Their only son, Ole married Guri Melby and had 5 children in the Cottonwood and Ghent area. He worked as a buyer for general stores and graneries. I have possession of his blotter book that has the imprint of many letters he wrote during the 1880-1890's. Also looking for RYEN, a last name that was written up in the same obit. This name was supposed to be a relative of Juel?
