Verna M. Nicholson, 93, of Spring Lake Park, went home to be with the Lord while asleep at her home on January 8, 2023. Verna was born February 12, 1929 to August and Bertha Kilde in Hornet Township, North of Blackduck MN, the sixth of eleven children in a close, loving, musically gifted family.

She accepted Christ as her Savior at the age of 12 during an evangelistic meeting led by Herb Rockensock at the Hornet Town Hall. She was a faithful follower of Christ the rest of her life. Like her mother, she showed Christ’s love and grace to everyone she met, loving unreservedly. She had a way of making those who knew her feel special.

Verna graduated from Blackduck H.S. in 1947, lettering in choral music. She married the love of her life, Roy Nicholson, October 30, 1948, in Blackduck. They lived in Wadena, rural Blackduck, St. Paul, Duluth, the Evergreen Trailer Park near Aurora, Eveleth, Napa CA, rural Grand Rapids MN and Spring Lake Park.

She taught Sunday School in Napa, playing guitar and singing for Sunday School and church. A gracious hostess, she enjoyed fellowship with the women’s group in Napa and the Birthday Club in Spring Lake Park. Verna was part of the MOPS childcare team at Emmanuel Christian Center for many years. She also provided childcare in her home.

She was a wonderful mother and homemaker. She was especially known for her baking skills, forming perfectly round buns, bread loaves, cinnamon rolls, pies, and cookies. She enjoyed having coffee with friends and family at her kitchen table.

Extended family was always very important. Mom loved being with her people on both sides of the family. Mom and Dad looked forward to the annual Kilde Reunion at the Hornet Town Hall. Later mom would attend the reunion now being held at the site of her childhood home. They loved camping at Webster Lake near Blackduck, where local relatives would come to visit. They also cherished the annual Nicholson extended family campout at McCarthy Beach State Park each September.

In retirement they enjoyed traveling in their conversion van to the North Shore, Southern Illinois, Texas, Florida, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They attended grandchildren’s college graduations in Greenville South Carolina and a wedding in Ohio.

She was preceded in death by infant son Roy Vernan (1960) and husband Roy (2002). She is survived by her children, Allen (Barb), Dennis (Terri), John (Jan), Don (Sherry), Ron, and Joy (Tim) Berg; sister Jennie Hanson, sister-in-law Camilla (Kilde) Scott, 16 grandchildren, 55 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews.

His entry in Find A Grave:

Family name is Christiansmoen.

Believe Halvord may have emigrated to Wisconsin in April of 1853, then possibly returned to Norway to accompany his family when they emigrated.

He is found on the ship's list for April 1865, ship Peruvian, arriving at Quebec:

#528 Males: Ole Halverson age 70; Halvord Olsen 44, Halstein Olsen 43, Abraham Olsen 32 (tailor), Ole Olsen 34, Ole Johnson 37, Halstein Everson 34, Gulbrand Pedersen 21, Halstein Pedersen 18, Hans (or Maud?) Olsen 31 Matron, Ole Olson 5 (child) and Gulbrand Olsen 2.

Halvord married Kari Halsteinsdatter Garthushaugen on June 14, 1850 at Oppland, Norway. The couple had at least six children: Ole, Inger, Mary, Helena, Betsy and Kari. They may have had other children.

Found in the June 6, 1860 census living on farmland at York, Green, Wisconsin: Post office: Moscow. $800 in real estate; $150 in personal assets.

Holver Oleson 39, Caria Oleson 35, Ole Oleson 10, Inger Oleson 7, Mary Oleson 4, Hellen Oleson 1.

She seems to have later married Gilbert Tidemanson. Some family trees show her having a child with Tidemanson, Hanna, born in 1880. That seems unlikely.

From Find A Grave:

She was born Kari Halstensdatter Garthushaugen about 1825 at Oppland, Norway.

She married Halvor Christiansmoen Oleson on June 14, 1850 at Oppland, Norway.

The couple emigrated with other family members in 1853 to Quebec, Canada and traveled on to settle near Dane County, Wisconsin.

Names of six of the children born to Halvord and Kari are: Ole Halverson Christiansmoen, Inger Halvorsdatter, Mary Molly Halvorsdatter, Helena Halversdatter Christiansmoen, Betsy Halversdatter and Kari Halversdatter.

Kari's first husband, Halvord Oleson Christiansmoen was killed in an accident when he was crushed by a falling tree.

Kari married again. Kari married Gulbrand (Gilbert, Bert) Tidmanson in 1870 at Green, Wisconsin. The couple had 1 daughter, Hanna C Tidmanson born 1880 at York, Green, Wisconsin.

She died abt. 1922 at Dane, Wisconsin
