Well, the A. Granheim uncle may be this man Anders Anderson Granheim who left Vestre Slidre in 1903 for Iowa:

http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/gen/vis/8/pe00000000537909

Probably the same Anders in the 1910 census living in Long Lake Watonwan county, Minnesota:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M259-7L4

Anders Johnson Sorengen does not appear as a witness to Anders Granheim's marriage to Ottine in 1906, nor faddernes to the baby Alfred Martin Granheim.

Hard to make a firm identification for a single person with a common name. One of the posted records might be him. So far we're not seeing a consistent occupation to use an indicator.And the candidates don't seem to appear near family.
