Marriage Notes:
The wife has been referred to as Karen, Martha, Marthea, Karen M ... Olesdatter, Olsen, and Halvorsdatter ... and while this seems like these are the right people, Ole Thompson said his maternal grandparents stayed in Norway which would not be true ... and they lived in the same county.
Andrew next married Petrine Gunvaldsdatter BLAXTVEDT on 18 Sep 1888 in Fillmore County, Minnesota, USA.2 (Petrine Gunvaldsdatter BLAXTVEDT was born on 3 Jul 1849 in Aadalen, Buskerud, Norway, baptized on 4 Aug 1849 in Aadalen, Buskerud, Norway and died in 1901 in Fillmore County, Minnesota, USA.)
