By the count of her mother’s living children of 6 in the 1900 census (as well as the 1910 census), Caroline may have died before 1900.

By the Norwegian naming convention, she should have been named Bertha and her younger sister named Anna.

In a bible that either Carl or Anna had, Anna is shown as having been born October 22, 1864. The birth date in her obituary is also October 22, 1864. Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Anna Clausdatter, born in 1863 in Hafslo. Shown as “his daughter.” Cora had, in her address book, an entry for her mother’s birthday as August 22nd. Anna’s gravestone has the correct birthdate.

Cora said that Anna died February 22, 1926. The old bible lists the correct date of February 14.

The 1900 census shows “Annie”, age 33, as having been born in August of 1866 in Norway and emigrating to the U.S. in 1870. She and Charles were, at the time of the census, married for five years and she had had only one child. She was able to read, write, and speak English.

Census-taker Frank Munyon visited the Bowe/Anderson farm on May 6-7, 1910, and found Charley C. Anderson, age 42, Anna, age 43, and Cora C., age 14. At this time, the family was living on a farm next door to Claus’s farm. Anna is shown as coming to the U.S. in 1867, Charley in 1868. Charley is shown as owning his farm with a mortgage. Charley is shown as a general farmer. Charley is shown as working on own account. All speak English and all are able to read but Anna is shown as not being able to write. Cora is shown as having attended school in the period since Sept. 1, 1909. Charley and Anna are shown as having been married 15 years and Anna is shown as having borne one child, still living.

In the 1915 Vernon County plat book, Charley and Anna are shown as owning the 42 or 45 acres of the northeast leg of Claus Bowe’s original homestead (probably the part on the east side of the highway). Sever Bowe is shown as owning the rest of the original homestead plus 40 acres to the west. Sever Nundahl owns 40 acres to the immediate south of that additional 40 that Sever Bowe owned.

Census-taker Douglas Nelson visited the Anderson/Nundahl/Ekum farms (they were contiguous, apparently, which is consistent with Cora’s memory) on January 11, 1920, and found:

Sever Nundahl, 56, owner of home free and clear, immigrated in 1880, naturalized citizen in 1905, can’t speak English, farmer in general farming, an employer. His wife is shown as Brita, 52, born in Wisconsin. Carl O, son, 22, farm worker working on own account. Clara (middle initial maybe “L”), 21, daughter. Tilman, son, 17, had not attended school since September 1, 1919.

Martin Ekum, 29, owner of mortgaged property, farmer in general farming, an employer. Susan, mother, 51, widow, immigrated in 1870, naturalized but no date shown. Rhoda, sister, 24, single, born in Wisconsin, no occupation.

Charlie C. Anderson, 52, immigrated in 1867, naturalized in 1898 (or maybe it’s 1895), owner of home free and clear, a farmer in general farming. Annie, his wife, 55, naturalized citizen but year of immigration is illegible and there is no year of naturalization given.

By the time of the 1930 census, she and Edward had had four children, all born in Oregon.

In the 1940 census, she is a widow with six children, unemployed but usually working as a maid in the housework industry in Coal Creek Pct, Cowlitz County, Washington. Five years earlier, she and her children had lived in Portland, Oregon.

By year of birth, he should be a natural son of Iver. However, both his first name and middle name relate to Lester Burghardt’s family. The 1930 census shows his father was born in Norway. It seems likely that he was renamed after his mother’s remarriage.

In Beverly’s birth record, he is Mark Lester Burghardt. That is also the name on his gravestone.

In the 1940 census, he and Ardath and girls live in Angora Twp, St. Louis County, where Mark was a Postmaster for the post office. He had had two years of college. Ardath had had three years of high school.

By 1943, he and Ardath had moved to Seattle.

In the 1948 Seattle directory, he is living with his parents in Seattle and Ardath has her own apartment. Mark was a bridge tender.

He enlisted in the U.S. Army in Fort Lewis, Washington, on 16 Jun 1945. His civil occupation is electrician.
