[69] Died in 1876, ninety-two years old.
[70] Abel Catherine von Krogh was born in 1809. Her father was Arnold von Krogh. Björne Anderson Kvelve was born in 1801. For a sketch of Björn Anderson and his wife see pages 155–170 of First Chapter of Norwegian Immigration by R. B. Anderson, who is their third son (b. 1846 in Albion, Wisconsin); I am indebted to this work for many facts relative to the Illinois pioneers of 1836–1837.
[71] Especially in a German book on travels in America, see his account, p. 21. Knud Langeland did not emigrate, however, before 1843.
[72] Björn Anderson seems to have in part been instrumental in their not going to La Salle County, but there is no evidence that he recommended Iroquois County as far as I am aware.
[73] Niels Veste may also have been of the party.
[74] This he bought of the father of Rev. B. G. Muus, well-known in Norwegian-American church history, and a long time pastor at Norway, Goodhue County, Minnesota.
[76] Ansten Nattestad, of whom below, took it with him to Norway that year and got it printed in Christiania.
[77] See above, page [101], for the circumstances of Narvig’s coming to Michigan.
[78] Attorney Samuel Richolson, of Ottawa, who died in 1906, was a son of Lars Richolson. He was born March twenty-fifth, 1841, on the homestead bought by his father in 1837–38. He was for a long time member of the firm, Boyle and Richolson, in Ottawa, was mayor of Ottawa from 1871–1881, at one time attorney for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad. His widow, Marietta Richolson, and two children are still living.
