• Reference: An Immigrant Shipload of 1840, 1840. An Immigrant Shipload of 1840
Anne O. Windag (44) came from Numedal. Her brother, Gunnel Olsen Vindeg, who came to America in 1839, is well known in Norwegian immigrant history as a writer of boastful, but influential America letters. {39} Another brother, Helleik, gained fame, or rather notoriety, along another line of endeavor. Together with two companions he decided to try a quick and easy way to riches. "During the winter of 1841 these three unmarried men, all from Numedal, spent their time partly at Koshkonong and partly in Whitewater, making Norwegian money. . . . They wore the money as soles in their boots in order to make the bills look old and worn." {40} In the spring of 1842 or 1843 they returned to Norway to cash in on their cunning but landed in prison for long terms instead. Anna Vindeg married the Vossing, Nils Larson Bolstad, in 1841; he was one of the pioneers in the famous Koshkonong settlement. They settled in the town of Deerfield, Dane County, Wisconsin, where they remained until Bolstad died in 1865. Shortly afterwards Anna Vindeg Bolstad sold the farm and moved to North Dakota, where she died in 1912. She had three daughters and three sons, one of whom joined the Fifteenth Wisconsin Regiment and died in battle, June 28, 1864. {41}
