Misc. Notes
Engebret and his wife Inga homesteaded southeast of Rothsay near his brother, Halvor. Engebret's farm was across Moen Lake to the southwest from Halvor's homestead. Engebret's farm was later bought by William Grunewald, who tore down the buildings. William's son, Arthur, still owns the land. One of Engebret's sons lived on the farm for a time after he and Inga died. Inga died of diabetes. Most of the children are buried in Hedemarken Cemetery.
