Born in the province of Trondhjem, Norway, she came to this country, in 1852, meeting and marrying her husband. After a short residence in Racine county, Wis., in 1854 they came to Winnesheik county, and secured land for a home where they have lived ever since. Three children were born to them. The eldest child died in infancy. Her husband and son, with one daughter (Mrs. John Halsath) survive. Death resulted from old age that took the form of paralysis. Funeral will be hold to-morrow from the Highland church, at noon.
