Translated from 'Nordmændene i Amerika' by Martin Ulvestad, 1907. Ohio In this State there has been no attempt to start Norwegian settlements. We find, though, some Norwegians in the big cities. In Toledo, for example, we find Thorenius Holst (Holter) from Ullensaker. He has lived in that city over 30 years and is a foreman in the Wabash Line's workshop. His son William Holst was for a time a Member of and President of Toledo's City Council and later City Clerk. Lauritz Holst (Thorenius Holst's brother) is similarly an old settler here; he runs an orchard near the city. His eldest son, Bert Holst, is a physician in Rossford. In Cleveland they have a small congregation, partly Norwegian and that belongs to The Norwegian Synod. A few of our countrymen are also found in Fairport Harbor, Columbus, Canal Dover*, Canton and Blooming Green.** See, 'Sammenstilling af Norske Sambygdinger i Amerika'. See also the accompanying map of 'Norge i Amerika' *Post Office name in Dover that was closed in 1915. OK. **Probably an error for Bowling Green. OK
