    Jim’s notes:

    Han var meget god til å synge. Han "hullet" til dans for ungdommen når de ikke hadde spillemann. Salmedikteren og folkevisesamleren Lindemann, var innom ham for å skrive ned folketoner, men da åpnet han ikke munnen. Da Lindemann var gått satte han i å synge for full hals! Av ham lærte far sangen "Alla mina geita". Han drev med mye hester og kjøpte og solgte hester stadig vekk. Gården hadde mange flere hester enn det var bruk for. Ha n kjørte lass til Lærdal og Oslo, noe som var en rett gården hadde.

    Han var en dyktig arbeider, og ved siden av hesteavl og salg arbeidet han mye med glad i stein, og slet på mange steiner som han brukte til bygging. Bl.a. er det en stor stein i våningshuset i Bøe som er brukt til gulvås, den har han kjørt med hes t og slede fra Helin. Den store ovnshella i vår hytte på Tango, er det også han som har dratt dit. Nils var ung da han ga fra seg Bøe 41/2, han beholdt derfor mye for seg selv, og det førte til at vi fikk hytta på Tango. Først leide de det nedlagte selet i Ellingbøjordet, (Sporastøyl-hytta er bygd på tomtene etter det). Men kyrne til Bøe 41/ 2 fulgte med ned dit, fordi de kjente bestemor best, dermed ble Ragndi sint og nektet bestemør å ta sin del av bølingen ned til Ellingbøjordet. Da bestemor ikke orket å bære melken fra sine kyr ned fra øvre Tangadn, kom far og onkel Nils (NIL S N BØE f. 23.jul.1881) på at de skulle kjøpe en gammel stue i bygda og sette den opp på Tango. Far hadde fått ideen til en hyttetomt der av Arnold Restad, senere krigshelt og advokat. (Restad var også den første styreformann i NRK. På byggeplate n ved inngangen til Radio huset står navnet hans.) Restad ville bygge på Tango og spurte far om han kunne undersøke med grunneierne om de ville gi ham lov. Andris Sygare sa nei. Han ville ikkje ha byfolk som kunne skremme kyrne på Tango. Da far sp urte om han og onkel Nils kunne få sette opp en hytte der, sa Andris ja. De kjøpte husmannsstua på Syndrolsbøkko under Myre av Bøye Myre i 1916 og satte den opp som livaursel på Tango. Far har senere bygd den om.

    Jim’s notes:

    Lærer, kirkesanger, klokker, lærebokforfatter og dirigent bl.a. for Vang Sanglag, Bygdelagskoret og Kjelsås skoles jentekor (som han også stiftet). Han har utgitt flere lærebøker, bla grammatikkhefter og en synonymordliste sammen med Fossestøl. Den er bygd på Sandveis ordliste. Han er født på Tango og er den eneste kjente person som er født der. På hans 90 års dag ble 27. juli utropt til Tangadns nasjonaldag.

    Han gikk den 3-årige lærerskolen på Hamar og tok eksamen i 1915. Deretter var han i 2 år lærer ved framhaldsskolen i Vang, den var på Fredheim. Da bodde han hjemme hos sin mor og far i Bøe. Vi har skolebilde fra den tid på Tango. Mange av bygda s "gamle" gikk der. I 1917 dro han til Åsnes i Solør, hvor han var i 2 år på Toverud skole, fram til 1919. Han har fortalt at en gang var det så kaldt der at de ikke fikk varmen opp i skolestua og elevene måtte gå hjem. Mens han var i Solør fikk han spanskesyken, da syklet han hjem til Vang for å ligge syk der. På et stevne møtte han styreren for Vestmar folkehøyskule i Drangedal (Telemark), Andreas Ystad, som spurte om han ville bli lærer der. Far kom dit i 1918 og ble der i seks år. Han kaller det selv noe av den mest interessante lærerperioden sin. Mens han var på Vestmar ble han syk, legen fant ikke ut hva det var og far var ett år og 6 mnd på sjukeheimen i Vestre Slidre. Ystad skulle til Marcello Haugen for ett eller annet , og far ba ham også spørre for seg. Da Ystad var ferdig med sine spørsmål, fortalte han at han hadde noen spørsmål fra en venn. "Et øyeblikk", sa Marcello, og holdt Ystad i hånden en stund, "Nå har jeg han", sa han og sa at far skulle skrive ti l ham. Det gjorde far og Marcello svarte at han hadde noen utposinger nederst på en lunge. Det viste seg å være pleuritten. Ystad forsøkte å få far til å bli lenger ved Vestmar, men far valgte hjembygda si, i alle fall for noen år. Men skoleåret var bare 6 måneder, det var både for lite å gjøre og 6 mnd uten lønn var også lite å leve av. Ystad ville ikke at han skulle slutte, men da det ble ledig en lærerpost ved barneskolen i Vang, flyttet far hjem igjen. Han bodde da på Kl ukkarhaugo, som nå er fredet. Foreldrene hans flyttet fra Bøe og til ham på Klukkarhaugo, hvor de hadde noen kyr. I Vang ble han også klokker og kirkesanger hos den tyskfødte sogneprest Fürwald. Sammen med ham opplevde far mye moro. Han sier selv at det var et utviklende samarbeid. Bl.a. var de sammen i Tyskland. I 1930 satte de opp og spilte "Olavsbilete " i øsende regn for Kong Håkon, til minne om slaget på Stiklestad på 900 års jubileet for innføringen av kristendommen i Norge. Han har satt ut sangen "Alla mina geita" som han kunne etter sin far. Gurvin har også skrevet ned den sangen, etter notater som far har gjort. Far hadde skrevet en note litt slurvete, dermed skrev Gurvin sangen ned med en note feil. Ilse hørte de n i et kor, og oppdaget at det var en liten feil i sangen.

    Far var en god felespiller, helt til han brakk lillefingeren og den ble gipset feil av dr. Novotny. Han fortsatte å spille fele etter det, men som han selv sa var det bare som en skygge av hvordan han egentlig hadde kunnet spille. Jeg og alle andr e barn som hørte han spille var veldig imponert over et stykke han spilte som hadde med seg alle slags lyder fra fjøset. Han hadde en nydelig sangstemme, tenor, som gjorde ham kjent som kirkesanger. Han hadde lært stemmebruk hos Marie Irgens, og opptrådte ofte ved festlige anledninger, f.eks. i Valdreslaget.

    En sommerdag nellom omkring 1915, kom den senere krigshelten og professoren Arnold Restad, til Tangadn. (Restad ble også senere den første styreformannen i Norsk rikskringkasting). Restad forteller selv om denne turen i en av sine mange bøker, ha n ble rodd fra Vassenda til Helestrønd, og gikk sammen med sitt følge gjennom Tangelia. Der ble han betatt av den vakre naturen og plukket seg ut en tomt på Mehankberget. Far var på stølen da, og Restad kom opp for å snakke om tomten. Far skull e spørre grunneierne om Restad kunne få bygge en hytte på Mehankberget. Andris J Bøe (Andris Sygarde) sa nei, men da far spurte om han selv kunne få sette opp en hytte, var det ikke nei i Andris sin munn. Far og onkel Nils (Nils N Bøe 1881- ) kjøpe en gammel stue fra Syndrolsbøkko, og satte den opp på Mehankberget i 1917, etter at de hadde spurt alle grunneierne om lov. Det var Nils på Kjelvo (se denne ) som satte opp selet, etter at bestefar (Nil s T Bøe) hadde kjørt det opp om vinteren. Selet er antakelig fra midten av 1600-tallet. Den siste som ble født i det, døde i brannen på Kvåle 39/1 i 1936.

    Far var et meget klokt menneske, som har tenkt gjennom de fleste sider ved livet. Selv om han var gift med mor, som var tysk, gikk han inn i tysk fangenskap under krigen. Han satt i lærerleiren i Kirkenes, da jeg ble født. Jeg har aldri hørt ha n snakke stygt om noe menneske. Selv om jeg er hans sønn, vil jeg kalle ham en "meget høvisk mann" i tråd med det OBW skriver i Wangensteenslekten. For meg er det ingen overdrivelse når jeg kaller ham "DET BESTE MENNESKE JEG HAR MØTT", selv da ha n gikk i sitt 100 år, hadde han omsorg for andre mennesker, og snakket om livets mening og hvor viktig det er å ta vare på hverandre. Fysisk påsto han at han ikke er sterk, og jeg husker godt han sa at han aldri ville bli så gammel som brødrene sine, da jeg var ung. Likevel overlevde han alle sine søsken og var den av dem som ble eldst. Han ville alltid bli med til Tangadn i pås ken, uansett hvor strevsom det kunne være å komme opp dit. Da han var 98 år gammel, kjørte han selv snøscooter ned til Briskebu.

    Han døde på Ullevål sykehus 18. mars 1995, nesten 101 år gammel. Ilse og Eva var hos ham. Selv var jeg på et møte i styret i Cricom regional i Portugal.

    Eksamen fra Bodø lærerskole, Lærer på Kjelsås skole. Journalist i Dagsnytt Radio og Dagsrevyen. Opplæringsleder og distriktssjef i Finnmark. Det er Harald Bøe som har samlet denne slektshistorien på data, som har laget noen høyst personlige merknader til enkelt personer, pluss sitater fra tidligere slektsbøker fra Vang.

    Kildene er bl.a Bygdebøkene for Vang og Slidre - Samtaler med personer i og utenfor Vang, spesielt med min far Lars Bøe, og Sigrid Haugen, Ingebjørg Netrøst, Ola og sønnen Knut Bøland, Guri Bøland, Boye H Skeie og mange, mange, mange andre - Kirk ebøkene i Vang - Statsarkivet på Hamar - Boye Kattevolds "Gamalt frå Vang" Ove B Wangensteen; "Wangensteen-Slægten en Personalhistorisk oversikt" -

    Jeg har også hatt stor hjelp av Skolestyrer Johannes Nepstads (Nefstad) bok "Paal Eriksen - Wangensteen-ætten i Valdres", det er mange sitater fra den i denne oversikten. Forkortelser: "BK" = Bøye Kattevold "Gamalt fra Vang" Utgitt og bearbeidet av Helge B Skeie og broren Thomas B Skeie, som var sønnene til Bøye Kattevold (Skulemeistar'n) "OBW" = Ove B Wangensteen-Slægten en Personalhistorisk oversikt" "Frøholm skriver:" Dette er fra de tre bygdebøkene om Vang som Frøholm har gitt ut. Johannes T Nefstad skriver i sin bok: dette er fra "Riksråd Paal Erikson og Wangensteen-ætten" Dessuten har jeg hatt stor hjelp av Helge Hammerstad (redaktør av Statskalenderen mm). og etter hvert av mine amerikanske "slektninger" John Bruce Simmons og James (Jim) Ellingboe , Betty Rocksvold og Candice Soine i USA.

    Inebjørg Valstad, Vang, har ydet verdifull hjelp ved innsamling av opplysninger om "nye" verdensborgere i Vang. Årstallene fra hennes forfedre stammer også fra henne.

    dwfrench1’s French Family Tree

    Margaret Annette Olson Richards December 6, 1920- October 6, 2003

    Margaret met her Lord October 6, 2003. Her family was with her continually until her untimely passing.

    Born December 6, 1920, at the family home in Fife, Washington, to Norwegian immigrants, Martin Olson and Marie Ellestad, she weighed just 3½ pounds. Margaret graduated from Fife High School, attended secretarial college in downtown Tacoma, worked briefly for Weisfield’s Jewelers, and then joined Puget Sound Plywood Co-op, which was co-founded by her father. Margaret also purchased and remodeled homes turning them into apartments.

    It was at Puget Sound Plywood that Margaret met a handsome, smooth talking salesman, Edmond Paul Richards, who worked for Pacific Banknote Company. It wasn’t long before they married and he joined the family photographic business on Pacific Avenue, Richards Portrait and Commercial Photography Studio. Along with real estate her other interests included ceramics. Soon after the birth of their children, Nancy and Ed Jr., it was no longer a hobby but took over the basement, garage and their residence on North Prospect. Her ceramic business grew rapidly and Margaret moved the business to 208 St. Helens Avenue. She poured and sold greenware, taught classes, made and labeled her own glazes. Richards’ Ceramics became the largest ceramic shop in the Pacific Northwest in the 1950s. She continued to operate it until 1968.

    Following the death of her husband Ed in 1984, it was decided to close the family photographic business. Margaret donated nearly one million photographs and negatives to the Tacoma Public Library. This donation represented the entire inventory of Richards Studio; Tacoma’s longest running photography business. Because of the historical significance of this collection, the library dedicated a full time staff to cataloging and maintaining these historic records. Every day a different picture from the Richards Studio Collection can be found on page B2 of the News Tribune in the “Puget Sound Photo Album.”

    Over the years Margaret was involved in numerous civic activities including AquaBelles, Senior Scene, PLU’s Troll House, Norwegian Drill Team, and she was a member of the Daughters of Norway for over 60 years. She also helped in her son’s business. She loved to baby-sit her great grandchildren and they loved it too. A favorite pastime was eating out with her many friends, classmates and club members some of which were childhood friends, which still live in Fife.

    Margaret was preceded in death by her mother and father, Marie Ellestad Olson and Martin Olson, brother, Gene Olson, and husband of forty years, Edmond Paul Richards, Sr. She is survived by her daughter Nancy and son-in-law Bob Walter, son Edmond Jr., daughter-in-law Jane Richards, grandchildren, Edmond Paul Richards III, Jaime Richards, Tim Walter (wife Lonnie), Curt Albrecht (wife Mahshid), Tami Walter Kamalu, (husband Hiram), and four great grandchildren, Megan, Rachel, and Erin Walter and Caleb Kamalu plus many other relatives.

    Margaret was a dear friend to many, had a great sense of humor, was incredibly generous and had a beautiful way with words. She will be sorely misssed. Ya sure ya betcha!

She was raised and educated in Riverdale, ND graduating from Riverdale High School in 1969.

    On June 16, 1984, Debbie was united in marriage to Mike Miller in Donnybrook, ND.

    She was secretary at the Fortuna radar base until it closed then transferred to Minot Air Force Base Fire Department, where she worked until their first son Corey was born in 1986, when she decided to be a homemaker. Their second son Shawn was born in 1987. Her boys always came first and were her pride and joy! After living in Minot, they moved to rural Donnybrook to a farm. Debbie loved living in the country and raising her boys on the family farm.

    After her boys started school, Debbie worked at home as a medical transcriptionist. She also spent several summers working for the Department of Transportation which she thoroughly enjoyed. At the time of her death, she was a Scentsy consultant. Debbie loved to visit, so working for Scentsy was a perfect match for her. It gave her the opportunity to socialize and meet new friends and being a Scentsy consultant was not a job, just fun.

    Debbie had a bubbly personality with a unique giggle to match. Her smile always brightened the room. She had a love for life, her family and her friends. She enjoyed conversations, camping, crosswords puzzles, shooting pool, boxing and a good mystery. She was a loyal friend and loved spending time visiting on the phone. She was also a member of the Washburn American Legion Auxiliary.

    Debbie was blessed with her granddaughter Haley, born on June 20, 2008. This brought a new adventure to her life she loved dearly.

    Debbie was preceded in death by her father, Cyril Hennenfent; her brother Wade Hennefent; and her step dad; Russ Elvrum.
