"...
Käri Bjelland married Hans Bjelland, a sea-faring man. They moved to Bjelland in Sunde Sohardland when Vollie was 2 yrs. old. Hans was shipwrecked at sea, was in a hospital in northern Norway for a time, then came home. He had pneumonia, then developed tuberculosis - being sick a year before he died in 1900. Käri worked in a fish factory in Sunde until 1907. At this time her 3 brothers who had immigrated to America sent tickets for the family to come to America to make their home. They arrived at Ellis Island via ship, then came by train to Kanawha, Iowa. Vollie was 15 yrs old, Helmer 12 yrs and Nellie 9 yrs old. Käri, our great grandmother, was 42 yrs old. The year was 1907. They lived with an uncle at Kanawha for a time, moving to Eagle Grove after a year or two. Our grandparents met when Grandma worked in the hotel where the railroad men lodged in Eagle Grove."
