margareta_tidman1 — 2013-03-11 07:50:56Z

I am searching relatives who settled in Comstock, Marshall in 1905. John Carlson born 1863-10-06, his wife Christine 1869-07-17 and their children Annie 1899-03-18, Garda 1901-11-11, Albertine 1903-03-19 and Joseph born 1910-? in Comstock. John died in 1944, Christine 1947, Garda 1984-02-19 in Beltramiand Albertine 1979-03-23. I have not found any further information about Joseph. In Census 1930 i was still living with his parents in Comstock but not in Census 1940. I would be very grateful to hear from someone.

Rindal Lutheran in New Solum or Newfolden

I am looking for information on the Rindal Lutheran church cemetery in New Solum township or Newfolden. I have checked find-a-grave but they are not showing any earlier burials (1880-1940). Does anybody have a master list of the burials? Thanks.

Re: obituaries P.C. Kalin obituary

majfam — 2012-12-10 00:33:54Z

you probably have found this by now but just in case, in search at www.chroniclingamerica.loc.gov I found this obit for you:
Warren Sheaf, May 5, 1915
P. C. Kalin Died Last Week
P. C. Kalin, a pioneer farmer of Marshall county, died suddenly April 28, 1915, aged 67 years. He was born in Wermland, Sweden, in 1848, emigrated to America with his family and settled in town of Viking in 1888. A few years later he moved to town of McCrea, where he lived until 1907, when he moved onto a farm west of Argyle, where he lived until his death. Mr. Kalin was a hard working farmer, a good neighbor and a useful citizen. He is immediately mourned by his two sons, Axel, who is in business in Moorhead, and Carl who lives at home. The wife of deceased died in 1902.
the funeral was held last Sunday and was conducted by Rev. Jacobson of Argyle. A large funeral procession in automobiles escorted the remains to the cemetery at Warren, where they were laid at rest. A number of friends from this vicinity attended the funeral. Peace to the memory of the departed pioneer.

Re: OSTGULEN, Rev. Hans search

majfam — 2012-12-10 00:18:00Z

I know you may have found this by now but just in case here is his obit:
Warren Sheaf, Warren, Marshall County, MN., April 5 1922
Rev. H. Ostgulen, Former Warren Pastor, Is Dead
Rev. Hans Ostgulen, a prominent pastor in the Norwegian Lutheran Free church, died at a Minneapolis hospital on March 25th, after a lingering illness.
Rev. Ostgulen was born in Norway in 1855 and came to America in 1884, entering Augsburg Seminary at Minneapolis the following year as a theological student. After his graduation in 1889, he was called to serve eleven congrgations in Marshall and Kittson counties, with headquarters at Warren. He resided in this city until 1906 when he moved to Cumberland, Wis., where he lived until 1912 when he came to Roseau, Minn., located on a farm three miles from town and devoted most of his time to active church work. His religious work among the pioneer settlers of the valley and the many hardships he suffered in serving his widely scattered congregations, will long be remembered by the parishioners.
Rev. Ostgulen went to Rochester, three months ago to seek medical aid and then to Minneapolis where, following an operation he contracted pneumonia and passed away. His remains were brought to Roseau for burial. He is survived by a widow and three children.

Re: Lowe obituary lookup

John Lowe, of Argyle, died April 24, at the age of 58 years. He had been in poor health for several months. The cause of death was heart failure. Deceased was born at Richland, Wis. He was an industrious man and a good citizen.

Re: Hannah Hokanson (Johanna Håkansson)

martid44 — 2012-09-03 06:28:05Z

In an estate inventory from Jan 24, 1900 I have red that above Christine Hakonson (there are several different spellings) was dead in America and left widower Andrew Hakanson and three children under age. In Warren sheaf June 22, 1899 Image 4 I found an very tragical article about Andrew Hakanson who was killed in an accident. Christine Hakonson was sister to my grandfather. How and why this wrong information in the estate inventory could appear I do not understand. Now I will try to find if there is any relatives left of the family.

I am very thankful for your help. Best regards, Margareta

Hokanson who died, he ws a teacher and his siblings were Nels, Gustaf and Hannah along with many other realtives (it did not say their names) but this is a great site and it is free. Good Luck!
found onlt one with the spelling Hakonson found many with the spelling Hokanson.

Hannah Hokanson (Johanna Håkansson)

margareta_tidman1 — 2012-09-01 15:14:08Z

I am searching relatives to Hannah Hokanson (Hakonson) born 1885- in MN. She lived according to Census 1885-1920 in Alma, Marshall together with her brothers Gust (P Gustaf)Hokanson born 1881-03-18 in Sweden and Alfred Hokanson born 1883- in MN. Their parents Christine Hakanson (Kerstin Persdotter) born 1853-07-25 in Sweden and Andrew Hokanson (Anders Håkansson) born 1854-02-16 in Sweden. Both parents probably died between 1885 and 1900. I have a letter written by Hannah dated 1915 in Warren.

Re: Lassila Family

WendiMuto — 2012-06-05 04:26:15Z

Forgot to mention that Pennington County also has a Esther Ness died Nov 1997. Her obituary might also contain the family names you are looking for.

Re: Lassila Family

WendiMuto — 2012-06-05 04:23:16Z

Is Isack Wilhelm Lassila perhaps the same Isac Lassila you mentioned? Pennington County historical society has his obituary and can email you a copy for $3. It might mention his wife and her parents. Sadly, he was the only Lassila I found in their records. They do state that he was buried near Middle River at Riverside Cemetery.

I am interested as to why you called it "Olson Cemetery" and hope you can respond to this question as I had family from the area.

I did not see a memorial made for him at findagrave.com. I started to do so but thought you might like to do that so you have control of the memorial page. A volunteer may be near to photograph the headstone if one exist.

I also did find Isack in the Marshall Co. newspaper when drafted. Do you already have that information? Let me know and I can send you the link.

Thank you so very much. I do admire my relatives who took the step and emigrated. What did they know? New places, no assurances. Have you red the books of the swedish author Wilhelm Moberg? He writes about the swedish emigrants. I would like to know more about my own relatives and their settlement in Marshall. If you want to know more about your grandmother Anna please let me know. Hope to hear from you again.

Re: Obits for Carrie & Olof Dahlin

William_Lundberg — 2012-05-23 17:15:17Z

I can only speak mainly from the "Anna's" perspective. Not sure about her two brother's Hakan (not sure if it is Hakan or Hakon) and Olof. Anna married Nils Larsson who changed his last name to Dahlstrom as mentioned. They had 2 daughters - Kjerstin (went by Christina)and Emma; AND 4 sons, Carl (Charlie), Daniel, Emil, and Oscar. They all lived in the Marshall MN (Oslo Mn) area in the later 1800's. Many Dahlstrom's remain there. My grandmother "Christina" married Charlie Strand and moved to the Baudette MN area. They had 10 children - Emil, Minnie, Anna, Axel, Albin, Lydia, Carl, Noble, Roy and Mildred.

Olof born in 1849 had brothers Lars, and half brother Hakan they also had a sister Anna. They changed their name to Dahlin from Olsson. Olof, Lars, Hakan and Anna's father's name was Olof Olsson.

Anna is my great-great grandmother. She Married Nils Dahlstrom. Nils changed his name from Larsson to Dahlstrom.

I have some more information - but wanted to give you a quick summary.

My gr-grandpa(John Kozma) died in a barn fire in Middle River Township, Marshall Co. MN. Not sure if it was in town of Argyle or Warren, MN or in between. The newpaper article said he owned a farm and the fire started after he returned from Argyle. Wondering how I would find out where his property was located. Looking for an address to locate his house or property as Im sure the house is probably no longer there.

I have found some information for Axel and Hanna Johansson and family, living in Marshall County. The Swedish relatives are wondering if it is possible to find descendants of this couple still in Marshall County. I found that two of their sons died in Marshall county in 1980s and 1990's, so not that long ago. Any obituaries or links to family still living today would be appreciated in Sweden.

Hi Thad, I have the Marshall County History book and there is a history on Carl and Helga (Kristiansen) Gilthvedt. Carl died in 1889 and is buried in Foldahl Cemetery and Helga died 16 Nov 1925 and is buried in Northwood Church Cemetery. I have a partial list of burials at Foldahl "Nyed" Cemetery and will send you information on its location. I can also send you a scanned copy of the history on Carl and Helgawhich was written by their son, Erling Gilthvedt. Please contact me at marcyj@invisimax.com

Looking for Norwegian churches in or around Foldahl Township 1885-1890

tcruwithme — 2012-01-15 22:31:12Z

Hello,
One branch of my family tree lived in Foldahl township from 1884 to 1894. Carl A. Giltvet and wife Helga arrived in Foldahl in 1884 after spending three years in Eau Claire county of Wisconsin. They homesteaded property described as "the NE quarter of section 34 in Township 156N and Range 46W at the 5th prime meridian". Carl died 02 May 1890 of pneumonia on their property, but I do not know where he is burried. Does anyone know of the names of Norwegian churches at the time (1890) where I might look to find cemetery records? Any assistance or guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Ole Larson & Ida Rebecca Lamberson New Maine/Newfolden

Eltonbird — 2011-12-10 21:40:38Z

Ole Larson was born in Norway about 1845. He came to America about 1865. He married Ida Rebecca Lamberson 3 March 1876 by a Justice of the Peace in Freeborn County, MN. They lived in "southern Minnesota" until 1900 (they were in So. Dak and Iowa prior)they moved to New Maine/New Folden in Marshall County. Ida Rebecca Larson died in 1931 and Ole in 1936. I have both of their obituaries. Three of their children also lived in the area: Walter, Fred and Lewis.

MY CHALLENGE: I am trying to link Ole Larson back to his Norwegian town/farm. His obituary says he was born 'near Bergen' but it is such a common patronymic, I am stalled. I was hoping their marriage certificate would give me some leads but alas, it does not.
Perhaps someone knows of this families and there are relatives still living in the area that I could contact?
