    Gunhild’s first stop after she came to the U.S. in 1886 or 1887 was her uncle Abraham’s home in Granite Falls. According to Evey, Gunhild first worked for a sheriff and his family in Granite Falls, a job in which she had to cook and keep house for the family which included 13 children. Later she decided to go to Aberdeen, South Dakota, to work for her aunt who had a hotel. It was on that train trip to Aberdeen that Gunhild met Erik Thompson, her future husband.

    Apparently that aunt was Marit’s sister Siri, judging by what Rose said of that aunt, as recounted by Evey, “She had a big family, that aunt. Ma (Gunhild) had a picture of two strappin’ nice young men, you know, with stove-pipe hats on. And their names were Erick and Edvard, I think. That aunt came to Minneapolis later. Well, anyway, they lived in Aberdeen….”

    Julia and Erick paid for the immigration of Julia’s sister Anne Marie in 1904.

    Alison’s site has a copy of Julia’s obit from the Farmington Tribune, April 3, 1942:

    Mrs. E. A. Thompson of Minneapolis died of pneumonia at the Swedish Hospital after an illness of 2 days.

    Funeral services were held from Billman’s undertaking parlors, 2121 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, and at the West Christiania Lutheran Church with interment in the adjoining cemetery. Rev. Wm. L. Peterson officiciating. Mrs. Orville Myron sang two songs, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Peterson.

    The pallbearers were Edwin, Arthur, and Oscar Ellingboe, Clarence Campion, and Lloyed Luckman, grandsons of the deceased, and Clarence Tonsager, a nephew.

    Gunhild (Julie) Digen was born in Hedalen, Norway, on January 2, 1868, and died at the age of 74 years, 2 months, and 17 days. She came to United States in 1886, to Granite Falls, and from there she went to Aberdeen, South Dakota, where she was married to Erick A. Thompson of Scott County, Minnesota, February 27, 1889.

    from Eric Digene
    Hedalen in Valdres
    November 28, 1932
    Dear Sister Anna and family
    Thank you for the letter I received yesterday evening. According to it our dear sister Siri has passed away. how strange it is in this world, how short our lifetime is, and how important it is for us all to grasp eternal life. Then death can come. When it greats us we fear not but but continue our life in the eternal dwelling that Jesus our crucified and ressurected Savior has made possible for us up in heaven. Praise be his holy name!!!
    Mother has been very sick this last year. She has not been down all the time, but up now and then. she has a large amount of heart failure so death can occur at any time. Mother has a strong conviction about resting on the Sabath which is for those who believe in His life and know our hope for forgiveness is in Christ Jesus. He was crucified, died and was buried for us. In order to live with him we must believe.
    With us here in Digene all is normal. We are all healthy at this date. Andreas is going to the pastor this winter. so there is just Melvin of my children who is not confirmed. Thanks for the confirmation picture of Della. How pretty she is now. I will send Einar's confirmation picture at Christmas. Einar is a head taller than me. You asked in your last letter about Anton Flaten. He is still a widower and spends a lot of time with his children. He operates a country store.
    In your letter you mention Siri's house in town. You must explain a little about how large it is and the rules and regulations for selling it. A person who is always looking after ones own needs will not seek out a legal settlement of an estate, but will try to arrange a deal without any legal authority. Write soon again about this.
    Thousands of greetings and Merry Christmas from us all.
    Your brother Eric
    PS - Great Sigird and her family for us. Hope she writes at Christmas. Live Well!


    from Eric Digene
    Hedalen in Valdres
    July 5, 1938
    My dear sisters and families!
    Thanks for the letter I got from from Anna a while ago when I found out that you, Sigrid, have become so sick that you must stay in bed. Yes, that is sad to hear, but we people must (nok boie) us for that we are subjected to. With sin comes grief and sickness and death according to our catechism instruction. In former times, before death and the grave, it was not so. It is written: And He (Jesus) shall wipe away tear of your sorrow and death shall be no more, neither grief, neither wailing, neither pain shall be more. The first thing is our Book. (Quotes from Hebrews 21,4 and Aab. 21,23)
    After these lines were written I got your letter, Anna, and was so distressed that this letter did not reach my dear sister, Sigrid, while she was living. but I have remembered her each day in my prayers, so I believe and hope that Sigrid received the forgiveness of her sins in the lambs blood and now is home with our dear Savior who shall wipe away every tear of your grief. He has saved us. (I'm sorry the letter is so sloppily written. I've had so little time to write.)
    Here in Digene everything is normal. we are working with a large number of patients (20) doing farm labor. Three years ago we bought the Nerby forest and land belonging to Oisterholmen for 24000 kroner. So now we have the largest farm in Hedalen. So you understand that we are not out of work. My health is poor. I'm nearly always well. It is my digestion which is causing problems. It constantly aches when I eat. My oldest son Einar is now 23 and has begun working at the Dikemark asilym as a nurse. Andreas is 20 and runs the telephone switchboard for the community. Melvin will be 14 in the fall and will be confirmed in the summer of 1939. He is the last of our children. Yes, it is amazing in this world how children grow up and we adults go back towards the grave. Lucky are those who have confessed their faith in the Savior Jesus and have a strong belief in His coming. In order to be where He is, people have not lived their lives in vain.
    Send this letter to your dear brother-in-law and to all their dear children whom I have never met. Let them all read this letter from their oncle and when they have all read it let Anna have it back. May your gracious God bless all of you in your grief over my dear sister's passing away. May God be with us all. His mercy is now with her and her relatives who are now in Jesus' house, meeting again with her as she has now traveled from us.
    Heartily greetings from all of us to all of you.

    Notes:

    From notes on Anne Marie Digene on the Johnson website.

    (As told by Elna Johnson, Fall, 2000) Anne Marie Digene came from Norway with a cousin ( no name known) and traveled to Minnesota to stay with an older sister, Gunhild/Julia in 1903/04. Her father drove her from Hedalen to Oslo with a horse cart. She was just 18 when she came, and pretty adventurous. She came through Castle Garden, where she was checked out for diseases (a story she told for years). She was sponsored by sister Julia. She came to Ellensburg, Washington, and stayed at the Eidal farm. She met her husband-to-be, John David, at Sarah Digene Wold's in their two story house, which is torn down now. She had never seen her sister Sarah (Siri) Digene Belgum Wold, who was 21 years older than her, until she came to the US. Anne's father's brother was the first to come...and that was how Sarah came. Sarah did not move to Ellensburg until after her first husband Belgum died. Anne worked at various jobs around Ellensburg when she first came. (Chris Eidal and Charlie Anderson were friends in Roslyn, And when Anne and John David Johnson were married, they lived and worked at Charlie Anderson's. Later they were sold the 12 acres that is still in the family today, and where Elna, Della, Charlie, and Melvin grew up. The 12 acres was "on the wrong side of the track" for the Anderson farm...
