• Notes

  Tombstone is isle 51 in front group at Lakeview Cemetery, Calumet, MI. Lived in Ishpeming, MI for awhile. Trondkjem is near Oslo in Norway. Died Of Liver Cancer Per Bible According to grandson Ken McLeod, he lived in older age (1939-44) with the McLeods until his death. He came over through Ontario Canada at age 17 in steerage class. He worked in Ontario in the mines for two years then went back to Norway and married Karen Eggen. He took her and mom and dad back to Ontario. Calumet and Hecla mining recruited there. They went to Ishpeming and Sivert was in a blast in the mine that killed his partner, so he decided to get out of mining. He went into baking with John(?) Eggen - who was the father of Karen. There may have been a son John as well and other Eggens came over with Sivert. The baking company was Eggen and Hoyem in Laurium. Ken said he went back to Norway, 4-5 trips, the last in 1934 or 33 in which he helped other relatives come over to the US. Check photos with Gordon Hoyem and Ken McLeod for details.
