Jim calls her Anne Torsteinsdatter Kjøs, daughter of Torstein Torsteinson Kjøs, b.1798, and Anne Andrisdatter Fosheim, b. 1796. Jim says, incorrectly, that Anne was born ca. 1830 on Kjøs 94/3, Brattebakke.
Jim’s site has her marrying Andris Eirikson Hagen in Vang and having a daughter Gertrude, b. 1862, d. 1927, both events in Goodhue County. Jim has that Gertrude as marrying Kristian Kolstad.
Confirmed in Vang on 20 Jun 1841 as Anne Tostensdtr Kjöseiet, daughter of Tosten Tostensen and Anne Andersdatter. She had been vaccinated on 28 June 1828. Her birthdate is unclear although it looks like her baptism date was 27 Aug 1826.

A sad and unfortunate accident occurred last week near Nerstrand in Goodhue County when Thelma, the four year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Knute Rauk, was burned to death. The child’s dress becoming ignited from the flames of a burning straw pile, there being no one near enough to save her with the exception of a little brother, who ran to the house for help, but by the time help arrived she was so badly burned that she died in a couple of hours. The father had set fire to a straw stack in the field some distance from the house and several of the younger children were watching the flames. The children came too near and the fire, burning off everything she had on and herself fatally. Death followed two and one-half hours after the accident.
