when young sons of Mr. and Mrs. Oden Olson and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Nundahl met death in the icy waters of the creek.

The older boys of the two families had gone sliding earlier in the afternoon, and Clifford Olson and Ivan Nundahl, both not yet five years of age, got the same idea and started out with the sled. The first intimation of trouble came when the older boys returned to the Nundahl home and were met by the dog whose frantic agitation finally led them to the bank of the creek where the bodies of the two young lads were found in the water. From marks on the bank it was apparent that the dog had tried to pull them out but failed.

Mrs. Nundahl, although frail and ill and a mother only six weeks ago, plunged into the ice-cold water above her waist to retrieve the bodies. She was prostrated from the shock and grief and her condition was serious for a time. Mr. Nundahl was not at home at the time of the shocking accident.

The double funeral will be held at the Nundahl home near Brookville, and at the Kickapoo church Thursday afternoon, Rev. Haagenson officiating. To the heart-stricken families the most sincere sympathy of the entire community goes out at this Christmas season when their joy has been transformed to bitter grief.

His obituary:

Clifford Milford Olson, son of Odin and Clara Olson, was born January 3, 1930, in the town of Franklin, Vernon County, and departed this life on December 23, 1934, at the age of 4 years, 11 months, and 20 days.

He leaves to mourn his untimely departure the grief-stricken parents, six sisters, namely: Benetta, Mildred, Selma, Helen, Agnes, Anna, and three brothers, Orland, Ervin, and Robert James, three grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Sever Nundahl and Mrs. Christena Helgeson.

Blessed be his memory, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.”

Funeral services were held from both the Odin Olson and Carl Nundahl homes and the Kickapoo Lutheran Church, December 27th, Rev. H. T. Haagenson officiating.
