In 1916, they decided to move back to Canada (because of the war) and sold Stein nedre and bought the farm Fredheim, where they lived while awaiting passage back to Canada. When it appeared this would take some time, they sold Fredheim and bought a farm in Nøtterøy, a large island joined by a bridge to Tønsberg. They finally got passage back to Canada in the spring of 1918.
