I think Andrew and wife, Gunhild NESS were born in Norway and perhaps married there. They may have married est 1892. They had at least 6 children: Martha, Charles, Doris, Oscar, Vernon & Thelma NESS. They lived in Minnesota, but I don't know where. Perhaps Gunhild NESS was living with one of her children in Clearwater co, MN when she died there on 13 Sep 1961. Her maiden name was Gunhild OLSON born on 22 Jan 1872 "out of state", according to the Minnesota Death Index. There are 14 NESS deaths recorded in Clearwater co, MN in the MN Death Index.
