    • She is Marit Gunnarsdatter Kvien, I21942, in Jim’s VS. No spouse or children shown. She was born on Arnehaugen 96/10 under Kvien. Her parents were not married at the time she was born.

      Called Marit G Gjevre in the History of Renville County. That history says that Marit was a cousin of A T Ellingboe’s first wife, Berit Lien. (Apparently Marit’s father was a brother of Berit’s mother.)

      Although she is listed with her parents and siblings in Renville County in the 1880 census, a note says that she was “at Minneapolis.”

      In the 1910 census, she is shown as having borne 3 children, all 3 still living. She is shown to have been married to Andrew T. for 13 years.

      In the 1930 census, Marit, 69, was living with, and listed as a servant (“maid”) for, Sever Weflen, a 56 year old single farmer in Renville County. The Sever Weflen farm was located next to the residence of Iver A. Ellingboe. She is shown to have emigrated in 1866.

      In the 1936 Minneapolis city directory, she lives with George and Agnes at 409 E 18th.

      In the 1938 Minneapolis city directory, she lives at 1711 Portland Avenue S, apartment 23.

      In the 1940 census, she lived at 1711 Portland in Minneapolis with her son George and daughter Agnes. Marit had had zero years of schooling.

      She died at home in Renville of senility which she had had for 5 years. She had lived in Renville for 5 years and 11 months. Her death certificate lists her father’s name as Gunner Gjerre and her mother as Gro Weflen.

      She is the Marith Gundersdatter of one of the Qvien farms in Vang in the 1865 census. That Marith was 6 years old and her father was Gunder Gundersson, age 28, and her mother was Gro Helgesdatter, age 31.
