Here’s Anne & Ole’s divorce. St. Paul daily globe; July 2, 1886; page 2 FROM THE COURTS. The case of Anna Syverson vs. Ole Syverson, for divorce on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment, was also tried and submitted. http://tinyurl.com/nw6eugl

Wow, Mark, How did you find this? Amazing. I tried to print the newspaper but the font came so miniature I can't even read the headlines. Is there some way you would be able to cut and paste it into an email so I can read the story? And is there a way to verify if this is our Anne B. Larson, daughter of Botolv and Kristi (name / spellings as they were in Norway were Botolv Larson Eitorn and Kristi H. Svardal). Thanks so much.

That’s an amazing find, but I have my doubts that it is the same family at all. This article is up in St Paul, where there are many Scandinavian families with the surname Syverson. Where as Linda’s family was from down around Polk and Dodge and Mower counties and typically went by the Larson surname. I would want to match this newspaper article up with the actual court documents and witnesses’ names before I could say for sure whether it was the same family or not. I really have my doubts about that. Have a fabulous sunny weekend.
