Erich Jensen AFLANGERUD

Notes:

His farm name is not clear in Anders’s birth record.

In the 1801 Norwegian census, the family was living on the Aflangerud farm in Næss parish, Hedmarken. The household consisted of Erich Jensen, 34, Gaardbruger (farmer), his first and only wife Anne Arnesdatter, 28, their children: Magrethe, 9, Jens, 8, Anders, 4, and Tore, 1, Erich’s father, the widower Jens Erichsen, 63, a servant, a foster daughter, and two husmann families.

ThruLines includes siblings of Anders Eriksen as Margrethe Eriksdatter (1792-1868), Kari Eriksdatter (1802-?), and Karen Eriksdatter (1819-1894).

Family/Spouse: Anne Arnesdatter PINKERUD. Anne (daughter of Arne Nielsen and Kari Ottersdatter) was born about 1773 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway; died in Aug 1811 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Husmann (according to death entry in church book)

Notes:

A source says that he was born June 1796 in Nes as Anders Eriksen, son of Erik Nielsen (20 Jan 1754 to 12 Jun 1812 in Nes) and Lisbeth Andersen (1760 to 26 Jun 1834 in Nes).

Not listed in the Næs census of 1865.

The bygdebøk says: “Arvingene etter Anders Eriksen solgte eiendommen i 1856.” (The heirs of Anders Eriksen sold the property in 1856.)

The ThruLines connection to the Froslees has Anders Eriksen’s mother being Anne Arnesdatter (1772-1811) and Anne Arnesdatter’s father as being Anders Nielsen (1773-1806). The latter is the common ancestor with the Froslees if we believe this alternative theory of Anders Eriksen’s parentage.

Birth:
Date may be June 1st.

Died:
Anders Eriksen Flyttum, age 46.

Anders married Johanne Johnsdatter on 4 Jan 1822 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway. Johanne (daughter of Jon Jensen and Kari Stephensdatter) was born on 1 Mar 1795 in Odevold, Næs, Hedmark, Norway; was christened in Jun 1796 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway; died before 1865. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 20 Mar 1808, Næs, Hedmark, Norway

Notes:

This family for Syver is speculative. Rakkestad is southeast of Oslo, quite a ways from Helgøya and the Syver Eriksen involved in the Rakkestad marriage to Anne Larsdatter was two years younger.

Neither he nor Anne Marie could be found in Rakkestad in the 1865 census.

Other sources say his wife was Ingrid Jensdatter. Neither he nor Ingrid Jensdatter could be found in Næs in the 1865 census.

Birth:
Helgøya

Syver married Anne Marie Larsdatter on 25 Jan 1844 in Rakkestad, Østfold, Norway. Anne was born about 1822 in Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is the Erik Andersen, b. 1822, living as a husmand med jord on Pilstøn in Næs in the 1865 census. His wife was Angnet Larsdatter, b. 1822, and their sons were Andreas Eriksen, b. 1849, and Lars Eriksen, b. 1852. All born in Næs.

In the 1875 census, they were still on Pilstøen in Nes. Erik is now shown as b. 1821, Agneth Larsd in 1829, and Andrias in 1849. Lars is not listed with this family. Andrias’s occupation is trader of some sort.

He was on Eskerud at the time that he married Agnethe Larsdatter.

Jorunn says that he was a farmer on Pilstoen in 1865 and 1875. In 1880 he bought Bratlie. His sons sold the place after their parents’ death.

Erich married Agnethe Larsdatter on 12 Nov 1849 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway. Agnethe (daughter of Lars Andersen) was born in 1830. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Dairy farmer in the U.S., Jordarbejder in Norway
• Baptism: 13 Jul 1834, Næs, Hedmark, Norway
• Confirmation: 6 Oct 1850, Næs, Hedmark, Norway

Notes:

His name in Norway was Ole Andersen Aflangerud.

In a book that Kristiane had, Ole’s middle initial is C.

His birth record is for, simply, Ole Anderssen. Among the people whose names are identifiable as baptismal sponsors: Magrethe Ericksdatter Heggen, Amünd Anderssen Lünds, Karie Ericksdatter, unmarried, Sÿver Erickssen Engesoüg, and Sÿver Pedersson whose farm name may be Gagnamdan.

There is a comment that I am unable to translate in his confirmation record.

Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Ole Andersen, born in 1834 and living in or on the Orderholdt domicile in Næs, Hedmark, in the Helgeøen school district. Ole’s occupation in Jordarbejder (farm worker or field laborer). The household doesn’t have much, only 10 units of potatoes. Included in the household is Ole Anderssen, 32, born in Næs, Kristiane Kristiansdatter, 28, his wife, born in Toten vestre, and “his daughter” Anne Marie Olsdatter, 12, born in Næs.

The bygdebøk says “Ole Andersen Fløttum, f. 1834, var jordarbeider og bodde her i 1865.”

Ole (33) and Christiana (29) supposedly, according to Cora, emigrated to the US from Norway in October of 1867 with one child, Carl (6 months). This conflicts with the 1900 census entry for Charlie which indicated the year of immigration as 1869. In Kristiane’s obituaries, she is claimed to have come to the U.S. in 1870. Could not find the emigration entry for them in the parish record.

A declaration for an Ole Anderson to become a citizen was declared in La Crosse County and so recorded on October 31, 1865. The hearing, order, and filing of his citizenship was on June 12, 1872. Another entry for an Ole Anderson, perhaps more likely to be our Ole, was a declaration on February 3, 1874, and the hearing, order, and filing on October 30, 1878.

In the 1870 census, the Andersons were living in the 2nd ward in LaCrosse. The family is Ole, 37, Christiana, 32, Carl, 3, and daughter Jennie, 5 months. Ole’s occupation is shown as “laborer.” Jennie is shown as born in Wisconsin, the others in Norway.

In the 1880 census, shown as living in 3rd ward, LaCrosse, occupation “peddler”, age 47. Wife, Christina, age 42, “keeping house.” Sons Carl, age 13, and Ole, age 6. Only Ole was born in Wisconsin. The other three are shown as born in Norway, and everyone’s parents are shown as born in Norway.

Lived at 609 South 8th Street in LaCrosse. {No, 603 S. 8th Street; 609 was next door.} “He bought the big lot on [the] corner [and] built [the] house in front on [the] street [and] built [the] barn for his cows on [the] back of [the] lot, next to [the] alley [, and] took his cows to graze on [the] farm [a] short ways from his house outside town."

Cora says that she, Ron, and I saw the place when we drove down to LaCrosse in the mid-1960s. At the time, she recalls, the house had been moved to the side and a new one built in front. The old house had had a big part torn off of it and so wasn't as large as it had been in Cora's day. She also recalled the lot being bigger than the one we saw.

{Cora’s recollections may not be correct. The house as I saw it in 2004 looked to be the same size and shape as the one drawn in the La Crosse fire insurance maps for the late 1800s or early 1900s.}

Notes:

An Edvard was born in Rakkestad on 1 Jul 1844 to Syver Eriksen and Anne Marie Larsdatter. That Edward is probably the Edvard Syversen “indtinget Fattiglem” on Orud in Rakkestad with the Kristen Olsen family in the 1865 census.

Birth records for Nes in 1844 are not available on Digitalarkivet. Confirmation records in Nes for the applicable dates do not include and Edvard Severson.

The Edward Severson who died of sepsis on April 5, 1915, at the Parkview hospital in Jamestown, North Dakota, was shown as 75 years old in the brief obit in the Jamestown newspaper. That Edward’s obit said he normally lived in Robinson and that he was survived by two sons who lived in Robinson. That Edward Severson’s Find A Grave entry says that he was born in Norway in 1841.

Notes:

He and his family, all with the surname Eriksen, lived in Nes in Norway’s 1891 census.

Notes:

The bygdebøk says: Lars reiste til Amerike i 1885 var hjemme på besøki i 1891. Har var ugift da drev med krøttersell og jordarbeide, reiste til bake.

Notes:

According to the bygdebøk, he emigrated to America in 1882. He and his sister Gønner (both as Heggeneie) left, according to the church book, quite late in the season: November 27th.

They probably arrived on the S.S. Geiser which arrived in New York on December 20, 1882, after sailing from Copenhagen and Christiana. The manifest shows a Gønnør Olsen, 17, “girl”, and an Andreas Olsen, 23, “laborer.”

According to the bygdebøk, she was still at home in 1891. “Drev med skreddersøn for egen regning men i 1905 reiste også hun til Amerika.”

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 14 Jan 1855, Næs, Hedmark, Norway
• Confirmation: 3 Oct 1869, Næs, Hedmark, Norway

Notes:

Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as “his daughter.”

There is no mention of her as having come to the U.S. with the rest of her family in the late 1860s. She apparently emigrated to Utah with her husband and family in the late 1880s.

Anne Marie and Martin apparently converted to the LDS faith in Norway on 22 Mar 1882, their baptism dates. Up until that date, Anne Marie and Martin had had their children (Johanne, Ole, and Agnette) christened in the Norwegian church. After that date, they did not. (Berthe and Anne Mathilde were born in Norway but, apparently, were not christened in the Norwegian church.) Anne Marie and Martin waited until they got to Utah to baptize their oldest two children into the LDS faith which they did soon after arriving. However, for some reason, Agnette was not baptized into the LDS until 1963, over 4 years after her death. Berthe and the ensuing children were baptized in the LDS faith on schedule after their 8th, but before their 9th, birthdays, as is the custom. Olga, who never made it to her 3rd birthday, was apparently never baptized.

Birth:
Many sources erroneously show her date of birth as November 20th.

Notes:

In the parish birth record as Karl. In the bygdebøk as Karl.

His obituary says that he emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 6 months.

Charley and Anna were married in a Lutheran ceremony in La Crosse witnessed by Bertha Bowe and Ole Anderson. Charley’s occupation is shown as laborer in his marriage record.

Charly and Anna spent six years in LaCrosse after Cora was born. Cora remembered it being near the Catholic church and the hospitals. Charly worked in a grocery store and a saloon. When Cora was six, the family moved out to live on the Bowe farm with the Bowes who were in declining health.

Charly lived the last eight years of his life with Maurice and Cora.

Death certificate 1934-MN-020308 was issued in Hennepin County for “Charles C. Anderson” with a date of death of May 22, 1934.

The 1900 census enumerator, Charles Engelstad, visited the Andersons on June 11th at their rented home at 715 South 11th Street in the 17th ward. The entry indicates “Charles Anderson” as the head of family, age 32, born in May of 1867 or 1868 (the exact year is illegible). Charles is indicated as being able to read, write, and speak English, having the occupation of “harvester”, having been unemployed for 8 months of the previous year, and having emigrated to the United States in 1869. He is shown to have been born in Norway.

The Anderson residence was, indeed, near a Catholic hospital and nunnery. In fact, 715 South 11th Street was across the street from St. Francis Hospital and just down the street from the Santa Rosa de Viterbo convent. In 2003, there was no building at 715 South 11th Street, just a parking lot.

From the 1893-94 La Crosse city directory, we learn that Charles Anderson was a clerk for Will & Bros., grocers at 622 South 8th St. Charlie was still living at home at 603 South 8th Street. The Will & Bros. building was gone by the time of the 1906 Sanborn Fire Insurance map of La Crosse. In the 1901-02 city directory, a George Will runs a grocery and saloon and resides at 622 South 9th. All of this is consistent with Cora’s recollection of the Wills.

In the 1895-96 city directory, Charley is still living at home but is now a bar keeper for John M. Kolb. In the 1897 directory, Charley works for George Dagendish, stone cutter, and now resides at 1026 South 10th Street. In the 1900 city directory, Carl C Anderson is a teamster for C L C L Co and resides at 813 Market. In the 1901-02 directory, Charley and his family are living at the 715 South 11th Street residence and Charley is a teamster for the C L Colman Lumber Co. Shortly thereafter, Charley and his family moved to the Bowe farm south of Viroqua.

In the 1934 Minneapolis city directory, he is presumably the Chas C Anderson with the notation “died May 22 ‘34 age 67.”

Died at Swedish Hospital in Minneapolis where he had been for four days. His residence at the time of death was 4230 Minnehaha Avenue. The cause of his death was coronary thrombosis. His death certificate, information provided by Cora, said that he had been a farmer for 12 years and that he had last been a farmer in 1924.

His obit, in the Star on May 23rd, said he had been a resident of Minneapolis for seven years. His funeral was to be at the “Folsom church near Viroqua.”

Carl married Anna Clausdatter BOWE on 24 Aug 1895 in La Crosse County, Wisconsin.

Notes:

Ole and Ella were married in a Lutheran ceremony witnessed by Olaus Nyseth and Gusta Nyseth. Ole’s occupation is listed as printer and his residence as La Crosse.

Worked for a newspaper in LaCrosse and in Duluth. Cora says his family is still in Duluth (or was in the early 1980s). He had "quite a few kids."

Cora said that she'd met two of the daughters, “Mariam” and Gertie, and that "they were nice."

Census enumerator Charles Engelstad visited Christiana and Ole on June 5th, 1900, when the two were living on 9th street (or 8th street: it is the last entry for 9th street) (but Cora said it was a corner lot) in the 17th ward of the city of La Crosse. In the census form, Christiana’s and Ole’s birthdates are confirmed as March, 1838, and January, 1874, respectively. Ole is shown as single with “printer” as his occupation. He is shown as having been unemployed zero months in the past year. Ole is shown as having been born in Wisconsin; Christiana as having been born in Norway. Both could read, write, and speak English.

Ole is shown as a clerk, and living at home, in the 1893-94 La Crosse city directory. In the 1895-96 city directory, and in the 1897 city directory (as O. C. Jr.), Ole’s occupation is “comp Daily Press.” In the 1900 city directory, O C Anderson Jr is “comp Press” and resides at 603 S 8th with his mother, Mrs. Christiana Anderson. The 1901-02 city directory lists him as a printer and still living at home with his mother. The 1905-06 directory lists him as a machinist for the “Leader & P.”

In the 1905 Wisconsin state census, he and his family are living in the 17th ward of La Crosse, not far from his mother. Also nearby, apparently, is the St. Anna Orphan House. The family consists of Ole C. Anderson, 31, a printer, Eda C., 22, his wife, and Herbert C., 1. Ole is a printer and he rents his home.

Registered for the draft in Duluth on September 10, 1918, as Ole Christian Anderson. Living at 2108 West Superior Street. He was a linotype operator with the Duluth Herald. His employer was A.C. Weiss. He listed his nearest relative as Ella Anderson, his wife. He was tall, of slender build, with blue eyes and “grayish” hair.

In an obituary for his mother, Ole Jr. is indicated as still living in La Crosse at the time of his mother’s death. Apparently Ole C. didn’t stay too long in La Crosse after his mother died. In the 1905-06 city directory, Ole and his family were first listed, in print, as living at the rear of 941 Market Street. Then, in successive handwritten revisions, the addresses are 603 S. 8th, 925 Ferry, and, finally, 2106 W. Superior, Flat 3, in Duluth.

Living in Duluth at the time of the 1910 census at a house they rented at 2106 West Superior Street. The household consists of Ole C., 35, Ella C., 26, Herbert C., 6, and Marion C., 4. Ole and Ella had been married for 7 years and she had had two children, both still living. Ole is a printer for the newspaper.

Ole C. Anderson is listed in the 1910 Duluth city directory as a lino operator for the Duluth Herald residing at 2108 W. Superior. The 1915 entry is similar except that Ole’s occupation is listed as “comp” for the Herald.

The 1917 Duluth city directory records Olaf C., comp Dul Herald, r. 2108 West Superior.

He registered for the draft at the Sloan Building in Duluth on September 10, 1918, as Ole Christian Anderson. His address was 2108 West Superior Street in Duluth. His nearest relative was Ella Anderson of the same address. He was a linotype operator for the Duluth Herald and the name of his employer was A.C. Weiss. He was described as tall and slender with blue eyes and “grayish” hair.

Living in Duluth at the time of the 1920 census (January 10th) at 2106 West Superior Street, near 21st West. Shown as age 44 which is inconsistent with the birthdate information we have. All children were still at home.

In the 1930 census (indexed as Anderosn), the family is still at 2108 Superior Street in Duluth. Gertrude has left home but the other children are still single and listed at home with their parents although Herbert is designated “AB” for absent. Ole is still a typesetter at a newspaper.

In the 1936 Duluth city directory, he is Ole C Anderson, a lino operator for the Herald Co. He and his wife Ella C live at 119 N 26th Avenue West.

His death certificate puts his last address as 2530 West 2nd Street in Duluth. The informant for the information on his death certificate was Walter Johnson. Ole was still married to Ella when he died. He was a linotype operator for a newspaper. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage brought about by hypertension.

Ole married Ella Kristine NORDRUM on 10 Aug 1903 in La Crosse County, Wisconsin. Ella (daughter of Hans G NORDRUM and Marie Amelia JOHNSON) was born on 28 Apr 1883 in La Crosse, La Crosse County, Wisconsin; died on 31 Jan 1971 in St. Louis County, Minnesota; was buried on 3 Feb 1971 in Bethany Cemetery, Duluth, St. Louis County, Minnesota.
