Okay - this is Berthe and Karinus Bues headstone - I have been translating the chapter about Karinusbua from Osen Bygdebook into english - and here - here they are - Berthe and Karinus!


This is the headstone for Lene Martinusdaughter - my Great Great Grandmothers sister. She and her family immigrated to The United States in 1883. Lene is mother to Dorthea Dahl - a famous writer.
