Facts and Events
Note that there is another Naadland farm in the Jelsa parish that is on the mainland instead of Naadland. According to a friend that was born on Ombo and whose mother and sister lived on Ombo the Hagen part of Naadland was a local headquarters for the underground during WWII. Laurense sailed from Stavanger in April 1854 (she left the parish on April 25, 1854) on the same boat as her fiance, accompanied by her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs Ove Colvick. When they arrived at Quebec, June 1854, Mrs Colvick was quarentined at the hosptial for cholera. After her recovery the party proceeded to Ottawa, Ill., where they expected to meet another sister, Martha Naadland, who had come to America in 1850. Upon arrival at Ottawa they learned the sad news that Martha had been fatally stricken by cholera, the disease so prevalent and which took so many victims in that day. In 1876 she went with her husband to visit her aged mother in Naadland, Norway. After they moved from the farm in 1890, she made many appliqued and piece quilts. Mrs Syvert Marvig was a faithful wife and mother. A good homemaker, studious and, although she never taught school, she was a real teacher. She read her Bible and other religous books faithfully and knew well how to explain God's word to the admonition and comfort of many. Her daughter remembers that she told of reading her Bible through in 1870, then the new illustrated Bible in 1887 and after her husband's death she put her old Bible away, got a new large print one and read it through. Six days before her 89th birthday she died at home of a heart attack. Her pastor, Rev. T. T. Heimarck, preached her funeral sermon using for his text one of her favorite scritpure passages - Rev. 2:17. Rev. J. N. Anderson, her son-in-law, spoke on a passage which she had years before chosen as her funeral text, Isiah 40:1-2, and her son, Louis, spoke on behalf of the family using 13th verse of 103rd Psalm. In a note left for her children she had written, "Weep not for me when I am gone for I have the positive assurance that I am saved." God grant that her descendants may have the same blessed assurance. The Rogaland parish exit list copies at NAHA, St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN list her as person 20 in the Jelsa lists, who left Jelsa 25 April 1854. Persons 18 and 19 were Ove Torgerson Kolvig and his wife (her sister) Johannesdtr from the same day. She is shown on page 105 of the Jelsa Bygdebok on Brukarar Nadland.
