Margo,

I found your family in 1920 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I will send you the
image off list.

I found a Gust A. Iverson, a Thora Iverson, and a Charlotte O. Iverson in
1930 all in Wisconsin, all in different counties. Charlotte was age 17,
listed as a niece, and the head of house was a Sewall (?) Thompson, single,
age 42, born in Wisconsin, and his mother, Olea?, age 69, widow, born in
Norway.

Gust was in Eau Claire, age 44, was married (but was alone), age 26 at first
marriage, and was a machine operator. Born in Norway of Norwegian parents.

Thora was in Dunn County, listed as a servant in the household of Ole B.
Knutson. She was age 37, married, married at 19, born in Wisconsin, both
parents born in Norway. Ole was a policeman.

I saved all these images too and will send them if you want them.

Connie

| His name is gust iverson, born (suppose to be born in Norway) , in July
9,
| 1884. Never found him in a census. He was reported to have come to
America
| in 1900.
|
| I saw his death I guess they call it index, in Olympia, washington March
| 1, 1942.
|
| I heard he was Naturlized in 1907 but I have not been able to find it.
I
| have info on it still out and not answered.
|
| He was married to Thora Thompson. They had a daughter in 1912 in
Duluth,
| Mn.
|
| I do have a copy of his obit and of his death certificate. His daughter
| (my mother) gave the information and she did not know anything about her
own
| father. It is a crying shame I think.
|
| So that is what I know next to nothing.
|
| Margo thanks
