Notes:

Marilyn Holien Ettesvold skriver: "When Bertha was fifteen, she moved into Sacred Heart and lived with her sister Marias family while she went to school. When the Holiens moved o Maynard in 1897, Bertha went with them. She worked in the bank, an d later helped Maria at the hotel Knute had bought. Fore a time she operated a milliner's shop there, but the call to adventure sent her to North Dakota with her brothers in 1905.

Bertha married Henry Sloan in 1913. (Han var en venn av brødrene hennes og var med dem til Nord Dakota da de dro dit. Kanskje var det ikke bare av eventyrlyst Bertha fulgte med dem nordover!). They lived on their Mercer County half -section, where Ervin was born in 1915. They sold the land and moved to Dunn County, where Helen was born in 1919.

A lignite coal mind was opened on their land that same year and Henry went to work hauling coal for a $1 a load. They continued to live there, but rented out the fields, and coal was their income. In 1923 Henry suffered a paralyzing stroke, and di ed the next year.

Notes:

Han kom til USA sammen med moren og stefaren Nils Haugerud. Han ble konfirmert i Bostwick Valley nær LaCrosse i 1865 og bodde senere sammen med moren på hennes farm i Goodhue County. I 1871 reiste han til Renville County, hvor han fikk tatt ut land til seg selv.

Marilyn Holien Ettesvold skriver: "On his visits back home, he persuaded his brothers and mother to join him. The region was newly opened for settlement and each of the boys wanted land of their own. Erik Erikson had worked for nearby farmers in Goodhue County and had saved a little money before going to Renville. He met Berith Olsdtr Kattevold while she was working in Northfield and they were married 12 January 1874 at farm home of Marit (hi s sister Hbs anmrk.) and her husband Torger. Official witnesses of the ceremony were neighbors, Ole Knutsen Holien and Ole Jensen Broin.

Erik and Berith worked hard that first summer to get things in readiness for the long winter ahead. Exactly nine months from the date of their wedding, Berith gave birth to two twins, Maria and Erick. The timing of the birth was a source of amusem ent to the couple all during their wedded lives! The boy was small and weak, however, and died soon after birth. Two years later another Erick was born, who lived to almost the age of three. In 1887, Ole was born, in 1880, Bertha, in 1883, Edwi n and in 1885, Eric. Wang Township was organized in 1875 and Erik was elected a supervisor. The first church in the township was Vestre Sogn, organized in 1868, and build in 1881. Erik and Berith were early members, helped build the church, and Re. Johannes Bergh bapt ized their first six children. Vestre Sogn had been sister church to Our Savior's Lutheran in Sacred Heart, but a rift separated the two and a group split off and formed Wang Lutheran Church, which was built in 1885. Pastor A.H. Gjevre baptized Yo ung Eric there. One fall, when he was plowing, he became thirsty and paused to drink water from a small pond. The water was polluted and Erik contracted typhoid fever, from which he died on 12 November 1885. He was buried in the cemetery at Vestre Sogn, the churc h he helped to build and support.

Notes:

Hun var pioner og reiste først til Goodhue Co, Minnesota, der giftet hun seg den 12.1.1874 med Erik, en annen valris, og bosatte seg i renville MN i Wang Township. Se mer om henne under merknaden til søsteren Martha Kattevold. Da mannen Erik Viken døde, ble hun på farmen og oppdro barna deres der. Det var mange vanskelige perioder for den unge enken, men med hjelp av gode

naboer og familien klarte hun å beholde eiendommen til barna var voksne. Da sønnene Ole og Edwin dro til Nord Dakota, kom hun etter i 1906 sammen med yngste sønnen Eric og fikk seg hejm ikke langt fra hverandre i nærheten av Golden Valley.

Da Ole og Minnie flyttet til Pelican lake, flytet også Berit og bygde seg hus ved Detrot Lake. Der bodde hun til omtrent 1935, da var hun blitt så gammel at hun ikke kunne bo alene lenger, og flytet inn til Ole og Minnie. Hos dem døde hun i 1936.
