Per: G. E. Elling J. Winjum's father was Jens Ellingsen Winjum (mararied to Anna Olsdtr. Otterness) and he was a brother to Barbro Marie Ellingsdtr. Winjum Lee, who was Elling Olsen Winjum's mother. Their farms in the pioneer days adjoined each other and to the south of them was their brother, Lars E. Winjum, on the homestead that later became the Mons Fladager farm now owned by Wayne and Marion Bunge. Lars E. Winjum was married to the oldest daughter ofEllend and Ase Ytre Lee Skaim #106a (on what was later the Frank and Lois Hahn farm) They arae listed in the 1860-1875 censuses with a daughter Ase. Sometime before 1896, they have gone elsewhere, probably, Dakota Territory, as Mathilda Glasrud Lee, mentions some Winjum relatives in the Dakotas persuading Knut Lee to come out there to homestead which they did--and which Mathilda packed everybody up and moved back to Spring Grove from the Dakota homestead.This Lars Winjum would have been Knut Lee's great-uncle and a fairly reliable person for Knut to trust with his possessions and family to bring to Dakota Territory. The relationship to Knut, as any thing dealing with the Winjums,was completely ignored by Mathilda Glasrud Lee in her conveyance of this to her children.

Kari and her son Lars Dyrdal emigrated to America in 1854 after her husband Elling died.

Kari was a sister to my (Georgia's) great, great, great-grandmother, Gjøre Dyrdal. In the Black Hammer death records, she is listed as 78 years old when she died in 1872 which would give her birthdate as 1794 instead of 1790.
