Vestfold includes such places as Sandefjord, Holmestrand, Lardal, Larvik, Notteroy, Tjome, and Tonsberg. The county administrative center, Tonsberg, is Norway's oldest city, founded in approximately AD 871.

Obituary
Ole A. Knutson died Friday
Funeral services were held at the Bethlehem church for Ole Andreas Knutson Tuesday afternoon with Rev. L.C. Jacobson, of Ada officiating. The church was beautifully decorated with nice flowers and there were many memorial gifts. Mrs. Harry Hage sang “Flee as a Bird” accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Wm. Fevig.
The Pastor preached a very impressive sermon, told of the departed that he asked for communion before he was taken to the hospital and at the hospital before he lapsed into unconsciousness he asked that the Lord’s Prayer be prayed for him. The Pastor spoke of man’s span of life as a voyage or journey where one had the choice of two roads. On this journey the traveler lives in a tent. When the tent breaks down it did not mean that the traveler perishes. The tent is the body and the traveler the spirit. When the tent breaks down the Christian goes home to God. There is no cause for sorrow when a believer goes home to God.
Pall bearers were Henry Bakkum, Ed Christianson, H.A. Asleson, H. Herzog, Sebert Lien and Thos. McDonald.
Interment was made in the west cemetery.
Mr. Knutson was born in Eglon township December 29, 1884 and died September 10, 1943 at the age of 58 years, 8 months and eleven days. His parents were C.J. and Martina Knutson. He was baptized and confirmed in Hegland church.
In 1909 he married Miss Emma Bjerke who passed away in 1914. Four children were born to this union Mrs. S.M. Graves, Niles Knutson, both of Minneapolis; Orville and Kermit both in the U.S. Navy serving their country.
In 1919 he married Miss Margaret Syvertson, who survives him together with their four children, Miss Helene of Long Beach, Cal.,; Miss Harriet of Minneapolis; Miss Verna and Harold at home. Also one brother, Christ, of Minneapolis and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Crowley, of Hawley and Mrs. A.V. Swenson of Long Beach, Cal. There are four grand children, Jannard, Carol, David, and Kermit Knutson.

Feb. 12, 1926-May 4, 2009
Verna R. Nysetvold, 83, of Twin Valley, died Monday, May 4, 2009, at the Palliative Care Unit in MeritCare Hospital, Fargo.
Verna Ruth Knutson was born the daughter of Ole and Margaret (Syvertsen) Knutson on Feb. 12, 1926, in Ulen, where she grew up and attended school.
As a young woman, Verna graduated from Moorhead Teacher’s School. She taught at a rural school near Sebeka before marrying Arnt Nysetvold on April 10, 1949 in Ulen. The couple made their home in Twin Valley, where they raised seven children. After their children were grown, Verna was a teacher for the Title 1 program in the Twin Valley School. She also served as a substitute teacher for area schools for several years before retiring.
Verna was an active member of Zion Lutheran Church, where she enjoyed ladies aid. She was a member of the Modern Study Club and the American Legion Auxiliary, serving as president and secretary over the years.
Verna was often the hostess for extended family gatherings. She enjoyed making meals for her family, and was especially renowned for her impossibly thin lefse, flavorful roasted meats and gravies, and hearty baked beans. She loved to participate in American Legion bingo, playing cards, and traveling. In her younger years, she liked to go camping and bowling. She loved spending time with her family and treasured the time she spent with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
While she was a young mother, Verna was an apt seamstress, sewing holiday and special occasion garments for her children. In later life, she sewed welcome flannel blankets for her grandchildren. She and Arnt were often right-on-the-spot with the birth of a new grandchild, eager to help with the cooking and laundry, so mom and dad could focus on the new baby.
Verna was a devoted caregiver for her husband, Arnt, for several years after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and before he moved to the Twin Valley Living Center. After 50 years of marriage, Arnt died on Nov. 4, 1999. Verna continued to live at home until moving into the Twin Valley Living Center in 2003, where she enjoyed wonderful care from staff and volunteers until the time of her death.
Surviving Verna are two sons, Joel (Lynelle) Nysetvold of Twin Valley and Paul (Janet) Nysetvold of Fargo; three daughters, Margit (Lyle) Bakke of Flom, Minn., Maren (James) McGowan of St. Paul and Marcia (William) Garberg of Hutchinson, Minn.; 14 grandchildren, nine great grandchildren; as well as several nieces and nephews.
Preceding Verna in death were her parents, Ole and Margaret; husband, Arnt; two sons, David and Brian; four brothers, Orville, Niles, Harold and Kermit; and three sisters; Helene, Harriet and Mildred.
Funeral services were held Friday, May 8 at Zion Lutheran Church in Twin Valley, with the Rev. Charles Bade officiating. Pallbearers were her grandsons: Mark Nysetvold, Kilty McGowan, John Nysetvold, Zachary Garberg, Erik Bakke and Matthew Nysetvold. Honorary pallbearers were her granddaughters, Sonja Roy, Caitlin McGowan, Sarah Kjono, Ashley Garberg, Jessica Garberg, Gretchen Garberg, Mara Nysetvold and Kya Nysetvold.
Burial took place in Zion Lutheran Cemetery, Twin Valley. Arrangements were entrusted to the

Sara R. Handrup Obituary
When Sara R. Handrup lived in Montauk, she was known as the person who cut 90 percent of the community’s hair and made cakes for people’s birthdays, her daughter Dale Bolton said.
Ms. Handrup, who grew up in Montauk and raised a family there, died on May 31 at Treasure Coast Hospice in Stuart, Fla. She was 86 and had fallen two weeks earlier at a nursing home in North Palm Beach, Fla.
An East Hampton High School graduate of 1940, she married Einar Handrup a year later. Her husband, who died before her, worked as a charter boat captain. Ms. Handrup worked in real estate and later in banking.
She moved from Montauk to North Palm Beach 37 years ago. In the years since, she would occasionally return to the South Fork in the summer, sometimes to see a granddaughter, Tracy Grossman, who lives in East Hampton.
Ms. Handrup was born in New London, Conn., on March 21, 1922, to Siguard Syvertsen and the former Bertha Traver.
In addition to Ms. Bolton, who lives in Hobe Sound, Fla., she is survived by two other children, Einar C. Handrup of North Palm Beach and Janis Gadarian of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren also survive. A brother, Robert Syvertsen, predeceased her.
Ms. Handrup requested that her ashes be scattered over Culloden Point in Montauk, the same place where her husband’s ashes were scattered, so that she could “meet Dad out by the buoy,” Ms. Bolton said.
Services will be private. Memorial contributions can be made to Treasure Coast Hospice, 1201 Southeast Indian Street, Stuart, Fla. 34997.

Grandma Knutson's Chow Chow Relish Recipe
I found this recipe in an old cookbook of hers from Norway,
in that recipe they used green tomatoes instead of cucumbers.
After boiling, put in hot sterilized jars and seal. Then hot water bath
for 20 minutes, remove and let the jars cool, date and put away.
