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.-

Ole married Gjertrud Vilhjølmsdatter BAGGETUN on 15 Jun 1809 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Gjertrud (daughter of Vilhjølm Vilhjølmsen BAGGETUN and Maren Ovesdatter STEILE) was born on 17 Oct 1790 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 12 May 1830 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [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:

Jim Ellingboe puzzled: What happened to her illegitimate son Niels? Why was she listed in the church book at time of Niel's birth with surname Ellingbøe if she was from Nordland/Lerohl? Was she working on the Ellingbø farm?

She was also shown as Berit Andersdatter Ellingböe on her marriage record in the church book.

Notes:

Jim’s Valdres Slekt calls hime Ola Andrisson Dalåker, #I21577. His father was Andris Olsen Leirol, his mother was Ingebjørg Olsdatter Dalåker.

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.

In the 1880 census, he would seem to be the 59 year-old Ole Anderson living in Udolpho Twp, Mower County, Minnesota.

her obituary from the Dodge, Nebraska paper:

Mrs. Anna Rumery died at her home, one and a half miles north west of Dodge, last Thursday, January 28, 1915 at the age of 73 years, 3 weeks and 1 day.

She was born in the north part of Norway January 5, 1842, and came to America with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ellingboe, when ten years of age. They lived in Wisconsin till 1869, when they came to Nebraska and homesteaded the place where she died. Her husband died some years ago.

Grandma Rumery had been making her home with her son Henry and daughter Mrs. Cora Snyder, on the old home farm since her husband’s death. She had been sick a good deal of the winter, but apparently was better until a few days before the end.

She leaves six sons and two daughters, Ferd [Ferdinand], Matthies [Matthias], Henry, Mrs. Cora Snyder, Frank, Anton [named after Jacob Rumery’s father], Mrs. Paul Kraft and John A.

The funeral was held Saturday at St. Joseph’s church and burial took place in St. Joseph’s cemetery.

The family has the sincere sympathy of all in their bereavement. Mother has passed away and her place can never be filled. Although all the children are grown and scattered, the love for mother is never stilled, and visits to the old homestead are not what they were when mother was there.

In the 1915 Rochester, Minnesota, city directory, he may be the Arthur G Ellingboe, telephone operator for the C G W R R, boarding at 13 N Central.

From D M Scott’s contribution to Find A Grave:

BEN KNUDTSON FROZEN TO DEATH

The Christmas festivities of our neighboring town of Carpenter were sadly broken into by the tragic death of one of her citizens, Mr. Ben Knudtson, who died about noon from the effects of having spent the night out - lying beside the railroad track in that awful cold.

Mr. Knudtson came back from Lyle on the 8:20 train Christmas Eve. He had not been up to Lyle to buy either hardware or dry goods, but had already celebrated too much for his own good. When he got off the train he started for his home, which was about a mile northwest of Carpenter; but instead of going around the road, he started cross lots intending to go north on the railroad till he crossed the bridge, then take a path through the woods for home. He only got across the bridge when he fell and rolled down the high embankment, striking on a lot of rocks which lay at the bottom. It is quite evident that he was considerably injured by the fall or he could have managed to have gotten up and out of there. But there he lay during all that bitter, cold night.

At about eleven o'clock Knudtson's son, Ed, about 17 years of age, in company with Ed Edwarson, a boy of about his own age crossed the bridge and heard someone calling to them to hold on but they thought it was a tramp trying to waylay them and they ran as fast as their legs could carry them, and went over to Gilbert Severson's close by and stayed all night. The next morning Severson and Edwards went back to the bridge and, alas, there lay Knudtson, not dead but pretty near it, though he was still conscious and in fact, remained so until just before he died.

They took him home and immediately called Dr. Culmsee. The doctor arrived there about eleven o'clock, but alas he was beyond the reach of medical aid. His injuries were too severe to be helped and he died within an hour. His hands, face and legs were frozen terribly, and he was suffering from internal injuries, evidently caused by falling down the embankment.

The funeral was held on Saturday, conducted at the Deer Creek N. L. Church by Reverend J. Olsen.

It was just eight years ago to a day, that his brother, Theo, came to an untimely death in the same woods, and not a mile from the same place.
