Her first impression of Pennant was not a happy one. Due to unfortunate circumstances regarding the loss of her father, her mother later married Axel Nelson of Pennant, SK and at age 11, along with her mother, older brother Palmer and sister Grace, she moved to Pennant to begin a new life in Canada in 1928. She spent her young childhood in Van Hook, North Dakota. (Also according to this FAG-endtry.)īeulah (Billie) Dickie, formerly of Pennant, SK and resident of the Bentley in Swift Current passed away peacefully on Friday, April 9th, 2018 at Cypress Regional Hospital with family at her side.īillie was the third child of Severin and Aagot Buness, both of whom emmigrated from Norway, and she was born in Minot, North Dakota on March 3, 1917. Here is an obituary for the daughter Beluah, according to which the mother Aagot remarried some time around 1928. TODD MK-201 ěURNESS, OLOF J STRANDIN, REGINA IRENE Her address is given both times as Van Hook. Agnes is also mentioned in the Bismarck North Dakota paper as having been treated two times in 1924 at a Bismarck hospital. Melvin received about $300 compensation for his trouble but no mention was made about any share that Severin might have attained.Īgnes and the children were living in Mountrail county North Dakota in 1925, so the move to Canada came after that. In 1921 both Melvin and Severin were named as plaintiffs in a lawsuitt against the railroad. Gilman enlisted in the Army in 1917 and is married. Gilman was a 'mess' sergeant in his servie and seemed to follow cooking for a living after that. In the 1925 city directory of Seattle his wife is named Helen. So some members of the family lingered in Dakota.īrother Gilman Oscar was also married by 1920 (wife not named) as he is found in service that year and listed that way in the census. The brother John Melvin was married in North Dakota:Īnd he and his wife were residents of Renville county North Dakota in the 1930 census. Olaf is listed as a widower in the 1910 census so it's likely that she died between 1905- 1910, likely in Minnesota. I notice in your write-up that you give a death date for Sigrid, Severin's mum as 1939. Ditto with the obituaries of of each of the brothers as well as his father. His sister Ida Setness died in 1925, has her obituary been searched for? If perhaps he is mentioned as a survivor living in a specific place information that might be helpful. But there may not be anything new to offer. Severin has been the subject of a lot of searching through the years. He may have wanted to disappear, so not really sure where else I can go for info. Have scanned census info, social security and more. Severin had two brothers, Melvin and Gilman, who at one time ran a hotel in Minot, North Dakota with Severin.

All records were moved to a place nearby called New Town. Van Hook was a fair bit south of Minot, and is now underwater as a result of a big hydro dam project. Severin's side of the family has been a mystery, along with his suspicious disappearance from the Van Hook, North Dakota area, possibly around 1922.
