    Notes:

    Hun fikk to barn med rundbrenneren Jon Simensen Kattevold eller Lajord, og bodde med dem pċ husmannsplassen Sĝre Trĝadn, sammen med enkemannen Knut Ĝysteinson (1818-), antakelig stelte hun for ham. I fĝlge Frĝholm ble Jon Simensen gift med Gjartrud Myre (1842-) fra hovedgċrden, men etter notater fra Bruce Simmons, ser dette ikke ut til ċ 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 Trĝadn, Trĝo, Tontidn, and Tom to Nĝrde.

    Gjartrud married Jon Simensen KATTEVOLD on 5 Jan 1865 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland Fylke, Norway. Jon (son of Simen Torsteinson LAJORD and Ragnhild Ovesdtr KVAM) was born on 24 Nov 1826 in Kvam 53/; died on 12 May 1904 in Northwood, IA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

He attended the old Breckenridge school in Decorah and was graduated the St. Ansgar seminary in 1900 . As a young man he taught school in Worth County and later was County Treasurer for 17 years. Mr. Simmons was a member of the Sons of Norway and the organizationnow known as the Lutheran Brotherhood. During his life he held several offices in the Lutheran Church, taught Sunday school, and was director-at-large of Silver Lake township scho ols.

    Notes:

    John Bruce Simmons skriver om ham:

    During WWII he served as an officer with the Naval Construction Battalions "Sea Bees". As a civil engineer, he was commissioned a LTJG. Because of ulcer he was not considered fit for overseas service. He was assigned to travel the midwest as a recruiting officer for the Sea Bees. By the end of the war he had become a Lieutenant Commander. After I was born, he was assigned to engineering duties at Great Lakes NTC. He ultimately received a medical discharge from the Navy on account of his ulcer. I think that he liked the Navy life and would have been happy to make it his career.
