Searching for information about my mother's cousin, Thorlief Diesen. He was born 1 May 1893 in Buskerud County, Frogner in Lier. His father was Ole marius Pedersen (Sjaesmo), mother was Indiana Amundson. Thorlief and his parents emigrated to USA in 1910 and lived in Northwood, North Dakota for a while, and in Tioga, North Dakota. The family lost track of Thorlief completely in 1930. Does he have descendants? in Norway? or in USA?

Some of the information I find does not fit perfectly with the Original Posters information. Ancestry.com data seems to indicate Thorleif Marjus age 10 came to the US in 1903 with grandparents Peder Olsen Diesen age 61 and Gina Andrea Diesen age 64 along with daughter ? age 22 named Gelsie ? and going to visit brother unreadable first name Diesen in Minnewauken North Dakota.

Gina Andrea Duren
in the New York, Passenger Lists, 1820-1957
Name: Gina Andrea Duren
[Gina Andrea Diesen]
Arrival Date: 1 Jun 1903
Birth Date: abt 1839
Age: 64
Gender: Female
Ethnicity/ Nationality: Scandinavian
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Cymric

Sedro-Woolley WA United States

Everett A. Arnes, 91, a resident of Sedro-Woolley since 1949, passed away on Monday, February 19, 2007 at the Life Care Center of Skagit Valley in Sedro-Woolley, WA. He was born on October 3, 1915 in Northwood, North Dakota, the son of Edon and Emma (Olson) Arnes. He was raised and attended school in Northwood, North Dakota and after graduating from high school he attended the Asbury Seminary. He later moved to Stanwood, WA with his family. Everett was one of very few that volunteered to go to the South Pole (Antarctic) to rescue Admiral Byrd's party from 1940 to1941. He signed on as a civilian photographer and flew over the South Pole and took aerial photographs of the South Pole. It was also his first and last airplane ride! In 1939 Everett rode his motorcycle across the United States to the Chicago Worlds Fair and returned by way of the Southern States. He was later employed at Puget Sound Power and Light where he was a dispatcher until his retirement. He was united in marriage to Rosemary Thurmond in June of 1942 in Stanwood and they made their home in Sedro-Woolley. Everett enjoyed photography, fishing, golf and making miniature model steam engines. He was an avid leader and supporter of the Cub and Boy Scouts and was instrumental in acquiring the Black Mountain Boy Scout Camp. He was a member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church, the Sons of Norway and Everett started the Puget Sound Live Steamers Association where he served as both president and vice-president. He is survived by 4 sons; Everett Arnes of Houston, Texas, Terry Arnes and his wife, Suwannee of Atwater, California, Herb Arnes and his companion, Linda Brown of Stanwood and Bruce Arnes of North Dakota. 6 grandchildren, Susan, Brian, Nolan, Bobby, Linda and Aaron; 6 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Rosemary in 1997, a brother, Wendall Arnes and a daughter-in law, Lehila (Carroll) Arnes. Graveside services will be held on Friday, March 2, 2007 at 11:00 AM at the Anderson Cemetery in Stanwood, WA. Memorials are suggested to the Alzheimer's Association, 12721 30th Ave. N.E. Suite 101, Seattle, WA 98125. Services and arrangements under the direction of Lemley Chapel, Sedro-Woolley. Share memories of Everett and sign the online guestbook at www.lemleychapel.com

Do they give exact dates of death for Ole Marius and Indianne?

The printed transcribed records of the burials of Peder Olson Diesen and Gina says that the obituary of Peter says he is survived by five sons, so they were apparently not counting Elise. One of the sons is identified as Palmer Diesen.

The WWI registration of Thorleif says that his address is Horse Creek or Hesper Montana.

Palmer Diesen's WWI draft reg card gives his nearest relative as "Gilbert Peterson" of Ripon, California.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K6ZG-XPB

Gilbert Peterson's death in California Death Index:
PETERSON GILBERT 01/30/1868 (father's name=) DIESEN M REST (OTHER) SACRAMENTO 04/18/1956

Gilbert went home to Norway for a visit in 1951:
