Perhaps Ole was married and divorced before Gunhild? Did Gunhild remarry after Ole died,I can't find her in the 1900 or 1910 censuses? If you don't have a family Bible that list's biths, deaths and marriages then church records might yield some results. Baptismal records should give info as to birthdate, parents and sponsors.
