Dear Mark and other Listers! Thank you very much, Mark, for your latest message! Ole Urnes from New Hampton, IA was also from Hafslo, but is a completely different guy! I am sorry the original "basic" information had fallen out of my latest message, but here it is: Ole Erikson URNES aka Ole Erickson born May 13, 1897 in Luster Co., Norway emigrated in 1914 to Lac qui parle Co., MN went as a soldier to WW1 and was apparently "killed in action"! Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.

My grandmother's only brother enlisted as a soldier in WW1, but when he was drafted to leave for the war, he had "disappeared". "No such person"!
