  Notes	From the information on Olive Bye’s (#4068) death certificate we can deduce that he is the John Ingebrigtsen, age 12, living on the Saxhaug vestre farm in Saxhaug, Inderøen, in the 1865 census. He was born 20 October 1854 to Ingebrigt something Saxhaug and Elen Christiansdatter. He is the Jon Saxhaug, age 27, who left Trondheim on 21 Sept 1881 aboard the feeder ship Tasso. His final destination was Alexandria, Minnesota. As John Saxhaug, he arrived in New York aboard the City of Paris on October 14, 1881. The Inderøy bygdebøk incorrectly has him emigrating in 1883. Living in Fergus Falls in the 1885 census. Single. In the 1895 census he’s a 36 year-old teamster in Fergus Falls. Living with them is 17 year-old Ida Rockstad of Wisconsin, a servant. In the 1900 census he’s a teamster and was born in October of 1856 in Norway. He and Thea and their two children live at 503 Bancroft Avenue in Fergus Falls, almost next door to John and Gertie Bye. He came to the U.S. in 1880. Living with the family is 24 year-old Olava Saxhaug (#4068), niece, b. Nov 1874 in Norway and having come to the U.S. in 1896. In the 1910 census he’s a janitor for a county operation. He and his family live in Fergus Falls. In that census, he has a 24 year-old niece named Mina Salburg (may be Saxhaug) living with the family. Mina came to the U.S. in 1895. In the 1920 census, he and his family live in Fergus Falls. Both children are still living at home. John is a janitor in the county court house. In the 1930 census, he and Thea still are in Fergus Falls at 126 Junius Avenue. John is a janitor in a church. Living next door, at 118 Junius, is Arthur Christenson, the adopted son of Samuel Christenson, Andrew Everson’s former business partner.
