Jim’s notes:

Han var først på Stele 21/1. Det henger et maleri av han og kona hans på Beitostølen høyfjellshotell. Han giftet seg til Kvam og flyttet dit. Lensmannskontoret på Stele var en peisestue som nå er sel på heimstølen til Stele 21/1.

Han var en høy og rank mann med langt hår som hang i krøller ned over skuldrene. Han hadde stort rødlig skjegg. Han ble meget velstående i sin lensmannsperiode og var en meget aktet lensmann. Bunadtøyet i Valdres herrebunad er etter ham. OWB (Wang ensteen-Slægten) skriver om han: "Han var en Tid Gårdbruker på Steile og blev Lendsmann i Vang 1821. Hans Kontorbygning på Steile var ikke som Lendsmandsbygninger nutildags, men kund en liden Peisestue, der den Dag i Dag benyttes som et efter nuv ærende Forhold lidet og uanseligt Seterhus på Steiles Hjemseter. Det var først av ikke rart bevendt med Hans Kundskaber, men Hodet var lyst - Han var af sin Samtid holdt for en Begavelse av Rang - og det blev ikke længe, får han var Stillingen fu ldt voksen. Og det er fortalt af ham selv, at han skrev sin ansøgning om Lendsmannsbestillingen på Fjøstrevet, fordi han vilde være uset og ikke lade sig mærke med, at han , unge Mand, optrådte som Lendsmandsaspirant, overfor sin Forgjenger, Lends mand og Stortingsmand Ole Qvam, der efter sigende havde gjort Lendsmandsstillingen ledig mod at lade sig betale 100 Spd. Og så fik den smarte Lendsmand Qvam smukt finde seg i, at han aldrig fik Lendsmandsstillingen igjen, for det viste sig me r og mer, at det lyst Hode på Wangensteen greiede Stillingen udmærket godt.

Lendsmand Wangensteen var en stærkbygged Mand, nærved 3 Alen høi og rank som Gran. Ansigtet var vakkert, Næsen dog lidt fladtrygt, Munden var velformet, og Håret, som han bar tredelt, i smagfulde krøllede Lokker langt ned på Skuldrene og det rødgu le Skjæg bredte sig som et Skjold over hele Brystet. Stemmen var sterk og klangfuld, så når han f.Ex. læste Bekjentgjørelser fra Kirkebakken, var det en Nydelse at høre ham såvel på kort som længer Afstand. Hans Optræden var udsøgt høflig såvel ov erfor høi som lav, og når han talte med sine Overordnede skede det altid på stående Fod. Men når så Vedkommende syntes det blev for meget av dette "på stående Fod" saa brugte de at sige: Værsgo, sit ned Lendsmann, sit neden ned". Nokså beskeden t pleide han da at svare; "Tak, Tak, Tusind Tak".

Lars Wangensteen blev en rig Mand i de 50 år han var Lendsmand. Det antages at han var Eier av 10 til 15 Tusind Spd. og et Par Gårde; Kvam og Stele. Hans Døtre kom til de største Gårde i Vang og Slidre og for Sønnernes Vedkommende lagde det sig sl ig, at "nogen kom ud" og de ind. Alligevel ser det ikke ud til at den Lennsmands Rigdom og Magtfylde har havt stor Tilvækst hos alle hans Efterkommere. Tvertimod! Lendsmand Wangensteen var gift 2 Gange, første Gang med Maren Johnsdatter, med hvilken han fik Gården Kvam i Medgift. I dette ægteskab - den andet var barnløst - var 7 Barn."

Ove B Stele (Wangensteen) skriver dette om ham i en oversikt over lensmann i Valdres historielags tidsskrift: "Lars Nilsen Wangensteen Han var en tid gårdbruker på Steile og blev lendsmand i 1830. Hans kontorbygning på Steile var en liten peisestue, der den dag i dag benyttes som et efter nutidens forhold litet og uanseelig sæterhus på Steiles hjemsæter. Det var fra først av småt bevendt med hans kundskaper, men hodet var lyst og det blev ikke længe, førend han var stillingen fuldt voksen. Det er fortalt av ham selv, at han skrev sin ansøkning om lendsmandsbestillingen på fjøstrævet, fordi han vil de være uset og ikke la sig merke med, at han, unge mand, optrådte som lensmandsansøker overfor sin forgjænger lensmand og stortingsmand Ole Qvam på Kvale, der efter sigende hadde gjort lensmandsbestillingen ledig mot at la sig betale 100 spd . Og så fik den smarte lensmand Qvam smukt finde sig i, at han aldrig fik lensmandsstillingen igjen, for det viste sig mer og mer at de lyse hode på Lars Wangensteen greide stillingen noksaa godt.

Lensmand Wangensteen blev en rik mand i de ca. 50 år som han var lensmand i Vang. For i hans tid vokste retshandlinger op som paddehatter i en høstnat. Og det har bl. a. været sagt at anmeldelser, stevninger, forhør og domme i anledning brændevins loven av 1848 økede lensmandens indtægter. Ved sådanne anledninger brukte lensmanden at si: "Gudske lov for lov og ret". Men "Klokkarguten" - søn til klokker Tostensen på søndre Bø - som var mer "fremtalende" end mange andre mennesker sa: "Du tal a so ein man, men peika so ein skjelm".

I det samme fik lensmanden øie på han Trond i Brudgomshouge og sa: Dæ æ formykji me de Trond! Du ha sagt at Fan skulde ta me o fautn o skrivar'n o prukeraterad'n". Men han Trond påstod at det hadde han ikke sagt - han hadde ikke sagt at Fan skuld e ta dem alle på en gang, men så litt og litt omsenn.

Men lensmanden var nok ikke så lei som noen ville ha det til. Jeg mindes godt at ha set et brev fra lensmanden til en god ven og fordums nabo. Brevet lyder bl. a. slik: Det har kommet mig for øre at du min gode ven B. har brændt brændevin ulovlig; men det tror jeg ikke". Dermed var den sak klappet og klar.

Lars Wangensteen var født 1791 og døde 1872."

Lars married Maren Jonsdatter KVAM in 1818 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Maren (daughter of Jon Ovesen KVAM and Berit Torsteinsdatter SKJEL) was born in 1799 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died in 1841. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Jim’s notes:

Berit Hamre var en slektning av Nils OBW (Wangensteen-Slægten):skriver Han var en stille og frædsel Mand, som vilde alle vel og ingen ilde. Han lå ikke - som Wangensteener ellers - i Kamp og Strid om Stillinger i Bygdepolitikkens Tjeneste, men holdt sig udelukkende til sit Gårdsbrug på Thune. I Selskabslivet kunde han være rigtig lun og morsom, tog et Glas, lidt til og et Glas atpå og var ved sådanne Anledninger varmt interesseret for Napoleon den førstes Bedrifter og sagde med Eftertryk: "Napoleon var en stor Kriger!" Javist var Napoleon stor, men Trond Thune var derfor ikke mindre stor, - fordi han kjendte sig selv og ikke vilde være noget andet og mer end den han var, og man bør huske, at det er de små Helte som gjør de største Indsatsen i Livet. Gift 2 gange, første gang med en fjern Slegtning, Berit Hamre, og anden Gang med Marit Turtnæs. I første Ægteskap var følgende Barn: 1. Nils 2 Ingeleiv gift med Enkenmand Ola Helgesen Leine, 3 Anders (se merknad # 125 (Berit Hamre) 4 Anne I andet Ægteskap var 1 Barn BERIT, gift med Nils Opsahl, Ø Toten.

(Hbs anm.): Han var i virkeligheten gift tre ganger. Da Berit Hamre døde, giftet han seg med Sigrid Rogn i 1848, men hun døde før det var gått et år. Antakelig i barselseng. de hadde ikke barn.

• Occupation: Farmer, Ordførar. Forlikskommisær, Brev- og dokumentskrivar

Notes:

He is I2255 in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s notes:

Ved siden av ordførervervet, som han hadde i mange år, var han dokumentskriver og forlikskommisær. Han ble syk etter et bryllup sør i bygda, hvor han fikk for mye å drikke og døde av det. Med andre ord drakk han seg nok ihjel på dårlig hjemmebrent. Om de andre barna se merknad under kona Sigrid. Han var åttende ordføreren i Vang og den første som hadde hvervet mer enn i tre år. Han satt som ordfører til 1861, da Nils Thune overtok hvervet.

De fleste av barna dro til USA i 1868, de andre fulgte etter i 1876. De første må altså kalles de virkelige pionerer. De fleste ble farmere. Se fil USA OBW (Wangensteen-Slægten) skriver om Nils: "Vistnok med fuld Grund er det sagt at Wangensteenslægten er en åndskraftig Slægt og at enkelte af dens Medlemmer er høit begavede Mennesker Nils Wangensteen Stele må således i første Rekke nævnes blandt dem, som har raget høiest i Begavelse og Kundskaber. Han var i Årrækker Formandskabets Ordfører, Forligelseskommisær samt privat Brev- og Dokumentskriver for hver den, som trængte til hans Bistand. Han skrev et Indhold lige så godt som en Jurist og hans Håndskrift var meget vakker. Men hvad de kommunale Gjøremål angik, så afløstes han af sin Slægtning Nils Thune. Det var ingen annen Råd. Endeligt kom det sidste og skjæbnesvangre Tillfælde. Det var et Bryllup syd i Bygden og mer end nok af sterke Drikke. Så skrantet Nils Steile og var sykelig en kort Tid, indtil Døden gjorde en Ende på den før såvel legemlig som åndelig kjæmpesterke Mand. 54 År gammel"

Dette tyder på at han var alkoholiker?OBW hentyder ofte at lensmennene reiste vidt omkring og hvor de kom fikk de en "sjenk", derfor ble de ofte litt for glade i "det sterke".

Frøholm skriver:"Han var på Berge ikring 1840, men overtok garden her i 1842. Han ble sjuk etter et bryllaup sør i bygda, der det var mykje sterk drykk."(Dette kan også tyde på at han fikk i seg dårlig hjemmebrent og døde av det!)

Sigrid og Nils hadde også disse barna: Maren død lietn Maren (1842- ) gm Ole I Flaten (1842- ) de giftet seg i 1865 og dro til USA. Der ble han bokholder.

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.

Born and died in Tune 36/2 nørre, Nordigarden. Buried in Vang kirkegård. Elected to the Norwegian parliament in 1871, 1874, 1877, and 1880.

Han var poståpner, ordfører fra 1862, Stortingsmann 1871. Han overtok ordførervervet fra Nils Wangensteen i 1861 og hadde det helt fram til 1877. Altså i 16 år. Ingen andre hadde sittet så lenge som ham i Vang.

I "VTHT" 1981 står det om Nils:
"Han overtok farsgarden i 1855. Gift med Marit Helgesdotter, dotter til Helge Torsteinsen Kvåle og Sigrid Andersdotter. Thune døyde i meget ung alder. Han var medlem av herredsstyret frå 1862 og vart ordfører med det same. Det var han til 1877.
Thune var representant på Stortinget fyrste gong 1871-73, attvald 1874-76 og i 1880-82. Han var varamann 1877-79 og møtte då i staden for Baggerud. (HB: Det vil si at han satt sammenhengende på Stortinget i nesten 10 år, Han døde før han kunn e gå inn i den siste Stortingsperioden han var valgt til)

Thuna vart rekna som ein lovande mann, og det var eit tap for Valdres at han gjekk burt i så ung alder. Det var no mange år før ein Valdris vart valt til tingmann, like til 1889. (Men O.K. Ødegård møtte som varamann fleire gonger i denne periode.)

OWB (Wangensteen-ætten) "Han var en mægtig personlighet, havde mange Interesser og stor virkelyst, hvor han kom til at indtage en ledende Stilling i sin Bygd. Og omendskjønt selvlært i ordets fuldeste mening besatt han alligevel en betydelig del Kundskaber sådet påsakkyndigt Hold var sagt at Nils Thune var av Valdresdalens Kundskabsrigeste Mand på den Tid. Også på egen Hånd havde han lagt sig efter Sprog, så han talte flytende Engelsk og lidt Tysk, og han kom derved til at gjøre Tjeneste som Tolk for reisende Engelskmænd.

Han var liden av Vekst men vakker og hans Opptreden så absolut naturlig og ukunstlet, at enhver som kom ham når, følte sig behagelig berørt ved hans Person. I ung Alder blev han indvalgt i Formandskabet, og afløste sin Slægtning Nils Wangensteen i Stillingen som Ordfører. Og da de kommunale Affærer i årrekker var skjøttet i skjønn Enighed af Stedets Prest, Lensmand og dennes Søn Nils W, så blev der nu sterke Rivninger. For Sagen var, at Nils T. var en kamplysten Mand som ikke slog en Tøddel af, førend alle Kommunens Anliggender var i fuld Orden. Og som rimeligt er likte ikke Prest, Lensmand, og den tidligere Ordfører, at Nils T efterhånden kom til å bidrage til å sætte dem ud af Befatning med kommunale Anliggender, og vistnok til Trøst for sig selv brugte de leilighedsvis at citere Napoleons Udsagn om Karl Johan: " Jeg har fostret en Slange ved mit Br yst". For Nils Thune havde erhvervet meget af sine Kundskaber hos Presten, Lensmanden og Nils W. som han havde såmegen Omgang med.

Det bør erindres at Nils T søgte at forhindre Valdres Distrigstsfængsel opført for Amtets og Statens Regning, men her fik han ikke den fornødne Tilslutning. Nu derimod da 50 Års Forløp har kastet Lys over Tingen, viser det sig at Fengslet ikke ale ne er en Uhyrlighed for Distriktet, men at det godtsom har støt uden Belæg og kun tjent til at medføre store årlige Udgifter. Nils Thune kunde ikke nøies med bare at være Ordfører og ledende Mand inden sin Bygd. Med sine sterke Interesse for sociale Spørgsmål følte han Trang til end mer at kaste sig ind i det offentlige Liv, og da han i 1876 for første Gang ble v valgt til Stortingsmand, viste det sig at han var en Mand, ikke bare med passiv Indsigt, men med Ideer og positiv Reformtrang.

Såvel i offentlige som private Gjøremål var Nils T en fremadstrebende Mand. Han var i Årrækker Poståbner og Stationsholder, samt Agent for Emigrations kontoret i Bergen.

Fra sit Gårdsbruk på Thune, som jeg af personlig Erfaring, ved at han elskede så dybt, tog han tunge løft, ryddede Agre og Marken for Sten og Stub og tenkte vistnok at Gården skulde forblevet i Slægtens Eie videre fremover, men så blev ikke Tilfælde, idet den ældste Søn ikke såret længe efter Overtagelsen igjen solgte Gården til Kristoffer Dahl - til stor Græmmelse for den øvrige Slægt. Et Forsøg på at få Gården tilbage me d Odel lykkedes ikke.

Nils Thune var gift med Marit Helgesdatter på Kvale. De havde følgende Barn:

1. Trond ( ) gift med Berit J Wangensteen Kvam ( ) uden Barn. Uddannet Agronom overtog han Fædrenegården som han kort efter solgte og reiste til Amerika, hvorefter han efter 7 Års Forløb kom tilbage som en Rig Mand. Derover var han fø rst Handelsbetjent ved et stort Handelshus, men havde sin egen Forretning i North Branch, Minnesota.

2. Ingeborg gift med fhv Amtskolebestyrer Asle Bergsgaard. Barn: Arne, Haldis Margit og Nils

3. Helge (1861-1950) Stortingsmand og Lagtingspresident. (som fotnote hos OBW står det: For at lette arbeidet med nærværende Slægtsbiografi, var det aftalt at han skulde skrive Udkast til en selvbiografi, men sådant har stedse ladet vente på sig ) (Han ble cand.jur i 1893, lensmann i Vang fra 1891. Han satt på Stortinget i to perioder fra 1911 valgt første gang som suppleant til Statsrevisioen. Da han var lensmann i Vang, hadde han engang arrestert Gjest Bårdsen. Helge skulle kjøre ham til Oslo på selve julaften. Om kvelden tok de inn på et gjestgiveri, og Helge syntes det var leit at Gjest måtte gå i håndje rn på julaften. "Hvis du løva ikkje rømme, ska du sleppe jødne", hadde Helge sagt. Gjest hadde gitt ham sitt æresord på ikke å rømme fra ham. Dermed feiret de julaften og kjørte videre neste dag til Oslo, uten at Gjest satt i håndjern. Da de kom fram ti l politihuset i Oslo, ble alle forferdet over at Gjest ikke satt i "jern". Han ble straks boltet fast. Helge tok farvel med ham, to timer etterpå hadde Gjest rømt fra fengslet i Oslo, (men sitt æresord til Helge holdt han).
Johannes T Nefstad skriver i sin bok, (hvor han ellers har tatt med det meste fra OBW - Wangensteenslekten): Han var student 1884, kand.jur.1893, lensmann i Vang, meget benyttet som kommunemann, medlem av Oppland fylkes utvalg fra 1907 -1911,
gjeldsmeklingsmann. Han var med i anleggsstyret og styret for Valdresbanen 1915-1937, mesteparten av tiden som formann. Han var stortingsvaramann 1910-1912 og stortingsmann fra 1922-1930, lagtingspresident fra 1927-1930, var også medlem av forskjellige offentlige nemder. han var en meget god mann for Vang i den tiden han var på Stortinget, og Vang kommune kan nok takke ham for at de fikk beholde sine fjellrettigheter. Han testamenterte mesteparten av sin store formue til Vang kommun e. Min far, Lars Bøe (1894-) gikk til ham, da han skulle låne penger for å begynne på lærerskolen. han fikk låne 400 korner, som far betalte tilbake de to første årene etter eksamen, enda årslønnen bare var 300 kroner p.r. år!

Jim’s notes:

OBW (Wangensteen-Slægten) skriver om ham: "Som Ældste Søn var han odelsberettiget til Kvam. Hvad Evner m.v angår så var han absolut den mest begavede inden Wangensteen-Slægten i Vang. Den Gløgge Mand og Menneskekjender Knut Nystuen - populært kaldt "Basen" - kunde således ved en Anledning give Lars W følgende korte, men Indholdsrige Skudsmål: "Detta va ein væl utrusta Ungdom". Alligevel var Skjæbnen den at alle Muligheder for at finde frem til noget varigt godt ikke lå i Lar s W Vei - en Gåde, som det synes at være fra først til sidst. Gjenemglødet som han var af Ungdomsfriskhed og Lærelyst blev han i ung Alder optaget som Elev ved Lærerskolen i Land og tog Eksamen med bedste Karakter. Dog så at der blev gjort den Tilføielse, at han var noget ustadig. Færdig med Skolen blev han beskjæftiget på Kotoret hos faderen og senere ansat hos Lensmand Bratli på Toten samt endvidere på Sagførerkontor i Kristiania. Alt syntes å gå godt idet han fik rig Anledning til å udfolde sin dygtighed og fyldestgjør e for de Forventninger, som stilledes til en så kundsabsrig og begaved Mand, som han var. Men så blev det desværre ikke længe før hans Glansperiode var forbi. Lensmandsbestillingen i Vang, som uafbrudt havde været i Hændene til Wangensteen i 60 År, blev efter John Ws Død og hans Søn Lars Konstitution i Stillingen ov erladt til den hæderlige, troværdige og hjertegode Mand P Ellingsen. Vang fik da mange "Fredens År", idet Folk fik stelle med sine offentlige Gjøremål uden nogensomhelst Påtryk fra den eller den Kant, Dette var bare "et Stille før Stormen". For ef terhånden kom "Traditionerne" igjen og der blev et politisk Sjau i Bygden, som det neppe har været Magen til. Efterhånden ble Lars W styren og lei. - det sagdes på Grund af han ble negtet Ægdeskap af familien. Dette får stå for egen Regning. So m en Eiendommelighed ved Lars var hans stærke Interesse for religiøse Emner. .. Skridtvis gik det nedeover med Forstanden og han måtte tilslut anbringes på Amtets Sindsygeasyl, hvor Døden gjorde en Ende på alle hans Lidelser og Savn."

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.

His entry in Wikipedia:

Nils Nilsen Thune (27 May 1880 – 28 May 1950) was a Norwegian jurist and civil servant.
He was born in Vang, Oppland, and was a son of Nils Trondsen Thune. He graduated with the cand.jur. degree in 1902. He was hired in the Trondhjem police in 1911, and became police inspector in the city in 1916 and an assessor in 1920. In 1924 he was appointed as the district stipendiary magistrate in Inderøy. During these years he was a member of the city councils of both Trondhjem and Steinkjer. In 1933 he became district stipendiary magistrate of Eiker, Modum and Sigdal, and in 1945 he became acting County Governor of Buskerud, and he got the position on a permanent basis in 1946.
In 1945 he was also named as a member of the commission Undersøkelseskommisjonen av 1945 that scrutinized the actions of the Norwegian government in 1940. The other commission members were Gustav Adolf Lammers Heiberg, Arnold Holmboe, Ole Hallesby, Ernst Fredrik Eckhoff, Arne Bergsgård and Sverre Steen, and the secretary was Helge Sivertsen. The background for the commission was the German invasion of Norway on 9 April 1940, and the question was raised whether Norway could have avoided it through a different foreign and security policy. Second, the actions of Norwegian authorities between 9 April and 25 September 1940 were investigated, both regarding the three branches of government (Parliament, Government, Supreme Court) that eventually laid down their offices, but also the transition authority (the Administrative Council) as well as other relevant civil and military bodies.
In April 1950 it was decided that he retire from his position on 1 October the same year. However, he died on Drammen Hospital on 28 May 1950, having suffered a heart problem during the funeral of his brother Helge Nilsen Thune three days before.

Notes:

This illegitimate daughter of Berit Olsdatter Kvale (b. 1851) and Lars Johnson Wangensteen (b. 1848) was the first demonstrable leirmal for each parent. Ove Olsen Kvale was the responsible member of the Vang congregation who stood for the illegitimate Berit.

From the Emigrantar over Bergen frå Austlande, on August 26, 1898: three unmarried individuals who were born in Vang i Valdres but were returning to their home in Minneapolis after a visit departed on the Stjernelinjen line. The three were: Britha Larsen Kvale, 26, b. 1872 (#11616), occupation syerske (seamstress), Rangdi Tollefsen Ellingbø, 28, b. 1870, occupation syerske, and Jørgen Tollefsen Ellingbø, 31, b. 1867, occupation juveler.

Rangdi and Berith arrived in New York aboard the S.S. Majestic on September 8, 1898, after departing Liverpool on August 31st. Rangdi is shown as a U.S. citizen, Berith is a citizen of Norway.

She is probably the Bertha Kvale of Minneapolis, listed in the Valdris Book, who was a member of the Samband between 1902 and 1910.

According to MOMS, Bertha L Kvale married “Christ A Joe” in Hennepin County, Minnesota, on 1 Jan 1913. The Minnesota Marriages database on FamilySearch clarifies the husband’s name for this marriage as Christ A Loe. Bride and groom were both “of Hennepin County.” The ELCA record of the marriage shows Inga Ellingbo of Minneapolis as one of the witnesses. We don’t know who that Inga was.

The hospital was the informant for the information on her death certificate. At the time of her death, she lived at 2622 3rd Avenue S. She had been in Minneapolis for 40 years. She died from an acute small bowel obstruction due to post-operatory adhesions. She had an operation, and “exploratory laporatomy,” on June 21st. She had entered the hospital with peritonitis and bronchopneumonia.

His obit in the Northfield News, as cited by Dalby:

Thomas A. Grove, a well known resident of Northfield, died at noon Friday, July 19, after a long illness. Mr. Grove had been in poor health ever since the death of his oldest son, Walter Andrew, three years ago, when he had an attack of scarlet fever. Last February he was taken seriously ill, but recovered sufficiently to return to work again for a few weeks. In May, however, his illness took a turn for the worse, ending in his death last Friday. The funeral exercises were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 at the home at 706 Union street and at 3 oclock at the Congregational church chapel, Rev. E. B. Dean officiated. Miss Edna Mabon and Tom Mabon sang two songs, “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere” and “Sometime Well Understand,” the same songs that were sung at the funeral of his son three years ago. The interment was made at Oaklawn cemetery, where the burial services were conducted by the Workman lodge, of which the deceased was a member. The profusion of flowers and the large crowd at the funeral testified to the esteem in which the deceased was held. The pallbearers at the funeral were L. R. Williamson, D. D. Springsted, C. A. Schleif, Jos. Drake, Ben Odegaard, and Knute Johnson. Visitors from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wohlers of Faribault, and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hensworth, Nels Kvale, Fred Loe, Ingebret Kvale, Miss Ingelev Kvale, and Miss Holden, all of Minneapolis. Mr. Grove was born in Vang, Valders, Norway, on Sept. 5, 1873, and came to America with his parents in 1876. The family settled in Goodhue county and later removed to this vicinity, where they made their home on a farm on the Brush Prairie road. On Aug. 24, 1901, Mr. Grove was married to Miss Florabelle Chamberlain of Northfield, and the couple went to live on the present Spring Brook farm, where they remained two years. Then they moved to Northfield and with the exception of a year spent in Wichita, Kans., they made this their home since. Mr. Grove was employed as a clerk in grocery stores and was known as one of the best and most efficient clerks in the trade. Most recently he was employed at the L. R. Williamson store. Mr. Grove is survived by his wife and three children, Lyle John, Edgar Thomas and Byer Andrew. He leaves also his aged father, Andrew A. Grove, Sr., of this city, two brothers, Ole Grove of Northfield and Andrew A. Grove of Milbank, S. D., and three sisters, Misses Emma and Minnie Grove and Mrs. R. A. Whitson of Northfield.

Find A Grave calls her Emma Grove Hemsworth, 14 Jun 1858 to 1 Jan 1955, wife of John Hemsworth 1863-1948. Her brother Thomas’s obit refers to a Mrs. J. E. Hemsworth so that name is probably correct, even if the date is not.

Called Mary in the 1880 census.

The 1900 census shows her as 21 years old, born in September of 1878. She is in the 1880 census as one year-old Mary. It’s hard to understand why the obvious error of the 1881 birth date is repeated so many times in the records, including her gravestone and her obit.

In the 1930 census, she is Minnie Grove, age 39, living in a rooming house in Fargo, North Dakota. She is a corset clerk in a department store.

Minnie’s obit in the Faribault Daily News, cited by Dalby:

Other Events and Attributes:

• MN Death Cert Checked: Y
• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1972-MN-033787
• Baptism: 30 Jul 1883, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Baptismal sponsors were Tollef Olson Ellingbö, his wife Marit Jögersdatter, Emilie Erickson Thune, Kristoffer Tollefson Ellingbö, and Anne Olsdatter Kvale.

In the 1900 U. S. census, Rangdi (b. June 1872) and Jorger Ellingbo (b. July 1867), brother and sister, are living with their newly-arrived niece, Mary Ellingboe (b. June 1883), at 1425 Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. Rangdi is a seamstress, Jorger is a jeweler, and Mary has no occupation. Jorger originally came to the U. S. in 1885 and Rangdi in 1890. That niece Mary may have been caught in the 1900 census at the location of her employer where a 16 year-old Mary Ellingbo (but one supposedly born in May of 1884), recently arrived in the U.S. (1900), is a servant at the home of the Cargill family (the Cargills) on 33rd and Portland. (Could not find a Marit born to Ellingboes in Vang in 1884.)

The Vang church book emigration record shows a Marit Andersdatter Ellingbø, b. 1883, emigrating to the U. S. in 1900, perhaps leaving Vang on March 21st. Ole Iversen Ellingboe (#9188) left Vang at about the same time, perhaps leaving Vang on March 23rd.

Also from the Emigrantar over Bergen frå Austlande, on March 23, 1900, Marit Andersdtr Ellingbø, 17, b. 1883, born and living in Vang, unmarried, departed on the Allan line. Her occupation is shown as “datter af Veivgter.” Marit departed from Liverpool on the S.S. Tunisian on April 5, 1900, and arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on April 14, 1900. She is shown as Marit A. Ellingboe, single female, age 16, occupation “servant.” Her last residence was Valders and her final destination is Minneapolis. She paid for her own passage and had $5. She was going to join her cousin Rangde Ellingbö. Marit appears to have been traveling with 16 year-old Ragnhild Lunde, also from Valders (but not, apparently, from Vang) and also heading to Minneapolis to find work as a domestic.

In the 1901 Minneapolis city directory, she is Marit A Ellingbo, a seamstress, living with Jøger T Ellingbo at 1425 East Franklin.

She was one of the witnesses to her uncle Jøger’s 1903 marriage to Olena.

In the 1903 Minneapolis city directory, she is Marie Ellingbo, tailor at A J Kidd, boarding with Rangdi at 2121 13th Avenue S.

In the 1907 Minneapolis city directory, she is probably the Mary Ellingbo, seamstress, rooming at 2417 Butler Place.

In the 1909 Minneapolis city directory she is Marie Ellingbo, a seamstress who boards at 2417 Butler Place. There was a Conrad Hanson living on Butler Place at the same time.

In the 1910 Minneapolis city directory, she is still Marie Ellingbo, still a seamstress, still boarding at 2417 Butler Place.

Because Bertha is listed as “sister-in-law” in the 1920 census, we can deduce that Mary became the wife of Conrad Hanson and was living at 4420 43rd Avenue South in Minneapolis at that time.

Shown as Mary I. in her death certificate. Her father was shown as Ole Ellingboe and her mother as Ingeborg Qvale. The informant for her death certificate was her son Burton Hanson of 6421 Oliver in Minneapolis. (Burton was mistaken: Marit’s father was, indeed, Anders Tollefson.) Mary died of asthma and heart disease. Her usual residence at the time of death was 2246 East 56th Street in Minneapolis which may be the address of the “St. Olaf Residence.”

Died:
St. Olaf Residence

Marit married Conrad Mandius HANSON on 14 Sep 1910 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Conrad (son of Hans Andreas HALSEIDE and Anna Serine Pedersdatter) was born on 6 Feb 1883 in Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway; died on 27 Apr 1971 in Edina, Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 30 Apr 1971 in Sunset Memorial Park, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 7 Nov 1886, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

In the 1910 Norwegian census, he is living with his parents and siblings on the Njuko farm. That census shows his date of birth as (incorrectly) October 9, 1885.

Jim’s Valdres Slekt has Ola Andrissen Njuko Ellingbø remaining in Norway. As does the bygdebok.

He may be the 23 year-old Ola R. Ellingboe lodging at about 7th Avenue and 10th Street in Minneapolis in the 1910 census. He is a packer in a furniture factory or store and came to the U.S. in 1909.

Died:
Find A Grave says 8 Aug

Ole married Anna Sofie Andreasdatter NATVIK in 1925. Anna was born on 18 Jan 1905 in Årdal, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway; died on 19 Jul 1977 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; was buried in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 5 May 1891, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

She is not listed in Norway in the 1910 Norwegian census. The bygdebok says she went to Minnesota in 1908.

She is probably the Inga Ellingboe, age 19, servant, living in Richfield, Minnesota, in the 1910 census. She is living with the brothers Nels and Conrad Hanson on their dairy farm at about 54th Street and 28th Avenue. Also living on the farm is Arnold Heen, 23. All are from Norway and all appear to have come to the U.S. after 1900.

Jim’s site, in Valdres Slekt, says that she went to the U.S. before she had children and notes that the bygdebok doesn’t say anything about her coming back. Whatever, she is buried in the Vang church cemetery in Norway with her husband.

She had a daughter Ingeborg (b. ca 1935) with Anders Boe (b. 1878). The bygdebok has this Anders (son of Ola Andrisson Bøe 1854-1948 and Anne Olsdatter Øylo 1856-1938) as born in 1888, dying in 1953, and unmarried.

Birth:
on Skaare

• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1979-MN-028384
• Baptism: 14 Apr 1895, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

As Berit Andersdatter Ellingbø, she is living with her parents and siblings in the 1910 Norwegian census.

She arrived in New York on April 3, 1915, aboard the S.S. Kristianiafjord which had departed Bergen on March 25th. Berit was single, age 20, occupation domestic. She gave her father Anders T. Ellingbö of Vang, Valders, as her nearest relative in the country she had come from. She was traveling with her cousin Marit (10705).

In the 1916 Minneapolis city directory, she is probably the Bertha Ellingboe, seamstress, boarding at 4341 Nokomis Avenue.

She may be the Bertha Elingbow, a helper/laundress at Sheltering Arms, in the 1917 and 1918 Minneapolis city directories. There are no other Bertha Ellingboe variants in those two city directories.

In the 1918 Alien Registration, she was Bertha Ellingbo, age 23, of Minneapolis.

In the 1919 city directory, she is probably the Bertha Ellingbo who is a machine operator for Brown Brothers Mercantile Co. She boarded at 3500 16th Avenue S.

She is the Bertha Ellingbo, “sister-in-law”, living with the Mary and Conrad Hanson family in Minneapolis in the 1920 census. (Also see 6236.) She is a tailoress and came to the U.S. in 1915.

She died as Bertha E. Hanson, wife of Henry A. The informant for her death certificate was Burton Hanson. Her parents were Anders Ellingboe and Ingeborg Qvale. This is a different father than the Ole Ellingboe who Burton Hanson said was his mother’s father. Bertha was a seamstress engaged in the tailoring business. She died from a stroke. Her usual residence was 3414 Minnehaha Avenue.

Jim’s site’s Valdres Slekt does not include Berit in the children of Anders and Ingeborg. Nor does the bygdebok.

Buried:
Section C-15, Site 11053

Berit married Henry A HANSON on 3 Apr 1920 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Henry (son of Hans Andreas HALSEIDE and Anna Serine Pedersdatter) was born on 14 Jul 1891 in Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway; died on 1 Sep 1953 in Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 3 Sep 1953 in Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 3 Mar 1898, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

He is listed with his parents and siblings in the 1910 Norwegian census.

The bygdebok says he never married. He was a teacher in Hommelvik, Malvik.

Find A Grave incorrectly has his birth year as 1838. It also says, incorrectly, that he was married to “Synnave Ellingbøe.”

The confusion is because his gravestone is shared with Synnave Ellingbøe (#I31402). She is his niece, the daughter of Ola Ellingbøe and Anne Ellingbøe of Njüko.

Of 30/1.

From an article in the Minot Daily News, November 26, 2021:

ALEXANDER – The Haugen Ranch of Alexander was honored recently with the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association’s Rancher of the Year award.

The award was presented at a special awards banquet held during the organization’s annual convention in Fargo this past September. Seventy-five-year NDSA members and ranch proprietors Les and Shelly, along with their son Lane and daughter-in-law Kristan, run the cow-calf operation in McKenzie County.

In 1912, Lars and Christine (Dahl) Haugen homesteaded Haugen Ranch, 15 miles south of Alexander. They had made the voyage from Vang, Valdres, Norway, unwed at the time, and arrived at the port in Boston, Mass., one month apart from each other. In November 1912, Lars filed for land in Bowline Township in northwestern North Dakota and he began living on the land shortly after. Lars and Christine were married March 17, 1915. They began their married life on an empty prairie with empty hands, ready to work. In 1916, the land was officially patented as their own.

“One-hundred-and-five years later, Haugen Ranch lives on,” said Shelly, noting the family’s centennial celebration, which took place in 2016. “It has been fun and honorable to see Lars’ and Christine’s vision when they settled here mold into something they could only dream of. We keep building and we strive to be better each day.”

Lars and Christine had three children, all born on the homestead. Their sons, Orville and Luther, were farmers and ranchers living south of Alexander and their daughter Inga became a nurse and moved to town.

Luther Haugen married Florence and, in 1946, they purchased the family’s ranch and became North Dakota Stockmen’s Association (NDSA) members. In 1949, Luther relocated the ranch to its present location, two miles north of the original homestead. The homestead’s outbuildings still function as usable facilities today.

Luther passed away at the age of 50 in 1972. Florence and their four children, Les, Judy, Laura and Kay, continued to live and work on the ranch after Luther’s death. Florence retired in 1980 and, in 1981, Les and Shelly began purchasing the ranch from Florence and Les’s sisters. Les and Shelly continued to expand the ranching and farming operations, growing and adding acreage with each generation. They made it a point with their three children, Callie, Lane and Tess, to instill the tight-knit, hardworking family values of the western heritage. Les and Shelly give a lot of credit to the success of the ranch to their children for their hard work and continued dedication to the operation.

Les and Shelly introduced Charolais cattle into the commercial herd. The cattle herd presently consists of black and black baldy cows and still uses Angus and Charolais genetics. They calve in April, wean in the fall and sell to repeat private buyers. In addition, they keep black replacement females when able.

The Haugen family also hosts a large branding each year. “We do it the traditional way — with a rope and drag,” said Les. “Our neighbors come from all around. They play a vital part in our operation on branding day, and every other day of the year.” The Haugens credit not only the family for good help, but the indispensable and strong neighbor relationship the community around them has. “We are family-oriented and neighbor-oriented,” said Kristan. “Everyone around here helps each other and makes the world go round. It’s truly special.”

Today, Les, Shelly, Lane and Kristan operate Haugen Ranch and hold the Haugen Ranch’s NDSA membership. They’ve been a member for many years because the NDSA has the best of North Dakota cattle producers in mind, Les said.

Before returning to the ranch full-time, Lane received a welding degree and worked in the oilfield, while staying active on the family’s operation. Now, that education serves as a means for making the ranch more self-sufficient. “From being able to do the repairs that are necessary to raising our own feed and making our own hay, we prefer to be self-sufficient in every way possible,” said Lane. “Everyone has a hand in the operation to do so, including our children, Henri and Ledger.” The family also said, with self-sufficiency, comes the ability to be sustainable and push the ranch’s goals to the next level. “We improve every day and strive to make things better,” said Lane.

“Being a rancher is a proud way to live,” said Les. “You make the best of your cattle, make a living and spend time with your family that is alongside you every day.” The next generation agreed as Kristan noted, “We are able to set our own goals and be self-motivated. We take pride every day in what we do.”

Les and Shelly look forward to seeing the next generation — their eight grandchildren, Hadley, Harley, Rio, River, Henri, Ledger, Tay and Rye — playing their own roles on the ranch and in life.

The Haugen Ranch is a North Dakota Centennial Heritage Ranch, receiving the honor in 2016. The Haugen family is a member of the NDSA, MonDak Stockgrowers Association, McKenzie County Grazing Association, North Dakota Farm Bureau, American Quarter Horse Association and MonDak Quarter Horse Association.

“The Haugen Ranch embodies North Dakota’s ranching spirit and work ethic,” said NDSA President Jeff Schafer, a New Rockford, N.D., cow-calf producer and feeder. “They are deserving of this prestigious award. Congratulations, Haugen Ranch.”

Lars married Kirsti DAHL on 17 Mar 1915 in North Dakota. Kirsti (daughter of Endre N ROGN and Ingebjørg Larsdatter HEEN) was born on 24 Jul 1895 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 19 Jul 1991 in Watford, McKenzie County, North Dakota; was buried in Riverview Cemetery, Williston, Williams County, North Dakota.
