FRÖSLIEJE, Eric Johnsen (I13230)

19787

Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Halvor Iversen, born in 1853 in Qværnæs. Named after his paternal grandfather.

Halvor emigrated to “Reknos” on 19 Feb 1878.

Seems to have been a baptismal sponsor for Marie Rasmussen.

Although Erik Ingebrigtsen is shown as the owner (”Gaardbruger Selveier”) of the farm (on 216, Gustad) in the 1865 census, in the 1886 land register, H. Iversen is listed as the “land owner or user” of the holding (16-6, old 127-216a) on Gulstad (”commonly written Gustad”) in Kvernes. This suggests that primogeniture prevailed and that Halvor inherited the farm after his father perished. Perhaps Erik and/or Ane held the property in trust until Halvor reached majority.

In the 1900 census he may be the 44 year-old “Everson Halverson” living not far from the Gustads and Ever Eversons in Farm Island Twp. His occupation is day laborer.

In the 1905 state census, he is living with Ever and family in Farm Island Twp.

Living with his brother Ever at the time of the 1910 census. Shown as having emigrated in 1894. Occupation is shown as farm laborer.

Living with Ever (”Ivar”) and Bente (”Benta”) in the 1920 census.

Living with his brother and sister-in-law in Farm Island township at the time of the 1930 census. Halvor is shown as being 76 years old and having emigrated in 1903. All are shown as being naturalized citizens and Halvor is shown as “single.”

His brother Ever, with whom he was living, was the informant for Halvor’s death certificate. Ever knew that Halvor’s parents were Ever Halvorson and Anna Arnesdatter. Halvor died of cerebral apoplexy.

EVERSON, Halvor (I119)

19788

Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Hans Eliassen.

In the 1875 Norwegian census he is living on Harteigen as a lodger with the Blix family in Buksnes, Nordland. Hans is married and has a daughter. His occupation is fisker og stenarbeider.

In the 1900 Norwegian census he lives in Trondheim in a 6-flat apartment building on Baglien Bymarken Street. Hans is an arbeider ved Baglidammen. The household consists of Hans Bye, Ida Bye, Henrik Bye and Theodor Bye.

In the 1910 Norwegian census, he and Ida live in an apartment in Narvik. His occupation is “Div. arbeider for Bolaget.”

He may be the Hans Bye who died 6 Oct 1944 in Trondheim, Sør-Trøndelag.

BYE, Hans Eliassen (I1211)

19789

Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Iver Iversen, born in May, 1858 in Qværnæs.

He is not listed in the 1875 census as living with his mother and step-father. Instead, he is listed on another Gustad farm, Erik Johnsson’s farm, as a tjenestegut.

From the entry in the Bremsnes church book for the first child, it appears that the father Ever was already in the U.S. at the time that the son Iver was born.

Letter on file from Ever to Andrew, written February 9, 1880 {the date must actually be 1890 -- the writing is unclear and suggests that Ever started to write an 8 and corrected it to a 9}, from Duluth.

Dear Brother Andrew,

How long do you plan on staying away? I have been waiting for a letter since New Years and have not received any. Anyway, I’ll write a few lines and tell you all the news from here. As for me, I have been well since you left for Norway, but my wife has been sick since New Years. For a time there I was worried I would lose her. The sickness was called La Grippe. Hundreds have died during the winter. Thank God that my wife is starting to get better.

I haven’t too much news but times are as usual in Duluth during the winter with little work.

Luckily it has been a mild winter - a lot like last year. In Duluth we have had a real picnic with the Labor Union which is now in power. This will make it better for the Labor Party which has been started in Duluth. You see I want to send you news about Davis Leirede the bigshot.

I work presently for the car shop and that will soon be completed.

I have waited for a letter from you to hear how you like Norway but I have had no word how you fared the winter. I hope this letter gets into your hands while you are home and may see you greet Mother, Halvor, Edward, and Petrina from us.

Live well - dear Brother and I hope to see you back and we can see and talk to each other.

Greetings from your brother.

E. Everson

Iver Iversen Gustad of Kvernes, b. 1858, left Norway on 6 May 1885 aboard a Cunard ship, bound for Duluth according to Digitalarkivet’s Emigranter fra Kristiansund 1882-1930 database. Leaving at the same time, probably on the same boat, was Olise Pedersdatter Gustad, b. 1856, also bound for Duluth.

The 1889-1890 Duluth city directory lists Iver Iverson, carpenter, residing at 621 E 10th.

He is probably the Ever Everson described in this article on front page of the May 6, 1889, edition of the Duluth Evening Herald.

The first case which occupied the attention of the court this morning was that of Ever Everson against the Minnesota Car company. H. H. Hawkinti and S.E. Cheesman for plaintiff, Page Morris for defendant. Plaintiff brought suit against the Car company to recover $30,000 for injuries received by the falling of a scaffold, on the plea that the scaffold was not only improperly constructed, but part of the timbers entering into its construction wore defective, and furthermore that it was put up by unskilled laborers. An ingeniously constructed model of the Car works was introduced in evidence, to show the manner of putting up the scaffold, and the position of tho workmen at the time of the accident. A number of witnesses were called for the plaintiff, whose evidence was corroborative of tho facts as alleged in the complaint.

Probably worked as a carpenter for his brother’s firm in Duluth. The Duluth 1890-91 city directory lists an Ever Everson, carpenter, employed by Everson & Christenson, and living at 621 East 10th in Duluth. This address is apparently right next door to Peter Rasmussen at 619 E 10th.

According to a 1904 foreclosure, Ever and his wife had obtained a mortgage, on 12 May 1892, for Lot 4, Block 16, West Park, from Jacob R. Myers, Frederic W. Paine, and Henry Lardner. Ever and Betsey were foreclosed upon and the property was sold at auction on October 18, 1904. The default amount was $394.97.

The 1891-1892 and 1892-1893 city directories show Ever Everson, carpenter, residing “n s Main 3 e of Pacific Ave., West Park.” In 1892-1893, Andrew was also living at that address.

In the 1893-1894 directory, Andrew still lives with Ever although now their address is listed as “n s Main 2 e of Pacific av.” They are carpenters but there is no mention of the firm of Everson & Christenson.

Ever was not listed in the Duluth 1894-1895 city directory.

He and his family live in Farm Island Twp, Aitkin County, at the time of the 1895 state census. Ever is a carpenter. Living with them or very nearby, are his brother Halvor, the Peter Rasmussens, the Erick and Edvard Gustads, and the Andrew Eversons.

Living in Farm Island Township, Aitkin County, at the time of the 1900 census. Not shown as having an occupation. Owns his home, which is a house and not a farm, without a mortgage. Interestingly, Ever is counted twice in the 1900 census. He is also shown as living with Andrew and Ed Gustad in a house Andrew owns (??) in Aitkin Township, Aitkin County. Apparently the three were living together while working on a construction job. Each of them is shown as “carpenter.” Andrew is shown as having emigrated in 1883, Ever in 1885, and Ed in 1891. All three are shown as married.

Ever worked in Grand Marais in the 1898-1900 period.

In the December 30, 1905, edition of the Duluth Evening Herald:

Ever Everson et al to John Anderson, lot 4, block 16, West Park division.

In the 1905 state census, he is Iver Iverson, a carpenter living in Farm Island Twp but not near the Gustads (who are living next to the Mackamans). The household consists of Iver, 46, Bente, 44, Iver, 19, a farmer, Anna, 17, a farm laborer, Ester, 7, and Halvor, 54, a farm laborer.

Living in Farm Island township in the 1910 census. Ever is 52, a house carpenter, Bentie is 49 (married 24 years), their daughter Esther is 12, and Ever’s brother Halvor, 56, single, a farm laborer, is also living with them. Bentie is shown as having had 4 children, 3 still living. Living next door to them is the William J. Mackaman family and also, very nearby, is the Everett Mackaman family which includes their daughter, Anna Everson Mackaman.

He may be the Ever Everson who bought lot 15, block 6, Cuyuna, on March 21, 1912. He and his wife sold that lot to Edward Peterson in August of 1916.

Shown as Ivar Everson, 61, a farmer, in the 1920 census. He, Benta, 59, and Halvor, 65, live in Farm Island Township, Aitkin County on a farm that Ever owns albeit with a mortgage. Ivar came to this country in 1885, Benta in 1887, and Halvor in 1894. All were naturalized in 1899. Living next door is Theo Rasmussen with his wife Mary and daughter Ruth which must be Ever’s brother-in-law Peter Rasmussen.

In the 1930 census, Ever (shown as Ever Iverson), Bente, and Halvor are living in the same household, owned by Ever, in Farm Island township, Aitkin County. The household is shown as having a radio. Ever is shown as having emigrated in 1885, Bente in 1887 or 1889, and Halvor in 1903. Ever is shown as being 72 years old, Bente 69, and Halvor 76. All are shown as being naturalized citizens and Halvor is shown as “single.”

Ever was the informant for his brother Halvor’s death certificate. At that time Ever lived at Rural Route #2, Aitkin. Ever knew that Halvor’s parents were Ever Halvorson and Anna Arnesdatter.

Death certificate issued in Aitkin County # 1935-MN-000047. He died of bronchial asthma.

In his obit in the Brainerd Daily Dispatch, it was noted that he had lived at his farm for 41 years with the exception of a brief period “when they made their home at Cuyuna.”

That farm, the original Cedar Lake farm at which the Everson/Gustad family lived in 1900, and which devolved to Ever after the others left or died, was the northwest quadrant of Section 5 in Farm Island Twp, Aitkin County, about 4 miles, as the crow flies, to the southwest of the city of Aitkin and about a mile-and-a-half, as the crow flies, from Andrew Everson’s farm.

EVERSON, Ever (I120)

19790

Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as “his daughter.”

There is no mention of her as having come to the U.S. with the rest of her family in the late 1860s. She apparently emigrated to Utah with her husband and family in the late 1880s.

Anne Marie and Martin apparently converted to the LDS faith in Norway on 22 Mar 1882, their baptism dates. Up until that date, Anne Marie and Martin had had their children (Johanne, Ole, and Agnette) christened in the Norwegian church. After that date, they did not. (Berthe and Anne Mathilde were born in Norway but, apparently, were not christened in the Norwegian church.) Anne Marie and Martin waited until they got to Utah to baptize their oldest two children into the LDS faith which they did soon after arriving. However, for some reason, Agnette was not baptized into the LDS until 1963, over 4 years after her death. Berthe and the ensuing children were baptized in the LDS faith on schedule after their 8th, but before their 9th, birthdays, as is the custom. Olga, who never made it to her 3rd birthday, was apparently never baptized.
