THE SULDAL CEMETERY IN LINDINA TOWNSHIP, JUNEAU COUNTY, WISCONSIN; A BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY

BY
LAWRENCE W. ONSAGER

 

                The Suldal Cemetery belongs to the East Lemonweir Lutheran Church. The cemetery is located on Suldal Road in Lindina Township, Juneau County, Wisconsin. It is on the left, one-half mile before reaching Johnson Road.

                Nels Benson (Nels Bjornson Farastad) donated the first piece of land in 1855. In 1919, Gunder Johnson and his wife donated a second piece at the south end. In 1979, Gerhard O. Johnson gave three acres on the north end. This list is in alphabetical order by family group with row numbers taken from the Juneau County Genealogy Society Cemeteries Book 5, pages 676-681. The biographical material has been taken from the Juneau County, Wisconsin Bygdebok; A Genealogy of the Norwegian Settlers, 1850-1950 by Lawrence W. Onsager. This cemetery is a cultural artifact that records a small part of the story of the Norwegians in America.

Lillehammer, Austin, 1884-1984, Row 4   Headstone Photo

Lillehammer, Austin (Osten) s of Lars Tjerandson Lillehammer (see) and Anna

                Ostensdtr. Klungtveit. Austin was born on March 18, 1884 in Suldal Township, Rogaland County, Norway. His father was killed when Austin was one from back injuries received while skiing.

                In an interview shortly after his 96th birthday, Austin recalled that when he was seven his grandpa made him a pair of skis. "I walked sometimes clear up there, about a quarter mile up the mountainside, and grandma scolded me for coming so far. And then I would slide back."

                When he was eight years old, Austin, his mother and four other members of the family came to America. The family came "because they didn't think they could make a living there," he says. It was a rocky farm.

                They went on a boat to Hull, England, by train to Liverpool, and on a ship to New York. "It was 1892. We sailed the ocean blue, like Columbus. I was awful sick on the North Sea. That's an awful rough sea. But the Atlantic went pretty good. They say the top of the deck is the best not to get sick."

                They came to Castle Garden now Ellis Island. "They had pens like a stockyard, for Wisconsin or wherever we were going. Nobody could speak English. A man named Peterson, a minister, came to meet us."

                They went to Dexterville in Wood County, where Austin's mother had a sister. But Austin went to live with his Aunt and Uncle in the valley west of Mauston, because they had no children, and times were hard with so many in the family at Dexterville. His stepfather worked for $1.10 a day on the railroad, and also piled lumber at a mill for a while.

                In the first three years in Juneau County, Austin went to see his parents just once. He attended the Windsor School, later called the Suldal School, until he was about 12. "They had a Norwegian parochial schoolhouse too, for five days a week, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for one month in the summer time. The teacher was an old man, Jacob Quamme, who was paid a dollar a day, raised by subscriptions from area farmers."

                Austin went back and forth between Dexterville and Juneau County until his parents moved to a farm in Lindina in 1906. In Dexterville, he worked for his dad on the railroad for a while. "But I wasn't built for that." he said. Then he worked in a sawmill when he was about 16. "They had two band saws with steam carriages. They went pretty fast."

                In their 14 years at Dexterville, his parents "never paid taxes. All the land was owned by the Hiles Lumber Company. They were millionaires."

                On the farm in Lindina Township, Austin and his brother Arne worked 11 acres of tobacco, eight on shares and three at home. "That was work all year around. We raised cigar tobacco, for fillers, binders, and wrappers. It was a cash crop but it wasn't much. Six cents a pound, and two cents for fillers."

                They speared it onto lathes and hung it up on poles in a shed "until cured out, got kinda brown. When it was case weather, humid, it softened up, so we could handle it. Otherwise, it was hard and brittle as could be."

                They stripped the leaves off the stalks and put them into 50 pound bales which an agent would come around and buy.

                His folks moved to town "because my mother got kind of sick. But I wanted to be a farmer. I took the short course in Madison, but I got sickly." Austin then traveled to Akron, Ohio to a Goodyear rubber plant to learn vulcanizing for tire repair. He worked for Carl Onsager, at his tire shop on the corner of State and Elm Streets; the Cities Service station across from the Courthouse on Hickory Street; and then his own place, a garage behind the Towne Inn on Pine Street.

                The Lillehammer brothers took over the Ford Dealership during World War II. He retired at 70. Austin never married. For 50 years, he lived with his sister Winnie above the Lillehammer Dress Shop. The shop was originally run by three Lillehammer sisters, Tina, Marcina, and Winnie.

                Austin returned to Norway, in 1958 and 1959. At age 96 he spent a lot of time reading. On religion, he recalls that at one time, "God was all there was." Dexterville, on the other hand, "didn't have no religion" other than an occasional visiting preacher. "They were lumberjacks, and they drank and swore." He added that this was not true of the married men.

Onsager, Ole Johnson s of John Onsager (see) and Siri Olsdtr. Ole was born either on December 30, 1846 or January 3, 1847 in Hadeland, Norway. The more probable date is January 3 which appears in the Gran church records. The December date appears in his obituary and on his tombstone. Perhaps Ole needed to be a year older at some point in his life and changed his birth date.

                As a young man, he was a champion ice skater and worked in the Hadeland Glasswerk. Ole became a glassmaker at Jevnaker but left Norway in 1868 for America. He came by way of Liverpool, England where he sailed on 1 Nov 1868. He lived with his uncle, Ole T. Olson of Mauston for the next several years. In the 1870 census, he is listed as Ole Johnsen.

                Ole was married on June 9, 1872 in Greenwood Township, Vernon Co., Wis. to Mary Nelson. Mary, the dau of Einar Nelson and Gertrude Paulson, was born on June 25, 1853 in Laerdal, Norway.

                When his wife Mary was a year old, the Nelson family emigrated to America, making their home on a farm near Perry in Dane County, Wis. When she was 12, the family moved to Greenwood Township in Vernon County, Wis.

                Ole settled in Greenwood Township, Vernon County after he married in 1872 and purchased an 80 acre farm. He became a member of the Greenwood Lutheran Church on 4 June 1872. In 1898 or 1899, they sold their farm and moved to Lindina Township in Juneau County. In the 1914 Atlas and Farmers Directory of Juneau County, Wisconsin, Ole was farming 135 acres in section 4 and 3 acres in section 9. He and Mary had lived in the county for 15 years. They lived there until 1917 when they moved to Mauston and lived with their son Carl. Ole became a naturalized citizen on September 10, 1914.

                Ole died on July 22, 1921 in Mauston, Juneau Co., Wisconsin. He was buried on July 25, 1921 in the Suldal Cemetery, Lindina Township, Juneau County, Wisconin. Mary died on April 24, 1939 in Hillsboro, Vernon Co., Wisconsin. She was buried beside Ole in the Suldal Cemetery (JCGS Cem Bk 5, p. 680).

Quamme, Anna see Nevestveit, Anna, Row 1

Quamme, Jacob Larson s of Lars Knudsen Quamme (see) and Brita Hansdtr. Ovre Kvame. Jacob was born on January 13, 1846 in Borgund, Laerdal Township, Sogn og Fjordane County, Norway. Following his graduation from Seminary for Teachers at Balestand, he taught in private and public schools in Norway for 7 years. He was married, first, in 1869 to Theodora Olafine Selsing. Theodora was born on September 26, 1845 in Bergen, Norway. They came to the U.S. in 1871 with their infant dau, leaving Liverpool, England on June 5 and landing in Quebec where they proceeded by rail to Detroit. They were in Utica, Crawford County, Wisconsin for 11 years. Here Jacob served as teacher and song leader for the Lutheran congregation and reader when the non-resident pastor could not attend.

                Jacob was called as a regular teacher and preceptor for the East and West Lemonweir congregations and began his duties on October 22, 1882. Halvor Johnson provided for Jacob and his family until they were permanently settled in Fountain Township. Jacob and Theodora joined the West Lemonweir Church (ELCR). Jacob taught the Lutheran catechism and the Norwegian language and served for about 22 years (resigning because of age). Jacob served 56 years as teacher of the Lutheran faith.

                The Norwegian school was a wooden building about 18 x 30 feet in size. It had one door, which was in front, and three windows on each side. There were two rooms, a cloak room in the front and the school room itself. The teacher's desk was in the front and the wood heater was about 10 feet back, with black stove pipe to the chimney on the back of the building. The desks were behind the stove.

                Jacob and Theodora had a farm in sections 31 and 32 (120 acres) in Fountain Township. Theodora died on November 2, 1913 and was buried in the West Lemonweir Cemetery. At the age of 69, Jacob was married, second, on June 30, 1915 in Lindina Township by Pastor Ruh to Anna Eliza Nevestveit. The witnesses were Mr. & Mrs. John E. Johnson and Mr. & Mrs. Jermon Tveit.

                Mendus Western (see Gustave Western) recalled that his parents rented Anna's farm about the time she married Jacob. Mendus' dad would tell about Jacob looking over the big house and the smoke from the chimney and saying it looked like a factory. It wasn't long before he found out who ruled the roost there. Jacob was a large man with a full beard and wouldn't hurt anyone. He had false teeth that clicked whenever he talked. Jacob came over every evening to get milk and they always visited with him in Norwegian. Jacob always smelled of peppermint, popular candy of the day.

                Anna died on April 30, 1932 at her home in Lindina Township and was buried on May 4, 1932 in the Suldal Cemetery, Rev. C. Hjermstad officiating (ELCR; Bk 5, p. 676).
