    Jim’s notes:

    Da han var 74 år og enkemann i 1862, ble han med sønnen sin Gudbrand og alle barnebarna til USA. Om etterkommere se Fil USA

    Gudbrand og Anne hadde barna: GUDBRAND UVDAL (1823-), se nedenfor INGEBJØRG UVDAL (1827- ) gm Nils Håvardson Hermundstad-Hagen, de reiste til USA i 1853, sammen med to av søsknene til Ingebjørg: IVAR UVDAL (1830-) og ANNE UVDAL (1839- ), hun var bare 14 år da hun reiste med søsteren, svogeren og broren til USA. ANDRIS UVDAL (1833- ) til USA i 1854 MARIT UVDAL (1836-) til USA i 1857 ASGRIM UVDAL (1844- ) til USA med faren og broren Gudbrand i 1862.

    GUDBRAND G UVDAL (1823- ) overtok gården allerede i 1852, (skjøte 6.11.1852) for 490 spd og livaure til faren og moren. Han giftet seg i 1849 med ANNE TORSTEINSON KJERSTEIN (1823- ) De fikk følgnde barn: Gudbrand (1849-) Anne (1851- ) Torstein (1853- ) Ivar (1855- ) Kari (1858- ) Ingebjørg (1860- )

    Det begynte nok å bli trangt på gården allerede i 1853, og søsknene til Gudbrand reiste i tur og orden til USA. De må nok ha skrevet hjem og fortalt om fine forhold, for etter å ha gått å grunnet litt, bestemte Gudbrand seg for å selge Uvdal 2/1 (uppigarden) og dra over til Amerika han også. Moren hans var nettopp død, og den 74 år gamle faren bestemte seg for å være med på ferden, sammen med den yngste sønnen Asgrim.

    Frøholm skriver:"Med skjøte 5.3.1862 selde Gudbrand garden med lausøyre, utan livaure, til Gudbrand G Bø (1831-1905) for 700 spd og reiste til USA, saman med heile huslyden sin og faren og broren. Dermed vart den gamle Skogstad-Uvdals-ætta avløys t av ei ny ætt".

    Dette er ikke helt riktig, for Gudbrand G Bø som overtok, var også av samme ætta.

    From Find A Grave in a record for Kari created by DM Scott:

    Kari Nelson Lee, daughter of Howard and Kari Nelson Opdahl, was born at Vang, Valders, Norway, January 8, 1824. She was baptized and confirmed in her home parish of the Lutheran Church of Norway.

    She came to America in the early fifties and like a large number of the other early settlers, she stayed for some time in the settlements of southern Wisconsin.

    On June 27, 1857, she was married to Ole K. Lee, who preceded her in death on May 8, 1891.

    Their marriage was blessed with five children, two boys and three girls. Knud and Bertha Lee both died in 1885. The second son, Ole, died October 10, 1888, leaving two daughters, Carrie Lee and Julia Lee, to mourn the loss of their aged mother, who died of heart disease and pneumonia January 2, 1922.

    The funeral was conducted by Rev. Waldeland. Short services were held at the home and at the St. Ansgar and Deer Creek Lutheran Churches. She was laid to rest at the Evergreen Lutheran Cemetery at St. Ansgar on Thursday, January 5th. Had she lived until January 8th, she would have filled her ninety-eighth year of life.

    Present at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. C.S. Orwoll of Minneapolis. Mrs. Orwoll is a niece of the deceased.

    In the 1900 census, she is the 76 year-old widow Kari Lee of Newburg Twp, Mitchell County, Iowa. Living with her are her daughters Carrie and Julia, her mother-in-law Guri, and two boarders: the brothers Thrond Ellingboe (#3213 ) and Iver Ellingboe (#3215 ). Kari came to the U.S. in 1850.

    Notes:

    From Find A Grave in an entry created for her by D M Scott:

    Funeral services for Miss Carrie Lee, 94, a former resident of St. Ansgar, who died at the home of her niece, Mrs. Ren Anderson in Osage Wednesday, February 11, 1953 were held at the First Lutheran church here Saturday, February 14, 1953 with the Rev. O.A. Langehough officiating.

    Carrie Lee was born on a farm near Carpenter March 2, 1858 and was baptized June 6 of that same year by Rev. A.C. Preus, an assistant pastor to Rev. C. Clausen. She was confirmed by the Rev. Johan Olsen May 7, 1872.

    Miss Lee attended the Seminary in Osage and afterwards taught school for three years until she was clled home due to illness in the family. This illness extended over a period of five years during which time two brothers, a sister and her father succumbed to an untimely death. For several years Carrie, her mother and sister, Julia continued on the farm. Her mother died in 1922 and her sister in 1926. Carrie continued alone on the home place for another 15 years. In 1941, after 83 years at the home of her birth, she retired and moved to Osage where she could be near Mrs. Ren Anderson. When Mrs. Anderson was seven years old, she and a brother were given a home by "Aunt Carrie," as she was affectionately called by all who knew her.

    Miss Lee had always been in good health and had never had any dental work done. It was only within the last 10 or 12 years that she had occasion to consult a doctor. On January 19 she suffered a stroke from which she never recovered. She died at the home of Mrs. Anderson, where she had been the past nine months. Mrs. Sever Lee, a relative and lifelong acquaintance, was a close companion the last six months of her life.

    Miss Lee has bestowed numerous gifts to her church and charity. She gave a pipe organ for the WCAL radio station at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota; a home at Luther college in Decorah for missionaries while in the United States home on furlough; the home farm; a hospital in the Orient as well as other huge sums of money.

    She has also remembered well local institutions and building funds with generous gifts. "Aunt Carrie" came from a long-lived family. Her grandmother died at the age of 105, her mother was 98, and just two weeks ago a second cousin, Mrs. Verger Stien of Northfield, Minn. died at the age of 110. Miss Lee would have been 95 March 2.

    Burial was in the First Lutheran cemetery with Rev. Langehough in charge of the committal services.

  10. 22.  Julia LEE Descendancy chart to this point (8.Kari3, 4.Kari2, 1.Ingebjørg1) was born on 1 Jan 1860 in Iowa; died on 21 Jun 1926 in Franklin County, Iowa; was buried in First Lutheran Cemetery, Saint Ansgar, Mitchell County, Iowa.

    Notes:

    From Find A Grave, in an entry for Julia created by D M Scott:

    Guri Lee, popularly known as Julie Lee, was born January 1, 1860, at the Lee Homestead, about six miles northwest of St. Ansgar, of the parents Ole K. Lee and Kari N. Lee.

    She was baptized by Rev. C. L. Clausen March 3, 1860, at the church at St. Ansgar, and confirmed in the same church on October 4, 1874.

    Miss Lee has lived on the Lee Homestead her entire life with the exception of a year spent at Carpenter.

    About twenty-five years ago Miss Lee suffered an attack of stomach trouble for which she underwent an operation at Dubuque, Iowa.

    After this time she suffered considerable, off and on, because of adhesions. The condition grew worse after an attack of the flu last winter.

    About two weeks ago she slipped and fell in the cellar stairs and she suffered some contussions as a result of the fall.

    Her old trouble reappeared and it was found necessary, in an attempt to save her life, to take her to Hampton, Iowa, for an operation.

    The operation showed a severe condition of strangulation and adhesions.

    The operation was successfully completed but Julia was unable to rally after the ordeal and finally slept peacefully away early Monday evening, June 21st.

    Her sister, Carrie Lee, was at her bedside at the time.

    Julia often wished the word of God read to her at the hospital, having for a long time been a constant reader of God's word.

    Her sister also repeated for her several of her favorite hymns.

    At times Julia would repeat Bible passages and hymns aloud and showed plainly that she remembered them word for word and loved the Heavenly message they brought her.

    She repeatedly expressed her firm faith in Christ, her Savior, her joy in the forgiveness of sin, and her desire to depart and be with Christ.

    All this and much more of the same Christian faith and conviction she also expressed on several occasions to her pastor, Rev. Waldeland, during his visits at her bedside during her last illness and while sick last winter.

    Even before going to Hampton she spoke to her relative, Miss Myrtle Lee, about arrangements for her funeral and said that she liked to think about Myrtle joining in the singing of hymns she had selected for that occasion.

    At Hampston, on Monday, Julie made up with her sister the entire program for this funeral. She designated the hymns she had selected to be sung here today, indicated the text she had chosen for her pastor's serman, and in general expressed her desires as to the whole event.

    She remembered those at whose baptism she had been a witness and showed her concern for their eternal happiness and salvation, as she also admonished and encouragd her near and dear ones as to their religion and spiritual life.

    Towards evening on Monday she grew considerably weaker and after five o'clock she spoke no more. The end came at about 8:30.

    She leaves to mourn her departure her sister, Carrie, and Myrtle Lee, a cousin, who had made her home with them since she was a small girl.

    The funeral was conducted at the N. Lutheran church, St. Ansgar, Iowa. Rev. M.E. Waldeland officiating, Friday afternoon, June 25th, and the remains were laid to rest in the St. Ansgar N.L. cemetery.

    Card of Thanks

    We feel most grateful and hereby express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the many friends and relatives who in so many ways helped to make the last days of our Dear Departed so much more endurable and whose many tokens of friendship and love mean so much to us in this hour of sorrow and bereavement.

    Her death certificate, for which Carrie Lee was the informant, shows that Julia died from shock due to her operation for removal of a bowel obstruction caused by adhesions.

    Obit information from Find A Grave and Dennis C. Olson:

    Gilbert Haugen, the son of Gilbert G. Haugen (from death certificate) and Anna Thasa Haugen, was born in Norway, May 21, 1849 (from death certificate) and came at a very young age with his parents to America. He married Ingeborg Isabel Estrem at Decorah, Iowa, on December 30, 1878. The names appearing on the church records for that marriage were Gilbert Nelson and Isabel Anderson.

    Shortly after their marriage they moved to Boone County, Nebraska, where seven of their nine children were born. One baby died and was buried on the prairie and also a son Gustav Martinus died. During the time they lived in Nebraska they used the name Nilsen or Nelson.

    It is not known exactly when the family moved to Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, area but they were living there at least from 1893 to the middle of 1895. Their youngest son Knute was born while they made their home there.

    After his death Ingeborg stayed on the farm and made her home with her son Talmer.

    Sometime during the late 1890's the family moved to Minnesota and in 1898 settled in Webster township of Rice County, Minnesota. It was apparently during this time that they began to use the Haugen name.

    Gilbert died November 19, 1915 in Webster township, Rice County, Minnesota from heart problems.

    He leaves to mourn his death six children, namely, Talmar Haugen at home, Gust Haugen on a neighboring farm, Knute Haugen, Northfield, Mrs. Paul Overby, Binford, N.D., Mrs. Albert Thorpe, Minneapolis. Two brothers-in-law, Christ Estrem, Petersburg, Neb., Andrew Estrem, Decorah, Iowa, and several grandchildren.

    Preceding him in death were; an infant buried on the farm in Nebraska; Gustav Martinus born December 16, 1879, died March 5, 1893 buried at Closter, Nebraska; and Albert born November 9, 1885, died July 28, 1908 buried at Binford, North Dakota.

    Birth:
    The day of birth is ambiguous in the Norwegian church records. It may be May 22. His death certificate says May 21.

    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.
