    • A 72 year-old John Saxhaug arrived in New York aboard the S.S. Oslofjord on 10 September 1938. The Oslofjord had sailed from Oslo 9 days earlier. John was a U.S. citizen and a widower and lived at 2101 30th Avenue S. in Minneapolis.

      In the 1900 census, an unmarried 34 year-old John Saxhaug (b. May 1866 in Norway) lived in Minneapolis in a rooming house at 1515 E. 19th Street. John was a mail carrier. He had come to the U.S. in 1883.

      In the 1905 Minnesota census, John E. Saxhaug, 38, and his wife Carrie, 36, live at 2305 26th Avenue S. John was a mail carrier. He had been in Minnesota for 22 years and in the local enumeration district for 20 years.

His death certificate notes that John did not have a Social Security number.
