The parents. Johannes Halvorsen and Anne Oline Evensdatter.<br />
Even if Johannes was born in Kristiania, he spent most of his life in Lardal.<br />
He married in 1841 Anne Oline Evensdatter (he was 28 and the bride 19).<br />
They lived on several farms in Lardal, such as Askjemhagen and Smukkestad,<br />
before they bought <strong>Hvaal</strong> in 1864. They ran this farm (with 2 horses, 5 cattle<br />
and 6 sheep) for 13 years. They even had a “general store” here for a period.<br />
When the son Ole took over the farm in 1878 they moved to “Øvre <strong>Hvaal</strong>”<br />
(about 200 meters away) to their oldest daughter Karen Helene. They both<br />
lived until June 1886 – and it happened that they died from pneumonia with<br />
only two days in between.<br />
