Jim’s notes:

Thomas was a teacher in Hamar in 1859.

He emigrated in the spring of 1870, crossing the North Sea on the feeder ship Scotia and then crossed the Atlantic on the Anglia. He arrived in Northfield on 7 May 1870. He stayed in Goodhue County until September and then moved to Dakota County.

Han var "skrivar" for senator Knute Nelson. De bodde i Minneapolis. De hadde barna: Ingeborg Marie, Clara (ugift) og Carie gift med guvernøren i Nord Dakota, Normann Brunsdale.

I boka "Fever Saga" av Robert Lloyd Lee" om Opdalsslekten står det om Trond Helgesen Opdal: Berit was not only concerned about feeding and clothing the bodies of her children. She was an unusual woman for her day as her father had allowed her to learn to read and write. And now she wanted the same for her sons and daughters. She taught them as much as she could by herself. And then she was able to secure a travelling teacher named Tomas Lajord to come and spend a few weeks at the farm and serve as tutor. He was a bright and pleasant young man, and the children enjoyed having him in the home. It was not all work with him, either, unlike some teachers, for he took time to play with his pupils, too. Sometimes the antics of the younger ones even brought a smile to Berit's face. A special concern at this time was to prepare Trond for confirmation. Pastor Konow was a stern taskmaster, and it was his custom to come up from Vang and visit each farm where there were young people. Then he would examine them one by one, and all were required to know the answers from Pontoppidan's catechism by heart. Tomas drilled Trond with the questions and answers over and over. And the pastor was satisfied with the results when he visited the Opdal farm. "Trond is ready for confirmation."

"Valdres Samband expanded its stevne to two days in 1903, arranging the gjestebø for the evening of Saturday, September 5, and then continuing with the regular open-air reunion the following day. Thomas Lajord was at this time removed from any position of influence in Samband, a shift in leadership due mainly to a developing antagonism between him and the other leaders of the society."

He was the first president of the Valdres Samband. It was his letter in the “Nordvesten” in February of 1899 that called the Valdris people in the Twin Cities to assemble of a spring stevne.

From the History of Steele & Waseca Counties, 1887, cited in the Dalby Database:

Thomas Lajord is a native of Norway, born February 26, 1842. He was educated for a teacher, and being a Lutheran, was confirmed at Hamarstiff in 1857, and that year attended school to complete his education for his life work as teacher. He began his career in his native land January 10, 1859, and followed teaching there until April 4, 1870, when he immigrated to America and landed at New York. Ten days after his arrival he came to Goodhue County, this State, and from there to Dakota County, where he occupied his time in teaching until 1875, when he came to this county and purchased forty acres of land on section 12, New Richland Township, where he still resides. He held the position of teacher and choir leader in the church here until 1885, when some of the members thinking that he was too outspoken in his manner in regard to his views as to the way Christian people should live, and dissensions creeping into the church, he resigned his stewardship. June 26, 1869, Thomas Lajord and Maren Kattvold were united in marriage, and they have been the parents of four children: Thorstein, born October 27, 1876; Ingeborg, June 6, 1879; Clara, July 8, 1882, and Hannah, March 3, 1887. Mrs. Lajord is a native of Norway, born December 24, 1850, and with her husband is a consistent member of the Lutheran Church. Mr. Lajord was the doorkeeper in the Legislature at the session of 1887. He is an upright Christian and a worthy citizen.

Notes:

He is Jon Simensen Kattevold, I1962, in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s extensive notes on him in VS:

Han var gårdsgutt på Kattevold før han dro til USA Dette må være Vangs største rundbrenner på den tiden. Han fikk minst 10 barn med seks forskjellige jenter, før han giftet seg med en av dem i 1865. I USA kalte han seg John Simmons (etter farens navn Simen).

I bladet ".................." fra 1865,(se faksimile), står det etter min omsetting: "En norsk Don Juan! Under en straffesak mot den 37 år gamle Jon Simonsen Kattevold, som er inderst i Vang prestegjeld, blir det opplyst at han har fått 10 uekte barn med 6 forskjellige piker. Under forhøret forklarte tiltalte at pikene, "meget ofte kom til Kattevold , både om dagen og om aftenen for å fa fatt i ham". De trakterte han ofte med brennevin og lokket ham deretter til å ha legemlig omgang med dem. Når disse piker har kommet til Kattevold samtidig, har det ofte hendt at de har kommet i klammeri og slagsmål seg i mellom om førsteretten til ham. Da tiltalte har et godt utseende og til og med er flink til å danse og har lett for å omgås "fruentimmer" har det vært nesten umulig for ham å klare å stå imot så mange forelskede piker. Lagrette erklærte at den var fullkomment bekjent med at tiltaltes forklaring var riktig. Tiltale, som tidligere var straffet fordi han hadde avlet 4 uekte barn, erklærte straks at det var hans hensikt å ekte den siste av hans elskerinner og han fikk også utsatt rettsaken en tid slik at han skulle få mulighet til å fullbyrde ekteskapet . Da rettet ble satt på nytt erklærte han at det fortsatt var hans hensikt å gifte seg, men han hadde kommet til at han først ville sone den straff han måtte bli dømt til. (Selv om retten hadde stor forståelse for at han var blitt fristet over evne , kom den likevel til at han måtte dømmes og han fikk 2 års straffearbeid for sin umoralske oppførsel, i rettsreferatet heter det videre): Etter at han ved Overretten var dømt til 2 års straffearbeid, ble det kjent at han hadde henvendt seg til soknepresten for å bli gift, men soknepresten var ikke villig til å vie ham før han hadde hørt "den Geistlige Overøvrighetsens" (Biskopens ) mening om saken. Presten hadde også forsøkt å overtale piken til ikke å gifte seg med Jon Simonsen Kattevold. Presten hadde forklart at om hun, i sin unge alder, ville kaste seg i denne ryggesløse mannens favn, da ville hun atskille seg enda me r fra sin Gud enn det som alt var skjedd. Pike hadde gråtende svart presten at hun heller ville lide den første straff enn den siste.

Etter at saken ble anken til høyesterett, la Jon Simensen Kattevold fram en attest som viste at ekteskapet var fullbyrdet. Etter lovens ord ble tiltalte der med fritatt for straff."

John Bruce Simmons skriver om ham: Born John Simonsen Kattevold. Born at Qvam, baptized at Vang on Dec. 23, 1826. Kattevold farm is near the town of Vang, Valdres, Norway. Emigrated with wife and four children in 1871. John Simonson Kuttevold [sic] became a naturalized citizen on March 16, 1886 (copy of Clerk of District Court's certification - dated Sept. 17, 1921). Purportedly, this was also the name used on the transfer of property to his son Nels. Gertrude and Anna were born before parents married. Vang baptismal records show the parents of all four children as John Simonsen Kattevold and Gjertrud Nilsdatter Myhre. For the girls John is listed as a bachelor and Gjertrud was listed as a maiden.

The records further list the births as her first and second "indiscretions". However, They are shown as John's eighth and tenth!

However, by 1886 the family had anglicized the name to Simons. Two books in the possession of Ruth (Simmons) Schroeder bear inscriptions by his son:

American Educational Reader - "John J. Simons Northwood, Iowa Oct. 2, 1886"

Thompson's Teacher's Examiner (copywrite 1886) - "Christmas present from uncle G. N. Troe John J Simons Silver Lake Worth, Iowa 1888" Interestingly, on the same page the book has been stamped five times with the rubber stamp "John J Simmons".

My feeling is that the second "m" was added to shorten the "i" and make the name conform more to the Norwegian pronunciation of Simon.

Ruth Schroeder has three earlier books, which suggest an intermediate step in the Americanization of the family name:

A history book (copy write 1857) has the written names "Anna Johnson" and "John Johnson"

An arithmetic book has "Nels Johnson' written in it.

A reader is inscribed "Nels Johnson" and "John Johnson".

Note that Anna uses Johnson as opposed to "datter". Family tradition holds that both John and Nels had no middle name and took a middle initial to be more American. I submit now that the initial "J" is for Johnson. Compare to Knut N. and Nel s N. Troe, whose father was Nils. The arithmetic book mentioned above also contains the name O. T. Nelson Troe and may a hand-me-down from a cousin.

His and Gjertrud's tombstone bears the inscription "GRAV IKKE HAN HVILER - HAN ER IKKE DOD MEN SOVER" Roughly, He reposes not (in the) grave. He is not dead, but sleeping." Bildet er av Jon, Gjertrud Nilsdtr og barna deres.

According to Trudy, he was “a Norse Don Juan.” Had at least 12 children with 5 different women, at least three of whom he was not married to.

Finally married Gjartrud Nilsdatter Myre. The couple and their four children emigrated to the U.S. in about 1870 and took the name Simmons.

Fresno, California - Ione Lucille Jacoby was born in Greenbush, MN, to Torger and Selma Dalager and passed away January 14, 2021 after a brief illness.

Ione grew up on a farm in northern Minnesota, going to school in a one room schoolhouse, and helping in the fields including the picking of the rocks "crop". Ione was very close to her four sisters and brother, who all said she was a gentle, forgiving, nonjudgmental soul, very much like their mother. Ione left the farm and married a Navy man and had her two boys. When Harold left the family she moved to Fresno in 1968 and went to work as a nurse's aide at Saint Agnes Hospital for over 30 years, first on Fruit then Herndon Ave. She raised her boys with much love, not questioning her life circumstances, but showing responsibility and doing the right thing.

Ione married Gene Jacoby in 1976 and moved to a little house on Thorne. Ione loved being with her six grandkids and two great grandkids and they loved just being around Grandma. Ione did not have a large group of friends, just very good ones who meant a lot to her.

Ione is survived by her son Gary and wife Kim, son Scott and wife Karen, grandchildren Trevor, Tyler, Jenna, Austin and wife Paige, Alex, Lauren, great-grandchildren Brooklyn and Mason, sisters Eunice, Verjean, Lavonne, brother Arlan. Her husband Gene and sister Shirley predeceased her.
