Clara WEFLEN

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 29 Jun 1884, Minnesota

Notes:

A different Clara Emilia Weflen was born 22 Oct 1885 in Kandiyohi County to Ole Weflen and his wife Ragnhild. That child was baptized at West Norway Lake Lutheran on 17 Nov 1885.

She is listed in the 1895 state census as still living with her father, step-mother, and siblings in Renville County.

She is not listed with her father and step-mother in the 1900 census although Annie and Gustav are. Neither she nor her sister Annie were living with her father and step-mother in the 1905 state census.

Her daughter is shown as the adopted daughter of Knute and Annie Odegaard in the 1910 census.

Baptism:
Our Savior’s in Sacred Heart

Clara married Albert Charles COLTMAN on 5 Oct 1907 in Fergus Falls, Otter Tail County, Minnesota. Albert was born about 1883. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Minnesota Birth Certificate: 1908-18954
• Confirmation: 9 Jul 1922, Crosby, Divide County, North Dakota

Notes:

Her name on her birth certificate is Marie Clara Atthea Coltman, mother’s maiden name Weflen, so it’s not clear which of the two sisters, Annie or Clara, was her mother. We’re assuming here that Marie Clara’s mother was Clara and that she was later adopted by the Odegards. The Odegard Family Tree agrees with this assumption.

In the 1910 census, she is shown with Knute and Annie as an adopted daughter.

Confirmation:
as Marie Clara Odegard at Concordia Lutheran

Family/Spouse: Peter MALNAA. Peter died in 1966 in Orange County, California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
