Helge Helgevold Lund obituary From the Mason City Globe-Gazette, 20 March 1957 Helge Lund Dies; Funeral to Be Friday
EAGLE GROVE—Funeral services for Helge H. Lund, 71, Thor farmer, will be held at the Thor Lutheran Church on Friday at 2 p.m. The Rev. Olaf Brandt will officiate.
Mr. Lund died in a Fort Dodge hospital Monday afternoon. He is survived by his wife, Bell; four sons, Peter, Clarion; Norris, Thor; Nellard, Goldfield, and Harold, Thor; and a daughter, Mrs. Harold Kvale, Eagle Grove. A brother, John, San Francisco, Calif. also survives.
Odd Fellow rites will be held from the Scaquety Funeral Chapel at 8 p.m. on Thursday and burial will be in the East Ullsvang Cemetery, Thor.
Helge's father's name was Faltin Helgevold. Helge was the youngest of seven children when Faltin and Helga (wife) Helgevold immigrated to North America from Norway on the S.S. Sardinian 14-24 April 1887 (see ship's manifest in attached story). At the time, Helge was a five-month old infant. The mother Helga died a few months after immigrating to the U.S. in 1887. At some time after arrival in U.S., the infant son Helge was adopted by Peder J. Lund and his wife, Torkelanna Lund (see 1900 U.S. census record for Helge Lund) who raised Helge as an adopted son. Based on the 1900 U.S. census, Peder and TorkelAnna had been married 22 years and had two previous children, both living, but those two children were not living with their parents in 1900. Some of this information was probably documented more fully in the 1890 U.S. census, but those records were presumably loss in the infamous fire.
My great "Uncle Jack", John W. Hanson (aka Johannes Wilhelm Hansen Helgevold) of San Francisco, was an older brother of Helge Lund and apparently visited the Lund family often (in Thor, Iowa) , including his niece Iona (Lund) Kvale and her husband Howard Kvale. I knew my Uncle Jack (b. 1881 in Norway, d. 1973 in San Francisco) as a child, teenager, and young adult when I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I never met any of my other Norwegian relatives who remained in Iowa. These are my personal interpretations based on the available records and my own mother's recollections.
