In the 1900 census, she is shown as having had 17 children, 8 still living.

in the 1910 census, she is a widow living with Henry, who is head of household, and Cora and her children (but not Cora’s husband although she is shown as married). Anna is still shown as having had 17 children, 8 still living.

her obituary from the Dodge, Nebraska paper:

Mrs. Anna Rumery died at her home, one and a half miles north west of Dodge, last Thursday, January 28, 1915 at the age of 73 years, 3 weeks and 1 day.

She was born in the north part of Norway January 5, 1842, and came to America with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ellingboe, when ten years of age. They lived in Wisconsin till 1869, when they came to Nebraska and homesteaded the place where she died. Her husband died some years ago.

Grandma Rumery had been making her home with her son Henry and daughter Mrs. Cora Snyder, on the old home farm since her husband’s death. She had been sick a good deal of the winter, but apparently was better until a few days before the end.

She leaves six sons and two daughters, Ferd [Ferdinand], Matthies [Matthias], Henry, Mrs. Cora Snyder, Frank, Anton [named after Jacob Rumery’s father], Mrs. Paul Kraft and John A.

The funeral was held Saturday at St. Joseph’s church and burial took place in St. Joseph’s cemetery.

The family has the sincere sympathy of all in their bereavement. Mother has passed away and her place can never be filled. Although all the children are grown and scattered, the love for mother is never stilled, and visits to the old homestead are not what they were when mother was there.

Jim’s notes, for which he attributes Martha Hicks as the source:

Gullik Knudsen (Septon) Lien was born in Feb 1815 in Vang, Oppland Co., Valdres region, Norway at the søndre (southern) Septon farm. He has a baptismal record, dated Feb 19 1815 in Vang, Oppland Co., Valdres region, Norway. He served in the military in 1838 in the Norwegian army. Records suggest that he served from Jan. 1, 1838 to Dec. 31, 1842. He immigrated in Jul 1850 to the United States. The month after his wedding, on May 10, 1850, he, his wife, and his in-laws, having traveled to the coast from Vang, Norway, set sail from Bergen, Norway aboard the brig "Ørnen" (Eagle), whose captain was Nicolai Jahn. They landed in New York City on July 15, 1850. Upon arrival to the United States, the family traveled to Iowa where they bought government land in Springfield Township in Winnesheik County, near the site of Springfield Lutheran Church. When they arrived in Iowa, in September 1850, they did not have a chance to plant crops before winter. They built a dugout in a hillside, near a spring, in which to live through the winter. Using his axe, he cleared land for others who had come before, so he could earn a living until he could begin farming in the spring. (Their farm is still operated, by a fifth generation descendant- named Gary Allen Lien, as of 1994.) He died on Apr 12 1903 in Decorah, Iowa. Age at death: 88. He was buried in Winneshiek County, (near Decorah), Iowa in Springfield Township at Springfield Cemetery. He was a member of Springfield Lutheran Church, along with his wife, in Winneshiek County, (near Decorah), Iowa at Springfield Township.

(In Norway, prior to 1923, surnames reflected the farm name where a person lived. When a person or family moved to a different farm, they would drop the former farm name and be called by the new farm name.) The name of the Septon farm where he was born changed officially to "Lien" in 1830. Now the farm name is sometimes spelled "Lii," "Lié," or "Lia." (Alternatively, some American records show Gullik's first name spelled "Gullick, and his middle name spelled "Knutson" or "Knudson." However, Norwegian records and his tombstone in Iowa spell his first name "Gullik." Several sources, including a Norwegian military record, his marriage record, and American church records show his middle name as "Knudsen." Jan Edvardsen of Follebu, Norway says that "Knud" is the Norwegian spelling of the name that was used prior to the 1900's, and "Knut" is the more modern spelling. Gullik's family in America knew his birth date as Feb. 18, 1815, and this is the date on his tombstone; however, church records in Vang, Norway indicate that he was born Feb. 14, 1815. The minister, who wrote out his infant baptismal record, first accidentally wrote the date as the 19th (which was the baptism date) but then added a note saying the birth date was the 14th instead. Church records list his marriage date as Apr. 13, 1850; however, a handwritten Norwegian marriage record gives his wedding date as Apr. 14, 1850.)

He was engaged on Mar 16 1850 in Vang, Oppland Co., Valdres region, Norway. On that date, the minister of the church was informed of the marriage intentions. He was married to Berit Knudsdatter Østrem (daughter of Knud Eivindsen Remmesbrekken and Kari Kristoffersdatter Heen) on Apr 14 1850 in Vang, Oppland Co., Valdres region, Norway. (They are third cousins.) Berit Knudsdatter Østrem was born in 1826 in Vang, Oppland Co., Valdres region, Norway at the Austreim farm. She has a baptismal record, dated on Nov 10 1826 in Vang, Oppland Co., Valdres region, Norway at Hurum Church. She immigrated in Jul 1850 to the United States. As a newlywed, she sailed from Bergen, Norway with her family and husband aboard the brig "Ørnen" (Eagle). They set sail on May 10, 1850, and landed in New York City on July 15, 1850. She died on Mar 22 1904 in Decorah, Iowa. Age at death: 77. She was buried in Winneshiek County, (near Decorah), Iowa in Springfield Township at Springfield Cemetery. She was a member of Springfield Lutheran Church, along with her husband, in Winneshiek County, (near Decorah), Iowa.

(Alternatively, there are records that spell her first name "Beret," and "Berith," her maiden name as "Austreim," show her birth date as Oct. 7, 1826, and wedding date as Apr. 13, 1850. However, American church and family records, including her tombstone, show her name spelled "Berit" and her birth date as Sept. 29, 1826. She and her family spelled the surname "Østrem." The marriage record gives her wedding date as April 14, 1850. Her tombstone mistakenly shows her middle initial as "G" instead of "K." Apparently, the stone is a monument with inscriptions on each side for various family members. Alden Lien says that the stone-cutter (who made inscriptions for all the family members buried there) made a mistake putting a "G" for her middle initial which was the middle initial for all of the other members of the family.)

In the 1860 census, he, as Gulic Knutson, and his family lived in Springfield Twp, Winneshiek County, Iowa.

In the 1870 census, as Gulik Knudson, 55, he was prosperous farmer in Springfield Twp, Winneshiek County, Iowa. He and Berith have 13 children, all living at home.

Connie Ferris’s entry for him on Find A Grave says:

Gullik Knudsen was the second of nine children born to Knud Thomasen, from the Torpe farm, and Sigrid Olsdatter, from the Septon farm. Parish records show that Gullik was born on the Septon farm on 14 Feb 1815, which differs from what is on the gravestone. The farm name later changed to Lien which is the name that many of the family adopted in the United States.

Gullik married Berit Knudsdatter Østrem, who was also from Vang, 14 Apr 1850 in Vang. Almost immediately they left for America. Berit was pregnant and traveled with her parents and siblings. Their first child was born in Wisconsin shortly after their arrival. Within the year they had arrived in the Decorah area in Winneshiek County. There they established a pretty farm in the valley in Springfield Township (visible in the distance behind the monument in the photo). Gullik and Berit had 14 children, all but the first, born and raised on their farm.

Gayle’s Find A Grave entry for him, acknowledging Connie Ferris as the source, says: “Endre was the fifth child of nine born to Knud Thomasen Torpe & Sigrid Olsdatter Lien. He married Berit Gundersdatter Gjevre/Givre 28 Dec 1848 in Vang. They had six children, all born in Vang. “

His farm appears to be Heensejet in the birth record for his son Gunder.

He and his family live on Bakken, probably the plass on Heen 70/1, in the 1865 census. All of their children are listed in that census, other than the first Gunnar who died as a child in 1858.

The bygdebok says that he came to the U.S. around 1870.

He was a farmer in Hawk Creek Twp, Renville County, in the 1875 state census. He lived next door to the Gunder Gjevre (#2560) farm.

In the 1885 state census, all of the children were still at home except for Betsey, who had married nine years earlier. Also in the household in that census were Berit’s recently-widowed sister Marit and Marit’s son Anders.

He is Endre Knutsen Lien, I13887 in Jim’s Valdres Slekt tree. Jim does not have Betsey as one of Endre and Berit’s children.

From Wang Township section of the History of Renville County: “Endre K. Lien settled in section 6. At the age of ninety-four he is the oldest man in the township. He still retains much of his early vigor and even this winter is to be found chopping wood and enjoying outdoor exercise. His son, Knud Anderson, a bachelor, came at the same time, and died on the farm some fifteen years ago.”

Notes:

From the Northfield News, Jan. 25, 1938:

Funeral services were held at Vang church Thursday afternoon, Jan. 6, for Nels T. Haugen, who passed away Monday morning, Jan. 3, at Minneapolis after a few days' illness of pneumonia. The services were conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Adolph Egge, who preached the funeral sermon. During the services, Mrs. Gertrude Boe Overby of St. Olaf college, a niece of Mr. Haugen, sang two hymns, one in Norwegian and the other in English. There were many beautiful floral offerings, and several gifts in his memory from relatives and friends to missions and charity. The services were attended by a large number of people, who had come to pay their last respects to their departed friends. The Rev. V. E. Boe, a brother-in-law of the deceased, was present at the funeral and spoke briefly at the close of the services. The interment was made in Vang cemetery. The pallbearers were: John Ellingboe, Ole Hoiby, John M. Lie, Nels L. Nesheim, Anton Remmen and Ludvig Soine. Nels T. Haugen was born in Warsaw township December 20, 1862, a son of the late Thomas and Gertrude Haugen. He was baptized as a young child by the late Rev. B. J. Muus and confirmed in 1875 by the Rev. M. O. Boeckman of St. Paul who then was the pastor of Vang congregation. His boyhood days were spent attending the common and parochial schools of the neighborhood. In 1887 he was married to Miss Regina Brekke of Ottertail county, and there he and his wife were engaged in farming. Mrs. Haugen died in 1894. In 1900 the family moved to Minot, N. D. Shortly after his arrival at Minot, Mr. Haugen was employed for several years in the lumber yard of Tosten Kulaas, a former resident of Warsaw township. After several years' work in the lumber yard, he was appointed deputy sheriff of Ward county, N.D., which position he held for four years. In the year 1917 he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Eide at Minot, and they went to farming near Minot until 1922, when they moved to this community, where they were engaged in farming until last fall, when they took up their residence in Minneapolis. After coming back to his old home community, he was for several years the janitor in Vang church, a work which he performed in addition to taking care of his farm work. Mr. Haugen was a man whom it was always a pleasure to meet. He had a pleasant smile and kind word for everybody. He made a large number of friends in whatever community he made his home. He leaves a large number of relatives and friends in this community. Endowed with a keen mind and a wonderful memory, he could relate incidents and interesting historical data from the pioneer days of this neighborhood. He was a great lover of horses and could many years afterwards speak of the color and the names of the horses which the pioneers had in the early days of this settlement. If anyone in recent years desired any information about the early history of this community, they were always referred to Nels Haugen. After coming back to the neighborhood where he was born, spent his childhood days and grew to manhood, he again became a member of Vang congregation. Besides his wife Mr. Haugen is survived by one son, Thomas, of Warsaw township and one daughter, Mrs. Carl Estrem, of Minneapolis. He also leaves two brothers, Chris T. Haugen of Warsaw township and Thomas T. Haugen of Northfield, and three sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Ramsey of Harvey, N. D., Mrs. V. E. Boe of Finley, N. D., and Mrs. Carl Brekke of Ray, N. D.; fourteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
