He later would become the first president of the re-organized Norwegian Synod (ELS). On leave from his Mayville, North Dakota congregation he had been instrumental in organizing both Parkland Lutheran Church and Pacific Lutheran Academy and Business College [now Pacific Lutheran University]. Rev. Harstad felt a personal responsibility for the indebtednes of the school. On February 9, 1898 he left for the Klondike in an attempt to "solve financial problems" for the coiJege. During his journey, Rev. Harstad wrote a series of letters to the Pacific Herald newspaper. This issue of <!&ak 'E.£abe.S is devoted to a summary of Bjug Harstad's life from birth until that day in 1898, a century ago, when he boarded the steamer City of Seattle. Excerpts from his early letters also are included. The letters were translated by Bjug's son, Oliver Harstad, and the biography was prepared by his grandson, Dr. Peter T. Harstad. -·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·J Bjug Harstad first president of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Our subject was as unusual as his name. Bjug (pronounced like "bugle," but without the "le") was relieved when he was old enough to realize that his name simply meant "bent," not "bent nose" or "hooked nose." Late in life he admitted that his nose did have a hard lump, but the point of it did not turn down. "Indeed, I had to accept my fate as regards both name and nose." The eighth of ten children in his family, Bjug Aanondson was born Sunday 17 December 1848 in Valle, Setesdal. The Otra River drains this beautiful valley of southern Norway and empties into the North Sea at Kristiansand. Because it was high above the valley floor and steeply sloped, the family land had little potential beyond the grazing of livestock during the summer months. ~utumn 1998 - ,lBage 2 Other than church records, the earliest In 1855 Bjug's oldest brother Kittil known family documents relate to immigrated to America.

  • Norwegian Surnames in America
    Norwegian Surnames in America Surnames During the Immigration Period From 1825, the year of the first organized Norwegian immigration to the USA on the sloop Restauration, until the beginning of the next century, about 900,000 Norwegians immigrated to America. For most of them, the destination was the USA. During the 1800s , most Norwegians did not have a set surname. They had a given name (Anna, Knut), which was their actual name, and a patronymic, which consisted of the father’s name and the suffix son/sen (English son) as in Knut Andersen or dotter/datter (English daughter) as in Anna Larsdatter. This name provided information as to whose daughter or son the person was. If the individual lived on a farm, the name of the farm was added to the two previous names, more like an address than a surname. In an official document the name might look like this: Anna Larsdatter Helland, i.e. Anna is the daughter of Lars and lives on the farm Helland. Among the gentry during the 1800s, it had become customary to have a set surname. Gradually, society was becoming more organized with a growing bureaucracy, which put demands on a more dependable system for identifying its citizens, but it wasn’t until 1923 that the Norwegian Parliament, Stortinget, passed a law requiring all Norwegians to take a set surname or family name. When emigrants were registered on departure from Norway, and on their entry into America, they needed to have a surname. The choice of name could vary a great deal within a family, and it could also be changed during the first decades in the new country.

  • AURE I Øvre OTRA
    Fiskebiologiske undersøkingar i Otravassdraget Rapport 12/2015 AURE i øvre OTRA Prøvefiske i Otra på strekningen Hartevatn - Ose 2010-2014 Av fiskebiolog Arne Vethe, Bygland kommune Forord På oppdrag frå Otteraaens Brugseierforening har underteikna utført fiskebiologiske undersøkingar i 7 lokalitetar på strekningen Hartevatn – Ose. Otteraaens Brugseierforening har konsesjon for regulering av vassdraget og undersøkingane er ein del av gjennomføring av ”Handlingsplan for innlandsfisk i regulerte deler av Otravassdraget”. Planen innebær ei oppdatering av status for fiskebestandane og vurdering av pålegg om tiltak eller utsetting av fisk i elv eller regulerte vatn. Ein syklus for undersøking av fiskebestandane i regulerte vatn er etablert. Undersøkelsen består av fiske med Nordiske prøvegarn. I tillegg er det samla inn materiale for å kartleggja parasittar på fisken i Flånè. Tor Moseid har stått for det meste av arbeidet med dette i 2011 og 2012. Ved prøvefisket i Bykil i 2012 vart det teke vassprøvar analysert av Espen Enge. Resultata av desse er presentert i vedlegg, avsnitt 5. For strekningen av Otra nedanfor Valle støttar vi oss på vasskjemiske undersøkingar gjennomført i regi av Blekeprosjektet frå 2010 til 2014 i same område. Underteikna har utført innsamling og prøvefiske, bestemt materialet og utarbeida rapporten. Målsettinga med undersøkingane er å gje ein status for fiskebestandane og vurdera forvaltning.

  • A Table in the Wilderness
    A Table in the Wilderness [Our Legacy as the Spiritual Successors of the Norwegian Synod] By Rev. Craig A. Ferkenstad We, in the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, trace the founding of our American Lutheran identity to a September day under two oak trees at a place called Koshkonong in Dane County, Wisconsin. On Monday, September 2, 1844, more than 150 years ago, a Lutheran pastor from Norway gathered with a small group of immigrants beneath these oak trees in the western part of the Koshkonong settlement. These men and women had come with their families from Norway. Already they had established settlements at LaSalle County, Illinois, in 1834 (Fox River); Rock County, Wisconsin, in 1838 (Jefferson Prairie and Rock Prairie); Racine County, Wisconsin, in 1839 (Muskego); and Dane County, Wisconsin, in 1840 (Koshkonong). Most had come for economic reasons. In their brightly painted wooden emigrant trunks many of them had packed their precious Bible, the catechism [Forklaring], a book of sermons [Huspostille] and a hymnbook [Psalmebog]; but they were lacking pastors to serve them. By the summer of 1844, there were neither any church buildings nor any fully organized congregations among the Norwegian immigrants. There were only two pastors serving the Norwegian Lutherans. Elling Eilsen was a lay-preacher who had consented to be ordained by a neighboring pastor. Claus L. Clausen had come the previous year as a teacher and, upon request of the settlers at Muskego, was ordained at that time. Such was the situation when the twenty-nine year-old J.W.C. Dietrichson arrived in Wisconsin. He was the first ordained pastor to come from Norway.

LSQ 43:2 & 3 119 Foreword In commemoration of the one hundred fi ftieth anniversary of the Norwegian Synod, of which the Evangelical Lutheran Synod is the spiritual heir, this issue of the Quarterly is being devoted to a special remembrance of our history and tradition. This is a time to remember all the wonderful blessings that the Lord has poured out upon His church during the past one hundred fi fty years. We have received a great heritage from our forefathers and we thank the Lord for all His blessings in the past. While looking forward to the future, we want to use the lessons of the past to help guide us on the pathway on which the Lord is leading us. This Quarterly contains significant essays produced throughout the history of our synod. They were valuable at the time they were produced and they still are of vital importance today.
