The 1930 US Census clearly has the parents listed with the last name Myhre and the first child as Anderson and married. The following children have only a line for their last name indicating the same last name as the person above. Perhaps the line was meant to indicate back to the parents and not to the one married daughter whose married name could very well be Anderson.

Martin Myhre may have had another wife (or not) / family or child before he married Anne Hildahl:
Pearl’s birth:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VR8S-1G3
name: Pearl Myre
event: Birth
event date: 12 Dec 1910
event place:Brookfield Township, Worth, Iowa, United States
gender: Female
father: Martin E Myre
mother: Emma Orpen
certificate number:
film number: 1477150
digital folder number: 004708027
image number: 00329
Pearl Orpen 1920
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MDMY-TNF
Pearl Orpen 1930
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XMKJ-RTD
Two submitters to Ancestral File, identify Martin E Myre & Emma Orpen as parents of Pearl and Martin E. Myre as husband of Anna Hildahl. Emma dies in South Dakota in 1982:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/99X4-YB6
In the 1920 census Emma Orpen, listed as single, age 25 born Iowa is living in Nelson County, North Dakota with her son Delles (?) age 6 born North Dakota:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MC82-FKX
Since the Ancestral file entry gives her death place as Aneta, South Dakota, it may have been confused with Aneta, North Dakota which is in Nelson County. But neither Emma nor her son appear as Orpen in later federal censuses in North Dakota.

| Thank you again! On Genealogy Bank I found articles on a Martin G. Myhre who was a business tycoon in Grand Forks and Seattle, He was in the 1930's in charge of the Seattle Farmer's Market (now called Pike Place Market), but he immigrated at a different time, I am sure the Iowa Martin is the right Martin because of the immigration year and the names of his parents. He was either married twice or the first child, Pearl with Emma Orpen, may have been illegitimate. |

| Thank you all for your help. I have now located all of the family members except for the father, Erik Fredriksen, born 1854, who came to America on the ship Celtic from Liverpool on 31 July 1904, with his daughter Anna Fredrikke Eriksen, and I have not found him anywhere after that, either in America or Norway. The children took the last name of Myhre in America, and Elise and Anna married brothers, Gilbert and Jacob Hanson, and all three of the children lived in Saskatchewan at some time. but what happened to Erik? I have searched death records in Jevnaker thinking that he may have gone back, but with no success. |

| Hello Rortiz, There is a descendant of Erik Fredriksen Myhre in Eggedal Norway that is very anxious to get in touch with relatives. I started this forum because she wanted to find out what happened to her relatives in America. Would you be willing to communicate with her? She is descended from Marie Eriksen, daughter of Erik and sibling to Martin, Elise and Anna, She is a wonderful person. |

| I would love to speak with her! I made a mistake, my great grandfather is Martin Myhre, Aggie Reese is my Grandmother. My Great Aunt Mabel is still living in Northwood, IA, however it may be hard to communicate with her because we do not live near by. I am in Lincoln, Nebraska. I will try to answer any questions. I am also on Facebook if she would like to communicate that way. |

| Hi, my name is Wendy Serr from North Dakota. I am looking for any information on my great grandma Emma Orpen. She was born in Kensett, IA. I believe her parents are Bjorn and Anna (Olson) Orpen. Not sure how old she was at the time she traveled to ND but Emma had a son named Delos Stanley Whitman (my grandpa) who was born in Benedict, ND. We were told she traveled by train and ended up in Aneta, ND with Gpa Delos at 6 months old. She was hired by Erick B. and Annie Hillesland as a cook Laborer for the thrashers at their farmstead. There were a few families that lived at this farm and the other couple was my great aunt and uncle Sam and Sezel Hillesland. When Gpa Delos was around 1 or 2 years old, GG Emma was going to travel to Duluth, MN. E.B. and Annie said she could go but was not going to take Delos with her as I am assuming she had no money. She agreed and left for Duluth and went on to marry Delbert A. Thompson. Not sure if E.B. and Annie adopted Delos but they raised him. This is how he met my Grandma Mildred Kulseth and they got married. They had 3 children, Denny, Myrna (my mom) and Todd. What I am curious to know is who my GG Emma and Gpa Delos's side of the family is. We never knew who his parents were, let alone his own father and are eager to find out if anybody knows anything. Loved reading everyone's articles and we didn't realize you were looking for us as we were also looking for you. Everything appears to be a mystery around her and my grandpa. So many unanswered questions..... Any reply or comments would be greatly appreciated and will answer any questions you may have. I also have my full family tree at ancestry.com. Thank you~ Wendy |
