She, her husband Christoffer Olson, 6 sons and 1 daughter came to America via Canada & Detroit in 1862. Three daughters were born during their stay in Arendahl, Fillmore, MN (1863, 1865 & 1867). Christoffer died of typhoid in 1866. After her husbands death, Anne took her 10 children to Norway Lake. Two sons became ministers, Karl and Christian. Karl was resident pastor of Nannestad Hauge Synod Church in Norway Lake (1880-1887). You mentioned "buried" articles about the Holter pastor .. if someday you happen to "un-bury" them perhaps you would consider sharing them with me? I would be most appreciative. I do not recognize the name Esther Roen or Hilda. I would be interested in seeing the picture you mentioned .. perhaps I can help identify the Holter. I have a little information concerning the Holter stay in Norway Lake - but not much. I have a picture of a church where Olaus - the oldest son is reportedly bur! ied (b. 1847 d. 1880) but don't know it's name or location (or even if it still exists) other than in Norway Lake. I am happy to offer other information if you're interested. My grandfather was born in Norway Lake in 1887 - his sister born in Minneapolis in 1889 .. so my grand father's family moved sometime between these two dates. Anne died in Northwood, Grand Forks, ND. on March 27, 1922. Hope this answers some of your questions. I look forward to hearing from you. Phyllis
