Karen Olesdtr Huskelhus she is 8 and is Female and she came from the Huskelhus Nordre farm in Biristrand, Norway. She is the daughter of passengers 297 and 298. There is a family story about her and this ship that goes like this:
"According to Victor Dahlby, his Grandpa told him a story about how he (Bernt) and his sister Karen would play on the stairs of the ship that came to America. Unfortunately, she got sick on the trip over and died. Bernt told Victor she was buried at sea." Although this record doesn't reflect her dying on ship, so I don't know if the story was totally fabricated or if she got sick from they voyage and died shortly after landfall?
