Her actual name was Annette Emilie Bensen the daughter of Anton Benson and Gunild Jorgine Gullikson...
Born 12/20/1861 in Røyken, Buskerud,Norway, Immigrated in 1881
Lived in Sawyer county, Wisconsin most of the time since then, in Sand Lake most of the time where she ran a boarding house/bar.
Married 3 times....Nilson (although I have the first name as Arthur Elmer Nelson Sr), Daniel Sather and finally Joseph Larson.
She had a child with Nelson, Arthur Elmer Nelson jr.
3 with Sather, Florence, Gertrude and Eva
2 with Larson, Walter Charles Larson (my wifes Grandfather) and Raymond.
Annette died Aug 29, 1929 in Rhinelander, Wisconsin and is buried at the Forest Home Cem. in that city....her headstone lists her as Anna Larson 1861-1928.

Here is her baptism in Røyken, she is number 13 on the page: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=5901&idx_id=5...

Her first names are Anette Emilie, her father is Anthon Berntsen and her mother is Gunild Jørgine Gullichsdatter.

And this is her confirmation in Røyken church Oct. 1st 1876, she is number 36: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=5902&idx_id=5...

And we can se that her full name is Anette Emilie Antonsdatter, not Anette Emilie Bensen.

Quite common, in the "old Country" to use the patronomic name and once getting to North America to revert back to a surname.....Of course her fathers Surname appears to be Berntson, but Bensen would be an americanization of that....

I made an error in my previous posting, her date of death was Aug 29, 1928 ( I had put 1929 in error)......

I had downloaded some of those files from arkivverket the other day, but had missed Annette's ......so thank you....

I have some data on the descendants of Walter Larson if you are interested......contact me at den.bartholomew@gmail.com
