Olav Bøyesen HAMMERSTAD

1889 - 1960  (70 years)

• Name	Olav Bøyesen HAMMERSTAD
  Birth	22 Dec 1889	Hammerstad 38/2, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Residence	Oslo
  Death	20 Jul 1960  [1]
  Notes	According to naming tradition, he should have been called Ola after his mother's father, Ola Kvåle, but because his father's father was also named Ola and his eldest grandson was therefore named Ola after him, the parents made a slight change and added a "v" to the end of his name. Like his father, he was handy. He received an award certificate at the Bærumsutstillingen in 1930 for his milk container, salt shaker, newspaper folder and Valbjørk (furniture or other items made from birch with twisted grain and irregular rings). He built a house called Veslenibb (after a peak on Grindadn) at Evje Terasse 11, Sandvika. It was sold in 1933. He was a junior officer at the Bolærene (a group of islands in the Oslo fjord) on 9 Apr 1940, the day that Germany invaded Norway by attacking all seaports simultaneously. He received a medal for being a participant in the defense of Norway at that time.
