These are the persons who had minister functions in the church: stiftsprovst, provst, sogneprest, prest/pastor, residerende kapellan, personlig kapellan. They are of different ranks, the highest one being ranked first I have chosen to use the word "minister" for all of them even for the ones belonging to the Catholic Church in Germany. Mrs. Ragnhild H. Paaske St. Paul, MN 22 May 2002 Look up's Forward The Pedigree I released in 1888 has some 28 years later, long been sold out. The family has asked me to prepare a new printed edition. This is much better as, over such a relatively long span of time, many changes have taken place in our family who has a relatively large number of family members. In this edition, hereby presented to my relatives, is included the first generation of female children, thus increasing the size of the pedigree quite a lot. On the other hand, I believe it has, at the same time, become much more interesting. By the new method, developed by ship broker Mr. Johan Martens in Bergen, the pedigree has gained two great advantages: firstly, all siblings follow each other, this simplifies the search for one family's members, secondly, the volume of the pedigree has decreased as we no longer have insertions for each generation. This new method is extremely simple. Any person, named in the pedigree, has its own serial number and by the end of each biography, the serial number of his or her children is included, and these follow, as previously mentioned, after each other, thus above their names are the parent's serial numbers and names. However, under the parents' serial numbers you will find some digits, read from right to left that might look very confusing. Actually, these digits are quite simple to understand. Imagine a person - the oldest among his/her siblings, whose children are to be named. You will then find, to the far right, the digit 1, because he or she is the oldest; the digits to the left from this number, give what number, his father, grandfather, great grandfather, all the way back to the forefather, Hans Lange, had among their siblings. If you find 9 digits, this shows that the person whose name is above the line, belongs to the 9th generation from the forefather, while the children that are to be named in order, belong to the 10th generation. Each name thus gets 2 numbers: the serial number in the pedigree and the number among his/her siblings. An example will perhaps clarify this method: Above No. 100 it says: No. 39 Marie D.C. Lange's 1.1.1.7.1.2.2.2 Nine children with Soeren G. Schioetz. This refers to No. 39, where Marie Dorothea Christiane Lange and her husband's biographies are found. Below the line you will to the far right find the digit 2: thus she is the second oldest among her siblings, her father is the second oldest and so on. Due to the war (WWI), which is blamed for much these days, much information is missing about the branch of the family that lives in France and in the United States of America. My letters are not answered and I assume they are either sunken or confiscated by the censor, for which there is nothing to do. The war has also prevented me, what was my intention this last fall, to travel to Holsten in order to personally carry out some investigations there. If there, at a later time, is time to do such investigations, and something comes out of it, this will be printed as an addition to the pedigree. Eidsvold verk, January 1917 Albert J. Lange The Name The name Lange is in Denmark, as well as in Germany, very common and probably originates from the village "Langen" in Munster, Germany. For this reason many members of the family called themselves "von Langen", however they did not do so in order to pretend being of noble birth. Others originated from "Langeburg" in Harz "dicht an Brocken". Our branch of the family for sure originates from there. There are several variations of the name, such as Langhe, Lang, (von) Langen and Langhen. It is probable that these variations of the name are caused by the German custom of conjugating proper names. However we have in Norway, too, seen examples where the name is written Langhe e.g. Erich Langhe, tax collector of Hedemarken, but he doesn't belong to this pedigree. Besides our family immigrating to Norway from Holsten*, there are also other families in Norway by the same family name. The family of Captain Jacob Lange, member of Parliament, does not belong to our family, neither does Supreme Court Assessor Lorentz Lange, nor Cabinet Minister Otto Vincent Lange, nor the Lange family of Fredrikshald (Concert Master Gustav Lange), nor does the family de Lange in Bergen belong to the Holsten branch of the family. Neither do we have any relationship to the noble Danish Family Lange, as a matter of fact, it is most probable that our family has no, nor has had any relatives in Denmark. According to Zedlers Universal Encyclopedia, XVI page 595 all people possessing this name before 1665 had, in their family device, a red mutton-trap on a white background. On the open helmet there were two buffalo horns, one white, the other red. Instead of these two horns, some branches of the family had two wings on flight, one wing was white, and the other one was red. Since 1665, when the minister of Elmschenhagen by Kiel, Christopher Lange ("Mr. Christophorus Langen") was married to maiden Anna Katharina Sperling (see the pedigree), the Lange family from Holsten, carries the device you find on front page of this Pedigree. This device is oval in shape, diagonally cut in half, of which the upper part is blue with a bird, perhaps a sparrow (German: Sperling), with a twig in its beak; the lower part is silver colored with a fish (Lange) motif. Above the closed helmet there are three roses. In other families of the same name, there are other variations of this device and alliance devices (Lange-Monrad). But all - as far as I have seen - have the fish as part of the device. * Today called Halden Survey of The Lange Pedigree of 1917 1st generation: No. 1.

Else Lange, 1799-1864 Married to Johan Christian Vibe All members of the family living today descend from one of these 7 siblings. In order to find your own family within the pedigree, you only have to look at the serial number of the sibling that you descend from. It is therefore very easy to do further searches, as by the end of each serial number, it is referred to the serial numbers of their children and so on. In this pedigree all siblings follow each other. (I also refer to the list of names!) The Lange Family A Gertrude Langhe (of the Holsten branch) lived in matrimony with Albert von dem Busche auf Hunefeld, Drost zu Limburg in 1450. She also had a brother. Hermann Langhe, first canonicus, thereafter scholasticus and finally decant in the county Munster. Johann Langhe (most probably also a brother) was on 12 April 1515 knighted by Emperor Maximilian I. Paulus Langhe, above mentioned Johann Lange's son, was a Franciscan Monk. (1) A Christoffel Lange, Hopmann (2), who lived at the time of King Christian II of Denmark, has perhaps also belonged to this family. He is known because he signed several receipts for receiving amounts of money, and these receipts exist among the Muncher cases of 1523, written in Platt-German. The first person, about whom we have confirmed information, is the below mentioned person. He is therefore considered: 1st Generation and Ancestor 1.1 Hans Lange I, who was born approximately 1525 in "Langeburg im Harz, dicht an Brocken". He is named in a mortuary speech of the above-mentioned Christopher Lange "Ehrenachtbarer und Vomehmer Herr Hans Lange"; when it comes to his position, it has not been possible to reveal it. However, it is not unreasonable to believe that he was master or owner of a mine in Harz where there for hundreds of years have been many big mining companies, and where many metals are found. He was married to "die Wohl Ehrbare und Tugendhaffte" Mrs. Catharina. About her, there is, among some relatives, the supposition said, that she was a sister of Dr. Martin Luther. As a result of research done by the publisher of this work, he has made the conclusion that this supposition cannot be true. The archive in Dresden and Wittenberg - has as far as the publisher has experienced, no such information. In addition to this fact, the minister of Schonkirchen, Magister Henrik Johnsen, who in a very thorough mortuary speech, wrote the biography of the minister of the Elmschenhagen, Christopher Lange, (see No. 3) would for sure have mentioned a relationship with the great reformer, if such a relationship had existed. Whether Hans Lange had more children, we know nothing. The only known child is Peter Lange. (No. 2) (1) About the above-mentioned 4 people of the name Lange, the publisher has, during a stay in Dresden in the spring of 1885, in The Royal Sachsen State Archive, found the information mentioned above. Various reasons, among them the device or **bomerket, the famous first names, their Holsten inheritance and more, make it reasonable to believe, however, not certain, that they have belonged to our family. (2) That is Hauptmann, Captain. 2nd Generation No. 1 1. Hans Lange's son with wife "Mrs. Catharina" 2.1 Peter Lange I, who in the before mentioned mortuary speech is named as: "Ehrenvester, Vorarachtbarer und Wohlgeachter Herr Peter Lange, 54 Jahriger Kirchen Diener zu Gickau" (1). Since the title "Kirchen Diener" is not quite clear, the publisher addressed himself to minister Mr. Mau in Kiel, to ask how the German clergy would understand this term. He replied on 17 April 1907 that "---der "Kirchen Diener" in Gickau ist zweifellos Pastor gewesen. Die Bezeichnung Kirchendiener dafur ist nicht ungewohnlich---". Gickau is located just south of the Selenter Lake between Kiel and Heiligenhaven. (1) Written as Giekau in Stieler's large "Hand-Atlas" Married to Magdalena Schaffnich (died in 1709), daughter of the minister of Gickau, Johannes S. and Elisabeth Giesen (only daughter of pastor Christopher G. of Gickau. Mrs. Magdalena had a sister who was married to Johann Nicolai, principal at the school in Toenningen. We only know 2 children of Peter Lange. (No. 3-4) (Insert Map of Part of Holsten) 3rd Generation No. 2 1.1 Peter Lange's 2 children with Magdalena Schaffnich 3.1 Christopher (possibly "Christoph" or Christophorus) Lange, born in Gickau on 7 February 1624, died in Elmschenhagen as minister there on 16 November 1694 at 8 am. He was buried at Gickau on 28 November 1694 and was "mit ansehnlicher Nachfolge zu seiner Ruhestat begleitet" as it says in the before mentioned, very thorough mortuary speech, composed by Magister H. Johnsen, and printed in Kiel in 1695. The information below is from this document. He came in his 10th year (1634) to the house of the above-mentioned person's aunt's (mothers sister) husband, Principal Johann Nicolai, where he spent 4 years and due to hard work and talents, people had great expectations for him. Thereafter he attended, for 1 1/2 year, the school in Preetz. Thereafter he was sent to Kiel where he during the next 3 years made good progress in Greek and Latin. In his 17th year he traveled to Lubeck, where he for 3 years studied with the famous teacher Principal Kirchmann (died 1643). 20 years old, (1644) he traveled after, an earlier given advice by Principal Kirchmann in company by a Doctor Dreyer, who later became a minister in Krummenteich, to Konigsberg. Here he came to know the famous philosopher Winckelmann quite well, as well as Professor of Theology Behm Sr. and made use of Professor of Theology Doctor Caelestinus Myslenta and Doctor Dreyer's information. (2) By preaching and defending. (3) Lucky and honest. He spent 4 years their "perando et disputando" (2), and boarded with the Churbrandenburgske Hofand Justisraad Reumann whose son he "dextre et dandide" (3) taught. Thereafter he made "in good company" a short trip to Lithuanian "to visit these strange places", and thereafter he traveled to Danzig to seek a position. As he did not succeed in this, he returned home, probably in 1649, and stayed there over the winter. He then became a teacher at the house of Samuel Praetorius, Pastor of Eutin. He stayed there for 1 year. He was then recommended by Chamber Councillor Cassius to a distinguished merchant in Flensburg, Dieterich Kloker, to listen to the very gifted general super intendant Stephan Clotzius's sermons and to serve him as research assistant. However he only stayed for 6 weeks, as he in 1650 was recommended by his friend from school and academy, Woldenberg, former private tutor at Lehmkulen (located near Preetz), to Colonel and Knight Heinrich V. Ahlefeld to Lehmkulen, Heiligenstedten and Krummenteich. Here he taught, for a very good pay, the colonel's youngest son of his "first marriage", Balthazaar (1) von Ahlefeld, heir to Lehmkulen, Heiligenstedten and Krummenteich. He spent 7 happy years as the young master's private tutor and teacher. In 1653 they both left for Rostock, where L. stayed for some time and also acquired all the professors' favours. In 1654, shortly before Mikker's Day, (Tax Paying Day) they left, according to the colonel's wish. For Helmstadt (in Braunschweig), where Lange was acquainted with the most famous men alive. Especially professor Christopher Schrader "considered him worth his favours, company and love". He stayed here till 1656, when he, as he was on his way to Strassburg, accompanied by his student, by the head of the convent of Preetz, was offered the position as minister of Elmschenhagen. He accepted the position after some time of hesitation; as such he considered the question carefully, and in prayer, until he was certain he could accept with a clear conscience. (2) However, before he left for Elmschenhagen, he visited Wittenberg and Leipzig, where he acquainted professor of theology Abr. Calovius and professor Johann Hulsemann, "theologos seculi sui celebrissimos" (3) and more. In January 1656 he finally arrived at Preetz, where he held his rehearsal sermon in the noble convent church on Shrove tide Sunday, attended by the Mother Superior, Mrs. Barbara Sehested, minister Mr. Jo. Otto von Buchwald and Mr. Paul Rantzau, govenor of Kiel and Bordesholm. On the first Sunday of Lent he gave his first sermon in Elmschenhagen and was by all patrons and the congregation accepted as the minister of the place. He thereafter left for Flensburg to take the recommended tests and examinations given by general superintendent Clotzius and 5 other ministers at Elmschenhagen. After being ordained in the St. Nicolai Church, he was installed on Mid Lent Sunday in his office by Mr. Tycho a Jessen, minister of the noble virgin convent in Preetz. "He was a zealous and faithful servant of the Word", his biographer says, "sincere to high and low, and he never showed anyone away without giving comfort and help". (1) The name Balthazaar came probably into the family because of him. One of Christopher Lange's sons probably was named after him. (2) Divine (3) Their century most well known theological people. On 22 August 1694, on Wednesday after the 11th Sunday after Trinity, on the same day, the general superintendent Mr. Doctor Josua Schwartz had done the visitation; he had to go to bed. He called for the minister of Schonkirchen, the before mentioned magister (Ph.D) Henrich Johnsen, to whom he gave his confession. As he got worse, he called for professor doctor medical Ludwig Hannemann, practicing doctor in Kiel, who saved no efforts and called for "all kinds of services and means of use", after staying in bed for "some weeks" he again acted in his position on the 20th and the 21st Sunday after Trinity, "not only on the pulpit, but also giving The Holy Communion, so there was no reason not to believe that he was, making progress". But on Monday next, he had a relapse, but in spite of an increasing fatigue, he, however, insisted on giving the mortuary speech on a deceased woman. He started his speech with the words from The Revelation 22.20: "Yes, I am soon coming. Amen! Come, Lord Jesus", but had to, when he had finished the introduction, and was beginning to say The Lord's Prayer, he became silent as his head sank down against the pulpit and he turned into a deathlike impotence. He was brought home without being able to finish his speech, for which he had chosen the text from John 14: "Blessed are the dead, who die with their Lord" and thereby referring to the deceased woman Beata. Without success, he tried to finish his speech at the churchyard, but had to go to bed and once more call for Dr. Hannemann. As no human means any longer where of any help, people asked the Heavenly Doctor for help through prayers and psalms. He prayed for the same himself, often in an unclear voice. He often exclaimed "Cupio dissolvi et esse cum Christo!" (1) A wish he was granted, as he, during his beloved's prayers and tears, with a smile and free from pain, he fell into the Holy Sleep on 16 November 1694 at 8 am, at the age of 70 years 9 months and 8 days. He had taught the public for 39 years. At his funeral, 2 obituary speeches were given, one 74 pages long given by magister H. Johnsen, minister to the Schonkirchen, and one, not paged, 61/2 sheets long, given by Mr. Arnold Maltzahn, minister of Kirch-Berkau. Both speeches and 4 Sonnets composed by his 4 sons Paulus, Petrus, Balthazar Otto and John Friedrich and even some poems, were published and printed in Kiel by Joachim Reumann in 1695. As these mortuary speeches are very rare, their complete titles are hereby included: 1. Die allerbeste Wahl / Eines rechtschaffenen Lehrers un Predigers.

Christopher Lange I, Married 1st time (in Preetz) October 1656 to Anna a`Jessen, died 1660, oldest daughter of before mentioned minister Tycho a`Jessen and "Mrs. Christine". In this marriage, he had 2 sons. (No. 5-6) Married 2nd time, in Bordesholm, on 28 November 1665 (same place he was buried 29 years later) to Anna Catharina Sperling, daughter of Dr. of Theology Poul Poulson Sperling (2), Principal of the gymnasium in Bordesholm and "praepositus" (3) over Holsten. He later became professor at the University of Kiel in addition to being praepositus. In this marriage he had 12 children, 7 sons and 5 daughters. Of these, 3 sons and 1 daughter died young. (No. 7-14) 4.2 Margrethe Lange I, born approx. 1626, is most probably also one of Peter Lange's children. Married to? Johann Jessen, minister to Wiehe (4) in Flensburg County. (1) I want to be free and follow my Christ. (2) This Dr. P. Sperling is probably a younger brother of Dr. med Otto Sporting the older who has become widely known; Through Corfitz Ulfeldts and Leonora Christine Ulfeldts history, for his faithfulness to his lordship and therefore was sentenced to prison for life in the Castel (dungeon) of Copenhagen, and died there on 26 December 1681, 79 years old. (3) In this context probably the same as: school director. (4) There are in Flensburg County two places with this name. Gross W. and Klein W. They are by the way located next to each other. 4th Generation No. 3 1.1.1 Minister Christopher Lange's 2 children with Anna a`Jessen and 12 children with Anna Catharina Sperling 5.1 Tycho Lange, died about 1 year old about 1658. 6.2 Johann Lange, died 15 years old "an excellent and promising youth" about 1674. 7.3 Paul Lange, student of theology in 1695. In connection with his fathers death he wrote a "Trauer - Sonnet", which is included in the before mentioned collections of mortuary speeches etc. 8.4 Peter Lange II, student of theology in 1695, is probably the "Petrus Lange", who became minister of Elmschenhagen after Christopher Lange, but he died already in 1702. 9.5 Catharina Magdalena Lange, no information exists about her. 10.6 Anna Christine Lange, no information exists about her. 11.7 Balthazar Otto Lange I, born in Elmschenhagen about 1672, died at Neu-Bulk in Danischenhagen in January 1749 was buried in the church (or from the church) at Danischenhagen on 24 January 1749 and was then named "der alte Verwalter". His funeral is written into the church book of Danischenhagen with the following words: D. 24. (Catholic 24 January 1749) am Freytage ist in hiesiger Kirche begraben der alte Verwalter Baltzer Otto Lange, dessen Sohn Berend Christopher Lange itziger Zeit Verwalter zu Bulck ist, und seinen alten Vater zu Neubulck unterhaltet; es wurde keine Leich-Predigt gehalten, weilen nur 3 Paare die Leiche folgten." (1) He also wrote a sonnet in connection with his father's death. Married, about 1700, to Susanna Oehlmann from Kiel, with whom he had 5 children. (No. 15-19) 12.8 Johanne Elisabeth Lange, born in Elmschenhagen 16. 13.9 Johann Friederich Lange I, born at the Elmschenhagen in 16??. He also wrote a sonnet in connection with his father's death. 14.10 Dorothea Agnes Lange, born at the Elmschenhagen in 16??. Was the youngest child, at least the youngest daughter. No further information exists about her. About the other 4 children there exists no information: it is probable that they (4 sons and 1 daughter) died just after being born, and that they are the ones referred to in magister (Ph.D) Johnsen's mortuary speech, but whose names, even though they were baptized, were not included in Johnsen's enumeration of the deceased's children. (1) In the first edition of this pedigree you will find further information about some of the many nobel estates (and their owners) mentioned, however, this edition does not find it necessary to include this information. 5th Generation No. 11 1.1.1.7 ("Vervalter") Estate manager Balthazar Otto Lange's children with Susanna Oehlmann 15.1 Bernt Christopher Lange I, born about 1714, was when he married in 1740, working as "Tafeldiener" at the house of countess v.

His father B.O. Lange died at his house. Married at Danish Nienhof in Krusendorf, but the wedding is written into the church book of Danischenhagen, on 8 June 1740 (1) to Anna Lucie Ewald, born at Kaltenborn in Danischenhagen on 11 March 1713, died in Danischenhagen on 14 August 1746.

Estate manager Bernt Christopher Lange's 3 children with Anna Lucie Ewald 20.1 Otto Carl Lange, born at Kaltenhof on 24 July 1740 at 2 p.m. and died on 17 April 1741 at 11 p.m. 21.2 Christopher Andreas Lange I, head of the Norwegian Lange family, was born at the Estate Lindau on 14 February 1744 at 1a.m. After his mothers death in child bed with below mentioned Anna Lange, he was 1 1/4 years old, sent to his mother's sister, who was married to minister Mathai in Danischenhagen, and was raised by her, even after she became a widow and lived in Preetz. He stayed with his aunt until she died when he was 11 years old, and her daughter was married to Regimental Quarter Master Chief Justice Clauses. He then lived for about 3 years with his father's brother, above mentioned monastery tax collector Johann Fr. Lange in Schonberg, where his tutor, confirmed him, in his 14th year, at the time, minister Scheitlie. (1) He then moved to Kiel as "Skriver- Dreng" (apprentice clerk) for "Ober- und Landesgerichtsadvokat" Lindelof. 3 years later he was hired by the county manager (non-political) in the county Rantzau, Petter Voss, who in 1764 was named general commissioner of war to Norway (he died on 28 March 1769), and followed him to Christiania (Oslo), where he from 1 January 1766 was hired as 2nd clerk at the treasury of the war office. At the same time, his future wife's mother's brother, Assessor Military Judge Jorgen Brochmann, was hired as cashier. When the war office was closed down in 1767, he received "vartpenger" (unemployment benefits) and later advanced to head clerk for general commissioners of war, Voss and Brocker. He worked there until September 1772, when he was named warehouse manager at Akershus Fort (Oslo). He was always a generally well-respected and popular man. His son, Rural Dean Alexander Lange (No. 34) mentions him in this way (2): "My father was a tall and statue like man (I think he was 72 inches tall), never heavy, but well-proportioned, without any doubt a very good-looking man with a healthy, colorful complexion which he kept until his death. I remember he even had a blush on his cheek after his death. He was a very kind and friendly man, but very serious". Insert Drawing of the house of warehouse manager Lange at Akershus Fort I do not remember ever having heard him laugh, but neither did I see him hot-tempered, scolding, swearing or cursing. The most extreme he ever said, when he thought something was really bad, was: "that was doch", quite awful. (Doch and och were the only words he said that made you realize he was a German. By the way, he spoke the most beautiful Norwegian, and helecturered extremely well and I owe it to him, that I read and talk quite well) He was very quiet, reticent to us, the children, and as far as I heard, he was the same to my mother and others. He was extremely diligent and he industriously worked from morning till evening at his desk in the little closed off room by the living room. For his no doubt complicated work and accounting, he never had any other help than an assistant, mostly for running errands. At twilight he walked up and down the living room floor with his hands in his pockets, idly making noises with his keys or small changes (coins), However, we children did not stay away from him, on the contrary, we hung onto his coat while he paced the floors and rode on his foot at nighttime. I doubt he ever corporally punished us. Only once, when I behaved very badly and cried because I was not allowed to go with him to Stabaek, did he touch me with the whip he had in his hand, but that made such a thorough impression on me that I have never been able to forget it. He loved us all, perhaps me not the least, and I cherish the highest respect and love for him. He and his family lived a very moderate life - according to his son Alexander's notes, which state the following: "The way of life was very moderate. For long periods of time, the children would have thin porridge made of rye and milk (!) in the morning, later on a serving of sandwiches and tea. Every night the whole family had rye porridge and milk; only Father and Uncle Brochmann had a sandwich each." (1) With regards to Schonberg and the Nobel maiden monastery of the time. See notes in the 1st edition, page 9. (2) Minister Alexander Lange's memories about his life and his time (1792-1863)- Published by Christopher Lange, minister. Char. 1905, page 1 If not by all standards a rich man, he worked hard and became a quite well off man. Which the below included poster shows. As a matter of fact, a burglary was done at his house, and this poster was probably posted at the Akershus Fort and at various other places in Chstiania and its nearby vicinity. The poster goes like this: Insert Poster with long list of missing articles  written in Gothic letters About his last years alive and his death, his son the provst, Alexander Lange writes: "The war in 1808 had certainly increased, but also complicated my father's business". The need for grain, that turned into a real famine, was the reason why people from far around were sent to Akershus fort's warehouse to receive small portions of grain (from 1/2 Skjppe (old measurement, bushel and up) in addition to other things. My father still only had one assistant to help him and had also assumed the responsibility for a lot of other tasks. Loads of books were handed over to him and kept in a big closet in one of the bedrooms. My father finally over strained himself due to the heavy workload and at the end of 1808 he got a serious neural fever. During his illness, I was trusted to sign his name on all grain orders and, I also think for bank orders, as I had been taught to write his signature as he did it. However, he recovered, but he started too early to carry out his very strenuous office work and then Anna Lucie suddenly died at Stabk on 8 December and he was not at all prepared for it. He took it very hard, because he, as the rest of us, loved this beautiful and loving woman. I clearly remember him, in bed, very emotionally making arrangements for her funeral saying: "No expenses are too much, she was worth it all". His illness got worse, his strength was disappearing, and the 3 best doctors in town, Moeller, Thulstrup and Baumgarten, of whom Thulstrup for a long time came to see us every night at 12 o'clock, could do nothing. My weak, but always when necessary, strong and persevering mother was not away from his bed neither day nor night. For weeks she did not take her clothes off, just had a nap on a bed in the bedroom. My father had been moved into the living room and the door was open in between. The night of 12 January 1809, she did as usual, watched over him. I don't think I watched over him all the time, but early in the morning she called for me and asked me to watch over him while she rested for a while. She strictly ordered me to wake her up in case of any changes. He lay quietly, almost as if sleeping. It was hard to wake my mother up. But it must have been even worse for her to be awakened. However, I woke her up when it looked to me as if my father's breathing was changing. She quietly, full of strength, which I very much admired, came over to the bed, and affectionately lied down next to him, and said: Don't you recognize me any longer, father? I don't think he gave any sign and without changing at all, the noble, faithful husband and father stopped breathing. He did not change at all, and looked just as good at his deathbed as he did alive. He was buried at the family site on 20 December at The Old Aker Churchyard. I can't believe how the circumstances in connection to his funeral have completely vanished from my memories. God praise his soul and let us meet again in Heaven! My mother carried her great loss with peace and quiet affection for God and she continued her undiminished and inflexible prayers for we the children, as already spoken of previously (2) About the conditions in Chnstiania at the time: The war and the years of scarcity that followed, brought so much need, yes. Real lack of bread, even among people you wouldn't expect it to occur. Our family, curiously enough, was not struck by the scarcity. We always had bread, and I don't think we made any changes in our moderate way of life. However, (1) This place in the cemetery is still owned by the family. Whether his first wife is buried here, is uncertain. However both he and his second wife and most probably some of his children; are buried there in addition to the manager of the national archive Lange. Erling Lange. Mrs. M.K. Lange and colonel *Halvard Lange have been buried there since 1861. *Secretary of State in Norway from 1945-65 (Labor Government). (2) This part, as well as a lot of other stories from provst Lange memories, is not included in the printed edition, they only exists in his manuscript. our fear of the enemy we never got rid of. There was a time, and especially some days, when you almost every hour expected the Swedes (sic!) to come, though not raiding. All people hid their valuables, we, too, without doubt, dug down our silverware under the porch stairs. I especially remember one day when we for sure thought the enemy was just outside town. The town seemed dead; I walked through empty streets and everywhere it was quiet. But suddenly everything changed. Count Morner and his cavalry and after a while more crestfallen, bad-looking footmen were brought in as prisoners of war. A huge crowd celebrated the victory. The good-looking, splendid officers were accommodated in the best houses, and without doubt the ladies made much ado about them and they enjoyed a glorious, happy life. The footmen were accommodated in the Exercer house at the fort, where people brought mattresses and bedding clothes, piles of sandwiches were prepared and huge pots full of dinner were boiling. Everything was swallowed down by the hungry soldiers. However, also in this case, people went too far though: The Swedes were over-courageous, refused to eat the food, took the cheese of the sandwiches and threw it away with these spiteful words: "Damn this cheese"! Married 1st time on 19 October 1775 (by permission from the king) at Upper Stabaek in Baerum to Dorthe Hoist, born at the Upper Stabaek on 5 April 1754 (baptized in Haslum church), died on 29 July 1781 after giving birth to below mentioned Hans Lange. She was the daughter of Hans Hoist, the owner of the estate Upper Stabaek (1703-1783) and Ellen Gunelle Brochmann (1718-1788). They had 4 children. (No. 26-29) Married 2nd time on 7 March 1782 in the castle chapel at Akershus (also by permission from the king) to his first wife's sister Christiane Hoist, born at Upper Stabk on 15 January 1758 (baptized in Haslum Church on 23 January) died on 20 September 1812 after being ill for 3 weeks. (1) About her, her son Alexander Lange writes in the mentioned "Memories": my mother Christiane Hoist was of average height, slender and lean. She was evidently of a more vehement and irritating temper than my father, even though I cannot remember having heard her say any hot tempered and unsuitable words to anyone. She probably was by nature a bit melancholic, and I well remember that she later in life said: "Please don't let God give you my dark mind" She was serious and strict, and used the rod, but few people have had a better mother than I had. Lange. They had 8 children. (No. 30-37) 22.3 Anna Lange, born at Lindau on 12 July 1746 at 6 am, died on her 12th birthday in 1758 at Heiligenhafen. No.16 1.1.1.7.2.

She moved to Petrograd with her mother when the mother became a widow. 7th Generation No. 21 1.1.1.7.1.2. Warehouse Manager Christopher Andreas Lange's 4 children with Dorthe Holst and 8 children with Christiane Holst 26.1 Anna Lucie Lange I, born at Akershus on 20 October 1776 (baptized in the castle chapel on 26 October 1776). Her godparents were: Judge Mrs. Voss, Mrs. Brochmann, maiden Karen Elieson, department secretary Monsen, Regional Quarter Master Brochmann and secretary Smith. About her the provst A. Lange says: "It has sometimes come to my mind, without me having any reason to think so, that she was not happily married". A more graceful, more blessed person I don't know if I have ever met. She was tall and quite strong, smiling and full of love. I many times looked upon her with awe. She probably had several, apparently good offers, but she did not want to remarry. She suddenly became terribly ill and died while she was at Balthazar's (No. 29) house at Stabk. I think it was during slaughter season. I seem to remember, that I came over and found Baltahazar kneeling at the floor by her deathbed, holding her hand. However. I don't think she any longer recognized us and soon died. She died 8 December (buried at old Aker Church on 16 December). See "gravvers" No.1 in the enclosures. Married on 25 October 1793 (by permission) in the castle chapel to merchant Albert Angell Gude who lived in Moss and died on 13 June 1801. He was son of Just Gude, merchant in Moss, and his second wife Ursula Cathrine Angell. Albert Angell had to give up his estate when he went into bankruptcy. They had no children. 27. 2 Bernt Christopher Lange II, born at Akershuson 12 November 1777 (baptized on 19 November 1777) his godparents were: Mrs. Elieson, Mrs. Zpfen, maiden Holmboe, General Lieutenant Poumeau, Royal Cabinet Wackenitz and Captain Schnell. About him, minister Lange says: "I did not meet Bernt Christopher until I was quite old. I think he left for Hamburg the same day I was born. He stayed there several years. I later visited him at the sugar factory in Frederikshald and also at Eidsberg. He was even taller than my father. He was apparently very good-natured and kind (sic!), but hardly practical and enterprising, not well suited as a merchant. However, none of our family seems to be fitted as such". He apparently had sugar factories both in Frederikshald and at Eidsberg. He did for certain live in Frederikshald until his death. He is also buried there. According to information in M. Arnesen's "Haldensia" 2nd book, page 48: he was not a citizen there in 1801. By the way, due to his age, he could not be so either. However in 1817 he is named as merchant of Frederikshald in the list of people with the right to vote. He died there on 15 July 1822 due to neural and rotting fewer and was buried on 17th July 1822. Married on 8 January 1805 in Frederikshald to Marthe Maria Bodom, born on 3 August 1786. She was the daughter of merchant Mathias Bodom (died on 13 June 1801, 67 years old) and Marthe Maria Hansen (born 1776, died in Vestby in May 1831). After her husband's death, Marthe Maria Bodom moved to Christiania (Oslo), where she for many years ran a girl's school. She died at her daughter's house, below mentioned widow Johanne (Hanna) Bergh's house, on Tuesday morning, 15 June 1869. She was not really ill; she had just been extremely tired and sleepy for a couple of days. However, she did not stay in bed and was able to undress by herself on the last night (however, she only wore a robe): in the morning she drank some coffee, however, with some problem. Then she wanted to get up without any help but she did not finish, she died without any fight or pain. She was during her last years very deaf. For this reason she used a hearing tube. (The editor very well remembers her; she was an exceptionally happy and kind lady, erect and looking well when she sat in her chair). They had 13 children, all born in Frederikshald. (No. 38-50) 28.3 Elen Dorothea Lange, born at Akershus on 15 February 1779, died at Bragernes in Drammen on 10 February 1811 (buried 19 February) She was baptized in the castle chapel on 23 February 1779 and her godparents were: Mrs. Monsen, maiden Wold, maiden Karen Rodder, Regimental Quarter Master Windfeldt, assessor Brochmann and Mr. Hansen. About her the "Memories" say: "She was, in my view, not beautiful, but very kind and friendly". I remember her wedding. It was quite a big party. We, the children, sat at a little table, and were perhaps getting a bit too noisy. I remember we got jello, which we didn't care for, and therefore for fun threw it up in the air and let fall down, shaking on the plates, until somebody noticed what was going on, and put an end to the fun. I traveled together with the newlywed and my parent to Bragerns and our arrival there has stayed in my mind as the most glorious arrival I have ever experienced. The whole street, both rich and poor houses, up from the Holters' house, which the church across from the minister's house situated was illuminated. Only the big house of the richest person in town, Consistorial Councilor Larsen, was completely in the dark. When we entered the house, my whole attention was drawn to a new and at that time very rare and costly, Alabaster Kabinet clock with a glass dome over it. His brother Caspar gave the clock to Holter, and I saw it at the Holter house at Hovig just before he died. Married at Akershus (in the castle chapel) on 21 August 1802 to a merchant in Drammen, later "overtoldbetjent" (customs officer) at the Akershus, Iver Andreas Gnther Holter. He was born at Bragernes on 21 June 1781 (baptized on 27 June 1781) and died at Hovik in Lier on 19 May 1860. He left in his position, after being honorably discharged, on 21 October 1855. He was the son of Ole Holter (died in 1792) and Magdalene Elisabeth Rodder. He remarried Wilhelmine Margrethe Rode on 10 December 1811. She was born in 1783, died 1838 and was the daughter of major Georg Frederik Rodder and wife Wilhelmine Stockfleth. He had 3 daughters in his first marriage. (No. 51-53) The following was written about Holter in the Drammensblad at his death: On Saturday (19 May 1860) one of our most honored and loved citizens, former head custom officer Iver Holter, died. He was earlier a very important merchant in town, but he was unlucky. He even came into deep debt, but everything has been paid back, even though it must have been tough as he had a big family, who was, however, brought up in a very gallant and good way. He represented Drammen at the Parliament in 1814. From what we have heard, he declared, like the other representative of our town, that we did not want a Swedish govenor of the state, rather accepted war. As far as we know, there were about a dozen others who were of the same opinion as old Iver Holter. His death is a shock to us all. The above is something we can all agree upon, because all people who knew Iver Holter, animoniously can make the judgment that he was in all ways a "nobel man", fair, steady, gentle and lovely. He and his older brother Casper (died 1810) continued their father's business (in the beginning, evidently in their mother's name, but later in their own). Everything went well as long as there were good trade conditions, but when the conditions got bad, everything collapsed. The unmarried brother was perhaps most engaged in the business, and it was perhaps mostly to protect his memory (he should not go into his grave as a debtor) that Iver Holter took on responsibilities, he strictly speaking, did not have to complete. He and his mother did, on 18 August 1810, get the permission of the state department, to have the estate's trade taken over and managed by an administration consisting of chief justice Wulfsberg and the whole merchants Peder von Cappelen and Morten Kirkgaard. Holter was captain and manager of Bragernes' Company, member of the compulsory military service committee set down by the parliament in 1814, and 2nd representative from Drammen at the parliament in 1814, and 1st substitute in 1833. He was member of the lower house of the Parliament and the deputation to king Christian Frederik on 10 October 1814. He was employed by the Customs in 1817 and served as head custom officer 1830-1856. He became "R.D.O." (Knight of the Dannebrog Order - Danish Knighthood) on 28 January 1812. 29.4 Hans Lange II, born at Akershus on 11 June 1781, baptized in the castle chapel on 19 July 1781. His godparents were: Mrs. Beuvius, Regimental Quarter Master Mrs. Brochmann, maiden Mette Elieson, Military Judicial Officer Flor and Lieutenant Lorentzen. He studied at the academy and was confirmed in the castle chapel on 2 October 1796 as No 4 of the 4 members of the academy. They were: Iver Christian Harbou, Thomas Christian de Seue, Gloer Gloersen Mejdell and Hans Lange. He died on 8 June 1799, 18 years old. His mother died after she had given birth to him on 29 July 1781. The "Memories" says the following about him: "He had probably caught tuberculosis at some camp. I only remember him as being ill (the author was born in 1792). He sometimes got better and came downstairs, but then he would get worse again. Once when we returned from church, we were informed that he had died. He was tall and slim". 30.5 Balthazar Michael Lange I. born at Akershus on 21 November 1782, baptized in the castle chapel on 3 December 1782. His godparents were: Mrs. Dring, maiden Karen Rodder, maiden Dorthe Brochmann, Major Bjoernsen (Bjornsee), prosecutor Wold and prosecutor Gundelach. He graduated from school (1) and in 1808 he took over his grandfather's (mother's father) estate Upper Stabaek in Baerum. About this estate and its former owner the following can be informed (2): It was owned 1709-1735 by Alexander Hoist - evidently the Alexander Hansen Hoist, who at Carl Xll's attack on Norway, was on the city council in Christiania - and from 1735-1780 by his son, Hans Alexandersen Holst. He was warehouse manager Lange's father-in-law. From 1780-1789 Nils Jensen Grav owned it and in 1789 an auction deed was made to captain von Sparre, but the warehouse manager took the case to court as a first-born-right case on behalf of his son, Bernt Christopher Lange, who had (1) Wilhelm Lassen had this in his papers about the family, however it has to be wrong. Alex. Lange says in his "Memories" that his brother was taken out of school and sent to an estate in Jutland to learn about farming. (2) According to teacher Mr. Tveten's information. received the right to provoke from his grandfather. However, he was only 12 years old. The records of pawns show that Calvary Captain Sparre in 1791 deeded the property to warehouse manager Lange, who kept and rented it until 1808 (in 1801 to Christopher Hansen), when he deeded it to his son, Balthazar Lange for 3,000 riksdaler. Balthazar's widow sold the estate in 1814 to department officer and district attorney in Aker, P.F.M. Heltzen for 42,000 riksdaler, Danish Courant. Alexander Lange's "Memories" says the following about this brother: "He went to the Latin school, where he probably was a lazy student reading little or nothing". His Latin papers, which I later got, gave away in their headings, much ignorance. (He enjoyed sitting at the ridge of the roof, and insisted that this was the best place to do homework). He probably had, as a little boy made up his mind, one day to become the owner of Stabk. My father finally took him out of school and sent him to an estate in Jylland in order to learn farming. It was not until he returned; we got to know each other well and became very good friends. We loved each other that dearly, and he confided everything in me. Yes, I think he shared his innermost thoughts with none, but me. My mother had without doubt, been very rough and strict to Balthazar in his childhood, for which he gave many reasons. I often saw a lack of real love between them. However, from reading my mothers letter, I know that when he got ill, he came to her at the fort. She gave him everything and her devoted love, and at the time of his death they were completely reconciled (1). He did not get old and it was probably God's way of taking care of him, as he would never have been able to feed a growing family (2) at Stabk, even though he did not spare himself and worked like a slave. The war took away his farm servant, and it was probably over strain that caused his illness and death. He was a beautiful man and one of the fastest young people I have ever seen. However (sic!) I can hardly believe that he jumped across an 8 "alen" (old measurement, feet) wide grave in Jutland. My disbelief probably comes from the fact that I never have been able to jump any father than a little more than 6 "alen". The young and enterprising farmer died on 23 June 1812 at 4.30. He had only been married for 2 3/4 years, had a son and his wife was pregnant with their daughter, to be born in 23 June 1812. He had just returned home ill from a trip to Denmark where he had been sent on a secret political mission by Count H. Wedel-Jarisberg. At his return he felt very thirsty due to the warm weather and went down in the basement and drank a big glass of home brewed cold beer. The disease developed into thyfus, and caused his death. He did not live till he was 30 years old. The "Memories" say the following about the funeral: "On 2 July he was solemnly buried at Haslum. Brums Jgere carried the coffin. Royal Cabinet P. Anker, District Attorney Heltzen and Lasson at Grini met uninvited. Holter was present. Hans Hoist and Christopher Holmboe went closest to the coffin, then Heltzen and Lasson, and finally Gabriel Hofgaard with 6 musicians, sent by Anker, went in front of the hearse, playing funeral music all the way from Stabk to the church. At the church Roverud and 3 of Lasson's friends sang Sonner songs. Hansson at Woyen arranged everything and had promised to help Ovidia Bistand. Married in the castle chapel on 2 October 1809 to Ovidia Margrethe Messell, born in Christiania on 3 November 1787. She was the daughter of former department secretary and postmaster John Andreas Messell. and Anne Ovidia Wangensteen. His best men were the clerks Hansen and Bryn. The "Memories" says this about the wife: "He (B.M.L.) conferred (1) You would from this perhaps draw the conclusion that he died at Akershus. However this is not true: he died at Stabaek. (2) However the farm had large livestock. with me regarding his choice of wife. I could give Ovidia Messel (l) my best recommendations, as I at that time had her as an ideal for a woman. I myself loved her romantically and remember well that I both awake and asleep, dreamt of holding her hand, not daring to dream of kissing her hand. I think that never happened either. However, her mother who was an educated woman of her time, tried in all ways to bring me together with Ovidia's younger sister. Finally, Bryn married Ovidia. I soon left and don't know if their marriage was as happy as I imagined it would have to be". Miss Maren Vinsnes informs us in her book: "In Drammen 70 years ago" about a visit Count Wedel-Jalsberg made at the B.M. Langes, while the wife was pregnant with there first child, the later manager of the national archive. The count toasted for the baby to be born and hoped it would be a boy, and in some kind of an inspiration, he made him into a archivist when he said: "A toast for the archivist"! The widow lived at Stabk for some time after her husband's death. She then moved to Drammen and later lived for many years in Cristiania in Peckels building in Pilestrdet (at that time called "The Wild Street".) Later she lived partly with her son, partly with her daughter. During her last years she stayed exclusively with her son-in-law and daughter, the Wrights, at Slotnes by Langesund. After the Wrights death she stayed with her daughter's son, consul Just Wright who lived at Slotnes by Langesund. She died there peacefully during the night of 1 February 1883, 95 1/4 years old. She had then been a widow for 71 years. She was buried at Langesund churchyard on 7 February 1883. She was very tall, but slim. 2 children. (No. 54-55) 31.6 Jacob Otto Lange I, born at Akerhus (baptized in the castle chapel on 19 April 1786). His godparents were Madame Holst (grandmother?), maiden Brochmann, maiden Wangensteen, Colonel Lieutenant V. Mller, Regimental Quarter Master Brochmann and "Mr. Brochmann". He died on 14 February 1787, only 8 months old. 32.7 Jacob Otto Lange II, born at Akershus on 1 December 1787 and baptized in the castle chapel on 11 December 1787. His godparents were: Mrs. major Krog, Mrs. Coucheron, and Maiden Leuch. Postmaster Messell, Mrs. Calmeyer and Mr. Dhli. He, too, went to the cathedral school. He was kind and diligent, but suffered from "some kind of fainting disease" (probably epilepsy), which often came very sudden. He had doves, and once - when he was 13 years old then - some young doves were out on the roof, and he thought they could not find their way back, and he asked his mother, who was in the living room cutting some fabric for clothes, for permission to go and get the birds. For a long time she refused, but when he continued to beg, she finally said: "Oh, well, then go". He went out on the roof and was soon down by the gutters, got hold of the birds and was on his way back when he suddenly fainted and fell down, head first, on the stones in front of the back door steps. The housemaid, maiden Jacobsen, was outside when it happened. She ran over, carried him inside and put him on his parents' bed. He was not yet dead, but the skull bone was broken. Several doctors came and they discussed doing a trepanation, but he died before they had decided upon what to do. This happened on 15 December 1800. His mother reproached herself for giving him permission and accused herself for his death. She went into a deep melancholic period, and stayed away from everybody's company, however, she had almost recovered at the time of her death. 33.8 "Dorothea ("Dorthe") Andrea Lange I, born at Akerhus on 5 February, baptized on 13 February in the castle chapel. Her godparents were: Mrs. Bull, maiden Wang, Major Hegerman (1), Manager Hermanstorff and Lieutenant Rosbach. She was confirmed at the castle chapel as number 3 of the girls, on 30 September 1804. The girls were: Georgine Charlotte Hermanstorff, Ingeborg Hasberg, Dorothea A. Lange, Karen Debes, Mane Christine Nielsen and more. The following boys were cadets: Christian Palludan, Hans Peter Lund, Niels Christian Beichmann, Engelhart Gabriel Jebe, Carl Christian Buchholtz, Jens Hoerby, Paul Hansen Birch, and Hans Jorgen Birch and from the cathedral school: Bernt Jorgen Hasber, Isak Muus and Abraham Muus. She died at the "widow seat" Sjo in Gran on 13 June 1867. The "Memories" says the following about her: "She was considered the most beautiful girl of Christiania (I seem to remember that Petronelle Juul, later married to Sorenskriver Thaulow, was the second most beautiful); but she was sharp and strict and did not care for nonsense. She evidently rarely met unfamiliar people and even more rarely went to public arrangements, of which there were very few. It has been told, that once there was a masquerade party at the Tomse-Salen, where the capital's Maitre du plaisir Captain Elisen (could be Elieson) was in charge of the tickets. The guests had to take their masks off, and he asked the ladies for a kiss. When Dorthe refused to give him a kiss, he tried to force himself upon her. She then gave him a box on the ear and walked straight in. I know of several who were in love with her, but I know nothing of any real proposals of marriage. We children did not care much for Lassen's proposal. We thought he was a bald widower and his father, the old Rural Dean was a real caricature, about which it was said that he had not treated his son's first wife very lovingly. However, Lassen wasn't that old, only 8 years older than Dorthe. Dorthe was quite cold and prosaic and they lived without any doubt very well together. I came to love Lassen very much and they gave my sisters, myself and my wife Christine much love and kindness, for which I will never forget them. The old Rural Dean never managed to overpower Dorthe. He rather had to change and accept her decisions. It was said that he had never accepted song and music in the house, but as on in many other occasions. Dorthe pretended not to understand. She was very musical, (and could play any instrument, even the violin), and played the harp and sang. The old man, red as a rooster in his head, had to be silent, or run off, if he didn't want to listen. He, however, learned to honor her, and probably love her too. Married on 22 October 1807 (by permission) in the castle chapel to widower, at that time minister of Gran, Albert Lassen, born at Gausdal on 16 January 1781 and died at Gran on 25 June 1835. He was the son of the minister in Gausdal at the time, Wilhelm Cornisch Lassen, (later minister of Nes, Hallingdal and at the end minister in Gran, died 1830) and Margrethe Marie Vibe. Lassen was in his first marriage married to Frederikke Christiane Krog, daughter of minister in Gran, Andreas Christian Krogh (she was a sister of J.N.L.K., minister of cabinet). Lassen had 8 children with his second wife. (No. 56-63) 34.9 Alexander Lange I, born at Akershus at 12 a.m. on the night of 5 June 1792. Baptized in the Castle Chapel on 11 June 1792. His godparents were: Mrs. Thorne, Mrs. Brochmann, and Miss Neumann, Colonel Bull, Colonel Ltzow and Captain Hagemann. Graduated from Christiania Cathedral School, second examination from the University of Copenhagen and theological university degree from the same place in 1814, all with the grade Laudabills (passing mark): practical theology examination at the University of Christiania, also with top score. (2) He received, already while (1) Probably commissioner of war Cay Didrich H. (1732-1800): the father of Didrich Hegerman who met at Eidsvold in 1814. (2) It is referred to his more thorough autobiography to be read in the earlier mentioned "Memories", page 13. *Same branch of the Anker family that Joni Anker belongs to *The most important of the founding fathers of the Norwegian constitution in 1814 studying in Copenhagen, "a letter full of love and honor from minister Lange" (1) in Jevnager. Where he asked me, actually urgently asked me, to become his assisting minister. My refusal, due to not being finished and not being able to decide exactly when I could graduate, did not help. He said he could wait, because he wanted me and no one else. I still declined due to my youth and fear of taking on such an important position at such a young age. However, he would provide me with "veniam aetaf" and probably also instruct and help me. I no longer dared refuse this call and through an arrangement by Councillor of State Monrad in Copenhagen, who without doubt was related to Lange, it was decided that I soonest possible should, even before I was ordained, come and help him. However, the Lord wanted things to be different. Lange died before I returned to Norway (1) In 1815 he became officer at the state department by the theological examination, and then worked as a private teacher for Aall. Minister of cabinet and in 1817 he was named minister in Stavanger and was ordained in Chstianssand by Bishop Soerensen on 27 February 1818. He had ordered his furniture from England, but had no clue, how to pay for it. At his goodbye visit at Aall, on his way to Stavanger, Aall gave him a folded piece of paper. That turned out to be the receipt for all the furniture. A present from Aall! About his stay in Stavanger I refer to "Memories", page 120, On 6 May 1839 he was named minister of Asker and head of the teacher college at the Asker. The family traveled on the steamboat "Constitutionen" to Christiania. In those days the passengers of the steamboats had to go ashore at night during long sea journeys (the boats only sailed during the day due to lack of lighthouses, and even sea buoys, along the coast) as there were no cabins for the passengers on board. When the ship arrived Frederiksvrn, everybody was set ashore by boat. When the boat had left the ship, Captain Steenstrup's voice was heard: "Should these remain on board"? as he held up Secunda, who was forgotten onboard. Thus came, quite unexpectedly, Lange to his brother's son, at that time he was a graduate of theology and a teacher at The Sea Cadet Academy (later manager of the national archive) Christopher Lange, along with his wife, 13 children and a maid, a total of 16 people! In a hurry lodging had to be found for all these people, mattresses on the floor in the hall upstairs for the children and the maid, and the host's own beds for the "provsf and his wife". He was provst in Drammen from 27 May 1854 until 12 November 1859. During a stay in Asker he was offered the bishop chair in Tromsoe. He, however, declined. On 2 December 1861 he was honorly discharged and received a pension of 600 spesidaler. He remained in his position until New Year 1862. "Until I got an assistant minister (his son Christopher, I don't think illness ever kept me from carrying out my duties in Asker"). (3) In the afternoon of 1 January 1862 he and his daughter "Dora" moved into his new home. At Colonel Brandfs field in Ullevoldsvejen just across from the Catholic Church, in a side building of the later hospital in Christiania. Here he wrote both his "Memories", from which I have allowed myself to render some quotations, and his "Memories for the Families", which he did not complete until 5 December 1863 In the fall of 1866 he had a heart attack. He thought this started developing already in his youth. The attacks came quite frequent and strong. However, the first few months he stayed out of bed, but only inside the house. On 23 December 1866, on his wedding anniversary, he was up and decorated the Christmas tree together with his grandchild, but he soon went to bed. He was prepared to die. He took farewell with all his children, those present, and on the last day he also said (1) Johan Joergen L died 1814i minister in Jevnaker since 1792 (2) See Memories*1 page 75 (3) See Optegnelser11 page 195 Farewell to his sister's children (the Dybwads and the Lassens), and peacefully died during sleep at 2 pm on 6 January 1867. In the "Slegtregister over en Holsteslegt (Helgelands-Holsterne)" published in 1915 by former country doctor (physician of an area) H.F. Hoist in Droebak, the following story about inheritance is given: "In the year 1871 the provst Alexander Lange and the other heirs according to the law", received an inheritance from a distant relative in Denmark who died in 1853. In accordance to a proposal from state department officer (of high rank) W. Lassen, accepted by all the other heirs (except 2), the amount of 1512 spesidaler 70, were given to the Diakonisseanstalten. The documents regarding this case are kept in the archive of the Diakonisseanstaltens, and kindly lent it out to be read. The following can shortly be mentioned: State department officer Lassen informs in a letter to the board of Diakonisseanstaltens, that he by accident had seen a proclaim in a Danish newspaper regarding an inheritance after a certain Madame Margrethe Thaarup born Grimelund, and due to his thorough knowledge of family names and family relations found that his family was one of the heirs, and had his mother's brother: "provsf" Alexander Lange, as the oldest (of those present) representative of the family; named as heir on behalf of himself and the other heirs not due to the possibility of any advantages; but exclusively because he was very interested in, "if I (Lassen) through my interest in genealogy could receive some actual benefits from it". After several unsuccessful attempts and after several years (assisted by the lawyer Liebe in Copenhagen), they succeeded in being approved as heirs. Following a statement from the estate manager of the late Alexander Lange, the inheritance was to be divided by all descendants of all siblings of the deceased's forefather, Liv Hansen Holst and wife Inger Monsen. As the share of each of the very many heirs would be extremely little, Lassen suggested in a memo, that the amount should be given away to Diakonisseanstalten, which was having a rough time economically. The gift certificate stated the wish that the "capital never should be spent completely, nor partly". The memo to the heirs is dated Christiania 5/6 1872 and was sent to the families Bergh, Dybwad, Hansteen, Heyerdahl, Holmboe, Hoist, Holter, Fleischer, Kielland, Lange, Lassen, Landstad, Lyche, Rode. Schiotz, Sandborg, Rolfsen, Vibe, Walnum, Wilse, Wright. The reason why Thomas Hansen Holsts male descendants were not included, had its reason, Lassen states, in the fact that the descendants of the son Johan Hoist had not kept the family name, and therefore according to him, should no longer be counted. From the amount inherited, according to lawyer Kildal's wish of 150 "spesidaler" was given to "Female Teachers Pension Account". It is however, neither Holst nor Lange, who should have the honor, to be named the one who got the inheritance and gave it away to a charity, but solely the honor of state department officer Lassen, who through his interest in genealogy and his untiring work through several years, reached this "really practical result". Married on 23 December 1817 in the Gran Church (married by his brother-in-law Rural Dean Lassen to Christine Aall Castberg, born on 14 December 1799, died in Asker on 15 September 1851, having suffered from breast cancer for 9 months. She was the daughter of warehouse manager Tycho Castberg (died 1801) and Helene Margrethe Calmeyer. They had 14 children, of whom 13 were born in Stavanger. (No. 64-77) 35.10.

She died there on 3 November 1885 (90 1/2 year old) and was buried on 9 a.m. at the family site at the "Vor Frelsers Gravlund" cemetery in Christiania. During her last years as she had during her younger years, she suffered from insanity with some good days in between.

Wedel-Jartsberg and lived at Vkkero until he got citizenship as a merchant in Christiania on 15 October 1824.

He went abroad in his youth to be educated as a businessman, and stayed partly in Holland, partly in Bordeaux, from where he returned in 1820 as a complete French "petit-maitre". This way of being him, however, soon changed. He even developed his fast and nice handwriting to look like the one of old Peder Soberg, whose widow he married. By this marriage, he became one of Drammen's most well off merchants. He was for some time Calvary Captain for the cities riding guard of citizens. He started an endowment ("Merchant Peder Sorbergs Legat") at Stromso worth 20,000 "spesidaler" in buildings. The value of the properties later increased, to make the endowment even bigger, (see "Morgenbladef" of 10 November 1872). He represented Drammen at the parliament in 1836 and 1836-37.

The "Memories" only says the following about her: Christiana and Else Catrine were, together with Sally Boyesen, my earliest playmates. Our games were probably very childish and immature. Jens was older than Else, however, there was such an age difference between him, and myself that we, this is quite common, thought we were too old to play with him. I cannot remember having him part of our games. When she became a widow, she lived in a little house "Slottebakken" in Hougsund, where she, on 12 October 1864, got obstruction, which almost turned into ("Miserre").

Balthazar Michael Lange's 2 children with Ovidia Margrethe Messell 54.1 Christian Christoph Andreas Lange I. born at upper Stabk in Brum on 13 August 1810, died in Christiania on 10 May (buried on 16 May1861), He was at his father's death only 2 years old. The mother was at that time quite well off, but she lost almost everything when the Danish National Bank went bankrupt in 1813. Lange remembered that they in 1814 sat at home gluing the so-called "prinsesedler" (prince money notes) onto big pieces of gray paper. They did the same with most old Danish notes, because of the very low value. He was first taught at home, under supervision of his mother's two cousins, the later professors Christian and Rudolf Keyser. Besides this, his tuition was not very advanced. After living for some time at a teacher's house up in Ringerike, he was, in 1820, accepted at Christiania Cathedral School. Rosted was principal at this time, and among the teachers were head teacher Albert Larsen, who by his interesting lectures awoke his interest in history. Already as a child himself, he was chosen teacher for professor Hansteen's children. During all years at the Cathedral School and at the university where he studied theology, he had to teach part time to finance his studies. He graduated from high school in 1827 and took his second examination with the same grade. He graduated in 1828 and spent the spring of 1829 in Kroedsherred, where he was taught by residing curator J.M.P. Kaurin, who graduated him in 1829 with a passing grade, graduated in theology in 1834 with a passing grade from university examination. During his student years, he did for some timework at Messell, Keysers bookstore (1). When he, during a stay in Copenhagen made his first acquaintance with the Arnamagnanske handwritten treasures at the university library in Rundetaarm, it did, for some time, look like his studies in theology would make him an ecclesiastical, because he was offered the position as house teacher and assisting minister for minister Andersen in Nes, Hedemarken. While his application was being processed, he was, in July 1834, hired as teacher in Norwegian, religion, history and geography at the Sea Academy Institute in Fredriksvrn. The King appointed him to this position on 6 June 1840. He also had a little bookstore here in order to supply the officers with books. On 30 September 1845 he was appointed "civil servant at the government's archive", manager of the national archive, successor of Henrik Wergeland who had just died. About this appointment, cabinet minister Holst said the following in his "Memories", for the position as Head of the National Archive, succeeding the deceased Henrik Wergeland, the Department of Finances, under which, the national archive, at that time, belonged, had in 1845 nominated their oldest confidential clerk, Horster. At the preliminary handling in the cabinet meeting, the votes were divided between several candidates. Some people, among them Petersen and myself, voted for candidate Lange, who for several years had been a teacher at the Sea Academy in addition to proving to have thorough knowledge of archives and old writings. When the case was brought to the cabinet meeting, Vogt and myself went into discussion about the matter, however, the result was that Lange was chosen. This has later proved to be a successful decision. He took up the position in 1846. and following this he asked the department to (1) Owned by professor John Messell and later university librarian Wilhelm Keyser. Later on the business was taken over by bookbinder Hoppe, who had been employed by Gyldendalske Bokhandel, Copenhagen. have information regarding Norway and also other information named by him; transferred from the Danish archives with reference to the Kiel Treaty and reservations made by the Norwegian commissioner professor Jacob Keyser, in 1823 following handling by the department of church, this case was brought up for discussion by the Cabinet, The Danish government was also prepared to fulfill this request however; King Christian VIIFs death and events following shortly after, are the reasons why a Norwegian commissioner (state department officer Lange) not till this year (1850) has been able to travel to Copenhagen in order to fulfill this task. On 18 October 1851 he was also named Stamped Paper Controller. In 1843 he got a scholarship from Trondhjem Videnskapsselskap to take a trip in Norway in order to complete his collection of Norwegian Cloisters' History during the Middle Ages and before. On 5 April 1843, he received a national scholarship of 200 spesidaler to collect, from Northern German Libraries and Archives, information about Norway's History. This work was done during vacation trips in 1844 and 1845. During negotiation talks with the Danish General Archivist Wegener, about the delivery of the Norwegian records, he was named Knight of Dannebrog. Supported by the public, he made trips to Sweden in 1853 and to Belgium, Holland and North Germany in 1857 in order to examination their archives. He was a member of the Videnskapsselskapet (Science Academy) in Trondhjem (1843) and in Christiania (1857), of Nordisk Oldskriftsselskapet (The society for Ancient Nordic Writings) in Copenhagen (1845), korr member of Witterhets, Historic Society Antiqvariatsakademien (The Academy of Science, History and Antiquity) in Stockholm and of Samfunnet for Utgivelse af Handskrifter Rorande Skandinaviens Historia (The Society in Charge of Publishing Writings of the History of Scandinavia) in Stockholm (1850), honorary member of Foreningen til Norske Fortidsminnesmerkers Bevaring (The Norwegian Association for the Preservation of Old Buildings and Monuments) (1853) and of Kongelig Vetenskaps och witterhetssamhallet (The Royal Sicence Academy) in Gteborg (1858). By royal decision of 5 August 1853, he was named member of a commission in charge of building public buildings in Christiania (along with town attorney Rye, Colonel Broch, Captain Irgens and merchant Thor Olsen). He was also named, by royal decision of 22 December 1866, chosen as member of a commission in charge of moving the Sea Academy to Carl Johansvrn or Christiania (along with the commanders Haffner and Krogh, Colonel Lieutenant Lundh and Beichmann in addition to department head Thurmann), but due to his illness and soon following death, he was not able to participate in this commission. In 1856 he bought the property "Venheim", also named "Nedre Schultzehaugen" in Aker (today in the center of Christiania) from cashier Grimsgaard. He died at this property from stomach cancer after being sick for almost a year. He was buried in the family tomb at Gamle Aker Churchyard. Funeral service by minister Fangen. On his birthday, 13 August 1886, his children erected a granite monument at his grave. He left a quite important library (approx. 12,000 books), mostly books on history and Nordic languages. These were sold after his death partly to the University Library, and partly at an auction. The National Archive bought his own manuscripts. His main work was: "De norske klostrers historic i Middelalderen" (The Norwegian Cloisters' History in the Middle Ages and Before). It was published in 2 editions, the last edition was slightly shortened. He was also publisher or co-publisher of Jac. Aalls "Erindringer Som Bidrog til Norges Historie 1800-1815". (Remembrances That Contributed to Norway's History 1800-1815), 2nd edition, "Norske Rigs-Registranter" (Norwegian National Registrants). "Samfunnet til det Norske Folks Sprog og Historie"(The Society for the Norwegian Peoples Language and History), "Norsk Tidsskrift for Videnskap og Litteratur" (The Norwegian Periodical for Science and Litterature). "Norske Samlinger", (Norwegian Collections), Kraffs "Norsk Forfatter- leksikon 1814-1856". (Encyclopedia of Norwegian Authors). He also contributed to several magazines and periodicals. Together with the later professor C.R. Unger, he started publishing "Diplomatarium norwegicunrf", where an introductory paper in the 1st book is by him. He also prepared the register to the 2nd and 3rd collection. While Unger all the time even after Lange's death, took care of the collection's language interests, Lange took care of the historical, geographical and chronological editorials. At his death, at that time bachelor of arts, later professor in history, Ludv. L Daae in Drammen wrote the following obituary in the Danish, "Illustrated. Tidende". "He never started research on historical works of the uppermost quality, descriptions of time periods and their personalities, historical ideas and their development. This clear ability to evaluate his own skills, and his ability to limit himself, is a quite rare skill. He knew that his abilities were of a different kind. His call was a different one. It was his task to publish monographs, written sources and pieces of acts by other researchers, rather than being a researcher of history himself. The sources that the new history of Norway once will be based upon, is the fruit of Lange's troublesome, untiring and unostentatious diligence. He dedicated all his life to this work and his love for his archives and his collections was the reason why he declined other more advantageous positions. His dedication was well known as a successful one, and he should be honored for it, as the position as head of the national archives was not well paid". A mourning poem about him was printed in "Morgenbladet" on 17 May 1861 (the day after his funeral). The poem was written by candidate of philosophy headmaster Hans Siewers and is found in the enclosures.

While they were staying in Hamburg, their father had a great loss by a brewer in Drammen (approximately 6,000 NOR), and he didn't find it justifiable that his sons were to stay abroad. He wrote them a letter in which he told them to come home. Shortly afterwards, he won 9,000 NOR in a lottery, and got a hold of his sons in time, to tell them that they could stay. After his father's death in 1854, Bertram was the head of the business (and from 1862-1865 the managing director of the Credit Bank) until he in 1866 was hired as a director in The Norwegian Credit Bank.

In 1853, during the cholera period, he was a cholera doctor, and on 2 March 1861, he was appointed navy doctor of 2nd class, and on 4 October 1869 appointed National Army Corps physician in 2. Akershus Brigade's District. On 1 February 1871, he established an orthopaedic medical institute in Christiania, for recovery of gymnastics. This institute - the first of its kind in Norway - won great acknowledgement and sympathy. He died very suddenly, with his skis on his shoulder, returning from a ski trip, on Sunday 20 February 1881. He dropped dead in Pilestredet, close to his home. He had suffered from severe chest pains, which occasionally kept him from walking. A few days before his death, he went for a three-hour walk from Oslo to his home. He was buried in the military section of the Christ Cemetery. Lange was an unusually strong, and there are many stories - both true and untrue - about this. He did not often speak of this himself, but this one story he once told, serves as a testimony of his unusual strength: While he was living on Storo, he asked three of his workers to roll two big rocks from the fields up to the farm, since the rocks were always in the way of the plough. The three men worked all afternoon, but couldn't even get one of the two stones up to the farm. They excused themselves and said that the stones were too heavy. The doctor didn't say anything, but after they had left, he took off his shirt and carried the rocks himself, all the way up to the farm. The next day, the three men saw what he had done, but they didn't say anything. From that day, he was considered a bit shy, and the three men believed, "It had something to do with a troll or the devil", Lange told someone. Like most strong men, he was very steady, quiet and phlegmatic. He didn't say much but was an honest and upright man, a faithful and loving husband and father, and a true friend. He never shaved, and had an unusual fine beard; he had - like his siblings - blond hair, and a figure that indicated his strength.

In the trial against the ministry Selmer (1883-1884) he was elected by the lower court's members to be the court's president, since the proper president was considered prejudiced (he had previously been working under prime minister Selmer). During his time as president of the court, he got ill because of the regulations (there was no vice president), and this made it necessary for him to make a stay at Karlsbad.

He died in Christiania after a seizure. On his death, the newspaper "Verdens Gang" pronounced, along with a portrait of him on his deathbed drawn by Eilif Petersen: "Former member of government, Jacob Otto Lange, died at the age of 68 1/2 years last night, after a long and painful disease. With him is a rare and noble personality, who has paid an important role in the political fights for our spiritual and national development, gone. Forestry master at that time, Lange became the President of the public prosecutions' court and that was a very good choice. Loyally and conscientious, he carried out his demanding work, which caused him an illness that for periods chained him to his bed. Despite his illness, he came back to his presidential chores, and virile and fearless, he insisted on the court's dignity. He paid an essential contribution to see that the court carried out its duties. For the last couple of years, Lange has lived with a very painful illness, - an illness that now has ended his life. But he lived with this illness at his faithful and self-sacrificing wife's side, he did not complain and his illness did not break his spirit. With a live interest, he paid attention to the political events until his death. Lange leaves behind him a lot of friends who all will miss him deeply, and who will remember his noble personality in a thankful memory." At the opening of the Storting's meeting 25 May the same year, Storting president Berner held this speech to honour Lange's memory: "I can inform you, that former President of the Lower court and member of government, J. O. Lange, died this morning after suffering from an illness for a long time. Member of government Lange began his political career in a stormy period of our country's newer history. He was given a very responsible post. In this position, he showed his characterizing fearlessness and sense of justice. He continued his political career under more calm circumstances, and I am sure that everyone who worked with him at that time, learned to appreciate his live interest for public matters as well as his rare character strength and love for his country, which coloured his entire personality and was reflected in his unreserved judgement of the conditions. It was this strength of character that held him up during his years of suffering. I am convinced that everyone who knew him will keep him as a dear and respected memory. Peace is with him!" He was buried in Northern Cemetery in Christiania 29 May. The funeral took place in all simplicity - according to his own wishes. Storting president Berner laid a silver wreath on his coffin with these words: "In grateful acknowledgement of the good and faithful work, carried out by Jacob Otto Lange in love for his country, as a member of the Storting, I lay this wreath on his coffin, on behalf of the Norwegian Storting. I also ask to add a 'thank you' from the many friends Lange won, not only in his personal life, but also in his public work. We thank him for teaching us, with his examination, fearless honesty, to claim the truth above all; but most of all, we thank him for his warmth and his faithful friendship, which never let us down. Blessed be his memory!" Prime minister Blehr laid, on behalf of the government, a silver wreath on his coffin; with warm thanks for all that the deceased had done for his beloved country, and a thank you to his noble and faithful friendship and pure heart. Coin factory manager Mnster laid on behalf of Kongsberg municipality, a beautiful flower wreath on his coffin, with warm thanks to the deceased's 30-year work in and for the municipality. Alexander Lange Kielland wrote about him: "So many times, I have thought about his hard faith, and his soft, good soul - I have never met a man so pure or virile as he was, a blessed and harmless soul with an everlasting love for life and everything alive. Death played maliciously with him, but he was always good and cheerful. Uncle Jacob has shone for me, and always will do -as the one who binds me to light and life, I am proud, that he has cared for me!" Lange was, especially in his younger days, considered a very skillful bear and elk hunter, and many of the forest's beasts fell at his accurate bullets.

At all times - at the loop "Breidablik", where she and her husband lived - there was an open door for the poor; but - not surprisingly - she was often cheated by unworthy substitutes towards her help and hospitality. She participated in every service in Old Aker's Church, and had her place in the stairs to the organ gallery. On 31 October 1849 Gisle Christian Johnson, born in Frederikshald 10 September 1822, died, while visiting his son in Tonsberg, after a few days' sickness, 17 July 1894, son of harbor manager Georg Daniel Barth J.

Graduated from Christianssand Cathedral School in 1839, the year after he took 2nd examination and in 1845 theological examination, top grade on both examinations. With a scholarship on 500 spesidaler of the Schytt's scholarships, he went to Germany in 1846 for further studies. He first visited Berlin, where he was a member of Hengstenberg, and then he left for Leipzig, where he amongst others heard Harless, and his future friend and colleague at the University of Christiania, C. P. Caspari, who at the time was in Leipzig teaching in the Old Testament. He then went to Erlangen, "where he for the first time in Germany found a theological faculty, that truly could be said to be part of the Lutheran Church". After a short stay in Tbingen and Heidelberg, he visited Paris before returning to Norway in 1847. He spent some time in Christiania, giving private lessons in theology, until 2 July 1849 he was appointed lecturer in theology at the university. 16 May 1860 he was promoted professor. With this post, in 1855-74 he united the teacher's study of education with the practicing theological seminar. As professor, he gave lessons in systematic theology, dogma history and theological encyclopedia, in the later years (from 1877), also history of the church. Through his teaching, book writing and partaking in the practical Christian-life work, he has had great influence on the theologians of his time and the entire Norwegian church. He played a relevant part in the founding of "Society for Internal Mission" in Christiania (1854), "The Norwegian Lutheran Foundation" (1867), the Deaconess Institution (1868) and the "Students' home" (1871). He was also for several years one of the leaders for Christian reform works in Norway. From 1854, he was a member of the central committee of the Norwegian Bible-Company, the "Committee for support to the needy Lutheran churches abroad" (from 1858), and "Christiania committee of voluntary church-meetings" and also in the management of the Deaconess Institution.

In 1883 he was appointed postmaster of Kongsvinger. He owned Ulvon by Christiania, but it was not useful to him, as he didn't want to sell it nor rent it out. After his death, his ancestors took over the island and made an incorporated company of it before they sold it in 1915.

In 1870 he was appointed Preacher at Court and preached at several occasions in the Slotts-Chapel. (Royal Chapel) In 1863 he was appointed temporary curate in Frederiksstad and in 1883 vicar in the newly established Western Frederiksstad parish, from where he in 1903 resigned because of his old age. In his church, he was surrounded by a warm love, which was expressed when he in 1901 celebrated his 50th anniversary as a clergyman. Among his many experiences, Vibe lingered with a partiality for his trip around the world in 1875. He went to America to visit his fellow countrymen, traveled through the States and crossed the sea to get to Japan, further deep into China, to India, Egypt, over to Italy, France and then home. But his most treasured memories are from his stays in the high mountains. Even in his late seventies, he was an athlete and one could often see him walk around in Frederiksstad - even in cold weather - not wearing a jacket. The first 20 years he lived there, he went to Roldal every fall to hunt up in the mountains, where he had built his own shooting lodge. When he got older, he was accompanied by one or two leaders who carried his equipment and food for him, but still he could walk the plains for days. He spent the nights in rock caves in his sleeping bag, and defied even the strongest snowstorms. He wasn't just cherished as a clergyman; he had also many friends outside the church. He was a high ranked freemason, a member of the Wasa-order and also a board member of Frederiksstad State-Library.

Began at Stavanger School of Latin in 1855, wherefrom he graduated in 1867, took his 2nd examination and in 1871 his juridical examination. "To his fellow students, Alexander Kielland was just one of the many who studied at the university and graduated when it was time." One of his fellow students, A. M. St. Arctander, the later famous folk high school teacher, wrote in his critics on "Arbeidsfolk" ("Workers"): "In the big swarm of 150 graduates, I didn't really notice Kielland nor do I remember anyone else paying much attention to him". When he had graduated, he went home and was licensed a solicitor, but has never really practiced this profession as such. Shortly after this, he bought Malde tile works in Stavanger, which he ran until the fall of 1881, after selling it to a joint venture in the spring. As an employer, he knew how to win his employees devotion (see "Stavanger Amtstidend" 1882 issue 11). In the spring of 1878 he went against his father's wish and left for Paris to look around. He stayed there during the fall. At this time, he had already - though in greatest secretiveness - published a few short stories, under pseudonym, in Dagbladet (Daily Newspaper), some of these were later published in his book "Noveller" ("Short Stories"). Shortly afterwards, he published the short story "Paa hjemvejen" ("On the Way Home"), using his full name, in "Nyt Tidsskrift " ("New Time Magazine"). His writing skills attracted great attention: "It was in the middle of the heat of the summer, most people spent their holiday in Christiania. But those who were left and could read spent the evenings on their porches, discussing and debating the new piece. Those who subscribed to the magazine had to loan it out. The skilled men knew, and the unskilled felt, that he was more than a new author, he was a new force" (Nyt Tidsskrift VI 147). In Paris, Kielland wrote and rewrote new short stories, and after his return, he prepared the publication of the little collection "Novelletter" ("Short Stories"), which came out in April 1879. In 1881, he moved to Copenhagen with his family and lived there until 1883, when he moved back to Stavanger. He lived on the old "Kiellandgaard", and every summer, he lived near Aarre on Jderen. From 1880, his more famous work came out: Nye Novelletter ("New Short Stories"), For Scenen ("For the Stage"), Garman & Worse, Arbeidsfolk ("Workers"), Else, Skipper Worse, To Novelletter from Danmark ("Two Short Stories from Denmark"), Garman & Worse (play by Edv. Brandes and A. L. Kielland), Gift ("Poison"), Fortuna, Sne ("Snow"), Tre par ("Three Couples"), Bettys formynder ("Betty's Guardian"), Sankt Hans Fest ("Midsummer Day Celebration") and Professoren ("The Professor"). All of them attracted great attention, and everyone was very exciteted when Kielland was to publish a new book. As a meteor, he came, and as a meteor, he disappeared. After 1888, he didn't publish any belletristic work, but sacrificed himself to his profession. In the Norwegian history of literature, Alexander Lange Kielland will forever stand as a fresh, and strong breath of wind, which hit him were it was aimed. Or, as he himself expresses it in a letter to a friend in Norway with a copy of "Novelletter": "--- I know it is little, but it is little by little I shall help. For I am no tremendous giant, you will never see me swinging a sword, leading the way for anything at all. I am more like the soft Marquies (counts) in the French novels, of which only their closest friends know, that they lead a safe and pliable chord when necessary. The chord is my weapon, and with it, I cheat, - in the big, rumbling fights I am quite to spare. Let us not argue on, what is the greatest, - the smallest is great enough, as long as it helps. But I will not hide, that in my opinion, a little brush prick applied with a deft hand, can equate with a tremendous battle like on the Day of Judgment. Little pricks, I sprinkle in what I write, you will see them, too, and I hope they please you. It will soon come some more; I am on the move, and it seems to be going light." The correctness of this statement confirms his following rapid and great production. In the winter 1886, he went to his residence in Paris. He went back to Stavanger in 1888, and from New Year 1889, he took over as the editor of Stavanger Avis (Daily Newspaper of Stavanger), a position he withdraw from at the end of the year. However, he stayed on the family estate, which he - until he moved to Molde - only left for a visit to Copenhagen (in 1890), to B. Bjornson's estate in Aulestad, or for his usual summer stay's at Aarre" (Halvorsens Forfatterleksikon III, to which I refer to, as this also treats the famous "Kielland-Case" in the Storting, where Kielland was denied the proposed poet's salary.) The publisher of this book spoke once with vicar Lars Oftedahl, - while we were both waiting for audience with King Oscar II - of Alexander Lange Kielland. I had expected to hear bitter words from the clergyman, as Kielland had stung him quite strongly with his "chord", but no! He expressed himself candid enthusiastically about his authorship. "But once, he told a lie about me. That was when he said that I had preached for almost empty pews, because that has never happened!" In 1889 Kielland was constituted mayor of Stavanger and in 1902 he was appointed county administrator of Romsdal, with residence in Molde. Kielland won great merit as a result of his wise arrangements at the unfortunate city fire in Aalesund. 21 January 1896 he was appointed to Knight of St. Olav's order, for "literary merit and merit in office".

In 1866- 1867 he studied in France and Italy. After his return, he was hired as the artistic director at Christiania Theatre, but resigned already on 1 June 1868.

He also had a travel scholarship, so that he could make some examination in the Public Library of Copenhagen. On 28 March 1871, he got a doctor's degree in philosophy for his treatise on "Ludvig Holberg as a Comedy Author". In 1875 he received an official scholarship so that he could carry on with his history of literature studies in France and England. During his stay abroad, the government proposed an offer to the Storting in 1876 - due to an election held at the University's faculty of history and philosophy - to establish a new position for a professor in European history of literature, meant for Skavlan. The Storting, however, declined this proposal this year, but when the same proposal came up the next year, the new position as established. Skavlan was appointed 26 June 1877, and was paid as "extraordinary professor" of the subject. He started working on 17 September 1877, with a lecture on the modern history of literature science' point of view compared to the "regular" history, where after he gave lectures in England's early history of literature, France on Louis XIV's time in the following semesters. Due to bad health, he stayed with his family in Switzerland and Italy from November 1882 to July 1883. In the last decade of his life, he kept busy with a greater work on Henrik Wergeland, but he didn't manage to finish it. However, his wife has published it with an introduction written by Professor J. E. Sars in 1892. Together with Sars, he published from 1882-1887 "Byt Tidssrift" ("New Magazine"). In the latter part of January 1891 he started on the second part of his lectures on Shakespeare, but his illness forced him to give them up.

APPENDIX No. 1 Verse By The Grave 12 January 1809 "In the occasion of my beloved father-in-law, Mr. Magazine Manager Christopher Andreas Lange's death, 12 January 1809." "O death! You're mercilessness has taken another life, Which numerous children asked heaven to extend? We cried bitter tears, father! By your grave, Our prayer did not seem to reach heaven. You are gone, you, who mildly gave everything life, By tenderness, love, and a thousand sweet virtues, That mourned when you as a victim fell For the necessity that comes over us all. Stop it, unholy hand! Do not humiliate that man, Which true virtue you cannot measure. His value can't be described, only be felt, Lay down your tired pen, let the reputation speak alone! As a faithful husband, as a father, citizen, friend, He's missed everywhere; you can never find someone like him again; You were - as we spoke by your deathbed - So much too virtuous for this world. O, mother! You, who found him in your life's desire, You cry over him, we want to share your pain. Cry out loud, the tears will ease your burdened chest. Don't keep it inside, or your heart will burst. Cry, all who can cry, but do not despair! Despaired grief does not suit a real Christian; Through the graves awful night, there's a way To eternity, where the father of virtue judges. There we will see you again, explained to see, What will own you forever, and what great loss we now cry for, There, you will not rule, o death! With mercilessness Once again hurt us and take our silent joy, Our bitter grief shall not disturb your rest; Soon we will also come live with you, Soon you will in the land of Peace us welcome with a smile!" Albert Lassen No. 2 "At Magazine Manager Lange's Death" "Safe in the grave dropped Tired wonderer down; As his nobleness suited, Was his walk of life? Therefore we must bind him Of forgetfulness not a wreath; That around old man's forehead Shall radiantly sparkle. Silent grave, your hollow bosom, Will protect his body! As your life, your sweet sleep, Shall die, virtue's friend!" No. 3 "By Madame Christiane Lange's Grave" 28 September 1812 "Silent and unnoticed / you walked the path that was shoed to you. / Not by rank, not by wealth, not by talent; / not by anything, what the world values / you draw attention; / not even your heart's pious emotions / you understood to show to others. / You were unknown / and / of those, who judged without trying, / you were a stranger. / But those, who know your true value / who respected the life of your quiet home, / and did not expect of you / what you would never seem to be or possess: / You offered your unconditional respect and devotion; / for you were / a noble woman / a loving wife, / a mother, who's soul is still whole, / a friend, not in words, but in action and truth. / You humbly bore the sufferings, / that the Almighty out on you. / You fell calmly asleep in your faith in Him / and in the hope of a better life. / Heal you! / The wormwood jug is empty, / and where you are now, / there's no sorrow and no loss. / But you are bitterly missed by your loving children; / also your limited circle of friends miss you deeply / and will miss you for a long time. / We, who knew you and loved you / will treasure your memory greatly! " Pavels. No. 4 "By Anne L. sal. Gude, born Lange's Death" 8 December 1808 "Who felt for quiet virtue? Who felt, it was never here to find; And cried a tear for To see a pattern on it disappears? Often beauty magically won Glory and honor that it did not deserve; But never we saw a rose Renounce a beauty, which it was not fully to have. We sight, though our sigh is split; It can't, and our cry can't awake The paragon of virtue, which For the death's merciless weapon had to fall!" Schoenning. No. 5 Mourning poem to state archivist Christian C. A. Lange 16 May 1861 While the spring covers your naked beach And the singer cheers in the forests, The message of grief hits, o fatherland! Down in your poor valleys, Oh! A lamp, that in many nights Was a light in the dawning hours? It waves only palely, it fights with the dark, It will soon be over - it blew out abruptly Christian Lange has closed his eyes! His soul flies upon the bright roads! Oh! Heavy from tears is the winter's escape By the crying from his dearest belongings. His old mother, his children, his wife Have bowed in burning prayers. O! Norway kneel! From such sons Grows and blooms your spiritual life. Soon the night will be over, and the sun will rise, Already the birds welcome it with their cheering mouths; Soon the liberty morning's bud will spring With a scent all over Norway's groves; Then the day shines over a tomb, That hides a precious memory But fellow countrymen's gratitude shall find the grave And love's flower shall there bloom. (Hans Siewers.) No .6 At Christian C. A. Lange's Funeral 16 May 1861 (Melody: "Av hoeytiden opprunden er") His battle's over, his peace has begun; From the chair of the lamb he has been told of An eternal victory's happiness. Now he can't look back anymore Towards the absent dawn's light, Where doubt pressed the thought. His memory Is now Blissfully lightened His eyes fixed Free and right On God's sun in the land of mercy. He sees in the blood of Jesus Christ The wonderful scarlet river Where all sin is left behind; He sees the table of the heavenly King, The bread of life in the word of the Lord, Which satisfies all hunger. His soul Has taken part In the great Heavenly choirs In the honor Of self being the guest of the Lord. What more do we want? - O Jesus Christ, Only a prayer for the many left In the home's chamber of grief! Stay with them with your rich comfort, Let mother, wife and children hear Your voice in their crying! From faith To faith Let them rise! Let your kingdom More and more Entrance wins, in your honor! P. A. Jensen. No. 7 At the 50 year Anniversary in Sandherred Vicarage 13 September 1905 RAILWAY SONG Scherzando. From us, a song you should have, But I don't know how it will turn out, For with Albert Lange, And his many jokes, Can my sweet spirit not be expressed? It is tough Oh, how sad, To make it rhyme is not easy. Andante. Bells are ringing, a song is heard From old Asker church, And from there trembles the sound of Sunday Over all your work; But Sandherred's vicarage With thrushes and the trills of a lark Gave everyday life's underground Where the smile still plays. And the vicarage stands by the church The peace was present In these Lord's fifty years, When you could work with joy, God's peace stands as a shield around the house And makes plusses out of minuses, - And therefore, your fall is spring, Dear uncle Christinus. Scherzando. No, this here will be another dance, Our conservator lacks an ethic sense, - hear - no, think, if aunt Petra only knew How you ruin this stanza's solemn glory, Ashamed, I find my way, Dearest aunt, swiftly to you. Andante. The light, curly siblings From old Castberg's time, Your eye sparkles; you can surely see them, Smilingly, how they stride; The blond curls came with them, They shine blissfully, joyously, In the second and third line, The same flock you can find. And grandmother, who showed them, Where duty and pleasure meet, She's in their homes, In everything that is built and replaced. And so it slid for fifty years, And now, on the old stool, They bless their grandmother's gray hair, The entire, curly group. Si. 98 1
