So the new information about the parentage of Severin Buness with new names to search, etc. has not really lead to a solution on Severin. A search for all kinds of spellings of both Buness and Ackley in the North Dakota public death index produced no discernible result. Also a try for Severin as Ackley in Genealogybank.com newspaper holdings also didn't produce.
There were three men Severin Buness, Melvin Buness and W.J. Holcombe who were named as the plaintiffs in three suits for damages against the railroad when the three were left in an unheated car on 15 March 1920. There was no word on the adjudication on Severin in a later article about the trials, but Melvin got $300 of the $2000 he asked. W.J. Holcombe's suit was dismissed. Holcombe was also from Van Hook. The trial took place in 1921 in court in Minot, N.D. Not sure what records might be left concerning Severin's suit but might be of interest. |

| Any records for the (ca.) 1928 wedding of Agathe/Agnes to Axel Edmund Nelson? Would be interesting to see if she was described as divorced or a widow. |

Think they moved to Saskatchewan. There is a searchable database of Sask. vital records but the marriage portion is not yet available:

These names make it confusing to follow the records, leading to why this has been a mystery for so long. I appreciate the help.

Tell us about Clara....
So far as I can see, there is only reference to Clara and that is the 1905 census.
In MOMS between 1 Jan 1900 and 31 Jan 1910 there are 42 marriages in which the female party is named Clara. Of the 42, there is no mate named Olaf, Oluf, or Olof. During that same time in Todd county, there is no party named Klara getting married.
Of course, they could have nipped off to some other county to be married but Clara's other biographical information seems to match Sigrid's. So it seems more likely that Sigri = Sadie= Clara.

The original 1905 Minnesota record does not read Clara but Siggri.

Good play! Always look at the original to see if you agree with the transcriptionist! Except this image is from 1895 census.... Here is the 1905 and Sigri is called Clara and the family lives next to Goodman Thompson:

Did Severin change his name and (slightly alter) birth date?
Here is a long shot possible, from WWII draft card for a Severin Bert Johnson born 22 Nov 1889 in Todd County, Minnesota:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939V-WY98-YH?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AV4DD-1J9&action=view&cc=1861144
And he died in 1970 in California. Strangely there seem to be no census records from before 1930....
"California, Death Index, 1940-1997," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VP25-5MV : 26 November 2014), Severin B Johnson, 20 Apr 1970; Department of Public Health Services, Sacramento.

The other son Warren's marriage record in which he names his father as Severin B Johnson born in Minot N.D. !:
"California, County Marriages, 1849-1957", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K8K2-XDY : Wed Jul 10 00:44:47 UTC 2024), Entry for Warren Jay Johnson and Severin B Johnson, 17 Jan 1948.
Warren died in 1977:
"California, Death Index, 1940-1997," , FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VP2S-447 : 26 November 2014), Warren J Johnson, 22 Jul 1977; Department of Public Health Services, Sacramento.
Warren J Johnson was also a witness at Robert Eugene Johnson's, the brother's, marriage.
Warren J may or may not have been Severin's son. This birth certificate names another man as father for a Warren Jay Randall born on the same date same place as Warren Jay Johnson:
