  • Introduction

    Olaf was my Grandfather. He died before I was born but my Grandmother and my father talked about him often. He was well known at the time of his death in the town he lived in. He came over to USA from Norway when he was 7 years old with his brothers. He married Gertrude Laura Huseby. They had 8 children: Gordon, LeeRoy, Morris, Dennis (my father),LeJon, Irene, Darlene and Marilyn (who was stillborn). He worked at farm labor and lost his hand in a threshing machine accident (near Sacred Heart, MN) and had a hook for a hand. He died at home. He liked to eat bread and a big chunk of butter on each slice with every meal. Will update later with better dates and info. KDL
