Biography of E. O. Holen
Erlan O. Holen was born in Lesje, Gudbrandsdalen, Norway September 19, 1856. His mothers name was Marith L. Thordhol, also born in
Lesje. His father's name was Ole Thorson Holen, born in Norsteboe, Telemarken (or maybe it was Tyn Telemarken) as early as 1796 and that is way
back to Hans Nelson Hauge's days. E. O. Holen had five brothers and three sisters: John, Lars, Tobias, Math, Ole, Marit, Kari and Juda (or Jennie).
Lars was the first one to come to America and he came here in 1866. Most likely he was with Knut Haugen and Ole Bjokne and took up a homestead a
half a mile west of Lowry. Tobias and Marit were together for some time in a distant part of Norway and came here together 3 years later in 1869. Ole
and Juda together with their parents came in 1873. John had a store (ordrelykken) and E. O. remained to help here in the store for a while. But the
next year, 1874, at the age of 18 years, he too came with two of his neighbors, who were also his cousins, named Swenson. One of these had been in
this country before and it was he that paid for E. O.'s ticket, which took two years to pay back, although he never saw him again after leaving him in
Wisconsin.
... (13 paragraphs)
E. O.'s father died on Lars' farm on a Sunday afternoon, June 10, 1877, at the age of 81 years. He came to Lesje a peddler and settled there
and had a small store. his mother, born May 17, 1817, died October 3, 1907, at the age of 90 years. E. O. was good at figures and was well liked by all
who knew him. Especially was he highly esteemed by his own family. As stated before he was married to Mary Torguson who was born April 22, 1862
and died in June 1933. E. O. felt a great loss by the passing of his life partner, but he bore it patiently for 8 years.
E. O. passed away at his home in Pasadena, Calif. January 17, 1941 at the age of 85 years. He is survived by six children, Mrs. George
Erlandson, Lowry, Minn.; Ole, Tom, Walter, Mrs. J. Swapp and Mrs. Brown, all of Pasadena. Two children preceded him in death, Emma in 1905 and
Tina in 1912.
