Oskar Karl (Tjøstelsen) Knutsen. 1910 -1989. Hva skjedde i USA

[Per Tore Solheim]

Hei igjen

 

Oskar Karl blei født i Raudsanddalen, Vegårshei, den 7.7. 1910.  Etter krigen kjøpte han ei hustomt i Austre Moland, der han 1951-53 bygde et hus (mat.nr 38/57)

Men i 1953 brøt han over tvert, og reiste til USA.  Dit hadde flere av hans søsken reist langt tidligere.  Flere av dem var i ferd med å vende "hjem".  Men i Minneapolis bodde imidlertid hans søster Helga, da gift Lovberg.  Det var hans reisemål.

Oskar ankom NY 22.3.1953 med Stavangerfjord.  I 1959 blei han gift med Lucille Evangeline Fischer, (1911  - 2002).  Oskar besøkte  så vidt jeg vet aldri Norge igjen. Han døde i Minneapolis 20.11.1989.

 

Er det noen som kan finne ut mer om oppholdet hans i USA?

[Jackie K Marler]

In his obit, Oskar Karl Knutsen is listed as survived by wife Lucille and nieces and nephews, so no children of his own are mentioned.

It also says he was a retired "Flour City" employee.

 

Oskar was also sued by a man named George Kunkel for injuries he received in a car / motorcycle accident asking for $83,000 (1977)  Oskar's lawyer asked an improper question and a mistrial was declared, but Oskar was assessed some additional damages.
