4 Forward My study of the family of Hans Isakson got its start in I was visiting relatives in northern Wisconsin and made copies of some letters and family history sheets in the possession of my father s sister Laura Marie Hanson [Evans] who had been corresponding with her second cousin Sigurd Klabo Mehus. Sigurd died in 1983 before I even knew of his existence, and when Laura died in 1997 the copies I had made were still filed away in a drawer, unread and very nearly forgotten, where they remained until I finally began serious and focused research in Those 20 or so pages were a treasure trove of information and formed the core of my slowly expanding base of knowledge. From his letters it is obvious that Sigurd had already done quite a bit of research. In a 1976 letter to Laura he wrote: I have a lot on your father and your grand father, back to the 17 hundreds and Hans & my grandmother Kristine were siblings, have all the data on the brothers and sisters, but need to get a lot of my notes together. Have you a system for this sort of thing? I have ½ a dozen different forms, there is something missing on them all. He also wrote something in another letter in 1977 that has greatly influenced me: Hi folks and takk forsist, yes I was sort of wondering, not for myself, but I feel so strongly on the subject, that all families should leave some record behind, so the next generation will know something of where we came from and whom we were. Sadly, I have not been able to locate Sigurds records. All I have are the now fading copies I made in And like Sigurd, I too have struggled to come up with a systems for this sort of thing that will allow me to share what I have discovered. The Personal Computer, the Internet and the World Wide web have have made it much easier to find, document and share genealogical information. For example, I have posted many pictures and documents on my web page, and my entire database of information about the family has been uploaded to the rootsweb web site as part of the WorldConnect project and can be viewed by anybody in the world at the following URL: However, I recently came to the conclusion that an old fachioned paper record was required as well. I have encounted many people with a stong interest in the family who have no access to a computer. Also, as I have been assembling and editing this document I have found that the medium is at least complimentary to, if not superior, to what is possible using a computer. And so, some 160 pages later, I am writing this introduction in the sincere hope that the information, and the format, will prove useful (or at least interesting) to some future reader. Most people probably think of genealogy as a hobby that is focused on the past. However, my research has brought me into contact with many wonderful, fascinating and helpful people. The fact that they also happen to be relatives makes them all the more special to me. The trust and generosity I have encountered has been, at times, 3

5 overwhelming. I am deeply grateful to everybody who have shared their memories, documents and pictures with me (many of which are included in this document), but I would like to especially thank Ruth Duderos, Sharon Burke and Norman Lorentsen for all the encouragement and information they have provided over the years. None of this would have been possible without the encouragement, assistance and unhesitating support of my wife Kathleen. She has been a tireless and enthusiastic companion on many genealogical research trips made under the guise of a vacation, and it is thanks to her occasional nudges in the back that I am now able to share some of the information contained in this document.

6 I. Hans Emahus Isakson Hans Emahus Isakson was born on the Herset farm in Nesna, Nordland, Norway on 04 Jul 1853, the forth child of Isak Johan Larsen and Maren Christiane Andersdatter. Sigurd Klabo Mehus, a grand-nephew of Hans, wrote this in a letter dated : When your G.F. Hans was baptized they wrote his name Hans Emahu but when some of his children were baptized his name was listed Hans Emaus, an unusual name. Don't know where they dug it up, it might have been a man of some influence with that, so they hung it on one of the children, hoping some thing might rub off. That was the practice at that time. I have also one hung on me, didn't help-ha-ha. As a young man he reportedly spend long days working on clearing rocks and building a rock wall that stands today as a boundary marker for the nearby Handa farm. On 22 Nov 1880 he married Inger Helene Andersdatter: he was 27 and she was 23 years old. They lived on the Herset farm and, over the next 18 years, had eight children, seven of who survived to adulthood. Ludvig Martin Hanson 11 Jan 1881 Kristine Antonette Hanson 15 Aug 1882 Marie Albertine Hanson 17 May 1884 Anton Edwin Hanson 25 Apr 1886 Olina Johanna Hanson 30 Aug 1888 Rehardine Fredrikke Hanson 24 Jan 1892 (died 28 Nov 1892) Rehardine F Hanson 10 May 1894 Petra Necholena Hanson 20 Mar 1898 Information in the 1900 Norwegian census indicates that he was a tenant farmer, with land to farm for himself, plus he probably worked every day for the person owning the main farm. He also fished and worked on building or maintaining roads. In April of 1903 Hans, who was then 50 years old, left his family and traveled with his nephew Otto Kristian Lorentssen (son of his brother Lorents Andreas) to the United States. They left Trondheim on the 21st on the Allen line s ship Tasso. 5

7 At that time, emigrants from Trondheim sailed to Hull, England and then traveled to Liverpool, London, Bremen, Glasgow or Bristol by train to catch boats for New York, Halifax, Quebec, Philadelphia or Baltimore. In all likelihood they arrived in Boston and traveled cross country to Lamour County in North Dakota to join his brothers Benjamin and Jocob. His wife and most of his children would soon follow: by 1906, all but Kristine Antonette and Marie Albertine were in the United States. The picture to the left (obtained from Dolores Jean Hanson) was probably taken in North Dakota around 1905 and shows (L to R) Hans, his daughter Rehardine, wife Inger Heline, son Anton and daughter Petra. At the time of the 1910 US census the family was settled in Verona, Lamoure County, North Dakota. Hans was working for the Northern Pacific railroad as a laborer. Son Anton had just married and was living with his new wife (Marie Dahl) in nearby Logan County. Son Ludvig (then 29) and daughters Olina (21), Dena (15) and Petra (12) were still living at home with their parents, although Ludvig would marry Nora Beatte Anderson in 1911, and Olina would marry William Benjamin Phipps in April, On August 13, 1915 his wife Inger Helene was committed to the State Hospital for the Insane in Jamestown. In the Return of Physician document filed with the court as part of the commitment proceedings, the physician who examined her in (G.B. Ribble, MD) stated that there had been a previous attack 14 months prior (which would have been a few months after Olina s marriage) manifested by hypochondria symptoms. She would remain at the hospital as a patient until her death in In 1920 Hans was living with his son Ludvig Hanson in Barnes Township, Cass County, North Dakota and still working for the railroad as a section hand. He had retired from the railroad by 1930 and was living as a pensioned railway laborer with his nephew Ivar Lorentsen (son of his brother Lorents Andreas Isakson) in Horace, Stanley County, North Dakota. Hans apparently became ill in late 1931 and entered a Northern Pacific Benevolent Association hospital in St. Paul where he died on June 14, His obituary was published in the June 16 morning edition of The Fargo Forum: 6

8 WEST FARGOAN'S FATHER WILL BE BURIED TODAY Hans Isackson, 79, father of Lud Isackson, West Fargo, will be buried this afternoon at Fort Ransom, ND. Mr Isackson died Tuesday morning in a St. Paul hospital where he was a patient during a six months illness. He had made his home for some time with a brother, Ben, at Fort Ransom. Surviving him are three daughters: Mrs. E. I. Bergan of Crookston, Minn; Mrs. Leo Ness of Rock Lake, ND and Mrs. Charles Hagardt of Lakefield, Minn. Hans is buried in the Standing Rock Cemetery outside Fort Ransom in the Benjamin Isakson plot.

26 B. The Brothers & Sisters of Hans Emahus Isakson Isak Johan Larsen and Maren Christiane Andersdatter had eight children, six of whom would eventually migrate to the United States. The oldest (Anton Edvard) died in 1885, before any of his siblings emigrated. Only the youngest (Anna Elisabet) would remain in Norway. The exodus apparently began with Jacob Johan. He was listed as the owner of two farms (Myklebostad and Nordbostad) in the 1886 Norwegian Land register, so he may have sold the farms to finance his trip. He departed Trondheim on 16 May 1888 on the Wilson line ship Hero, just 7 months before his father passed away. At that time, emigrants from Trondheim sailed to Hull, England and then traveled to Liverpool, London, Bremen, Glasgow or Bristol by train to catch boats for New York, Halifax, Quebec, Philadelphia or Baltimore. Correspondence attributed to Norman Lorentzsen says that Jacob settled in the Washington state area where he lost his wife and child in childbirth. The Allen Line office in Trondheim, Norway around 1903 Next to depart was Benjamin Nicolai, who left Trondheim on 04 Sept, 1889 also traveling on the Hero. His wife (Eilerine Kristine Ingebriksdatter) would make the same trip on the Juno, departing on 10 June 1891 with her daughters Anna Ellisabet (3 years old) and Karen Aalberg (11 months). Benjamin apparently settled into his new life in North Dakota quickly: by 1901 he had homesteaded and obtained title to land in Lamour County from the US Bureau of Land Management. Isak Martin Pedersson (son of Kristine Marie and Peter Andreas Larsen, who would themselves travel to the US in 1910) left Trondhiem for Lisbon, ND on 18 May 1898 on the Tasso. 25

27 Ivar Anker Lorentssen (son of Lorents Andreas) reportedly left with his wife Antonette Marie Olsdatter in 1901 (according to his record in the 1920 and 1930 US census). Hans Emahus left his wife and 7 children behind when he made the trip in April of 1903, departing Trondheim on the 21st on the Allen line s Tasso with his nephew Otto Kristian Lorentssen (son of his brother Lorents Andreas). Sons Ludvig and Anton departed on 24 February, 1904, on the Salmo for Hull, then traveled by train to Liverpool and arrived in Boston on 12 March 1904 aboard the Cymric. Hans' wife (Inger Helene Andersdatter) and two daughters (Dena and Petra) departed Norway on August 20 of the same year on the Tasso and arrived in Boston on the S.S. Cretic on September 17. Daughter Olina departed 14 Feb 1906, also traveling on the Tasso. Two daughters would remain in Norway: Kristine Antonette and Marie Albertine. Leonard Pedersson (another son of Kristine Marie and Peter Andreas Larsen) left Trondhiem for Lisbon, ND on 24 February 1904 on the Salmo. Elias Nicolai left Trondheim on the Salmo on 17 Oct 1906, 11 months after the death of his mother (who was living with Elias in 1900 according to the census records). It appears that he was married to Anna Mathea Eliasdatter and had a daughter (Elise Marie Bang) but addional information abou them has not been located. The Jacob Johan trail picks up again in 1900: He is listed on the 1900 census living with his brother Benjamin in Black Loam Township, La Moure County, North Dakota. According to Norman Lorentzsen, he moved to North Dakota from Washington, bought some property from his brother Benjamin, and married Emma. Their children began to arrive soon thereafter: First born were daughters Erna (born about 1912) and Elnor (born about 1914), followed by a son Edwind (born about 1916) and another daughter (Marie, born about 1918). All of them were listed in the 1920 census, living in Black Loam Township, Lamoure County. Arnold, a second son, was born about 1925, and the family (with the exception on Erna) still lived on the farm at the time of the 1930 census. In 1909, Benjamin Nicolai returned to Norway to visit for the winter. He apparently returned early in 1910 (he was back home on April 27 according to the US Census records). On May 20, 1910 his sister Kristine Marie, her husband Peter Andreas Larsen and others from the Nesna area traveled on the Oscar II, arriving at Ellis Island on May 31. Kristine Marie's sons (Isak Martin and Leonard) were already in the US. Her oldest daughter Eva Johanna arrived at Ellis Island on 18 June 1916 (ship: Bergensfjord), and the youngest (Kristine Antonette) died in Norway in Martha Dorthea died in the United States. Lorents Andreas departed Trondheim on 08 Feb His wife had died the previous year, and sons Ivar Anker and Otto Kristian were already in the US. Sons Hilmar Krough Moeller and Vilhelm Andreas and daughter Kaspara Jonette all apparently died in the United States. 26

Ludvig was the son of Morten Benjamin Klaebo Larsen, who was born in Melfjord, Rodoy, , and passed away in his home paa Mehus, His mother Elen Sophie Elias daughter, born in Luroy, , died at the home of her daughter Martine, pass Huske, Nesna, Norway. Ludvig bought the farm next to his parents, then he and Eva Johanna Pederson were married, She was the daughter of Peder and Kristine Larsen, who were both born in 53

55 Nesna. Eva was born also in Nesna. Passed away October 17, 1971 in Seattle, Washington USA. And buried there in Washelli Cemetery. Ludvig and Eva had 4 children; Eias, Henry, Sigurd and Emma. Ludvig fished, farmed and worked in a mine in Mo i Rana, where he was seriously injured. In 1909 mother's [Great] uncle Benjamin Isakson came for a visit after 20 years in North Dakota, where he farmed and raised a large family. Ben visited in the Nesna area all winter, part of the time at my parents home. In the spring when he was ready to return to America, Ludvig decided to go with him, my grandparents Peder and Kristine also left to live with their son Isak in North Dakota. Others from there also left for America with him. In May 1910 they all left Nesna for America. Crossing the Atlantic on the Scandinavian Amerika Line ship, "Oskar II", [Oscar II, departing 20 May] landing in New York, And as far as I know, none of then ever saw their native land again. During that summer Ludvig worked as a section hand on the railroad in North Dakota. That fall he drove one of Ben's team of horses during the threshing season. When winter came he worked for a bachelor farmer doing odd jobs including hauling grain to the elevator in Lisbon. Wages $15.00 per month. February Ludvig left for the west coast, where his brother Andrew had a job for him with a salmon canning company in Anacortes, of which he was foreman. He worked the regular 9 month season. In the winter he stayed with mother's sister Martha and her family in Seattle. Several years later they bought the adjoining 10 acre tracts of land in Fragaria, in Kitsap County, half way between Seattle and Tacoma on the West Pass. There he cleared land and built a small house in preparation for his family's arrival from Norway. June 25, 1916 we arrived. We had crossed the Atlantic on the Norwegian Amerika Line Ship, Bergensfjord, docking in New York June 18th after 11 days at sea. We were detained in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, at the British Contraband Control Station there. Al shipping was searched by the Britons, as this was the middle of W.W.I. Fog also delayed us off of Newfoundland, where ice bergs were often encountered that time of year. Ludvug built a nice big house in Fragaria. He continued to work in the salmon industry until Then Dad and Mother began raising chickens, and sold eggs for the next ten years. It was now 1929, and the high cost of feed and low egg prices put them out of business. The family was now grown and married. Dad got a job as oiler on the Seattle- Harper ferry, on which his sone Henry was chief engineer. In April 1933, Ludvig became ill. He was in and out of the hospital in Seattle all summer. On August 16, 1933 Ludvig Mehus passed away. He is buried in Washelli Cemetery in Seattle Washington, USA. Benjamin and Kristine were sosken [siblings]. Sigurd Mehus 54

Phototraph obtained from Ruth Duderos. Benjamin Isakson: A Biographical Sketch Compiled by Jon R. Miller, Great Grandson In the latter part of the 19th century a large number of Scandinavians immigrated to the United States from their native homeland. Settling mainly in the upper Midwestern states, these hardy individuals combined a rugged pioneering zeal with an overwhelming faith in God and literally dug and carved an existence out of the stubborn prairie. Enduring drought, locusts and the unfamiliarity of a foreign tongue, these people prospered and left a lasting influence on the American culture. One of these early Midwestern pioneers was Benjamin Isakson. Born in Nesne, Helgeland, Norway on June 27, 1860, Ben Isakson was originally destined to continue in the tradition of the Norlanding fishermen. He married Eilerine Kristine Ingebrigtsdatter on September 4, In 1889, when the prospects of a viable livelihood seemed dim for his growing family, Ben left his wife and two young daughters, Anna and Karen, and journeyed to North Dakota; his passage was paid by Iver Iverson. In North Dakota Ben worked for his sponsor Iverson, saving money and learning enough English to get by when he ventured out of the Norwegian settlement. After working and saving for two years, Ben sent for his wife and daughters and established a homestead in the Bear Creek district of LaMoure county, North Dakota. A house was fashioned out of the sod of the prairie. The sod was broken with oxen and a single share plow. It has been said that Isakson walked twenty-five miles to Lisbon to have the plow-share sharpened. 62

64 Just when some sense of continuity was begun to emerge in the new land, tragedy struck hard. On Easter Sunday, 1895, the Isakson house and belongings were destroyed in a prairie fire. The growing family, father, mother, Anna, Karen, Inga and baby Emil were left with nothing but the clothes on their backs; however, this would not discourage someone of the character of Ben Isakson. Aided by the strong community of Norwegian immigrants, the family began again. They moved in with their neighbor John Brekke. Elias Peterson gave Isakson some precious seed wheat with only one stipulation that Ben return the sacks which had Elias name stenciled on the side. Ole Guttormson donated a 100 pound sack of flour and others contributed other necessities. With money earned that summer, cutting grain with oxen and binder, and with the contributions from his neighbors, a new frame house (photo below, provided by Ruth Duderos) was constructed near the Ransom county line, southeast of the original dwelling. Through the years the farm prospered, with horses replacing the original oxen. The main crops were wheat, oats, barley and flax. After being threshed by custom steamdriven machines, the wheat was hauled eight miles in open wagons to a grain elevator in Verona. While grains were the major crops, the sale of eggs and butter furnished the money for the weekly groceries that were obtained in Fort Ransom. The trip to Fort Ransom was an allday affair but for the children a worthwhile outing since the day usually resulted in a sack of candy that would be made to last until the next trip. Ben Isakson was also a pioneer in community and church affairs. He received permission from the Ransom county school board to hold summer church school in the school building. During the year the Norwegian-Americans attended regular classes taught in English but the summer church school classes were taught in Norwegian. The church school instructor always roomed and boarded in the Isakson home. The Isaksons were charter members of Standing Rock Lutheran Church in Fort Ransom. In 1910 Ben went to Norway and brought his sister Kristine and her husband, Peder Larson to North Dakota. His brother-in-law Ludwig Mehus came on the same trip. Throughout the years the Isakson home was always open to the new immigrants and at times there were as many as fourteen people to accommodate, a good enough reason for Mother Isakson to bake bread every day and the younger daughters to bemoan all the dishes to wash! As time progressed the Isakson farm prospered with the final accumulation of land being 260 acres. A parlor and downstairs bedroom were added to the house and the number of children increased to nine, six girls and three boys. The number of people on the farm was always greater than the immediate family as it was a frequent gathering place for friends and relatives in the surrounding area. 63

65 Ben Isakson retired in 1917 and moved to a new home in Fort Ransom where he died April 30, The death of Ben Isakson inspired his daughter Ingrid s husband, Telvin Kinneberg, to write the following words: Said the Angel, I now call you, Ben, From the rank and file of pioneer men. You have served your God, and man, well, It is time for you in heaven to dwell Your fruitful labors on earth now cease, Your soul shall rest with God, in Heavenly peace. Benjamin Isakson s life was devoted to service and his efforts were fruitful indeed. Through his efforts, the difficult transition to the new land was made much easier for many Norwegians that followed him to North Dakota. 1.

76 II. Inger Heline Andersdatter Inger Helene Andersdatter was born in Nesna, Nordland, Norway on 27 Apr She married Hans Emahus Isakson on 22 Nov 1880 when she was 23 years old. They settled into the Herset farm in Nesna and began their family. Over the course of 18 years they had had 8 children, 7 of whom survived childhood. In April, 1903, Hans left for the United States with his nephew, leaving Inger Helene with the 7 children. Hans traveled to North Dakota (where his brothers Benjamin and Jacob were living) and made preparations for the family. Sons Ludvig and Anton departed Nesna in February, Inger Helene and daughters Dena and Petra departed Norway on August 20 of the same year on the Tasso and arrived in Boston on the S.S. Cretic on September 17. Daughters Kristine (then 22 years old), Marie (20 years old) and Olina (16 years old) remained behind in Norway, although Olina would herself make the journey in By the time of the 1910 census the family was settled in Verona, Lamoure County, North Dakota. Hans was working for the Northern Pacific railroad as a laborer. Son Anton had just married and was living with his new wife (Marie Dahl) in nearby Logan County. Son Ludvig (then 29) and daughters Olina (21), Dena (15) and Petra (12) were still living at home with their parents, although Ludvig would marry Nora Beatte Anderson in 1911, and Olina would marry William Benjamin Phipps in April, Inger Heline with Hans and daughters Dena and Petra in the United States around 1910 (photo obtained fron Ruth Duderos) 75

77 The facts describing what happened next are indisputable: on August 13, 1915 Inger Helene was committed to the State Hospital for the Insane in Jamestown. What may never be fully understood is why it happened, although records and recollections that survive provide some insight and allow one to speculate. In the Return of Physician document filed with the court as part of the commitment proceedings, the physician who examined her in (G.B. Ribble, MD) stated that there had been a previous attack 14 months prior (which would have been a few months after Olina s marriage) manifested by hypochondria symptoms for which she was not hospitalized. He further recorded that the disease appeared to be increasing, that there were rational intervals, but that they did not appear at regular periods. The derangement now manifested in 1915 was hallucinations and delusions : she had recently made two attacks on members of the household with knife, had threatened to commit suicide with carbonic acid and had a disposition to the destruction of clothing. Leading up to the 1915 incident she had exhibited religious expressions & temper. She had poor physical condition, appetite and slept poor and had been confined/restrained at home. The family member recorded as giving this information was Mrs. Lena Phipps, Inger Heline s daughter. Lena also signed the Warrant of Admission document at Jamestown. Some insight into what might have happened to trigger this event was provided by a great granddaughter in August, 2005: When I was a child, I used to stay with my grandparents on their farm out by Starkweather. Just maybe a week or two at a time. Grandma (Petra) and I would have coffee every afternoon and we would "gossip". I would talk about my dolls, she would talk about the neighbors... She often mentioned her mother to me. Grandma referred to menopause as "the change" and said how her mom suffered through "the change". I might tell you that I had heard rumors just the last couple of years that Dena had a child while she was very young, before marriage. When Dena passed away, Grandma Petra stood over her body at the mortuary and said to her, "Dena, your secret is safe with me". Grandma didn't know people were listening to her! One of my aunts, Beverly [Beverly Joan Ness, daughter of Petra], told me that she thought Grandma was talking about Dena's pregnancy. Well, when I called Uncle Harold [Harold Wayne Ness, son of Petra] yesterday to ask about Dena, he said, "Grandpa [Leonore A Ness] always said that Grandma's mother was put in the insane asylum because she fell apart when Dena got pregnant. He said the father of the baby was a teacher. Inger Heline was examined when she was admitted to the hospital: some of the information recorded on the Physical Characteristics form was as follows. Her General Nutrition was Poor, her tongue was coated badly", and was badly constipated. She had Bruises on each arm and on shins when admitted, and spoke rambling, broken English. She was 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed 123 pounds. 76

78 The following notes are from her Clinical History record obtained from the hospital in 2005: 1915 Aug. 13. Admitted to ward A West. Patient is talking in a loud voice, singing praying and weeping alternately. There is motor restlessness also. Patient frequently gets out of bed. She resists everything done for her. Through an interpreter we learn that she thinks her relations and her daughter sent her here to get rid of her and to get her killed. She states that she was badly treated at home and there are a number of bruises on her arms and legs. She thinks she has a cancer of the uterus and at times groans and complains of pain in her abdomen. Temperature is constipated course of calomel and salts outlined. H.D.E. Sept. 16. Patient has been fairly quiet and orderly since the first four or five days after admission. She is despondent and hyperchondriacal; often necessary to urge her to take nourishment and medicine. Today she attempted suicide by tieing a string tightly about her neck. She was detected, string removed and only a slight abrasion of the skin of the neck was the result. Given a hypo of morphine. H.D.E Jan 24. Constant watching required to prevent her from committing suicide. Considerable coaxing and urging required to get her to take sufficient nourishment. Has the delusion that she must be killed. She seems to expect to be executed every night. Sedatives required to produce sleep. H.D.E. July 12. Patient has been very destructive of her clothing, often untidy. She is not so noisy and restless as she has been and she has been taking nourishment better. On account of her suicidal tendency she was transferred to ward 7. H.D.E 1917 February 20. During the past summer and fall this patient spent all of her waking hours on the porch. Occasionally she suffered from constipation and several times her abdomen was badly distended with gas. This patient resisted local examination, but during the autumn it is became necessary to catheterize her and it was discovered that she had a painful urethral caruncle. Every effort has been made to keep her bowels and kidneys active, although of course she does not cooperate with us in this effort. She eats and sleeps only fairly well. She continually pleads to be permitted to go home. On ward 7. B.B.W. April 30. Sits around rather stupidly. Shows very little interest in her surroundings.

Physical examination today reveals the presence of a cavity at the apex of the right lung.

82 Feb. 23. Relatives were notified this A.M. as her condition became critical and she finally passed away at 10:45 A.M. JWM Feb. 25. Body claimed by relatives for burial at her late home. JDC According to her obituary (from the Fargo Forum, Morning Edition, Tuesday, February 26, Page 2): Funeral Services for Mrs. Inger Isacson, 72, Jamestown, who died of heart disease Saturday, will be held from the OJ Hanson funeral home here at 3:00 PM Wednesday. Six children survive Mrs. Isacson and are: Ludwig Isacson, West Fargo; Lens Isacson [Lena?] of Lakefield, MN; Dina Isacson, Crookston, MN; Petra Isacson, Rock Lake ND; Maria and Christina, who reside in Norway. Mrs. Isacson had been a resident of Jamestown for the last 11 years. Inger Heline Andersdatter is buried in the "Single Graves" section of the Riverside Cemetery in Fargo, ND next to Lena Hanson ( ) and Ragnvold Hanson ( ), which is significant because the funeral records indicate that the family did not have a cemetery lot, and the burial information in the Riverside Cemetery book lists a "L. Hanson" as her closest relative/friend. The headstone for Inger Marie appears to be relatively new and very similar to the one the Hanson plot. All of this suggests that Lena Hanson purchased the plot and the headstone. 81

119 1. Inger Marie Antonsdatter (his wife) Inger Marie Antonsdatter was born in Skiptvet, Norway (in Østfold, South of Oslo, and Northeast of Raakestad) on 31 January 1886 on the Aasen ( Small Hill ) farm, which was actually part of the larger Tvetervestre farm. She was baptized 31 March 1886 in Skiptvet. Her mother died in 1891 when she was 5 years old, and she was apparently raised by the Petter Johannesson family in Raakestad (he could possibly be her greatuncle): she was confirmed 06 October 1901 in Raakestad and was living with the family at the time of the 1900 Norwegian census. It is not known who raised her four older brothers and sisters. Her father (Anton Martin Syversen) re-married in 1897 and had another daughter, but none of the children from the first marriage were living with him at the time of the 1900 census. In 1908 Inger Marie would leave Norway forever, changing her name in the process to Inger Marie Dahl. 30 years later she would list her mother as Unknown on a Social Security application. Her granddaughter (Roberta Louise Evans) remembers hearing that she was raised in foster homes, and does not remember her grandmother even mentioning either her mother or father. She sailed from Kristiania (Oslo) on May 8, 1908 on the C.F. Tietgen and arrived at Ellis Island on May 20 on a ticket that was paid for by somebody in the United States. From there she traveled to North Dakota. According to Anna L Amborn [Hanson], her daughter-in-law, she was a mailorder bride, but decided that she could not marry whoever the gent was, so she worked and paid off the debt and later met and married Anton. Anna remembers Inger Marie saying that she had worked for a Dr's family with many children and they taught her English plus the American way of life. Following her husbands death in 1921, Inger Marie worked as a cook in Birchwood Wisconsin, first at a logging camp, then at the Fred Thomas resort before moving on to a position on Garbutts Island. Daughter Laura had to take a train from the logging camp to get to school in town, and she graduated from the Birchwood High school. The family moved to Menomonee, Wisconsin by the time that Arnold William, the youngest child, was of high school age, where Inger Marie again worked as a cook at a hotel. Inger Marie moved back to the Birchwood area and remained there throughout World War II. Following the war she lived in Hawaii with her son Arnold William and his family, returning to the mainland in She spent most of the rest of her live in the Birchwood area. Inger Marie did not appear to have maintained ties with her family back in Norway. However, she was visited by a nephew Tolleif Roni Andersen (the son of her sister Maren Louise Antonsdatter), his wife is Ragnhild and daughters Norma and Heidi around The picture (provided by Danny Hanson) below was taken in Birchwood, 118

158 IV. Farms A. Nesna If the Isakson family has an ancestral home, it surely must be located in Nesna, a small coastal town located approximately 24 miles south of the Arctic Circle. Records encounterd so far indicate that the family of Hans Isakson has continuously lived in the area from the 1600 s through the present day. The name comes from the old farm Nesna (Norse Nesnar), and is derived from the word nes n 'headland'. The parish of Nesna has been in existance since the 1600 s. The municipality of Nesna was created on January 1, Farms were an important part of the identity of Norwegians. The information provided below about the farms associated with Hans Isakson and his family comes from information obtained from the Norwegian Census, the 1886 land register and other sources. 1.

The American Grandchildren of Lorents and Elisabeth Isaccson created a document in the early 1980's outlining their family that includes some fascinating information about the Handa farm: The first known history of Handaa dates back to The first owner was Paul Vagaskalm. The farm was held by several people after Paul. In 1675 the owner became P. Christen Tønder. The descendants of 158

The farm was divided between four children of the grandson of Isach Coldevin in It is not clear what year Erland Paulson came to Handa. We do know that he was living on Handa when he was married. Handa, at the time our parents were born, had three homesteads on it. They were known as Øver Handa, Mellom Handa, and Ner Handa. Our parents were born on Øvre Handa. There is a loft (a building used for hay and machine storage) on Øvre Handa. Half of this building was built in 1604 and the second half in The latter portion has windows, whereas no windows in the 1604 section. The home in which our parents were born was a rather small house. Upstairs as but one room. This house was torn down in The stone used as a doorstep for generations is now in a prominent place in the flower garden. The land on this farm had its good share of rocks. There is today a rock wall as a boundary marker. Our grand uncle Hans Isaacson reportedly spend long days working on clearing rocks and building this wall. There is a beautiful mountain stream running through the farm descending to the fjord Sjona. Bird hunting, fishing and struggling to eke out a living occupie all the time of our grandparents.
