Hello!I'm interested to know if your Ole T. Lee is the same Ole Lee I'm searching for.Here is a bit of the info I have:
Ole Lee b. October 13, 1877 or August 13, 1876 in Christiania, Norway (I was originally given the 1877 date which was taken from the headstone but my Aunt later sent me the information that was written in the family bible, 1876 date). He emigrated to USA sometime before 1905 and there he married Christine Marie OLSON on July 8, 1905 at the Salem Lutheren Church in Deerwood, Minnesota USA. He died on April 10, 1907 in Fargo, North Dakota USA and was buried at Scandia Cemetery, Deerwood, Minnesota USA.
He lived in Fargo with his wife and he was a Tailor by trade and had his own business there. The only information my Aunt could give me on Ole LEE was that his parents names were AUGUST and GERTRUDE. She also said that he had a brother that immigrated to USA (name unknown) who died on the streets of Chicago, Illinois USA. I don't believe that Ole's parents immigrated with him but I'm not sure. I've gotten naturalization papers for an Ole LEE and John Lee dated 5 day of November 1894 but there is also a record of a Paul LEE and Ole Lee dated July 12, 1900.....both naturalization papers are for Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota....these were the only Ole LEE's for North Dakota.
Is your Ole my Ole?
Thanks,
Lynette
