oldefar omkom i Amerika

[Britt Irene Lunde]

Min oldefar Lars Arnfinnson Løen fødd 1878 døydde på eit eller anna tidspunkt i 1913 i Nord dakota, eller det er der me trur han var. Fekk svar hjå frelserarmeen (trur eg) at han omkom i ei drukningsulykke i missouri elva. Han og hesten skal ha gått gjennom isen. Hesten overlevde er historien. Han var postmann.

Min oldefar hadde mange navn i America.

Lars A Lohn

Lars A Lahn

Lars A Lohen

Louis Lohen

Kor i all verden skal eg prøva å finna noko info om dette? Er det nokon som kan hjelpe

 

Oldefar kjøpte gård i canada i 1906  section SW-10-42-15 W4.  Den vart solgt....trur eg i 1912/13

Er takksam for all info eg kan få

These deaths of Lars named individuals come from the ND State Historical Society website death database dates expanded to include 1912& 1914.  Of the counties below in only two does the Missouri river flow McKenzie and Mountrail:

[Jackie K Marler]

The backside of their arrival record above shows they are headed to Ole Gilbertson at Towner, North Dakota:

 

Ole Gilbertson was bit of a "shaker and mover", owned land in both North Dakota & Montana.  McHenry county N.D. doesn't carry Missouri river water but is drained by the Mouse (Souris) river.  But the Missouri river goes through large swaths of Montana...  Ole's wife was name Anne Lohn, is she a relative?

 

Here is a family tree including Anna Lohn Gilbertson, she was from Voss:

Knut Larsen Løn was Lars Anfinsen Løn's (1878)  uncle. So Anna was his first cousin.

Anne Gilbertsen or An Gilbertsen was his cousin. So was Lewis Lohn. I think there are a few relatives with the name Lohn in America. I met one of them last year. Wendy Lohn. Charles Lohn was Wendy's great grandfather

We are not sure what the name of the river he drowned in was, but we think he was living in North Dakota somewhere since he sold his farm i Canada. Maybe in Towner with his cousins.

 

My great grandfather married my great grandmother Ingebjørg Ø Lunde  in oktober 1911. My grandfather was born in november........ Then he left for america in may 1912  and his second son was born i december 1912. 

 

I would like to know what happened with Lars A Løen. My great grandmother never talked about him. She died almost a 100 years old. She never remarried or had a man. She must have loved him a lot and was probably very angry at him for leaving them. Im not sure if she knows what happened with him.

Im stuck and have no idea where to find information 

[Jackie K Marler]

A mail carrier drowning in a river while doing his duty would be a newsworthy event.  

 

I have looked for such a story in the newspapers at GenealogyBank but didnot find any suitable.  However there is a newer North Dakota newspaper searching database that includes many newspapers in the region of McHenry county, that might include such a story.  Since they have updated the site this fall, I haven't been able to search in it, for some reason my computer at home is incompatible, so perhaps you want to try the resources there yourself?

The lands that Ole and Anne Gilbertson got from the US Federal government were located in Sheridan county with the postal delivery addresses of Plentywood & Culbertson
