Gjartrud Nilsdtr MYRE

1839 - 1910  (70 years)

• Name	Gjartrud Nilsdtr MYRE
  Birth	3 Nov 1839	Myre 47/2 Trøo
  Gender	Female
  Residence	USA   [1]
  Death	8 Oct 1910	Northwood, IA, USA
  Notes	Hun fikk to barn med rundbrenneren Jon Simensen Kattevold eller Lajord, og bodde med dem på husmannsplassen Søre Trøadn, sammen med enkemannen Knut Øysteinson (1818-), antakelig stelte hun for ham. I følge Frøholm ble Jon Simensen gift med Gjartrud Myre (1842-) fra hovedgården, men etter notater fra Bruce Simmons, ser dette ikke ut til å stemme. Han giftet seg antakelig med denne Gjatruden da de dro til USA. Sources: Worth Co. Iowa death records, Northwood, IA. Atlas of Worth Co.; The Anderson Publishing Co; 1913 The Atlas contains a picture of siblings: Knut N. Troe; Nels N. Troe; Mrs. John Simmons; and Mrs. Siverson. A presumtion is made here that the "N" in both males' names is probably for Nelson, since Gjertrud's father is listed as Nils Troe in th e Death records. Betty Rockswold, Valdres Samband genealogist, confirms that Troe is in fact a sub-farm of the Myhre farm, and therefore, reasonable that her parents and siblings carried the name "Troe". The Troe farm is also called Trøadn, Trøo, Tontidn, and Tom to Nørde.
