17569

Referred to as Nilson Ole Bergh on Luthard’s death certificate.

Ole is not listed with his family in the 1865 Norwegian census.

Birth information from Hermund.

According to his wife’s brother’s notes, maintained in the family by Hermund, Ole departed Norway on Friday, October 23, 1874, at 4:00 PM. He departed Stavanger for Hull aboard the feeder ship Argo after having been brought over to Stavanger from Mosterøy by his future brother-in-law, David Nicolaison. At this point, Ole was engaged to Tabitha and she would apparently depart later for the U.S.

According to one of his great-grandsons, there were two Ole Nilsons who were pastors within the Evangelical Norwegian Luthern Church in Minnesota. This Ole added the surname Bergh as a way to differentiate himself and get his mail.

One of Hermund’s sources says that Ole studied for a year at Augsburg before being sent out to Yellow Medicine County.

A history of Norwegian Lutheran pastors in America has this entry for Ole:

He was the fourth pastor of the Ringsaker Lutheran Free Church of rural Buxton, Belmont Twp, Traill County, North Dakota. That congregation was organized in 1891. His stay in North Dakota must have been brief.
