Third Generation - Grandparents

General Notes: Kirkeberg is the one of the Americanized spellings of the Norwegian name of Kyrkebjorgo.
 

  6. Gunder Andersen Kirkeberg, son of Anders Knudsen Kirkeberg and Ingrid Siri Gundersdatter Jukam, was born on 16 Jul 1865 in Gunder, Clay Co., Iowa, died on 7 Nov 1913 in Eugene, Lake Co., Oregon at age 48, and was buried in Pioneer Memorial Cemetery, Eugene, Ore.

Gunder married his first cousin, Gunhild Marie Eriksdatter Wold, therefore, merging the two "Kirkeberg" branches. They were married in Mayville, Traill, Dakota Territory on 22 May 1881.

From the Andreas' Atlas, 1884:
"G.A. Kirkeberg, farmer, P.O. Buxton, was born in Clayton, Iowa in 1855, a son of Anders K. Kirkeberg, who settled in Wisconsin in 1848, and in Iowa in 1852, where he was a pioneer. He has three sons and four daughters, of whom our subject is the third. Mr. Kirkeberg was married in the spring of 1881 to Maria Wold, of Iowa. Their children are Alfred and Emil [sic] [has to be Ingrid!]. In the spring of 1881, they moved to Dakota and located on the farm where they now live, one and one-half miles southeast of Cummings, on the main line of the St. Paul, MN and Manitoba Railroad. The land is good, with comfortable buildings, stock, etc. The wheat crop in 1883 was sixteen bushels, in 1882 twenty-one bushels, and in 1881 twenty-three bushels."
The land patent was issued 15 Nov 1886.

In about 1900, Gunder began the General Store in Cummings, North Dakota.

  7. Gunhild Marie Eriksdatter Wold, daughter of Erik Jacobsen Wold and Anne Knudsdatter Kirkeberg, was born on 15 Jan 1858 in Valdres, Bagn, Søndre Aurdal, Norway, died on 25 Dec 1929 in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon at age 71, and was buried in Pioneer Memorial Cemetery, Eugene, Ore.

In the 1865 Norwegian census from Søndre Aurdal, her name is listed as Gunnel Marie Eriksdatter. (Record 1175) She emigrated from Norway to the United States in 1880 boarding the S/S Hero (D. Connelly Line) in Oslo (then known as Kristiania, Norway) on 11 June 1880. (Listed as Gunhild Wold, Record number 22521 in Digitalarkivet: Emigranter over Oslo 1871-1930.) The Hero sailed from Kristiania to Hull, England. She then boarded the steam ship "City of Chester" in Liverpool, bound for New York, arriving on 26 June 1880. She settled in Postville, Iowa, with the family of Anders Knudsen Kirkeberg, her mother's brother. She and her first cousin, Gunder, fell in love and were married - apparently away from the rest of the family in 1881. We don't know much about her. Here is the one quote we found in a letter between two of her grand-daughters:

'You know it's funny. I remember zilch about Grandmother Kirkeberg. She only came once to the farm, and used to stay in the outhouse in the morning until our father hitched up Henry to the buggy and went in to Scobey to his office. (Or so Mother told me afterwards.) But do you remember the big box of cherries she (Grandmother) sent from their tree after she went back home! (Only once though)."'

Gunhild and Gunder are buried in Eugene, Oregon, at Pioneer Memorial Cemetery.

Children from this marriage were:
i.    Alfred Emil Kirkeberg. Born 19 Feb 1882. Alfred died as a baby.
ii.   Ingrid Christine Kirkeberg. Ingrid married Paul Crum.
iii.  Enoch Kirkeberg was born on 7 Dec 1884 in North Dakota and died on 31 Mar 1965 at age 80.
iv.  Anna Sophia Kirkeberg was born on 9 May 1887 and died on 18 Nov 1918 at age 31.
v.   Lillian Estella Kirkeberg was born on 21 Oct 1888 and died on 2 Jan 1970 at age 81.
vi.  Louis Oliver Kirkeberg was born on 23 Jan 1892 and died on 16 Mar 1970 at age 78.


Fourth Generation - Great Grandparents

  12. Anders Knudsen Kirkeberg, son of Knud Larsen Kirkeberg and Maria Andersdatter Kulterstad, was born on 15 Jul 1822 in Søndre Aurdal, Norway and died on 14 Aug 1895 in Gunder, Clay Co., Iowa at age 43.

Illustration of a typical
bark or barque.


With their first-born child, two-month-old Maria A., Anders and his wife Ingrid emigrated to the U.S. in 1848. They are on the passenger list for the bark Drafna, which left Drammen, Norway, on May 30, 1848, and arrived in New York on August 5, 1848. (NARA Roll #82, arr. no. 1059) The baby died during the 10-week journey and was buried at sea. Three in all are listed on the ship's register as having died during the voyage: Hans Trulsen, 30, Maria Andersdatter, 10 months, and Ola Olsson,  42. And one child was born during the voyage.
Anders and Ingrid lived first in Buffalo, New York, where Anders studied stone cutting and masonry, his trade in Norway. They later moved to Rock Prairie, Wisconsin, an area where Anders worked in the construction of many stone buildings, homes, churches and school houses. Their second child was 12 years old when the family crossed the Mississippi and purchased a farm near Gunder, Iowa. Anders built the first rural school house near Elgin, Iowa; school had been held in his farm home before then. He also built the stone Lutheran church in rural Elgin. The surnames of Kirkeberg and Jukam were taken from names of farms where their families had lived in Bagn, So. Aurdal, Norway." (Source: Lien-Kirkeberg-Seglem-Stuland Tree by Erick Dwain Hanson .)

Children from this marriage:

i.  Maria Andersdatter Kirkeberg was born on 26 Mar 1848 in So. Aurdal, Norway, died on 20 Jun 1848 in Atlantic Ocean, and was buried in Buried As Sea.
ii.
Marie Siri Kirkeberg was born on 2 Dec 1850 in Rock Prairie, Wisconsin and died on 18 Oct 1930 in Kanawha, Iowa at age 79.
"According to her daughter Ingrid Lillian, Marie traveled to So. Aurdal in the Valdres region of Norway "to find a husband." In the parish of Bagn she met and courted cousin Knute. He departed Norway on April 26, 1878, and married Marie two months later at her family's farm near Gunder, Iowa. In addition to marriage, Knute had another incentive to start a new life in America. His family's extensive holdings, including timber, sawmills and a large home on a high slope overlooking So. Aurdal, [were] inherited by his oldest brother, Ole Hanson Lien. Ole co-signed notes for a large contractor who failed financially. Ole lost all assets, including the home."

Ellen was born on 17 Feb 1857 in Numedal, Norway, died on 3 Apr 1931 in Gunder, Iowa. Knud (or Knudt, as he is frequently found in the census, seems to have been the brother that helped Gunder get started in North Dakota. He moved there first and Gunder followed with Gunhild several years later. Knudt's land transfer of the patented land he proved up occurred on 20 Oct 1882. The brothers' land tracts were adjoining one another.

"Described in Kirkeberg family records as "the only well-known woman altar-painting artist of her time," Sara did more than 200 biblical scenes for churches throughout the upper Midwest, including the altar art in St. Olaf Lutheran Church in Belmond, Iowa. She also did altar paintings for mission fields including China, as well as one for the church altar of her ancestors in Bagn, Aurdal, Norway. She also did secular work."

At a confirmation service, 31-year-old Knud met 15-year-old Marie Kulterstad, whom he described as "one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen."

While doing the research on "our" Kirkebergs, I found an interesting family tree that included Bjorn Golberg and took the line all the way back to the year 250 in Norway. ("Jorenby/Jorandby Family History" by Charles Jorenby in ancestry.com's Ancestry World Tree.) I have no idea how correct this information is, as there are no sources listed in the file. But I have included it here, on the next page, just because it's interesting and rather fun to look at these names and dates of the Vikings they must have been. To go to the next page with the "ancestors" of Bjorn Golberg, click on the Viking. I repeat: I have no idea how authentic this is!
