About Wier Sampson Wierson

Skåneviksoga II page 259 Øvstebø (34d), page 260 Øvstebø (35).

Wier and Siri came to America in 1874 through Ellis Island.

In Norway, a word was added to the end of the name to indicate where a person lived. Wier Sampson lived at Ostabo, meaning East Place (ost = east and abo = place). When they came to America, the children took their father's first name "wier" and added son to the end to come up with Wierson.

Died of liver cancer.
