!SO: D-016 From AC provided by Paul and Nina Larson.
D-027 from Nina Larson in 1990.
D-008 Information from P.T. Larson-1481 indicates that Hans Olson served
as a "life guard to foot" for either King Frederick the 5th, who reigned
from 1746 to 1776, or for King Kristian the 7th, 1766 to 1808.
In his letter of discharge it was stated that Hans Olson had strong
shoulders and strong legs and that he served the king faithfully as the
"life guard to foot" for 8 years and 8 months.
He married a girl from Lundesagn by the name of Marthe Kjyrmo. By
inheritance she was entitled to the homeplace and they were to live there,
but Hans got so homesick that he could not stay there so they moved to
Oksendal where he took posession of the original homestead, "Volden". From
Marthe Kjyrmo the names PEDER and MARTHE came into our family.
NOTES: D-013 Occupation listed as farmer in Oksendal and carpenter. Served as
life guard to King Kristian of Denmark 8 years and 8 months (1766-1774).
When he moved back to Oksendal, he bought the homeplace from his
brother, Hans.
D-014 reveals that he and eleven others were selected to be the king's
special body guard. Norway was then ruled by Denmark. While in this
service he recieved a uniform and a chest in which to keep his clothes.
The chest, which is inscribed with the date 1776, is now (as of 1968) in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Deen, Minneota, Minn. Buttons from the
uniform and his honorable discharge were in the possession of Nils H.
Dahl at Minot, N.D. He was described in his discharge papers as being
'light hair, blue eyes, broad shoulders and strong legs'. "It is said
that once when the soldiers were lifting various objects to measure
thier strength, that he placed his head under a horse and stood to full
height with the horse hanging across his shoulders. Asked by the king
what they fed men in Norway to make them so strong, he answered - `Your
Majesty, in Norway they feed the men the food you feed your horses ...
oats.' This was true for the main food in Norway then was oatmeal"
PROBLEM: D-024 lists b. date as 1765.
D-042 indicates he was a farmer. Was widely known for his great
strength. But attributes the bodygard duties to his son, Peder.
