Vi veit berre om ein brukar eller husmann der. "Tømmes på Stormarken". Han var vanskapt i føtene, mest som "hestefota". Han var skomaker og hadde ei merr han kalla "Syrakssokkføtsla". Han var bor til brukaren i Sygrare. Det gikk et rykte om at det var han som hadde retten til Hålien 109/1, men det er feil. han hadde berre ei ku da han begynte som husmann. Han var gift med Berit Andrisdatter Røvang (1819- ). Ho skulle vere uvanleg lat, og ei av gjentene der skulle ha sagt: "Mø kinne ikkje mø. Me like best rumme".

Both Ole Aslaksons were baptismal sponsors for Marit Ovesdatter (#258).

From Ove Ovesen’s letter to his mother in January of 1896, it appears that this older of the two Oles had died in 1894 or 1895 and that he had married but had no children. It also can be inferred from Ove Ovesen’s letter that this older of the two Oles died in Minnesota because it seems as if Ove had visited his house.

The 1880-1881 Minneapolis city directory shows an O.A. Kvam, watch mkr. for A Evanson & Co. boarding at the Victoria Hotel.

The 1881-1882 Minneapolis city directory shows an O.A. Kvam, watchmkr. for W.C. Leber, boarding at 203 N. 2d Ave.

The 1882-1883 Minneapolis city directory shows an O.A. Kvam, watchmaker for W.C. Leber, residing at 207 N 3rd Ave.

The 1883-1884 Minneapolis city directory shows an O.A. Kvam, “with W C Leber,” residing at 913 North Washington Ave.

The 1885 and 1885-1886 Minneapolis city directories show an Ole A. Kvam, a watchmaker employed by W C Leber, residing at 112 S 3rd Ave.

MOMS shows an Ole Kvan marrying a K Paulseth in Hennepin County on 25 Jan 1888. FS’s Minnesota County Marriages has no name for the woman but says she was 25 years old and that Ole A Kvam was 38.

An advertisement for W.C. Leber (”Dealer in Watches, Clocks, and Jewelry.”) in the 1888-1889 Minneapolis city directory includes the line “O.A. Kvam, Repairing of Fine Watches.” W.C. Leber was at “No. 208 Hennepin Avenue.”

That 1888-1889 directory shows Ole A. Kvam, watchmaker for W C Leber, residing at 111 Island Ave. Note that this is the same address for his first cousin, Jøger Ellingboe (#4056), who was a jeweler for Adolph Leber.

The 1890-1891 city directory also shows Ole A Kvam, watchmaker for W C Leber, residing at 111 Island Ave.

An article in the Saint Paul Globe, Tuesday, February 27, 1894:

O. A. Kvam, the jeweler, died at St. Mary’s Hospital Sunday from the effects of an operation to relieve an ulcer in his stomach. He was advised by Dr. Hoegh to have the operation performed two weeks ago but kept putting it off and it is thought that the delay proved fatal as the disease gained such headway that medical skill was unavailing.

In that census, she had had 4 children, of which 3 were still living.

It wouldn’t seem that she could have had a son Thomas, born in Wisconsin in 1865 or so if she was still in Norway for the 1865 census with, apparently, all of her children, none of whom was Thomas.
