The family left Norway in June of 1881 to emigrate to Elgin, Iowa.
Emigration record found in the Norwegian Digital Archives for Gran, Oppland, Norway, 1880-1889:

The father, Ole Gundersen, who was born September 17, 1821 at Gran died on September 29, 1881 at Clayton, Iowa. That had to be devastating for his wife and children.
