Grønvolds: Ole, Mathea, Martinus Pedersen
The baby could be Klaus or more likely it could be
one of the many baby brothers and sisters who died in infancy.
Sissel, Ole's wife, said many years later: "Many of Ole's brothers
and sisters died from a 'bad sickness' all at once in Norway. So
sad. But Ole's mother was a big, strong woman and she got them all back
and more.". |
