Hi Kelly,
In the obituary index to the Crookston Daily Times newspaper are these:
Tronnes, son of E.J. age 12, Nielsville
issue: 5 Feb 1897 page 4
Tronnes, Edward age 95, Nielsville
issue: 4 Nov 1936 page 4
Tronnes, Berger age 70, Nielsville
issues: 7 Jan 1948 page 5
8 Jan 1948 page 2
Lillemoe, Bertha Tronnes age 89, Erskine, Minn
issue: 18 Dec 1969 page 2
Parrish, Julia Tronnes age 85 Nielsville
issue date 29 July 1974, page 2
Re some of the other Tronnes' in the area, the Norman County, Minnesota history has two stories one on Andreas Tronnes and the other on Ole Tronnes. The actual book title is In the Heart of the Red River Valley, A History of the People of Norman County, Minnesota published in 1976 by Norman County Heritage Committee and Norman County Historical Society page 425-426. Abstracting information which explores their Norwegian roots:
Andreas and Oline had five children, three boys and two girls:
the boys' names were Ole, Edward, Theodore and the girls are not named other than their husband's names--one married Robert Ray from Belmont, N.D. and the other married Martin Swenson who lived west of Crookston. Ole was born 26 Sept 1842 in Osterdalen and at the age of 16, Andreas and the family moved to Nordland and took up fishing. Ole came first to America in 1869, settling near Zumbrota in Goodhue county, then he moved to Wilkin County in 1871 and by November 1871 he was in the Nielsville area.
Your Edward Tronnes is noted twice in the Rowberg Biographical File. His obituary was published in Skandinaven 17 Nov 1936, mentions these survivors: sons Jens in Alberta, Canada, Berger in Nielsville, daughters Mrs. Nick Lillemoe in Winger, Minn; Mrs. Joe Parresh in Devils Lake, N.D., and Mrs. Clara Bingham in Nielsville.
The other mention is a longish article in Volume II, page 53 of the "scrapbook" section, which was published in Skandinaven 27 Oct 1920, but dated 1 August 1920. The article is in the old Gothic script and also is "doubled" and difficult to decipher. It covers a 50th wedding anniversary story on Edward Jensen Tronnes and Berthe. It mentions Edward's birthdate as 28 Aug 1841 and his parents as Jens and Berte Tronnes and his birthplace as Loitens Prestegjeld Hedemarken, Norway and wife Berte's birthdate as 10 Sept? 1841 ? and her parents as Knut and Marie Knutsen her birthplace as Gudbrandsdalen, sondre Flom ? , Norge. It says that they had 12 children and of these 6 are now living. The living are Jens in Alberta, Canada, Berje at Nielsville, Beara Mr. Nicolai Lillemar at Erskine, Minn. Julia, Mrs. Joe Peris in Iowa ? Clara Mrs. John Bingham in Nielsville, Martha in Fargo N.D.
Hilsen,

| Hi Kelly! This forum is so old that you may never see this. My great-great grandfather was Jens E. Tronnes, who raised many children in New Norway, Alberta including my great-grandmother, Mae Dorothy Tronnes Bolding. |
