Anne Sophie TASA

Notes:

Called Emma S. in the 1880 census.

The 14 November 1896 edition of the Northfield News, as indexed in the Minnesota Newspaper Headline Index, notes for “Mrs. Thomas Ellingboe” that “sister of Mrs. Erick Svien death announced.”

Her sister Marit Lovise Ellingboe (#6803) seems to have died on the same day as Anne Sophie Svien.

Her death and burial date are confusing in the church record. Her funeral seems to have been on the same date as her sister Marit (#6803), b. 10-24-74, d. 11-8-1896. However, the burial date for both is clearly October 11th. The person who entered the burial dates seems to have gotten mixed up because all of the dates are (otherwise) consecutive and the funeral before the two sisters is October 31st.

Buried:
She and her sister Marit share the same gravestone.

Erik (son of Johannes J (John) SVIEN and Beret Eiriksdatter KASA) was born in Dec 1869 in Minnesota; died on 14 Jul 1947 in Goodhue County, Minnesota; was buried on 19 Jul 1947 in Vang Lutheran Church Cemetery, Dennison, Goodhue County, Minnesota.
