  Notes	Oleanna Johannesdatter, 43, and her four children (Jon Martinussen, 11, Marie Martinussdatter, 7, Anna Martinussdatter, 9, and Hans Martinussen, 5) left Norway on 5 April 1882 on the feeder ship Tasso to Hull, England. Their destination was Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Lived for awhile in Fergus Falls, later in Duluth. After marriage, she and Andrew lived in Duluth for a year or two, then moved to Cedar Lake. Edna Cartwright, Anna's sister's daughter, said in a 1970 letter that her mother remembered Anna as a beautiful young girl. Edna herself remembered Anna as a lovely person whom she loved almost as much as her own mother. Edna said that she wished Anna could have had an easier life. Died at the home of her son (Albin) where she had been for a week following two weeks of hospitalization at St. Joseph's Hospital, Brainerd. In addition to, presumably, all of her living children, the following people attended Anna’s funeral according to a newspaper account: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Graham and family, Oak Park, Ill.; Mrs. Marie Orfold and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Orfold, Biwabik; Mr. Conrad Skogen, Duluth; Mr. and Mrs. Knute Johnson and family, St. Louis Park; and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Carlson, Minneapolis. David believes that there may have been some hard feelings in the family or among the siblings regarding the inheritance from Martinus after his death in 1932. All or most of it went to Hans Peter and little or nothing to Anna or Marie. Anna rarely, perhaps never, got back to Fergus Falls to visit her father or brothers after she left for Duluth. Anne’s letter to her husband, addressed to him in Deer River, Minnesota: (translated from the Norwegian) Cedar Lake, July 30th, 1906 Dear Andrew, I received a letter from you on the 26th. You asked about the haying but I have already written two letters to you since we were through with the haying and with this letter it will be the 3rd. You must not be getting all the letters I write you. We finished the haying on the 18th of July. We filled the hay barn and also made a big stack. There came a little rain on the last load but that didn’t hurt anything. Mrs. Holem and Mrs. Rud visited me yesterday and last Thursday I was to a Ladies Aid at Mrs. Rom. The pigs have grown a lot since you were home. We have so many flowers blooming. We had bad luck with our gander. He fell on his head in a deep bucket with water in and he drowned. Now the goose goes around here alone. We are all well and hope that you are fine also. There aren’t many berries this year. We find only enough to eat. Next year if we are all well and you work away from home I want to go with you. I am tired of being so alone in the wilds. Also it will be better schooling for the children. Greetings from all the boys, Astrid, and Lillie. Write as soon as you can so we will hear how everything is with you. Best of everything to my dear husband. Your Annie One of her granddaughters recalls remembers Annie as “incredibly sweet and kind.” In her last years, Annie’s legs were ulcerated and wrapped. “She would let me sit on her lap over my mother’s protests. She would frequently instruct me ‘Go get my handbag’ and she would fish out a quarter - great wealth back then!” Death Certificate ID# 1949-MN-003383    Date of Death: 03/22/1949 County of Death: CROW WING   The August 21, 1947, edition of the Brainerd Daily Dispatch, probably referring to August 14, 1947, records: “Mr. and Mrs. Henry Norton of Chicago, Mrs. Arthur Cartwright and Mrs. J.B. Orfold of Biwabik visited with Mrs. Anne Everson and John Everson on Thursday.” She died of cardiac failure. Her son Albin, of Aitkin, was the informant for her death certificate. Albin knew that Anna’s father was Martin Bye but he did not know the name of Anna’s mother. She died intestate. The probate hearing was to be May 24, 1949, according to a notice in the edition of the Brainerd newspaper. Albin Everson, petitioner, asked that Naomi Everson be appointed “administratrix.” The probate judge was L. B. Kinder, the same judge who married John and Mabel.

  	Some sources incorrectly say 18 Feb in Duluth. This date and location are from the ELCA records and from Wisconsin County Marriages, the latter as Andrew Everson and Anna M. Bye. Ever Everson and Ed Gustad were witnesses. Andrew correctly recalled to the WPA interviewer in 1936 that he and Annie were married in March of 1892. The church records also indicate Zion Lutheran.
