Came to the U. S. in 1876 according to the 1910 and 1900 censuses, 1877 according to the 1920 census. Could not find him in the 1880 census.

According to the record of his marriage to Sadie Smith, his parents were John Oakman and Augusta Jacobson.

In the 1900 census, he and Sadie were living in Mountain Iron, Minnesota, where he was a “saloon keeper.”

In the 1910 census, he and Mathilda were living in T64 R21 of St. Louis County where he was the owner of a “mill.” (Probably a saw mill.)

In the 1920 census, he and Charlotte and Laverne were farming on Oakman Road in Leiding Township, St. Louis County, probably in or near the small settlement of Orr.

Came to the U.S in 1848. Bought his land in the Town of Liberty in Manitowoc County in 1850.

As reproduced on his Find A Grave page, this is from the Helle Thompson Cabin web site:

Thomas Olson Helle and Kari Evensen Helle were the first inhabitants of the Helle-Thompson Cabin at Pinecrest Historical Village.

Thomas Olson Helle was the first son of Ola and Marit, who were married in 1801 in Norway. Ola died at the early age of 48 in 1821, leaving Marit with her three small sons, Thomas, Stephen, and Ole. The lives of the widow and her three children were ones of hardship and struggle, but together they managed to survive on the Helle farm.

Thomas, the eldest son, would, by tradition, inherit the family farm.

In 1846, brothers Stephen and Ole traveled to the Wisconsin territory from Norway and were able to share many details and personal impressions. They found work as carpenters and explored the unsettled lands on densely forested Manitowoc County. The brothers sent letters home to family and friends detailing the opportunities in Wisconsin.

By 1848, Thomas had married and he and his wife, Kari, had 4 children—three sons: Ole, Even, and Thomas, and a daughter, Marit. Life was hard in Vang. The growing season was short and the climate became extremely damp, with excessive precipitation, for several generations. Crops failed and grain was difficult to dry. Despite the fact that they had never left their valley, Thomas and Kari determined to bring their family to America too.

Came to the U.S. in 1850 with her parents. The family came first to Port Washington on a sailboat, a six-week voyage, and then, after a year, came by “ox-drawn covered wagon from rail’s end” to Winneshiek County and obtained land south of Decorah. She was still alive on what was incorrectly thought to be her 95th birthday according to a 22 Dec 1935 article in the Cedar Rapids newspaper.

Jim’s notes:

I 1855 var han med på å bygge opp "Valdressettlementet i Goodhue CO, Minnesota. Han har etterkommere i Tioga i USA VALDRESBYGDEN I GOODHUE COUNTY, MINNESOTA Det var vel helst om pioner-menn og kvinner vi skulde skrive og ikke om settlementer, men i de fleste tilfelle er de naturligvis knyttet så tett sammen at de er nærsagt uadskillelige. Vi vet også at mange av de mend som særlig har fortjent omtal e her, får en litt mer utførlig saga i avsnittet om fremskutte vardreser. Ovennevnte vardresbygd ligger ca. 25 mil vestenfor Mississippifloden i det sydestlige Minnesota. Den grunnlagdes i 1855, da nogen landsøkere fra Vang i Valdres ankom og bosatte sig. Blandt disse var John Helgeson Hamre. Nils Gunderson Lien, Eve n Syverson Brækken. Endre Thomassen Remmen, John Helgeson Glare, brødrene Haakon, Ola og Knnt Holiæn, Thomas Tasa, Endre K. Haugen og Nils N. Heen. L1tt senere samme år kom også Gudmund Norsving og et følge av et dusin familier med ham. Norsvin g blev en fremragende mann, valgtes til mange ansvarsfulle hverv, var medlem av statens lovgivende forsamling, en av valdrelagets første støtter, en bramfri genial, endefram hedersmann av det gode gamle slag. At endog sameget som nevne alle dem so m kom senere, går ikke an, men blandt mer kjente familier bør dog nevnes familierne Høverstad, Bøe, Eltun, Elingbøe, Søine, Lockrem og Østrem med flere.
