Olav Øverland is a lively man to chat with. His son took me over to Steinar Øverland, who lives two miles further west near the church. I stayed there overnight and learned most of what can be told about the old days.

Of those who came here first, only three survive, Steinar, Knut, and Kari Øverland. Steinar is now about 70 years old. Knut is much older, and so is Kari, according to Halvor Eirikson.

These Øverland people are from Øverland in Seljord. They came in May, 1854. The old parents, Johannes Olson Øverland and Tone were with the first group; and with them came their sons, Olav, Knut, and Steinar, and also Kari and Bergit. The others in the party were Harald Olson and his brother, Hans Norbø, from Kjilekroken. Harald Olson had a wife and three children.

Then there was Halvor Eirikson Øverland, who was married to Kari, Steinar's sister.

Also Hans Frantson from Kjilekroken, who was married to Gunnar Dale's sister, was with them. That was all in the first party. Olav Øverland and Halvor Eirikson were up here a year previously looking over the land. The Øverland people had come to America some years previously and had stayed in Wisconsin and Iowa. Hans Frantsen died this last January, aged 79 years.
