Gulbrand Anfindsen Høstager

Name Var.:  

Arnfinnsen

Born:  

January 19, 1800 according to Sogndal Church birth records.

Parents:  

Anfind Anfindsen and Anna Gulbrandsdatter

Died:  

June 8, 1800 according to Sogndal Church death records


Anfind Anfindsen Høstager

Name Var.:  

Arnfinn Arnfinnsen

Born:  

January 19, 1800 according to Sogndal Church birth records.

Note:  

Comment on Sogndal Church birth record:

Fullt namn: Fredrikke Kristine Margrethe. Far: Fritz Christian S.

Full name: Fredrikke Kristine Margrethe. Father: Fritz Christian S.

I'm not sure what the comment means.

Parents:  

Anfind Anfindsen and Anna Gulbrandsdatter

Died:  

February 2, 1800 according to Sogndal Church death records


Niels (Nils) Anfindsen Høstager

Name Var.:  

Nils Arnfinnsen

Born:  

December 26, 1800

Another source shows 1802, but I think 1800 is correct.

Parents:  

Arnfinn Arnfinnsenn and Brita Nilsdatter

Married:  

Christie (Kristi) Olsdatter (b. 1808)

Children:  

Kari Nilsdatter Høstager (b. 1831)

Anfind Nielsen Høstager (b. 1834)
Britha Nielsdatter Høstager (b. 1839)
Olaf (Ole) Nilson Hostager (b. 1843)*

*Placing Olaf as the son of Nils and Christie is proposed by Dean Hostager and is probable.  Olaf's year of birth makes sense. Olaf's middle name is Nilson, son of Nils.  Olaf married Margreta Vangestad and their first child was a girl name Christina (After the grandmother, a typical Norwegian custom. Typically the mother's mother's name is used, but here the father's mother's name is used).  None of these children are listed on the 1865 (Norway) census.  Britha married and moved away from the farm.  Anfind emigrated to America as did Olaf.

1838 Land   Register:  

Niels Anfindsen is listed as a resident of the Høstaker farm in the 1838 Land Register.

1865 Census:  

Nils (not Niels as before) is listed as 63 years old which would put his birth about 1802 give or take a year. His wife is listed as Kristi Olsdatter.  He has given his farm to Lars Jenssen in return for financial support.

Obituary:  

Unknown Publication, 1909

Ole Anfinson Hostager, one the old pioneers, died at his home in Section No. 28, town of Wanamingo, Thursday, Feb. 18th after a short illness and was buried in the Wanamingo church cemetery the following Monday. Rev. S. Rislov spoke at the house and in church and performed the funeral obsequies. Rev. M. O. Hostager of Cloquet, Minn., also made a short address. The pall bearers were M. O. Floan, A.J. Skaar, A. A. Haller, K. P. Krogen, Elling Albertson and Jorgen Ingebretson.

The deceased was born on Hostager in Sogn, Norway, Europe, in June 1818. Here he was baptized and confirmed and later at the age of 22, was married to a widow, Mrs. Martha Sagebakken. In 1845 they emigrated to America, going to Chicago, Ill., where they bought a house and lot. They spent ten years there and then sold out and in 1855 moved to Minnesota where he settled on the farm which has since been his home. About 30 years ago, being without children, they sold their farm to Ivar Skaar, retaining a life interest therein. A few years later, Mr. Skaar sold out his rights to Anfin Nelson Hostager, a nephew of the deceased who owned the farm until 1906 when it passed to his son, Martin. Some 25 years ago Mrs. Anna Dalager, a niece of Mrs. O. A. Hostager came over from Europe and since that time her home has been with them and she has kindly and lovingly cared for them. Mrs. Hostager died in 1890. The deceased took a great interest in church and school and nothing was dearer to him than the work of God. in Chicago he helped to organize the first Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran congregation and to build a church. When he came to Goodhue Co., he joined the Holden congregation but later went out and with a few others organized the Wanamingo congregation to which he was an earnest Christian and good neighbor. He will long be remembered by his many friends.
