He was employed as a farm laborer and when not employed, made his home with

States. Leaving Camp Gordon, GA, he sailed for France and served until
being honorably discharged on May 1, 1918.  Returning to this community,
he had for many years been in the employ of Ingolf Motland.

The near relatives surviving him are: his mother at Hadeland, Norway; a
brother, Iver of Portland, OR; his aunt, Mrs. Gilbert Framstad; and a large
number of cousins.

Death came to him in an automobile accident on May 31, 1936.

Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. O.C. Myhre at the Rock Creek
Lutheran Church on June 3, 1936 and interment was in the Rock Creek
cemetery.
