My 1st cousin 2x removed (3.125) - tree; daughter of Fred Anderson and Anna (Anderson) Olson.
Birth:
Nov 1879 in Norway
Death: 1962 in Muskegon, Muskegon, MI
Marriage: Never married
Immigrated: 1882-1885 note: each census
lists a different year
Although I have not been able to find her,
Louis Andresen supposedly had a sister named Alvilda. Perhaps Alvilda Anderson was named after
her. She herself never married, and on
her gravestone was written “Aunt Alvilda Anderson”.
1900 U.S. Census Summary * 1910 U.S. Census Summary **
* In the 1900 census, it appears that Alvilda (20) and her sister Martha (18) were living with Louis Olson and his family in Michigan City. He was most likely the brother of their mother Anna (Andresen) Olson who had recently died (~1899). Anna had been raised in Michigan City. Interestingly another daughter, Louise, was living with Fred’s brother, Louis Andresen, in Chicago for this census.
** In the 1910 census, Alvilda is living
with two of her sisters, Martha and Annie, along with Martha’s son Martin
Olson. She is listed as the head of the household
which was located at 384 Grand Avenue.

I’m not really at all sure yet what to call
him. On Fred Anderson’s death
certificate he is listed as Andrew (possibly Andreas) Anderson. Fred’s brother, my great grandfather, gave us
our surname of Andresen. I have reason
to believe that his name on some of the Norwegian documents appears as Andreas
Olsen.
My only knowledge of him so far is that he
mentioned in Fred Anderson’s Death
Certificate. I
believe that his name in Norway may have been Andreas Olsen because it appears
to be that on a number of Norwegian documents mentioning Louis.

* I’m not certain that this is our Fred Anderson. This person was born in Norway, and he is listed as a boarder living with the Johnson family. It also shows that his occupation was a saw mill worker which fits into his supposed logging industry in New Hampshire. Since he was 19 when this census was taken and he was married at 19, it appears that he was living perhaps a cousin (last name Johnson which was his mother’s maiden name).
Find-a-Grave Snapshot – listed as Fred Anderson, birth: unknown; death: 3/19/08; burial: Oakwood Cemetery, Muskegon, Muskegon, MI, plot 1-26-13.
Obituary – a well known Norwegian-American resident; hung himself in his home at 338 Southern Avenue, Muskegon, MI; his daughter Louise found him; probably despondent over his recent heavy indulging in intoxicants; another daughter: Martha Olson discovered he was missing; 51 years old (birth~1857); born in Christiana, Norway; immigrated to the U.S. 25 years ago (~1883); has been a resident of Muskegon for 25 years; wife died 9 years before (~1899); survived by four daughters: Mrs. Martha Olson, Miss Alvilda Anderson, Miss Louise Anderson and Miss Anna Anderson as well as a brother and sister living in Indiana.
Note: Fred’s obituary states that he had
been a resident of Michigan City for 25 years; however the obituary for his
daughter Louise (she died one year after Fred) says that she had moved to
Muskegon from Michigan City 9 years earler.
Perhaps because of her tuberculosis she had lived with other relatives,
including Louis Andresen (she appears on his 1900 U.S. Census).

It is interesting that Olsen was Martha’s
married name and Olson was her mother’s maiden name.
1900 U.S. Census Summary * 1910 U.S. Census Summary **
* In the 1900 census, it appears that Martha
(18) and her sister Alvilda (20) were living with Louis Olson and his family in
Michigan City. He was most likely the
brother of their mother Anna (Anderson) Olson who had recently died
(~1899). Anna had been raised in
Michigan City. Interestingly another
daughter, Louise, was living with Fred’s brother, Louis Andresen, in Chicago
for this census.
** In the 1910 Census Martha is living with
her sister Alvilda (head of household), her sister Anna, and her son,
Martin. The previous year her sister
Louise died in this same residence, which was described as Martha’s home. Sometime between 1900 and 1910 she was
married, but to date I don’t know his first name. She also died this year, and on her death
certificate I learned that she was the mother of 4 children, 1 of whom was
still lving.

So far I have not been able to find out anything about this person. I have been told that Louis Andresen had two brothers, one of whom he accidently killed while wrestling. I found one article that referenced a visit to Louis Andresen who was living in Elkhart by his brother Conrad Andresen from Chicago. The most likely explanation is that his visitor was actually his brother-in-law, Conrad Magnuson, who was married to his wife’s sister. It is not uncommon for newspapers to totally mess up the facts. This would also explain the reference to him being a well-known athlete in the Chicago area.

Notes from Dad – He thinks Louis sold out his part of Elkhart Brass to Bunn Hansen and with the profit started Elkhart Screw Products for Harold. I believe Juilie said she didn’t think that was accuate. Harold had worked at Jessens (another machine shop). He partnered with Hugo Havlish to start Elkhart Screw Prodcucts. Harold ran the office and Hugo ran the shop in the middle 30’s.

“Uncle
Harold had a huge truck load of cinders delivered to make a driveway down the north
side of my lot. He also helped with his truck to deliver the chimney blocks and
watched me build the chimney. My folks were so opposed to my marriage that my
Dad never helped me a bit nor even stopped by to see how I was doing. That all
changed when you were born!” E-mail from Dad on 7/21/2012
Other notes from Dad: Harold was crippled with polio before he and Aunt Evelyn got married. Her parents, the Martin’s, were not very happy about their marriage. He was a bookkeeper for Elkhart Brass, but he went with Hugo Havlish and formed Elkhart Screw Products. When Harold died, they sold to Arbogast.

Notes from Dad: Louis and his two brothers came from Osolo, Norway on a boat to the United States. Penny mentioned that Aunt Evelyn told her that they had to stay in the steerage part of the ship. Upon arriving in the United States, they worked for a while in New Hampshire in the logging industry. Later they moved west to Chicago, where Louis owned a deli. One of his brothers was Frederick (Fritzchoff in Norway), who moved to Michigan. I now believe that he went by the name of Fred Anderson who lived in Muskegon. Louis accidentally killed one of his brothers while they were wrestling. I’m not sure which one it was.
Louis had a sister named Alvilda. He and Inga moved to Elkhart ~1900 with Bunn Hansen to start Elkhart Brass, a fire extinguisher company. Ray and Ken Kiefer started a bushing business, and they did business with Elkhart Brass. Ray Kiefer’s son, Cindy’s brother, got a good job with them. Later Bunn bought him out.
Louis wanted to have a farm, so at one point he switched houses with Aunt Evelyn’s parents. Aunt Evelyn sold produce at the farm, and Dad can remember a big cash register.
Note: Louis moved to Elkhart sometime between 1900 (he is included in a census in Chicago and in 1910 he was living at 1128 Cassopolis Street according to the Elkhart Directory. If the Andresen who had a visit from his brother Conrad was our Louis, he moved to Elkhart around 1903 “a couple of years before the visit” according to the article.
There was a Louis Anderson who lived in Elkhart on State Street at least between 1900-1910. He and his wife, Itha, lived on State Street. He was born in April 1880. I have found many Louis Anderson articles which referred to my great grandfather who lived on 1128 Cassopolis Street in Elkhart. I am not certain yet if there was another Louis Anderson who lived on Cassopolis Street. He was a brakeman for the railroad.

Other newspaper articles give evidence that he was married to someone else as late as 1908 and the 1910 census confirms he was still married to Ora. His wife visited her parents in late 1908. However the 1920 Census shows that he was married to Emma and that on 12/12/1922 his wife’s father, Harvey Wheaton of Angola, visited his daughter. So Ora must have died and Elmer remarried sometime between 1911 and 1920.

Elkhart Truth Obituary Search – Birth 10/6/1872, 8/12/50, Maiden name Wheaton. Lists her name as Emma Jean (Wheaton) Hess
Visit from father Harvey Wheaton Mrs. Elmer Hess and her sister Mrs. Oscar Conde were visited by their father.
Daughter Beulah’s Wedding Article – listed as Mrs. Elmer Hess; however daughter Beulah’s maiden name was Nichols. So Mrs. Elmer Hess must be the same as Emma Jane Hess buried next to Beulah with (mother) written on the gravestone. Evidently Emma Jane’s first husband (father of Beulah) must have had the last name of Nichols, and her second husband must have been Elmer Hess.
Timeline: Born 1872, visited by father in 1922, living with Elmer Hess in 1940 census, died in 1950.
Other newspaper articles give evidence that Elmer was married to someone else as late as 1908 and the 1910 census confirms he was still married to Ora. His wife visited her parents in late 1908. However the 1920 Census shows that he was married to Emma and that on 12/12/1922 her father, Harvey Wheaton of Angola, visited both of his daughters. Emma’s sister was living with Elmer and Emma according to the 1920 U.S. Census so Ora must have died and Elmer remarried Emma sometime between 1911 and 1920.
Gravestone – listed as Emma Jane Hess; birth: 10/6/1872; death: 8/12/1950; mother.
