Jim’s notes:

Han fikk bygselsbrev av sokneprest Castberg 12.2.1746 og skjøte av søsknene på odelsdelen 16.2.1750 for vel 96 rd. Da hans første kone, Marit, døde i 1748, forlovet han seg med Marit H. Jarstad i 1752, hun hadde da vært en tid på gården og hjulpet ham med driften. Frøholm skriver:"Ho hadde eit " melankolsk og tungsindig gemyt, og var ikkje i stand til at dirigere sig selv",..."forkortede sitt liv" og vart gravlagd

3.mars 1754. Ho fekk ligge i kristen jord, og det ho åtte, tilfall arvingane. Broren Jøger Hallvarsen Jarstad vart innstemnd då futen eksaminerte Ola om korleis det gjekk til at festarmøya hans tok seg av dage.Jøger Jarstad var Olas svoger.

The dead body found near the cemetery on Tuesday proved to be that of Gunder N. Lockrem, who had left home January 15th, on which day he went to the cemetery to make arrangements for the burial of his child which had died the day before. As he had gone away from home on several former occasions without informing his family of his plans, no search was made for him. The verdict of the coroner’s jury was that he came to his death by freezing. He was the husband of Ingeborg Enger Lockrem.

A Randi Larsdatter Ellingboe, b. 29 Apr 1815, was confirmed in Vang on 13 Sept 1829. This Randi’s parents were Lars Michelson and Randi Evensdatter. The father of the Randi who married Ole Helgesson was Lars Michelson. The father of the Randi who married Knud Iverson was Lars Tostenson. However, Randi is called a widow in the record for her marriage to Knud and her age is 30. Thus, the church book entry for the bride’s father is probably in error for the entry for her 2nd marriage.

She and her second husband may have moved to Tveit according to Trudy. Knut and Randi were living at Tveith in the 1865 census.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 1 May 1814, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway
• Confirmation: 10 Aug 1828, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

There are many erroneous statements of her birthdate. One source says 11 Sep 1812, her obit said that she was born April 24, 1812, and her gravestone says April 22, 1813.

In the 1885 Minnesota state census, she is probably the 74 year-old Isabell Thompson living with her husband Ole with or next door to H O Thompson in Nunda Twp, Freeborn County.

According to the 1900 census she had had 9 children, 6 still living. In that census, she was an 86 year-old widow living with her son Henry and his family in Nunda Twp, Freeborn County, Minnesota.

Worth County is the Iowa county adjacent to Minnesota’s Freeborn County.

From the Hills Crescent, courtesy of Katherine:

March 23, 1905
Mrs. Ingeborg Thompson, mother of Mrs. Nels Iverson, died at the home of her daughter, southeast of town, Thursday, March 17, 1905, of old age. Mrs. Thompson was born in Norway April 24th, 1812 and was therefore nearly 93 years of age. She was not well known here outside the circle of her immediate relatives, having come here from Albert Lea only about two years ago. Mr. & Mrs. Iverson left Lester Saturday morning with the remains for Albert Lea where interment will take place. **(buried Silver Lake Lutheran Cemetery, Worth Co., IA)

The following was originally prepared by Katherine and can be found at Find A Grave:

Engeborg was the youngest of eleven children. She was a strong willed person and probably instigated the family migration to America. She was a tall thin woman with auburn or reddish hair and blue eyes. Lee G. Larson (Lewis Larson's son) remembers that when she was over 90 years old, she smoked a pipe and wore a white cap. Lewis Larson (son-in-law) once commented that Engeborg was quite forceful and sometimes petulant in manner.

Rachel Thompson married Nels Iverson and after Ole's death, Engeborg lived with the Iversons near Hills, Minnesota, until her death. Engeborg and Andrew Thompson went to South Dakota, where they both took up claims near the village of Montrose. Here Engeborg married Lewis "Lars" Hanson Larson; and Andrew, after losing his wife and two young daughters (interred at Montrose cemetery) moved to Spokane, Washington, remarried and raised a new family.
