Notes:

He is Ola Olsen (Qvale) KVAM, I2236, in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s extensive notes:

Han satt på Stortinget fra 1821-24. Da han kom tilbake fra Stortinget gikk han av som lensmann. Han overtok lensmannsembetet etter Ola Edsvold. Først var han kontorist hos Edsvold. Det ble sagt at han var synsk og kunne følge med på hva de drev med på gårdene, mens han satt på Stortinget. Mange sa han hadde svarte -boka og kunne bruke den når det var behov for det. Sannheten er vel at han brukte mye tid på å snakke med folk fra Vang som var innom Kristiania.

Han var også forlikskommissær. Det er sagt at han er en av de beste mennene som har kommet fra Vang. Han kjøpte Kvåle 38/1 i 1811 for 4000 spd. Han var meget velstående, og da Andris Olsen i Uppigarden 38/3 ikke klarte å betale gjelda, kjøpte Ola Kvam også 38/3 i 1825 for 800 SPD. Ove B Wangensteen (Stele) mente det var merkelig at bare lensmann Qvam ga bud (TVHI) s 73, og Qvam torde heller ikke høste gården det første året, slik at avlingen ble liggende. I noen år ble 38/1 og 38/3 (uppigarden) brukt som en gård, men da Ola Qvam døde i 1832, ble gårdene delt mellom sønnene Ola og Ove Vilhjøm igjen.

De hadde også datteren Maren (Qvåle) Kvåle (1813- ) som ble gift til Mo i VS

Ove B Stele (Wangensteen) skriver om ham: Ole Olsen Qvam. Han var født på gården Leirhol 1778 (døpt 27 decbr.) av forældrene Ole Kristofersen og Berit Torstensdater. Hans far, Ole Kristofersen Leirhol hadde været gift to gange. Med sin første hustru hadde han 3 sønner: Ole, Anders og Tosten samt dattere n Anne. Ole Kristofersen døde i 1793. Det blev efter ham et meget vidtløftig skifte, som varte fra 1793-1797, i hvilken tid flere underrets og overretsdomme blev avsagt mellem enken og stedsønnen. Enken blev dømt til at ophøre med gaardens bru k og overlate arvetomten til stedsønnen, som den rette oldels- og åsædesberettigede. Enden blev at hun fik sin betydelige arv optællet - blev gift med gårdbruker John Kvam og flyttet dit med sine barn. Hennes søn Ole, var da i 14 års-alderen. Ha n blev kontorist hos Eidsvold og efter dennes død i 1809 blev han lensmand i Vang. Han blev også stortingsmand i 1821, 1822 og 1824. Medlem av riksretten mot Wedel Jarlsberg, men blev utskutt av riksretten mot Fasting. Til litt forstårelse av datidens forhold, skal her gjengives en diætregning, der er sævlydende: „For at bli lensmand og stortingsmand Qvam communisert meddeles fogderiets tjenstligst herved at med kgl. finans- handels- og tolddepartement skrivelse av 12. febr. har man mottat lensmand O. Qvams regning med dertil hørende bilag over hans tilkom mende i anledning av hans møte som repræsentant ved sidstavholdene storting og medlem av riksretten. Regningen er saalydende: a) For diæt til ham selv fra 20 januar 1821 til 24 juni 1822 som er 521 dage à 2 spd. Er 1032 spd. herfra avkortet for 2 dage 4 spd. Igjen 1038 spd. b) For underholdning til en leietjener i den tid stortinget varte og likeså underholdning til en tjener i den tid riksretten varte, samt godtgjørelse for veitur, skuds- godtgjørelse og medikamenter til en læge, tilsammen 422 spd. Alt i alt 1460 spd. Lensmand O. Qvam blev gift med Gjertrud Vilhelmsdatter Baggethun, - en ætlihg av Wangenstenslegten på Steile - kjøpte gården. Kvale og bodde dersteds med sin familie 3 sønner og 2 døtre. Imidlertid var eieren av øvre Kvale - Uppågar'n kaldet- - kommen i stor gjæld til lensmand Qvam samt til en låndeindretning i Kristiania, og følgen blev tilslut den, at „Uppågar'n" blev drevet til auktion inde i hovedstaden og Qvam var den enest e som „gjorde bud" og fik tilslaget. Tilslaget måtte allikevel være „noget løst" for lensmanden turde det første år ikke avhøste gårdens avling, der med rub og stub blev liggende under sneen den ganske vinter. Lensmand O. Qvams ældste søn, Ole, fik farsgården som arv, blev gift med lensmand Lars Wangenstens yngste datter Ingelef, som bragte en medgift på 1500 spd. (6000 kr.) i den tid en meget stor formue. Tiltrods for disse to sammenblandede rikdomme, blev det dog tilsidst temmelig småt med hensyn til Ole og Ingelev Kvales økonomi. Det var ligesom alt de hadde under hænder, gik som „dug for sol". Den næstældste søn, Ove, fik „Uppågar'n" og blev gift m4d en av bygdens fornemste jenter - fra Remme. Den yngste søn, Vilhelm, blev svært „gla i et glas" og forødte på kort tid sin betydelige arv og stod tilslut som veitegraver og daglønner på sin fars gods. Blandt andre merker, som lensmand Qvam eferlot sig, er utbytning av bjørkeskogen på H e l l e s t r a n d . Skogen dersteds var brukt som fælleseie, men blev i lensmand Qvams tid delt mellem lodeierne således, at mitre Kvale - lensmandsgårde n - fik en uforholdsmæssig stor andel. Og det er sagt, at det ikke var så greit at motsætte sig lendsmandens intersser i den gode gamle tid. - Men med hensyn til slike „job" som det hernævnte, var lensmand Qvam ikke alene om at gjennemføre, Lensmand Lars Wangensten fik skogen i den nordlige del av S k a k e d a l e n utbyttet på lignende måte, idet øvre Steile - lensmandsgården - fi k nærsagt alt, nedre Steile fik noget litet og Bergegårdene fik nær sagt ingenting. Ole Qvam døde 25. november 1832.-

As translated by Google:

He sat in the Storting from 1821-24. When he returned from the Storting, he resigned as sheriff. He took over the post of sheriff after Ola Edsvold. At first he was a clerk at Edsvold. It was said that he was psychic and could follow what they were doing on the farms, while he sat in Parliament. Many said he had the black book and could use it when needed. The truth is that he spent a lot of time talking to people from Vang who visited Kristiania.

He was also a Conciliation Commissioner. It is said that he is one of the best men to come from Vang. He bought Kvåle 38/1 in 1811 for 4,000 spd. He was very wealthy, and when Andris Olsen in Uppigarden 38/3 was unable to pay the debt, Ola Kvam also bought 38/3 in 1825 for 800 SPD. Ove B Wangensteen (Stele) thought it was strange that only Sheriff Qvam made a bid (TVHI) p 73, and Qvam did not dare to harvest the farm in the first year either, so that the crop was left lying around. For a few years, 38/1 and 38/3 (the upper garden) were used as a farm, but when Ola Qvam died in 1832, the farms were divided between the sons Ola and Ove Vilhjøm again.

They also had a daughter Maren (Qvåle) Kvåle (1813- ) who was married to Mo in VS

Ove B Stele (Wangensteen) writes about him: Ole Olsen Qvam. He was born on the Leirhol farm in 1778 (baptised 27 December) to parents Ole Kristofersen and Berit Torstensdater. His father, Ole Kristofersen Leirhol, had been married twice. With his first wife, he had 3 sons: Ole, Anders and Tosten and daughters Anne. Ole Kristofersen died in 1793. After him, there was a very far-reaching shift, which lasted from 1793-1797, during which time several lower court and upper court judgments were handed down between the widow and the stepson. The widow was sentenced to cease the use of the farm and leave the inheritance to the stepson, as the rightful heir and heir. The end result was that she had her considerable inheritance counted - married farmer John Kvam and moved there with her children. Her son Ole was then 14 years old. He became a clerk at Eidsvold and after his death in 1809 he became sheriff in Vang. He also became a Member of Parliament in 1821, 1822 and 1824. Member of the impeachment trial against Wedel Jarlsberg, but was postponed by the impeachment trial against Fasting. For a little understanding of the conditions at the time, a diet account will be reproduced here, which reads as follows: "In order to become sheriff and member of the Storting Qvam communisert, the bailiff's official is hereby notified that with the Royal Ministry of Finance, Trade and Customs' letter of 12 Feb. has one received Sheriff O. Qvam's bill with the accompanying vouchers for his accruals on the occasion of his meeting as a representative at the last session of the Storting and a member of the Supreme Court. The bill is as follows: a) For diet for himself from 20 January 1821 to 24 June 1822, which is 521 days at 2 spd. Is 1032 spd. from here truncated for 2 days 4 spd. Again 1038 spd. b) For entertainment for a hired servant during the time the Storting lasted and likewise entertainment for a servant during the time the impeachment lasted, as well as allowance for travel, shot allowance and medication for a doctor, a total of 422 spd. All in all 1460 spd. Lensmand O. Qvam was married to Gjertrud Vilhelmsdatter Baggethun, - a descendant of Wangenstenslegten on Steile - bought the farm. Kvale and lived there with his family 3 sons and 2 daughters. However, the owner of upper Kvale - Uppågar'n kalvet- - was heavily in debt to sheriff Qvam as well as to a loan institution in Kristiania, and the result was that "Uppågar'n" was auctioned inside the capital and Qvam was the only e who "made a bid" and got the contract. The grant had to be "somewhat loose" because the first year the sheriff did not dare to harvest the farm's crop, which with stubble and stubble remained under the snow during the winter. Sheriff O. Qvam's eldest son, Ole, inherited his father's farm, married the Lars Wangensten's youngest daughter Ingelef, who brought a dowry of 1,500 spd (NOK 6,000) at the time, a very large fortune. Despite these two combined riches, in the end, however, it was rather small with regard to Ole and Ingelev Kvale's finances. was like everything they had under their hands, went as "good for the sun". The second-oldest son, Ove, got the "Uppågar'n" and was married to one of the village's most distinguished girls - from Remme. The youngest son, Vilhelm, became very "glazed in a glass" and in a short time destroyed his considerable inheritance and ended up as a wheat digger and daily wage earner on his father's estate. Among other measures, which Sheriff Qvam mentioned, is exploitation of the birch forest on Hellestrand . The forest there was used as common property, but in Sheriff Qvam's time was divided between the landowners in such a way that Mitre Kvale - sheriff's farm - got a disproportionately large share. And it has been said that it was not so good to oppose the interests of the countryman in the good old days. - But with regard to such "jobs" as the one mentioned above, sheriff Qvam was not alone in carrying out, sheriff Lars Wangensten got the forest in the northern part of the Skakedalen exploited in a similar way, as the upper Steile - the sheriff's farm - got almost everything, Lower Steile got little and Bergegårdene almost nothing. Ole Qvam died on 25 November 1832.-

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The bygdebok, p. 840, calls him Andris Olsson S. Kvam (1791-1838).

He is probably a son of Ola Kristofferson Lerohl (1737-1793) and Berit Torsteinsdatter Skjel Leirol (1755-1835), a union mentioned on p. 885 of the bygdebok. That “probably” is what is assumed here. In the 1801 census, Berit is living on Qvam with her 2nd husband, Jon Ovesson Kvam. Included in their household is a nine year-old Andris Olsen listed as her son.

Jim’s VS agrees with Andris being a son of Ola and Berit. In Jim’s VS, Andris is Andris Olsen Leirol, #I57. Jim’s notes in VS: “Han kalles ofte Andris Olsen Kvam, fordi han vokste opp der sammen med moren og stefaren. Han ble gårbruker på Dalåker da han giftet seg med enken der i 1821. Andris ga bruk nr. 1 til stesønnen Nils Kristoffersen i 1832 og flyttet til bruk 2, syg arden.”

Translation: He is often called Andris Olsen Kvam because he grew up there with his mother and stepfather. He became a farmer at Dalåker when he married the widow there in 1821. Andris gave house #1 to stepson Nils Kristoffersen in 1832 and moved to house #2.

He was called Anders Olsen something at the time of his marriage to Ingeborg. The surname in the marriage record is unclear but it’s not (yet) Dallager.

Notes:

From Groven and/or Steinsbakkadn on Qvien 96.

Soldier (musketér). He was a second son.

Referred to in some sources as Einar Halvorsen Groven Bonde.

Einar took a deed for 160 acres in Rice County, Minnesota, in March of 1855 and build a log house. He established the farm which would remain in his family until the present day.

From the book - HISTORY OF RICE COUNTY 1882:

WHEELING TOWNSHIP. EVER H. BONDE, deceased, was born in Norway, in December, 1800, and reared on a farm. He was united in marriage in 1835, with Miss Berret Bonde. They were blessed with five children, two of whom are living; Tosten and Halver. In 1849, Mr. Bonde emigrated to America, landed at Quebec and came directly to Wisconsin, settling in Port Washington, where he remained until the spring of 1854, then to Winnesheik county, Iowa, and from there to Rice county, where he took land. He improved the land and built a log house in which he lived until his death, which occurred in 1875. His wife died two years later, seventy-five years of age. Their oldest son, Tosten, was born in Norway, on the 12th of January, 1843, came to America with his parents and made his home with them. He was married in April, 1867, to Miss Ingebor Oleson. They have been blessed with seven children; Edward, who died the 5th of April, 1882, fourteen years and three months old; Thomas, who died in 1870, two years old; Thomas, Barnard, Oscar, who died on the 28th of March, 1882, five yearsof age; Annie, and Albert, who died on the 5th of April, 1882, one year old. Mr. Bonde now occupies the old homestead. In 1870, he built a barn 35x57 feet, and in 1875, he erected the stone house in which they now live. He has been elected to offices of trust in the town, and is Justice of the Peace at present. His brother, Halver, lives in Swift county.

His baptismal sponsors were: Ingebor Andersdatter Braathen, Ingelev (perhaps Ostens or Oves)datter Qvam, Lars Wangensteen, Jöger Andersen Qvam, and Torsten Torstensen Lajorde.

In the 1865 Norwegian census, he is probably the Ole Anderssen, age 45, husmand med jord, living on Klættene in Vang. His wife is the 73 year-old Guro Amfindsdatter. Jim calls her Guro Arnfinnsdatter Myreeiga (1793-1870). Earlier, Ole had been a farmer on Dalåker.

The bygdebok (Vang A, p. 840) implies that he stayed in Norway and, of the two Oles, Ole 2 is the one who came to the U.S.

In his entry under Mhyre (Vang A, p. 802), he was livaursmann under Dalåker and husmann on Klettadn.

Other Events and Attributes:

Vang B, p. 844.

Jim’s VS does not have this second Ole Andersen.

This second Ola was born 10 Nov 1827, bapt 26 Dec, in Vang to Anders Olsen Dalager and Ingeborg Olsdatter.

His baptismal sponsors were Maren Johnsdatter Quam, Ingeborg Knutsdatter Böe, (something) Sönderohl, Knud Söyne, and (something) Johannessen Sonderohl.

In the 1865 Norwegian census, he and Ingeborg and their four sons were on Dahlager 49. He was gaardbruker og selveier.

As Ole Andersen Dalager, he emigrated with his wife Ingeborg Amundsdatter and their five children in July of 1869.

In the 1880 census, he is Ole Dalagher Anderson, age 54, living with his family in Udolpho Twp, Mower County, Minnesota. Others in the household are his wife Isabel, 55, and their children Andrew, 26, Christopher, 20, Ole, 16, Betsy, 13, Antoine, 10, and Emma, 7. The two youngest children were born in Minnesota.

According to an obit from the Ward County Independent of Minot County (cited in Find A Grave, K. Pike), he died in Lansing, Minnesota. His sons were A.A. Dalager of Minot and Ole Dalager of Sawyer. “The decedent leaves also three other children.”

An 81 year-old Ole A. Dalager died in Mower County on 22 Nov 1906. His children were Ole of Renville (a different Ole), Andrew, Chris, and Ole of North Dakota, Ed. A. of Mower County, Anton, Mrs. Sam Kobes of Cathay, North Dakota, and Mrs. Bertha Jackson of St. James, Minnesota.

Other Events and Attributes:

• 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.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 26 Feb 1843, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

He became a successful farmer and community leader. He married Ingebor Haugen in 1867 and stayed on the Bonde farm all of his life. He built a much-admired stone house in 1875 and kept a journal, written in Norwegian.

Of his 11 children, seven survived to adulthood.


The Tosten E. Bonde Farmhouse, built of locally quarried limestone in 1875, is one of the oldest structures of its kind in Wheeling Township, Rice County. The Bonde family emigrated to Minnesota in 1849 and homesteaded land in 1855. The private home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

In 1849, Einer and Berit Bonde emigrated from Vang, Valdres, Norway, with their two sons, Tosten and Halvor. Berit’s daughter, Kari, from a previous marriage, and her husband, Thomas Veblen, had immigrated to the United States two years earlier in 1847. The Veblens were the parents of famed sociologist and economist Thorstein Veblen. According to family history, the Bondes “dreamed of following Kari’s footsteps to the new world.”

The Bonde family lived in Port Washington, Wisconsin, before moving to Winneshiek County, Iowa, in the spring of 1854. The following year, on June 9, the family settled on 160 acres in section 11 of Wheeling Township in Minnesota Territory. In 1866, the Veblens moved from Mount Vernon, Wisconsin, to a farm in Wheeling Township, Minnesota. The rural community of primarily Norwegian settler-colonists was composed of respected farmers and civic leaders, including Halvor Quie and Osmund Osmundson, founder of Nerstrand.

From 1855 to 1875, the family resided in a log home. In 1865, Tosten, who was described as a “very able young man,” purchased the farm from his father. His brother Halvor, a Civil War veteran, had settled in Swift County, Minnesota. Two years later, Tosten married Ingebor Hougen on April 3, 1867. They had eleven children, born between 1868 and 1887. Tosten’s family lived with his parents until the stone house was completed in the summer of 1875. His father, Einer, passed away on August 27, 1875, and Berit died on March 12, 1877.

In a diary started in 1888, Tosten Bonde noted the improvements to the farm site: a barn was added in 1870, the stone farmhouse in 1875, a machinery shed in 1883, a granary in 1886, and a milkhouse in 1887. The two-and-a-half-story, L-shaped farmhouse was built on a small rise and constructed of locally quarried limestone from the Nerstrand and Faribault area. Situated near a well-traveled highway approximately one mile from Nerstrand, the gabled farmhouse became a focal landmark in rural Rice County after its completion in 1875.

The farmstead, which is still owned by Bonde family descendants in 2020, is in many respects a “living” document to rural agricultural heritage and practices by a single family dating back to Minnesota’s territorial days. Tosten’s diary offers glimpses into late-nineteenth-century farm life with entries like: “The year, 1887, was very dry and the chinch bug destroyed all the wheat and part of the oats. The hay crop was very short.” In his entry for April 12, 1891, he wrote: “Horses are sick from distemper.” The family history noted that Oscar, a son, remarked they cured the horses by “burning rubbers and had the horses inhale the fumes.”

The family history also tells of tragedy within the farmhouse’s stone walls. When an epidemic of black measles occurred in late March and early April of 1882, three sons died in one week: Edward, who was fourteen, Ingebrit, who was six, and Albert, who was barely a year old, fell victim to the disease. According to family lore, when Ingebor worked in her garden, “she would look to Valley Grove Cemetery and long for her little ones buried there on the distant hill.”

In 1890, Tosten was elected to the Minnesota State Legislature; he was reelected the following year. By early 1895, he developed stomach cancer, and he passed away at his home on October 14, 1897. The fifty-four-year-old was survived by his wife and seven children. One obituary noted he was “a good citizen and highly esteemed and respected in the community.”

In February 1981, Britta Bloomberg’s submission for the Minnesota Historical Properties Inventory Form stated, “The Bonde Farmhouse is significant both for its association with a prominent immigrant family and for its notable limestone construction and outstanding integrity.” In April 1982, the private home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

From the Faribault Republican, Oct. 20, 1897, via Find A Grave:

Died at his home in the town of Wheeling on Thursday evening, last, Oct. 14, of cancer of the stomach, with which he had suffered for two and a half years. The funeral was held on Monday, with services conducted by Rev. N. A. Quammen, and the remains were buried in the cemetery connected with Valley Grove church. Mr. Bonde was born in Norway, Jan. 12th, 1843. In 1849 he came with his parents to America and first settled at Port Washington, Wis.; five years later removed to Winneshiek County, Iowa, and in 1855 came to Rice County and located on section no.11, in Wheeling, which has ever since been his home. April 3d, 1867, he married Miss Ingebor Haugen, who survives him, and to them were born eleven children, four of whom are dead, and seven are living; Thomas, Bernhard, Anna, Alfred, Oscar, Edward and Carl, all of whom are at home, except Thomas, who is in St. Paul. Mr. Bonde was a good citizen and highly esteemed and respected in the community in which he lived so long, and was honored by election to various offices in the town and as a representative in the legislature, in which he served during the session of 1891.

Died:

NELS IVERSON CALLED TO HIS MAKER, FRIDAY
Was First Settler in Martin Township; The First Home Was A Sod Cellar: Saw Many Hardships.
The Angel of Death made another visit to our community last week when it took from our midst, one of the earliest settlers in Martin Township, namely, Mr. Nels Iverson, who passed away on Friday afternoon, December 24th, at 2:45, at the advanced age of 81 years, 7 months, 26 days.
Mr. Iverson was born in Vang, Valders, Norway, April 28th 1846.He received common schooling in his native country and reaching manhood came alone to seek his fortune. After living for three years at Decorah, Iowa, he came to Minnesota, and worked for a time on a farm in Freeborn County.
To Mr. Iverson belongs the honor of being the first settler in Martin Township, coming here with his wife whose maiden name was Miss Rangde Olson Ellingboe and to whom he was united in marriage at St. Ansgar, Iowa, on July 16, 1868.
Mrs. Iverson made her home with John and Ole Steen for two weeks while her husband was building their first home in the west, a sod cellar. At the completion of the job the new home was given a real housewarming, as Mrs. Iverson came and moved in, and the same day Goodman Anderson, John Nelson, John Goldberg and Peter Skyberg came and spent the night with them.
This old homestead was filed on by Mr. Iverson on October 14, 1871, and the sod cellar was built in the spring of 1872.
This family was blest with twelve children, five preceding him in death.
The surviving children are Iver, Anna Jensen, Ole N. Mrs. John Larson, Mrs. Peter Severtson, Rudolph, and Mrs. Iver Wangeness, who together with their mother are left to mourn.
The direct cause of Mr. Iverson's death was a paralytic stroke, and old age, suffering his first stroke on December 13th.
Funeral services were held from the home at 1:00 on Tuesday afternoon and at Bethlehem Church at 2:00 O’clock, The Rev. Theo. Rodsater preaching both in the Norwegian and English languages. There was a big attendance of friends from far and near who had come to pay their last respects to one of our earliest settlers.
The Hills Glee club consisting of R. A. Johnson, J. M. Johnson, Andrew Rogness, Olaf Hagen, George Qualley, Arthur Rortvet, and Mrs. Olaf Hagen at the piano sang a beautiful song.
Grandpa Iverson was carried to his last resting place by six grandsons, Kenneth Iverson, Eugene Iverson, Lawrence Iverson, Earnest Iverson, Nels Jensen, and Arthur Anderson.
All the children were present at the funeral and relatives from a distance Mrs. Earls Charles of Omaha.
"Mr. Nels Iverson was an influential, good and kind man, and had held several offices of trust in the community, and will be missed by all who had the good fortune to know him."

From "THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND PIPESTONE COUNTIES", by Arthur P. Rose, published 1911, courtesy of Katherine:

NELS IVERSON (1846 - 1926) is one of Rock County's pioneers who suffered in the adverse times of the grasshopper scourge and other dire calamities of the early days, but he never lost hop and today enjoys the reward of persevering toil and has had many seasons of bountiful harvest.

He was born in Vang, Valders, Norway on April 28, 1845. His parents, Iver Olson and Anna (Myre) Sondral, were small farmers in the land of the Norse.

Mr. Iverson was educated in the common schools of his native country and in the first year of his manhood came alone to seek his fortune in the new world. A three years' residence in Decorah, Iowa was broken by an eight months' sojourn in the pineries of Wisconsin. He next came to Minnesota, the scene of his subsequent activities. He worked at farm labor in Freeborn County, was married there, and in 1871 joined the vanguard of Martin Township pioneers. He took as a homestead claim the southwest quarter of section 27, which has been his home from that day to this. Mr. Iverson was a faithful member of the township board for fourteen years and was a director of school district No. 6 for three years. He is a stockholder in the Farmers Mercantile Company of Hills, and in the co-operative creamery at that point. With his family he is a member of the Synod Norwegian Lutheran Church.

At St. Ansgar, Iowa, on July 16, 1868 Nels Iverson was married to Rangde Olson Ellingbo. She was born November 4, 1849, and is the daughter of Ole and Engebor (Anderson) Ellingbo, both deceased. To this union were born twelve children, including two pair of twins, and of the family seven are still living.
