A few years later, he went back home to Norway but ended up returning to America along with one of his brothers and one of his sisters. He married Marie Ahre in 1881, and they had five children. Ivar passed away in 1942, ten years after Marie, and they were both buried in the Bethlehem Cemetery in Astoria, South Dakota.Scope and Content:
