Ole was supposedly a farm laborer on the estate which Pernille's father owned. It is rumored that she was disowned when she married Ole as he was not considered of high enough standing to be worthy of marrying Pernille. There were living on the Tomasgjerdet farm in Norway just prior to their emigration to the US. They had 5 children in Norway. Ole's father, Peder Olsen, was living on the Fjeldhammer farm nearby at the time. Ole might have inherited the farm from him, but Peder had remarried and lived 5 years after Ole and Pernille had arrived in the USA and the farm eventually was inherited by Marte Gulbranson, Peder's daughter by his second marriage and Ole's half sister. The farm was still owned in 1995 by descendant Adolph Fjeldhammer and he has at least one daughter.
