I've uncovered a little more information in that Simon's parents were Amund Jonsen Wold, and his wife was Marit Olsdatter.I don't know if you're familiar with the Norweigan way of naming prior to 1870, but each person was given the last name of the father.So Simon's name was Simon Amundsen Vold.
It also may be helpful to know that the name in Norway was Vold, which is pronounced with a W.I believe they became Wold's when they came to the US and gave their name as WOLD.
