Hanna's spouse and children from the Kenmare family tree on Ancestry.com:


Reinert Reierson
1875–

Rudy Reierson
1897–1966

Fred Reierson
1899–1944

Henry Reierson
1901–1984

Martin Reierson
1903–1920

Albert Reierson
1906–1975

There is also the Evan Smith Family tree on Ancestry, containing Hanna and three generations below the son Albert. (All private, with no visible info.) This is a very small tree with just a handful of people, so it is probably adminstrated by a descendent. I sent the administrator a message about this thread, but it is more than a year since he last logged in, so he may not see the message for a while.

Joan Smith has written a profile for Albert Reierson on Geni. She may be his daughter. I sent her a message about this thread.

Just what we call a "sjarmøretappe" in Norwegian, the easy last lap, after you picked out Wadena, Iowa.

I couln'r resist looking for Reinert in Norway. According to the marriage record, his parents where Reier <something> and Christine Halvorsdatter, and according to finadgrave he was born Feb. 7 1875. And what do you know, he also came from Tjølling, #38. And here he is with his family in the 1875 Norwegian census:

Nice, but it fits. No one stumbles into Iowa by chance. So they or their families might have been aware of one another before she left Noway. She was not in Iowa long before her marriage.

The family trees I found on Ancestry don't list her year of death. Reinert died in 1950, and according findagrave, the burial was in Oregon. (Although the couple can be found in the 1940 North Dakota census.) I did find her name in an Oregon Death Index on Ancestry, but it could easily be another Hanna Reierson. There are some numbers that could provide more info, but I don't know how interpret them. In any event, the given date of death is July 26 1944. Here is a link if you have an Ancestry subscription.

That seems to be a hard one, but Oregon 1944 is a possibility, as suggested above.

Could you look for his father Reier Olsen, b. 1832 in the same list? #11 & #12 are entries for father and son, leaving Tjølling for Iowa in april 1890.
