Also shown on page are Christopher Mogen, his wife Mary (Olsdatter Lia) Mogen (who is also a daughter of Ole O. Lia and half sister of the above Lia Children) and their daughter Julia Mogen age 3/12 The name Julia and the age 3/12 is incorrect. Daughter would have been Gunil as Julia was not born until 17 Dec 1882. Census Enumerator is none other than Christopher Gulson Rud who is the brother of Live (Gulsdatter Rud) Lia. | |
| 38 | | 1885 State and Territorial Census - Vernon Township, Dodge County, Minnesota Ole O. Lia and Herbrand O. Lia Families | |
| 39 | | 1900 US Census Pleasant Valley Township, Marshall County, South Dakota US Census Enumerator is Ole A. Hagan - and the first household listed is his - showing wife Maline Heltne and children. Sørine O. Lea appears in the household of her brother John O. and his wife Ingeborg (Olsd Vatnås) Lea. The household of the Torger & Berthe Karine (O. Lea) Gronseth Family is farther down the page. A lastly, we have the household of Torger's brother Torsten Gronseth with wife Anne (Knudsd Ingeborud) and son George There are no first cousins in this group but the relationships among these persons are many. In brief, and ignoring the sibling and marriage relationships: Ole Hagen is cousin to the Leas; Leas are cousins to the Gronseths; Gronseths and Leas are cousins to Ingeborg Vatnaas; Leas are cousins to Anne Ingeborud. Anne Ingeborud was born in Flesberg, Buskerud, Norway. Gronseth brothers and Ingeborg Vatnaas were born in Sigdal, Buskerud, Norway Lia siblings (Father was Vernon Township Pioneer Ole Olsen Lia) and Maline Heltne (Grandfather was Vernon Township Pioneer John Petersen Tverberg) were born in Vernon Township, Dodge County, Minnesota.

| 40 | | 1900 US Census Vernon Township, Dodge County, Minnesota - Ole O. Lia Ole O. Lia is shown with daughters Anna and Oline. Also shown is unmarried niece Anne and her daughter Emma. Anne would be daughter of Herbrand O. Lia | |
| 41 |  | 1907 "Sarah Lee" Land Patent. 160 Acres near Alkabo, Divide County, North Dakota The pioneer spirit which had moved her Father (after 1852), Maternal Grandfather (1858) and her Mother (1859), to leave homes in Norway and venture to "Amerika", led the unmarried, Sørine O. Lea, to make her way to what was then Williams County, North Dakota. (Divide County was "divided" from Williams County a few years later.) Notes from her daughter Agnes Brown, state that Sørine taught school in Alkabo. This would have been prior to her meeting and marrying William Myron Brown. (We need more detail about this period.) Sørine's "Alkabo" land is located about 20 miles west of the Ambrose, North Dakota Brown Farm. Around the time that Sørine and William did marry, this "Alkabo" parcel was exchanged (by process yet unknown) for the 1/4 Section adjoining the existing William Myron Brown farm in Ambrose. The North 1/2 of Section 9, Township 163 North, Range 98 West, thus comprising the William Myron and Sarah Lea Brown Farm of Ambrose, Divide County, North Dakota. Additional note: Sørine's cousins - Anton, Emma and Thea Gregerson (siblings - and likewise born to Norwegian emigrants who had settled in Vernon Township, Dodge County, Minnesota) - each acquired Land Patents for 1/4 Section Parcels near Sørine's. It would appear that the four acted in concert. | |
| 42 |  | 1920 US Census for Edith St., Albuquerque, New Mexico At this juncture - Anna and Oline Lea had moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and are here living together with their widowed brother-in-law William Myron Brown and niece Agnes Brown - their common objective being the proper raising of the now 9 year old girl, who had been left motherless at the death of Sørine (nee Lea) Brown in 1914. | |

| 47 |  | Alet Karine Beaver Painting of Alet Karine Olsdatter, who married Morten Olsen Bæver 6 July 1833 in Kongsberg, Buskerud, Norway. In creating this portrait, the artist might have made use of the photo of her (shown here) containing a similar image. | |
| 48 |  | Alet Karine Beaver gravestone. Marker in the Audubon Cemetery, at Audubon, Becker Co, Minnesota for Alet Karine Beaver, (wife of Morten Olsen Bæver) who was born 28 September 1809 in Eiker, Buskerud, Norway. She emigrated as a widow in 1870. Her date of death was actually in 1896, one year later than what this stone indicates. | |
