     I began researching my Norwegian ancestry three years ago.  Ole Olson Hetletvedt was a brother of my 4xgreat grandmother Ragnilla Olesdatter Hetletvedt who came from Norway in 1843.  This connection eventually led me to the Olson plot with its four unmarked graves.  After obtaining copies of James’ Civil War service records I ordered a “free” headstone for him from the Veterans Administration.  This monument was installed during October 2005.
