Anton was the twin brother of Synneva Ragnhild "Hilda" Korneliusdotter Hauge Piercy. I was told by my mother and grandmother (Hilda) that he had died at sea. I believe he was a fisherman. He must have been young when he died as I don't think he emigrated to the United States like the rest of his siblings did. Hilda was 17 when she immigrated. I don't know if her twin brother was still alive when she left Norway. If he died before she moved to the United States, I can see how that would have helped propel her to leave and start a new life.
