Ole and Mari Finnestad's great granddaughter, Elizabeth "Penny" (Ludwig) Corson was the 4th child born to Edith (Knutson) and Charles Edward Ludwig on November 1, 1930 in Rochelle, Ogle county, Illinois.

Elizabeth married Gerald Corson on May 27, 1950 in DeKalb, Illinois.   Elizabeth passed away on March 28, 1971 in DeKalb.    Her burial was at the Fairview Cemetery in DeKalb.  

The grave marker for Elizabeth and Gerald is difficult to locate as a shrub has grown over the marker.

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.

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
