Johannes Pedersen HAGA

Notes:

Or farm (surname) Hallem.

He was not on Hage (either east or west) at the time of the 1801 Norwegian census. He was probably the 26 year-old Johannes Pederssen, unmarried, corporal and dragonerne, on Hallem Nedre in that census.

According to Nina:

For Johannes Pedersen according to the Verdalsboka:

(1779-1841)

He was born at Ner-Hallem (Lower Hallem farm).

He bought Eklesøya (under Rosvoll) from the widow Katarina Rebekka Lyng for 623 rbdl. Deed provided 01.06.1814. He sold it after a year to Thomas Johnsen for 2666 rbdl. 2 ort and 16 skilling, so Johannes Pedersen seems to understand earning money.
 
Under Sør-Lennes:

He married widow Berit Pedersdatter Ner-Fåra in 1803. They had 2 children together. She died in 1829 at Haga. He remarried widow Guru Olsdatter at Sør-Lennes, and thereby took over that farm. He had done a lot of farming: he owned Hallem for awhile, then Kvammet twice, Haga , Eklesøia until he bought both the Lennesfarms. He ran Nord-Lennes as a sub-farm until he died in 1841. He also worked as a kvartermester (chief petty officer, no idea what that is), forlikskommisær (arbitration commissary) and church warden.

The river caused a lot of damage to the Lennes-farms’ fields. 10mål farmland was lost during the last 8 years.

After he died Guru ran the farm until 1850, and then sold the farm to Johan Gregorius Knipenberg.

She is the Grethe Haga, age 18, from Norway and headed to Minnesota, who arrived in Boston on 19 Jun 1892 aboard the Cephalonia. She had left Trondheim, as the 18 year-old Grethe Haga, on June 1st aboard the feeder ship Juno. She gave Boston, Massachusetts, as her destination.

She married her 2nd cousin.

She is Mrs. Gertie M. Bye in the 1905 state census. She had been in Minnesota for 13 years.

Although John is shown as a widower in the 1910 census (although not in the 1920 census), this is incorrect. Gertie spent her last years (perhaps her last 15-17 years) as an inmate in the county insane asylum. A Gertie Bye, age 37 and married, was in the Fergus Falls State Hospital at the time of the 1910 census. A Gertie Bye, age 46 and married, was in the Fergus Falls State Hospital for the Insane in the 1920 census.

She died of pneumonia brought on by septic tonsilitis. The hospital records showed her parents were Mekal Hoga and Gurena Johnson.
