This sounds like your Mike Shuster. In 1915 he’s in Wyoming employed by the Wyoming Coal Company. Christmas Eve he has an accident. Annual Report of the State Coal Mine Inspectors of Wyoming Report of Non-Fatal Accidents in District No. 1 from October 1, 1915, to September 30, 1916. http://tinyurl.com/ptohht9 Dec. 24, 1915; Mike Shuster, occupation miner; cause of accident, fall of coal; character of injuries, bruised shoulder; employed by Wyoming Coal Company.

Dear Kathy and other Listers! Thank you very much, Kathy, for your additional research on the Schuster family. This family has been rather "frustrating" to research, so many children and so widely "spread out". And still there are details I just cannot find! I am so happy Pete has finally been located, and in fact your transcript of the 1885 census partly explains why he never communicated much with his family; it said that he, at the age of 20, "cannot write"! By the way, his sister Jessie, who was with him in 1910, was married at Meeker, Rio Blanco Co., CO on May 16, 1910 to a man named Val DuVal Park from Montrose Co., CO and then moved to Delta Co., CO! Another brother George H. Schuster, born in NE July of 1886, ended up at the Nebraska State Hospital at Hastings, Adams Co., NE where his WW1 draft was signed by his Doctor on his behalf in 1918, but a death date seems hard to locate... The MAIN problem now remains, however, after the discovery of Pete, the destiny of MIKE Schuster. I can hardly think he wouldn't show up in any newspaper articles if it's true the story I was told about him. The biggest problem may, however, be to figure out exactly WHERE he went...!? Thanks again for your wonderful assistance with this family problem of mine! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane PS: I notice the online family trees use the maiden name OWENS for Ingeborg "Emily" Schuster. Their name was Oyane or actually Oiene, as it was spelt back then, but it was "Americanized" to Owens! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Mar 21, 2015, at 11:13 PM, Kathy Hines wrote: > I had a hard time finding this bunch in the Houston census records for the state of Minnesota.

The south Story County, Iowa, Norwegian community is where I grew up and the Fatland and Berhow names are familiar ones. Cliff has done a great job of sorting out the two Fatland farms and families.  There were few Fatlands and Berhows in the area when I was there however.  Ole Fatland was one of the four immigrants who traveled from Lisbon IL to Iowa in 1854 looking for cheap government land.  On May 17, 1855, he and his family were among 111 immigrants who left Lisbon for Iowa.   They reach their destination on June 7 and founded what became a prosperous community, with many of the group originally from Etne, Skånevik, Fjeldberg and nearby parishes.   My closer relatives arrived a little later (from Vårå and Li in Skjold and Sydnes on Halsnøy).  Most of my ancestors are from that area.  Arlen Twedt has a website at The Central Iowa Norwegian Project Database: which documents the history of the settlement includes information on the settlers.  I also have the Huxley and Slater centennial books with several references to the Fatland family.  In the Huxley book there is a picture of OIe, Kari and Lena Fatland with a story about them. --Dick Lee Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2015 08:45:32 -0600 From: "Cliff Lien" <cjl@interbaun.com> Subject: Re: [NOR] Fatland farm To: "Kitty Cooper" <kittymcooper@gmail.com>, <norway@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <B441A3411CE941FEB762F9A885B7C3AB@LienPC> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="utf-8";     reply-type=original Kitty and others looking at Fatland families...

If it’s the Thomas Jonssen from Reinaaen in the 1801 census, b. about 1778, he’s here on the right page half-way down.

Lars, Cemeteries don't always have exact death dates. One of my grandmothers, for instance, is listed by the cemetery as having died 1 Jan 1935. Actually, she died 9 Jan. Her headstone gives just the years of birth and death. The custom of this cemetery was that if they didn't have the precise date, they gave the first day of the month, or if they didn't have anything but the year, they gave 1 Jan. I'm not sure why they didn't have my grandmother's precise date of death, except that she died in another city and was buried in the town she grew up in. The death certificate had the exact date, and of course the family knew. But over time and distance, families lose track, and you're reduced to hunting down old records. The city office may well have it for you. I hope so. And I hope this helps explain what may have happened. Doris On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 5:13 PM, Lars E.

Dear Thelma and other Listers! Thank you very much, Thelma, for your interesting findings and comments on this LEWIS family challenge of mine! I was very surprised to see that Lemark and apparently also his siblings went to Stoughton, WI after their mother died, but that would be a "logical" explanation why they disappeared from Webster Co., IA! I believe just about all of their mother's siblings lived in or near Stoughton, WI, and now I find Daisy Lewis as a servant in 1900 and 1910 at a cousin's residence in Stoughton, WI! Very interesting! Thus part of the problem has already been solved, if only that "refugee" Ole Lewis and other siblings could be located... One big challenge would be trying to figure out how a young single girl like Martha Lewis could end up in a "Wild West" town like Guthrie, OK in the 1880's...? Any suggestions anyone? Unfortunately, Mrs. Tang's obituary couldn't help us... Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.

I have another huge brick wall challenge to share with you today: Lasse Christopherson (1809- ) and wife Unni (Julia?) Olsdotter (1809) emigrated in 1857 to Dekorra township, Columbia Co., WI. Lasse apparently died s0me time in the 1860's, and about 1870 Julia Christopher removed with her children to Humboldt and Webster Cos., IA. From a court document from Humboldt Co., IA from 1896 she is said to have died about 1892, but I hav e never been able to verify this! Among her children, who all went by LEWIS, were: * Christopher LEWIS, born in Luster Co., Norway Jan. 18, 1835, found in 1860 and 1870 Dekorra township, Columbia Co., WI censuses - supposed to have died at Ft. Dodge, IA about 1886 - apparently single(?) * Ole LEWIS, born in Luster Co., Norway Nov. 5, 1842, married in Polk Co., IA Mar. 31, 1871 to Anna Nelson (Luraas), born in Dane Co., WI in 1851. She died in Webster Co., IA in 1885. They had at least six children including: ** Lemark Lewis, born in Webster Co., IA fall of 1871, had left Iowa by 1896 and died in Chicago, IL Sep. 29, 1940, single. ** Daisy Lewis, born in Webster Co., IA about 1877, was alive in 1896, but did not live in Iowa! ** Jesse Benjamin Lewis, born in Webster Co., IA Nov. 2, 1882, was alive in 1896, but had also left Iowa! Ole Lewis was involved in illegal land transactions in Humboldt Co., IA where I understand he was accused for having sold the same farm twice! He was "wanted" by the justice, but "took off". In 1889 he was tracked down to Guthrie, Logan Co., OK where his sister Martha resided at that time (see below), but when the sheriff went to get him, he returned empty-handed to Iowa since Ole was gone again! Then he shows up once more, in 1897, then residing in Austin, Travis Co., TX! However, as I understand it, they never managed to get him brought back to Iowa to stand trial! (In 1979 or 1982 I spent a whole afternoon in the Humboldt County courthouse reading official documents about this affair, but had to leave before I got around to read everything...!). So what became of Ole Lewis?? Maybe he escaped to Mexico? * Martha LEWIS, born in Luster Co., Norway Aug. 5, 1845, apparently lived for a while in Iowa, but had by 1889 ended up residing in Guthrie, Logan Co., OK. The cited document from 1896 referred to her as deceased "a couple of years ago", but she is found in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses residing at the State Hospital in Norman, Cleveland Co., OK! She was never married and is called a domestic in 1900. Can any more information be found on her anywhere? * Inger (Agnes?) LEWIS, born in Luster Co., Norway June 8, 1851, apparently also lived for a while in Iowa, but moved away. She was said to be alive in 1896, but noone knew where she was! I should add that informants in 1896 were two other sisters, Rachel Lewis Jutland (1836-1910) of Webster Co., IA and Anna Lewis Tang (1839-1906) of Humboldt Co., IA. So, now the big question is: Do any of you listers see any possibilities, for example thru newspaper items, to find further details about any of these siblings, Christopher, Ole, Martha or Inga (Agnes?) or any of Ole's children? Maybe obituaries can be found for some of these: *** Lemark LEWIS died in Chicago, IL Sep. 29, 1940 *** Anna Lewis TANG died in Ft. Dodge, Webster Co., IA Jan. 15, 1906 *** Rachel Lewis JUTLAND died at Badger, Webster Co., IA Nov. 12, 1910 Thanks a million in advance for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane

Ingrid and Greg. Thank you. Ingrid, I did cut/paste in the permanent links.......and they all showed up in my personal copy of the list inquiry. Apparently Greg, who replied (below is his reading of the word), also got them. I am not sure why you did not. I admit to being a bit confused by all of this. I would be interested to know if anyone else did not receive the links. I sent the first email as 'plain text'. This email I am sending 'rich text'. Hoping it won't all glob together as text in this new email. Back to Peder.........Greg suggested Peder Rejertsen Reinaae. Anyone else want to weigh in? That seems a very unusual name for Selbu--one I have not come across previously in any of my research.

Humboldt Independent 18 January 1906 page 13 Mrs Ole Tang, a former well known resident of this place but who lately had been making her home with son Wm Tang at Fort Dodge, died Monday morning. Mrs Tang was about 65 years of age and had been quite sick for a long time and her death was not unexptected. The remains will be brought to Thor and the funeral held from the Synod Church Wednesday

Dear Listers! I have another huge brick wall challenge to share with you today: Lasse Christopherson (1809- ) and wife Unni (Julia?) Olsdotter (1809) emigrated in 1857 to Dekorra township, Columbia Co., WI. Lasse apparently died s0me time in the 1860's, and about 1870 Julia Christopher removed with her children to Humboldt and Webster Cos., IA. From a court document from Humboldt Co., IA from 1896 she is said to have died about 1892, but I hav e never been able to verify this! Among her children, who all went by LEWIS, were: * Christopher LEWIS, born in Luster Co., Norway Jan. 18, 1835, found in 1860 and 1870 Dekorra township, Columbia Co., WI censuses - supposed to have died at Ft. Dodge, IA about 1886 - apparently single(?) * Ole LEWIS, born in Luster Co., Norway Nov. 5, 1842, married in Polk Co., IA Mar. 31, 1871 to Anna Nelson (Luraas), born in Dane Co., WI in 1851. She died in Webster Co., IA in 1885. They had at least six children including: ** Lemark Lewis, born in Webster Co., IA fall of 1871, had left Iowa by 1896 and died in Chicago, IL Sep. 29, 1940, single. ** Daisy Lewis, born in Webster Co., IA about 1877, was alive in 1896, but did not live in Iowa! ** Jesse Benjamin Lewis, born in Webster Co., IA Nov. 2, 1882, was alive in 1896, but had also left Iowa! Ole Lewis was involved in illegal land transactions in Humboldt Co., IA where I understand he was accused for having sold the same farm twice! He was "wanted" by the justice, but "took off". In 1889 he was tracked down to Guthrie, Logan Co., OK where his sister Martha resided at that time (see below), but when the sheriff went to get him, he returned empty-handed to Iowa since Ole was gone again! Then he shows up once more, in 1897, then residing in Austin, Travis Co., TX! However, as I understand it, they never managed to get him brought back to Iowa to stand trial! (In 1979 or 1982 I spent a whole afternoon in the Humboldt County courthouse reading official documents about this affair, but had to leave before I got around to read everything...!). So what became of Ole Lewis?? Maybe he escaped to Mexico? * Martha LEWIS, born in Luster Co., Norway Aug. 5, 1845, apparently lived for a while in Iowa, but had by 1889 ended up residing in Guthrie, Logan Co., OK. The cited document from 1896 referred to her as deceased "a couple of years ago", but she is found in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses residing at the State Hospital in Norman, Cleveland Co., OK! She was never married and is called a domestic in 1900. Can any more information be found on her anywhere? * Inger (Agnes?) LEWIS, born in Luster Co., Norway June 8, 1851, apparently also lived for a while in Iowa, but moved away. She was said to be alive in 1896, but noone knew where she was! I should add that informants in 1896 were two other sisters, Rachel Lewis Jutland (1836-1910) of Webster Co., IA and Anna Lewis Tang (1839-1906) of Humboldt Co., IA. So, now the big question is: Do any of you listers see any possibilities, for example thru newspaper items, to find further details about any of these siblings, Christopher, Ole, Martha or Inga (Agnes?) or any of Ole's children?

Hello Lars here are some items you may be interested in Humboldt Independent 15 September 1931 page 6 LeMark Lewis of Chicago and Mr and Mrs W L Tang of Fort Dodge visited at the home of their cousin, Elizabeth Jutland, last week. Madison Capital Times 03 October 1940 page 21 Former Resident Dies Stoughton friends have received word from Chicago of the death Sunday in the Cook county hospital of Lemark Lewis, old time resident of Stoughton. Mr Lewis was the oldest of the five children of the late Mrs Anna Lurass Lewis, a sister of the late Orrin Luraas of the city and who in the 90's resided in the building on E. Main st that later was remodelled and is now Aaron Schusters store. The other children were Herman, Bennie, Daisy and Millie and Lemark was the last survivor of the family. As far as can be learned the nearest living relative of Mr Lewis is an aunt, Mrs Isabelle Luraas Johnson, residing north of town.

Hon. CHARLES M. RYAN Hon. Charles M. Ryan, of Montrose, whose valuable services to his country and the state at large in the last state legislature indicated a knowledge of the interests and requirements of the state and an acquaintance with public affairs in general and with men that could have been acquired only in a long, varied and useful experience, is a native of central New York, born in 1857, and the son of John and Helen (Cahil) Ryan, who were born in Ireland and came to the United States in early life, the father coming as a young man and the mother as a girl with her parents. The father located on a farm near Syracuse at the village of Navarino, and from there he was married near his home on which he and his wife lived the rest of their days, he dying in 1864, at the age of forty-eight, and his wife in 1880, at the age of fifty-five. They were the parents of six children, the subject of this review being the third of the number. He remained in his native county until he reached the age of eighteen, and received a limited education in the district schools near his home. When he was thirteen, his own independent and self-reliant spirit and the circumstances of the family induced him to go out for the purpose of earning his own livelihood, which he did there for five years. In 1875 he came to Colorado and located at Colorado Springs and in that neighborhood he became attached to the stock industry and for a number of years was a range rider and cowboy. While neither frail in physical health nor wanting in manly spirit, his free outdoor life was a source of great advantage to him in every way. It gave him increased bodily vigor, heightened and established his courage, developed a broad and ready resourcefulness, and taught him the best of all lessons ever give in the school of experience, to rely on himself in emergencies, giving him at the same time a wider knowledge of and a firmer confidence in his own capabilities. Thus nature is always balancing her gifts to her children. Expatriating this gentleman from the blandishments of cultivated life, which might have been his portion had he remained in his native state, and laying him under tribute for almost every form of arduous effort and confronting him with almost every form of danger and privation incident to a life in the wilderness, through this very means she poured into his veins a strong and steady tide of high vitality and intensified his spirit with a daring and a comprehensiveness of power that not only carried him safely and successfully through the engagements then upon him, but fitted him for whatever might come in future. Essentially and by nature a man of high integrity, he met faithfully every draft then made upon him in the line of duty, and since then he has continued to do so, and with the augmented force he acquired in the discipline of trial through which he was then passing. The summer of 1877 was passed in a stamp mill on Summit mountain, above Del Norte, and after that he was engaged in prospecting until late in the summer of 1880, when he went back to the saddle and occupied himself in buying and selling cattle. Prior to this time, by thrift and business acumen, he had acquired valuable property in Telluride, making his purchases there about 1882. In 1885 he sold out his holdings in that section and, moving to Montrose county, continued to deal in stock and also prospected and located mining properties, being the original discoverer and locator of the Tomboy mine. His principal occupation in this region, however, was dealing in cattle, which he carried on extensively until 1892. In that year he was appointed superintendent of the Sunnyside mine at Eureka gulch by the First National Bank, of Montrose, which owned the property. He held this position during the summer and passed the ensuing winter in prospecting through the LaSalle and Blue Mountain districts, returning in the early summer of 1893 to again take charge of the Sunnyside for a few months. In the fall of that year he was appointed brand inspector for the western half of the state and held the office until relieved by a change of administration in the state government in the spring of 1894. The summer following was consumed in prospecting in the San Miguel region, and in February, 1895, he bought a bankrupt stock of furniture in a store now kept by Messrs. Frasier & Garrett. After disposing of this he became livestock representative for the house of Planchard, Shelly & Rogers, of Omaha, whom he represented two seasons in this state. Quitting this employment at the end of that period, he once more turned his attention to dealing in stock, in which he has since been extensively and successfully engaged, his headquarters being at his valuable and well improved ranch of four hundred and eighty acres ten miles northwest of Montrose. He has been energetic and very serviceable in connection with all projects for building up and improving the county, developing its resources and strengthening its commercial importance that have commended themselves to his judgment. When the County Fair Association was organized he was one of its first directors and mainstays, and for a number of years he has been president of the Livestock Association. In politics he is an unwavering Republican, and as the candidate of his party, to which he has given the devoted loyalty and service of his mature life, he was elelcte4d as county representative in the last legislature. He is a Knight of Pythias, with membership in Montrose ledge of the order, which has also felt the force of his intelligence, enterprise and capacity. On Christmas day, 1890, Mr. Ryan was married to Miss Clara A. Land, a native of New York city, daughter of John Scott and Susan (Haden) Land, the father, a Canadian, being an extensive traveler in various parts of the United States and a soldier in the Civil war, losing his life on the battlefield. His widow makes her home with Mr. and Mrs. Ryan. They have one child, Archie S., aged seven years. (Source: Progressive Men of Western Colorado, Publ 1905.

Dear Kathy and other Listers! Thank you very much, Kathy, for your latest message announcing the discovery of Pete Schuster in 1910! That's great!
