---in Verdal, North-Trøndelag. The baby was in the church February 2, 1886.
The confirmation was September 30, 1900. After that - it is not possible to "find" him in 1900 and 1910. His parents were Gustaf Olsen and Marie Otilie,born Eggen before she was married. Has Sofus Engelbret, too, left Norway for USA?

Here Sofus leaves Norway using Lyng last name, just like his sister:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/8/pe00000000170960
He was listed as occupied as Farmaceut which I think means pharmacist so this might be a possible in 1930 a physician in general practice:

Also says he married at age 25 but there is no wife present, just a roomer.
Here is his death certificate from 1931:
