Generation: 4

  1. 6.  Marie Clara ODEGARD Descendancy chart to this point (4.Knute3, 2.Anna2, 1.Torstein1) was born on 7 Apr 1908 in Otter Tail County, Minnesota; died on 5 Jul 1991 in Orange County, California; was buried in Fairhaven Memorial Park, Santa Ana, Orange County, California.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Minnesota Birth Certificate: 1908-18954
    • Confirmation: 9 Jul 1922, Crosby, Divide County, North Dakota

    Notes:

    Her name on her birth certificate is Marie Clara Atthea Coltman, mother’s maiden name Weflen, so it’s not clear which of the two sisters, Annie or Clara, was her mother. We’re assuming here that Marie Clara’s mother was Clara and that she was later adopted by the Odegards. The Odegard Family Tree agrees with this assumption.

    In the 1910 census, she is shown with Knute and Annie as an adopted daughter.

    Confirmation:
    as Marie Clara Odegard at Concordia Lutheran
