Gravestone: Arne Johansen HUSEBYE

Arne died on 25 Apr 1894 and was buried in the Glenwood Lutheran Cemetery. The inscription below the dates most likely is a variation of "Fred med dit støv, velsignet være dit minde." This means in English, "Peace to your dust [i.e., earthly remains], blessed be your memory."

When I visited my parents in Dec 2014, we took a drive up to Decorah and visited several area cemeteries. I was able to get another shot of Arne's gravestone. The lichens are unfortunately getting thicker.

Gravestone: Johanna M. HUSEBYE

Johanna died 19 Aug 1904 and was buried beside her husband in the Glenwood Lutheran Cemetery. Her inscription is on the opposite side of the stone from Arne's. The writing below the dates is not legible unfortunately.

As mentioned above, when I visited my parents in Dec 2014, we took a drive up to Decorah and visited several area cemeteries. I was able to get another shot of Johanna's gravestone. In the background one can barely see Glenwood Lutheran Church.

He was buried on 9 Sep 1929 beside his wife. Martin's birth year is incorrect and should read "1867."

It is curious that both of the above records also list a Mrs. Martin HUSEBY who died on 18 May 1929 and was buried on the 21st. After looking again through the HUSEBY booklet, I noticed there were two obituaries for Mrs. Martin HUSEBY. Apparently Martin married an Elise (Ellingsen) Haneborg after Kjersti's death. The following is her obituary.
