The purpose of this work has been to give a brief description of Ivar Knutson Stigen from Dovre and his descendants. interest to see how far a seed can be spread in this short time. People have traveled abroad in the past as well. In a mountain village where the home is over 800 m above sea level, and where the soil is thin and only suitable for grass and forage, there will not be room for many homes on the route kilometer if one is to survive properly. Many therefore seek to find other places with better livelihoods. The time span only spans a scant 150 years, and that is of some importance. The material for this book has been collected over many years, but there will be incomplete information in several places. People nowadays are not always particularly interested in family research. They have more than enough to tempt their followers with everything that happens around our “weasel” earth. It often happens that you don’t get a reply to a letter asking for family information. But on the other hand, there is also increasing interest when it comes to knowledge of the family. It happens that high school students take it as a special task to tell about their family, and once you have started with this work, you will be doing it for a long time. In a book like this, there is no other way to avoid it than that there may be mistakes with years and data. Should there be major errors, you must ask for guidance about it, so it may be possible to send out corrections later. So it is my hope that one or the other will have the pleasure and heart of gaining knowledge about this family that the book deals with. Tynset 1969. Greetings from Ivar A. Streitlien.

The garden is located in Nord-Atndal in Folldal 810 m above sea level. Foldalen’s Alps – Rondane – are the nearest neighboring mountains to the southwest, and one should look for finer mountain forms. On the other sides, there are more rounded mountains covered in white moss above the birch forest. Reindeer thrive in this mountain home, and you can find walled reindeer burrows in Gravskaret, Illmanndalen and in Dørålen. There are many moose graves arranged in long lines like beads on a string, and they tell of moose being caught a long time ago. At the end of the 17th century, folldolers and iron “blends” were located in Atndalen. On Stadsbueyen there is very poor sandy soil that requires a lot of water and a lot of fertiliser. There were grassland islands – which were easy to cultivate. From olden times the Dovringans had a horse harbor here,

eit “stod” = a herd of horses, preferably of mares with a stallion. The shepherd had a small bow by the Borkhus stream overlooking the gardens. The plot was found by Ola P. Søre Oyen, and it is 2.5 m X 3 m square with a fireplace towards one corner. The name of the town then became Stods-bu-oye. The clearing of the farm took place around 1750, as Jo Oleson Jethjellen from Dovre married Marit Guttormsd in 1754. Landem, Dovre, and they should have a farm and a home. Jo Oleson dies in 1772, and in the shift after him there are 8 children mentioned. There were 12 cattle and 31 small animals. The funeral took 10 rd., and this was approved, even though it was a large outlay. For a funeral in Streitlien in 1794, 6 rd. were used, and the sheriff interpreted this to mean that there had been too much food in the grave and demanded 1 rd. in fine. The son Ola Jonson then used the farm for a time, and after him his son named Erland Olason. So Ivar Knutson Stigen deeded the farm on 29/11 1819. In 1828 he also received a deed from his father-in-law to Øvre Sveen. A new family thus entered “Nordre Øy’n”, which was the common name in everyday speech. Stodsbuoye or Stadsbuoye was too long and heavy to use, and therefore the name Oyen has been used. There is a good old-fashioned sound in Stodsbuayen. In 1837, Ivar Knutson Stigen also received a deed to the farm Sæteren from Ole O. Flørhammeren for 95 spd. Ivar Knutson sold the farm Sveen on 27 November 1847 to Ola Ivarson, his son, for 100 spd.

Stigen, Ivar Knutson

The ladder, Ivar Knutson. There is not much that can be found about the fathers of Ivar Knutson Stigen b. 1784. His great-grandfather was Knut Skreddar or Knut Ivarson Tảrud, Dovre b. 1683 d. 6/8 1749. He came as a householder to Tårud in 1720, and that It has been mentioned that he probably came from Holset on Lesja, but this has not been confirmed. He was GM Goro Klemetsd. b. 1675 d. 2/11 1736. She lived in Borkhus when she married. Her brother was teacher Knut Klemetson Fråsådale, Lesja, ancestor of a well-known teaching family, Nygard, on Sell and Vågå td.

Knut and Goro had two sons of whom we know
1. Ivar Knutson b. 1717 gm Rønnaug Sjugurdsd. Ingulsgard, Dovre
2. Per Knutson, shoemaker and salesman in Folådale, a place below Angard, Dovre. In his older days he moved to Äsen and got half the farm, Nørdre Äsen, while his brother, Ivar, got Søndre Åsen.
Ivar and Rønnaug had a son Knut Ivarson Åsen or Stigen b. 13/6 1756, gm Marit Pedersd. Rindal, Dovre b. 5/11 1748. Her father, Peder Ingebrigtson Nistugun Rindal, married in 1745 the widow in Storrusten, Ingrid Sjugurdsd. b. 1713 from Øvre Øy in Vågå. She was of the Tynnol-Valbjørg-Bratt family, and this can be traced back to Harald Hảrfagre.
Marit Pedersd. was born in Storrusten and grew up there. The son Ivar Knutson Stigen, our servant boy there in 1801, and he was then 19 years old (b. 1782). A sister, Ingrid Knutsd. was 15 years old (b. 1786). She later got Stigen Søndre, and this family is on Stigen to this day.
Ivar Knutson Stigen came to Folldal and got the name Småsild-Iva because he traveled to Trondheim and bought small herring which he saw being sold south of Gudbrandsdalen. After him, this stanza will be imitated: “If I were to sit on a rock, I would be fine.”
Ivar Knutson was married to Marit Svennsd. Idle owner. Her father, Svenn Ulateig from Lesja, first rowed a place in Brandsnesgrenda. He then called himself Brandsnes. His place is still called Svennsplassen. Then he moved to Upper Sveen, and he took the name Sveen. Svenn was b. 1751 d. 1831 and gm Ingeborg Paulsd. b. 1754. Children:
1. Gjøda b. 1781 gm Haldog Jorgenson Gåshovde.
2. Marit b. 1782, see above.
3. Mari b. 1798.
It is still unclear whether there was another daughter named Marit b. 5/8 1804 m. Hans Oleson Furuhovdet b. 1773. If so, she must be the oldest.

I. 1. Ivar Knutson Stigen b. 1784 d. 18/4 1848 g. 1811 m. Marit Svennsd. Sveen b. 1782 d. 3/10 1862. Nine children:

II 1. Knut Ivarson b. 1812 d. 4/6 1900, got a deed 28/12 1846, b 15/7 1834 m. Anne Olesd. Stavsviken, Lom b. 1807 d, 26/9 1856. Knut had heard that if on a Midsummer night he walked barefoot over three fields and picked three kinds of flowers at 12 o’clock, put them under his pillow and slept on them, then he had a true dream, but a did not have to speak during the flower search. This he did, and dreamed of a girl whom he had never seen, but she was so clear in his memory that he remembered her all the time. In the winter he was allowed to stay with his father in Lom. They brought with them tares that they were going to exchange for grain.
Late one evening they arrived at the farm Stavsvika in Lom. The father went in and asked if they could get lodging for the night, and they did. Then put the horses in and groomed them for the night, took the food bowl and strolled into the kitchen to get food. There was a young girl cooking porridge. Knut recognized her immediately: she was the one he dreamed of on Midsummer Night. She also became his wife and moved to Stadsbuoyen.
In 1836 he received royal permission to build a sawmill in Myrbekken. This never freezes in the winter, and it is good sawdust all year round. The saw only had one saw blade. The Dovringans, who settled in Grimsdalen, brought a lot of root-dyed and orewood timber, and this he had to saw, because it was one of the conditions for the grant. No matter how cold it was, he stood in his striped shirt, unbuttoned at the chest, and let the cold wind harden him. He was never sick. Only for the last eight days of his life was he bedridden.

Anne Stavsvika had these siblings: Eilif gm Ingrid. Toro gm Per Joten. Margrete gm Haldor Oyen. Knut and Anne had seven children:
III 1. Marit b. 16/9 1834, see Sveen, Erik Oleson.

2. Sissel b. 8/2 1835 d. 9/11 1851. She went barefoot and grazed early in the spring in all kinds of weather, fell ill and died only 16 years old.

6. Ola b. 1847 d. 5/1 1908. Mentally ill.

7. Syver b. 6/1 1854 d. 23/4 1932 and A hard working man. He made sure there was always enough firewood inside, was in a good mood even though he was short-tempered, read all the books he could get his hands on, had a good knowledge of history and geography, had a good memory, and he could amuse himself with funny episodes in a long time afterwards.

There was a mowing event in Systugun Streitlien. Syver was there, and among others also Erland Sæter, a big, powerful fellow who “gave up” everything he could when he sharpened his scythe. The other mowers had little heart to pull the grindstone for him. Syver was strong-armed and said his will. Erland grinded, and Syver left. Erland ate more, but Syver didn’t notice that it was getting harder to pull, he rather pulled a little faster. Erland was in a good mood because of how well it went, and he began to sing the hymn: “I will greet you from God our father that the house he has prepared for you.” He had not got far into the salma, before the blade bent down on both sides of the whetstone and went across. Syver had a lot of fun with this, and smiled brightly every time he told it.

The next user, Ivar Knutson b. 1838, had cleared his daughter’s neighboring garden, Mari Johannesd. Stadsbuøyen b. 1829 d. 4/4 1899 at Fåset in Tynset, and he had two children with her:

IV 1.Olaf b. 19/9 1856. See Øyen, Olaf, Tromsø.

2. Marie b. 18/5 1859. See Swanson, Mary, America.

His father did not want to know anything about marriage between them. The repeat was not good enough for a wife, he thought. Then traveled to Elgevasslien and tinga Ragnhild Toresd. to housewife and wife for her noble son. It is also said that he had pretended that if ‘n Iva’ did not want to marry Ragnhild, then he would do it himself. He was a widower and only 48 years old and could have several children in a new marriage. None of his other children

could take over the farm. Under such conditions, Ivar found it most appropriate to bow to the will of his father.
About the family of Ragnhild Toresd. is to mention that she was the daughter of Tore Jakobson, Snikkerlien, Dovre b. 15/10 1797 d. 22/8 1833, b. 8/6 1822 m. Marit Larsd. Hjerpeliukdun, Dovre b. 1798 d. 8/2 1869. Marit att was the daughter of Lars Gunnarson Arnkleivsholen, Dovre died 1758, and Lars was the son of Marit Ravnsd. Vehl-Tofte and Gunnar Larsson who are descended from Lars Gunnarson Hågå (Arnekleiv), sheriff and leader of the Dovrings in the Scottish battle at Kringom 1612. His battle ax can still be found at Landheim in Dovre.
Tore Jakobson, Ragnhild’s father, was born on the square Snikkerlien under Vigerust, and he descended from the well-known Per Snikker. Tore’s father was Jakob Hansson Snikkerlien b. 1761 d. 30/9 1853, marriage certificate 9/4 1786 (later married) m. Marit Olesd. Hådi el. Head them. They had six children and Tore was the fifth in the line.
Jakob Hansson was a capable carpenter and a good woodcutter. Several beautiful skatolls can still be found on Skeie, on Dalen and near Ola Vigerust. He used Rococo in his wooden shed. He was also master of the coronation chair that King Carl Johan sat in during his coronation in Nidaros Cathedral on 7 September 1818. The chair is now in Stiftsgarden, Trondheim.
Per Person Carpenters of the same family should be even better as woodcutters. Two cupboards at Angard, Dovre, testify to that. He rowed and built Snikkerhaugen, a place below Vigerust, but this is now closed.
There was no fat livelihood for a carpenter or a woodcutter. And Jakob Hansson tried his hand in later years as a farmer when he took over Elgevasslia which his uncle Frek Person had cleared. Frekmyra asks for a name after Frek Person. There is dry, lean soil in Elgevasslien, and grain cannot ripen, so it was also a meager livelihood for Jakob here.
He was unhappy in Elgevasslien and longed to return to Dovre, in any case he was to be buried there. It is said that he offered Gammel-Døl’n Ola Blesterdalen b. 1789 5 dalers if he would drive his coffin to Dovre when he was dead. “No, you can

About Ragnhild Toresd. you can bring a woman. Once she traveled with “spånå” – socks and mittens that she had knitted to Esdalsgruva in Gausdal, to sell the “spånå” to the miners. She rode the whole trip, arrived safely, sold everything she had and bought salt from parishioners who had also come there. Happy and satisfied with the journey, she tied the salt sack on the horse’s back by the side of the saddle and set off for home. It set in with rain, a small stream that she had to cross, had grown up and went into landfill. It didn’t look good, but there was no way around it, she just let the river go. The water rose so high that the salt bag was completely soaked, and most of the salt ran off before she got over. Then she wept over the tragic outcome of her trading journey.

Ragnhild had attended only eight days at boarding school. She learned to read, but could not write. Hjerpeliukdun, Dovre b. 1796 d. 1869. Three children:

was the teacher. It can be seen that the pupils did not get a lot of bookish knowledge, but Just was a strong personality who made a deep impression on his pupils, and Knud Øyen had great respect for his teacher who instilled in him healthy and valuable life lessons. Knud always referred to teacher Just with great pride.

After elementary school, he traveled to Oslo and became a student in 1886, took his legal civil service exam in 1891, was first an attorney with Magistrate Johan Castberg in Gjøvik, then joined the Ministry of Justice as an additional clerk with a monthly salary of NOK. 104.00, quickly rose through the ranks and became head of expedition in 1910.

Knud Øyen had an excellent memory, and he had all the information down to the smallest detail in his head, did not use notes and was said to be “the cleverest man in the central administration”. He made full use of this ability in 1926 when he was appointed county governor in Hedmark. He was only able to take over this position in 1928, because in the meantime he was Minister of Justice in Lykke’s government.

After the appointment, he received many congratulatory telegrams, but the local communist press made bitter attacks and stated that our party “however has no reason to welcome the right-winger Oyen. But we have reason to ask the county’s working class to be aware of the strengthening of the reactionary front that his appointment means.” Hedmark county was called the “red county” because the workers had the majority in the county council.

Knud Øyen had good prospects as county governor. As expedition manager for the administrative department in the Ministry of Justice, he knew the municipalities’ financial position inside out. He was Österdol, a strong and dignified person, not just a civil servant, but a chief of his county. He did not take the position to carry out Hayre’s political program. His task was to travel up and down the crisis-stricken Hedmark county, which was more marked by the recession than any other county. There was a strong reluctance towards the county governor personally, and it required a strong will, great work ability and courage to be able to take on the demanding task. But precisely these

Knud Øyen had the qualities, and at once an optimism and belief that a county with as many ways out as Hedmark had, had to be able to get back on its feet. The political opponents also soon found out that he was the right man in the right place. At the last county council that Knud Øyen chaired, Mayor Fjeld (Ap.) said:

“We met him with distrust, but we judged him too quickly. We thought it was the minister, the politician, the punisher who came, and then it was a heath marking, an osterdøl who came out of love for his own part of the country and who, with the osterdøl’s tenacious energy, stood up for the county’s best interests. Today there is no misgiving.”

There were great economic difficulties in Hedmark, as elsewhere in the country. Knud Øyen, who grew up on a small mountain farm 810 m above sea level in Folldal where corn or potatoes could be grown, knew hard and cramped conditions from childhood, but he had also learned that with work, thrift, solid planning and safe management, could handle the biggest difficulties. He served as county commissioner for seven years, and it may be relevant in this context to quote from the Østlendingen for 16 October 1935:

“There was a strong storm in the county municipality when Knud Øyen took over the helm with an authoritative hand, and as the experienced skipper he was, set he immediately steered into the correct course. There were high surf and many reefs to get past. The boat is now safely in port. The skipper has done his duty. He can disembark with all the respect a skipper can get.”

On 19 April 1912, Knud Øyen was appointed a knight of the Order of St. Olav, 1st class.

Knud Øyen made his home on Ljan, high up with a free and wide view over the Oslofjord and the surrounding area. In memory of his great work in Nordstrand parish where he held many positions of trust for a long time, a road between Aasdalsvegen and Ekebergvegen near Ljabru station has been named “Knud Øyens Veg”.
