• Name	Endre Knudsen LIEN
  Birth	16 Jun 1821	Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway
  	Lien 80/ Septun
  Gender	Male
  Death	23 Nov 1920	Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota
  Notes	Vang B, p. 299. Gayle’s Find A Grave entry for him, acknowledging Connie Ferris as the source, says: “Endre was the fifth child of nine born to Knud Thomasen Torpe & Sigrid Olsdatter Lien. He married Berit Gundersdatter Gjevre/Givre 28 Dec 1848 in Vang. They had six children, all born in Vang. “ His farm appears to be Heensejet in the birth record for his son Gunder. He and his family live on Bakken, probably the plass on Heen 70/1, in the 1865 census. All of their children are listed in that census, other than the first Gunnar who died as a child in 1858. The bygdebok says that he came to the U.S. around 1870. He was a farmer in Hawk Creek Twp, Renville County, in the 1875 state census. He lived next door to the Gunder Gjevre (#2560) farm. In the 1885 state census, all of the children were still at home except for Betsey, who had married nine years earlier. Also in the household in that census were Berit’s recently-widowed sister Marit and Marit’s son Anders. He is Endre Knutsen Lien, I13887 in Jim’s Valdres Slekt tree. Jim does not have Betsey as one of Endre and Berit’s children. From Wang Township section of the History of Renville County: “Endre K. Lien settled in section 6. At the age of ninety-four he is the oldest man in the township. He still retains much of his early vigor and even this winter is to be found chopping wood and enjoying outdoor exercise. His son, Knud Anderson, a bachelor, came at the same time, and died on the farm some fifteen years ago.”
