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.
