1930 US Census - David Andrew Arndt

The 1930 US Census lists David Andrew Arndt on a 'Crew of Vessels'. The ship named S.S. Tulsagas was based in San Francisco and owned by Associated Oil Company. Andrew can be found at line #26.

Error: David Andrew Arndt. Census lists Arndt, Andrew C. The last column states "Address of wife or next of kin": Rochille (sic), Illinois. Wife Linnie (Vallem) Arndt was living in Dement township adjoining Rochelle located in Flagg township, Ogle county, Illinois in 1930 with her mother Rachel and brother Elmer so this is the correct Andrew Arndt.

Here is the 1930 US census for Leonard A Arndt, the eldest son of Linnie (Vallem) and David Andrew Arndt.

Here is the 1930 US census for their second eldest son, Arthur LeRoy Arndt.

Their youngest son, Russell Burdett Arndt died a few years earlier on May 30, 1926. According to 'Illinois, U.S., Deaths and Stillbirths Index, 1916-1947' Russell was a patient. This was the same facility where his older brother Leonard was living. Russell's memorial can be found here.

Linnie and Andrew's only daughter, Dollie Arndt died sometime prior to the April 5, 1930 US Census. Her memorial can be found here.

Ole Finnestad Jr obituary

Here is the obituary for my great, great grandfather, Ole Finnestad Jr from the Dixon Evening Telegraph of July 9, 1928. Note the misspelling of his first and last name, though Finnestad was spelled correctly within the content of the article. You will also note that his brother Rasmus had moved from Canada to Washington by the time of his brother's death. Oddly, there is no mention of the sisters that survived him, leading me to believe they may have lost touch by the time of his death.

Kenneth and Lillian Finnestad obituaries

I have had previously posted the obituary for my great great grandfather Ole Finnestad several posts back. I have not yet been able to locate an obituary for my great grandparents Oliver and Mary Finnestad, though here are the obituaries for my grandparents, Kenneth and Lillian Finnestad.

Finnestad Farm - Stavanger, Norway

It was customary in Norway to take the farm name as the family name. Prior to arriving in America, Ole Finnestad was known as Ole Olson. According to the Regional State Archives of Stavanger, in 1862, Ole Olsen bought a farm from Bjørn Larsen. The following link provides some farm information along with the family members in 1865: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=59&filnamn=f61126&gardpostnr=582&sokefelt=vis “Merknad 387b” now means property nr. 16 of the farm Finnestad. (Please keep in mind that accuracy of records is less than perfect - so ages and other information are not always correct) For more information on Stavanger and a map of the area, please go to the following wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stavanger
