• Baptism: 26 Dec 1873, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

His father’s farm name in Knute J.’s birth record seems to be Korlien. His baptismal sponsors were Peder Olsen Framstad, Margreta Olsdatter Framstad, Anne Olsdatter Framstad, Anders Knutsen Korlien, and Barbro Knudsdatter Korlien.

Knute married Julia THOMPSON on 3 Feb 1905 in North Dakota, and was divorced about 1913. Julia (daughter of Gullick Thomasson GROVI and Thilda) was born in Jul 1879 in North Dakota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 9 Apr 1882, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

More confusion, the birth record for the Anders born on this date shows his parents as Even Torstensen and Marthe Andersdatter and his parents’ farm as Ødegaarden, Jevne.

The 1891 Norwegian census shows the 9 year-old Anders as, apparently, the child of Anders Haaversen and Berith Knudsdatter. Others on that farm are Mareth Andersdatter, 69, and Knud Johannessen, 60, apparently serving as foderaads.

His obit calls him Andrew Anderson Holien, age 85. He had been a farmer in the Wrencoe area west of Sandpoint for 30 years before moving to Spokane in 1946. His obit said that he was an uncle of Henry Holien, Sandpoint, and Mrs. Bertha Heaton of Spokane. Andrew had been on the board of directors of the initial REA utility in the area as well as the board of the local gas coop.
