There is also an Ole Nordal in 1904 and 1905 in Everett Washington directories who is the proprietor of the Hotel Nordal at 3007 Kromer Avenue, it’s not known if this is the same fellow later in Tacoma or not.
There are years when there are other people with Nordal, Nordahl, Nordall, Nordell last names at different addresses in Tacoma than Ole’s but the only year that another person is listed with Ole is 1929.

Ancestry.com data base has this arrival as April 9. Would this be your Ole.
Ole Andersen Troniud in the New York, Passenger and Crew Lists (including Castle Garden and Ellis Island), 1820-1957 Name: Ole Andersen Troniud [Ole Andersen Thonrud] Arrival date: 9 Apr 1903 Birth Date: abt 1875 Age: 27 Years 6 Months Gender: Male Ethnicity/ Nationality: Norwegian Port of Arrival: New York, New York Ship Name: Hellig Olav
His destination is listed as Ashby Minnesota. That is in Grant County
He is traveling to his Aunt Anne or Aste ? Hansen.
Well that was interesting. My post that you show above is the wrong guy. My guy is on page 300 of the scans and I did find the person you posted above who is the right person on page 310. I am not sure yet how Ancestry has transcribed his name but I will look and see if I can find the transcription. An error also by Ancestry has the arrival date off by one. The correct date is given at the top of the manifest.
Well here he is, the O to an A gave me fits.

Bert Andres Nordall in the U.S., World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 Name: Bert Andres Nordall Birth Date: 12 Mar 1874 Residence Place: Wisconsin, USA Relative: Mrs Bert Nordall
I have received Ole Nordalls obituary from Tacoma library. No family is mentioned. I wonder about the six pallbearers - were they usually family or friends, or were they from the authorities? The obituary mentioned that he was living at the Ozanam home. Was that a home for old people?
He was probably in the Ozanum Nursing Home or Home for the Aged at 1812 Yakima Ave in Tacoma. It was a Catholic social service organization. Does obit say which funeral home handled the services or names of pall bearers?
The obituary says Funeral services at the C.O. Lynn company chapel, the Rev. O.L. Jensen presiding. Burial at Mountain View Memorial park. Pallbearers, Newburn Miller, Arthur Bartlett, Leonard Woodward, Leo McGovern, Harry Welch and Roy Harrington.
A really snarky site called Legacy.com gives this information for Lynn Funeral Home in Tacoma: Lynn Funeral Home 717 Tacoma Avenue South Tacoma, WA 98402-2299
But trying to get a website, email address or phone number led no where.
Another way to get the Ole Nordall and Bert Nordall connected would be to see if there is an obituary for Bert. His death certainly made the news, his obituary might make the local newspapers.
