  Notes	Last name according to the mother’s maiden name shown in Ethel’s birth certificate. She is probably the 24 year-old Olava Saxhaug, niece, living with her aunt and uncle John (#13179) and Thea Saxhaug in Fergus Falls in the 1900 census (a couple of houses away from John M. and Gertie Bye). Olava was born in Norway in November of 1875 and came to the U.S. in 1896. She emigrated from Trondheim as Olava Sakshaug, age 25, on 8 July 1896 aboard the feeder ship Tasso. Her destination was New York. As Olava Saxhoug, age 22, she arrived in New York aboard the S.S. Adriatic on July 25, 1896. The ship’s manifest says that she was bound for “Hope, Dak.” From the information on her death certificate (for which her husband was the informant), we can determine that she is Olava Erlingsdatter, daughter of Erling Torbergson, b. 1829 in Inderøen, and Bergitte Ingebriktsdatter, born 1839 in Inderøen, born 16 Oct 1873 in Inderøen, living on the Saxhaugen 51b farm in the 1875 Norwegian census. That Olava was baptized on November 23, 1873, and was confirmed (as Olava Ellingsdatter Saxhoug) on 30 Sept 1888. Her father was referred to on her birth record as Elling Thorbergssen Saxhaug. Bergitte was probably born 24 Feb 1839, bapt. 14 Apr 1839, to Ingebrigt Nielsen Saxhaug and Elen Christiansdatter. According to her death certificate, she had been in the area for 32 years. Her residence was 323 W. Bancroft. She died from a diabetic coma. She was survived by three sisters and two brothers, one of each of which still lived in Norway. Her three siblings in the U.S. at the time of her death were: Mrs. Theo Hanson of Fergus Falls, Mrs. Andrew Stark of Hope, N.D., and John Saxhaug of Minneapolis.
