1877 (13 July) Anne Amundsdatter (29yrs - øier Gulbrdl.) left Oslo, Norway for Humbird, Wisconsin on the ship "Hero".

MRS. ANNA BLIHOVDE (OIER, GULBRANDSDALEN) Mrs. Anna Blihovde, a brief mention of whose death and burial was made in last week’s issue of the Herald, passed away at the Whitehall hospital, June 1, 1930 following an illness of four weeks of thromboplebitis. The day before her death she had just passed her 82nd milestone of life’s journey. Mrs Blihovde was born in Oier, Gulbrandsdalen Norway, on May 31, 1848 and came to America in 1876. In 1878 she was united in marriage to Matt Gilbertson who passed away in 1880. In 1883 she was again united in marriage to Johannes O. Blihovde, who preceded her in death, November 12, 1927. For many years they made their home east of Taylor where they resided for 16 years. Six years ago they moved to the home of J.H. Hansen, where they could both be given every care and comfort of their old age, Mrs. Hansen having resided with them before her marriage. Mrs. Hansen, who is a niece, administered to their every need and their last years were spent in perfect peace and comfort. No children were born to them, but she leaves to mourn her death three nieces, Mrs. J.H. Hansen of Taylor; Mrs. Christine Chesrown of Carson, North Dakota; and Mrs. Ludwig Hamery of Bismark, South Dakota. Also one cousin, Mrs. P.J. Nustad of Westby, Wisconsin, besides a host of neighbors and friends. The funeral services were held from the home of J.H. Hansen at one o’clock and at the Trempealeau Valley Lutheran Church at two o’clock on Wednesday, June 4th. The services were conducted by the Revs. S.S. and K.M. Urberg of Blair. Interment was made at the church cemetery. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. A memorial in a sum of money was also given to the Ebenzer Old People’s Home, being a gift from friends and former neighbors in the village of Taylor. In the death of Mrs. Bilhovde this community loses another one of the fast diminishing sturdy pioneers who have helped to make this beautiful country of ours, turning a wilderness into productive farms and homes.
