Joseph og Mari    

They lived at Allegheny West Liberty Ave. 3061 - 3063.  Part of Dormount Borough, Pittsburgh.
They got a son Roger born 1928 hopfully with luck I can find him.
Census 1910
Pennsylvania - Jefferson - Greater Punxsutawney Borough - Enumeration District 82 - Sheet Number 11B (image 22/70 hos Ancestry) - 22 Day of April 1910: Steetnam unclear for me: Terrence Street? Axel Christoferson in no 322 and Bennie Christoferson in 326.
At census agent vissit 225 and 226, was vissited right after each other: Axel Christofson was 42 years and married first time for 20 years ago, and wife Mena (Mina) was 40 years. Both first marriage. She had 5 children that all lived. Both borne in Norway by Norwegisan parents.
Later we see tha son Oluf is borne in Pennsylvania. Han was 19 years. Other children Bennie 16, Segrede 13, Joseph 11 and Martha 5. Axel worked as'driller'. Immigraston year is difficult to see here, 1883 or 1893 on both.

Ekteskapet mellom Axel og Mina i Norge har vi ikke funnet enda, hvis noen har tips.
Mina var 17 år når hun giftet seg opplyser hun i folketellingen. Trolig giftet de seg et eller
annet sted på østlandet i 1888.

Death at 9:30 o'clock Christmas morning claimed A. Christofferson, for 29 years a resident of Punxsutawney and one of the city's most substantial and respected residents.
Although he has been ailing the past six months and unable to work his condition was not regarded as critical and he retired Saturday night apparantly in his usual health. He arose Sunday morning, became suddenly ill and died a short time later.
The deceased was born in Cristiania, Norway, October 14, 1856 and came to America 29 years ago. He located in this city and for a time was engaged in the drilling business as a partner of Jonas Johannsen. He later went into partnership with O.C. Hoffman in the drilling business and for a number of years past had been a trusted and efficient employe of the Punxsutawney Drilling Company. A kindly, industrious and charitable man, a considerate and loving father those who knew him intimatedly respected him greatly. He was a member of the First English Lutheran church of this city. He leaves his widow, three sons, Benjamin, Olaf and Joseph, and one daughter Sigrid of this place. He also leaves one brother, William, who made his home with the deceased.
The local aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which the deceased was a member, will have charge of services which will be held at the home on Church street Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. C.O. Frank, of the Lutheran church, will be the officiating clergyman. Burial in Circle hill cemetery.

Men hvor er Mina hvis hun er født i 1871 og er søster som alt tyder på burde hun vært med på 75 tellinga.
Hun var 59 år i 1930 census iflge Laila = 1871 også iflg SuperLaila utvandret hun i 1897.

4-Roger CHRISTOFFERSON ble født i 1928 i Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

Generelle notater: One thing that I might still try is to locate information about Axel and Mina's son Joseph. I found him in the 1930 census in Pittsburgh (he was married to Marie and had a son Roger.) He was still living in Pittsburgh in the 1960's. Maybe if we can find his son Roger, who if living would be 76, we can get more family information. Also, Joseph may have had additional children after the 1930 census.

Death last evening at 8 o'clock claimed Martha Christopherson, the 12 year old daughter of Mr. And Mrs. A. Christopherson, of this place. Death, always sad, is particularly so in this instance. Up until last Saturday the little girl had apparently in the very acme of childish health and spirits. She was taken suddenly ill and from the outset it was recognized that she could not recover. A disease of the kidneys coused her death. A bright, attractive and lovable child, Martha had innumerable friends both among the children of her own age and among the older persons of the town. She was born in Punxsutawney and attended the public schools here and was beloved by her teachers and her schoolmates. She is survived by her parents, one sister and three brothers, Sigrid, Olaf, Benjamin and Joseph, all at home. The arrangements for the funeral have not been made.

1 Han utvandret Utvandret til Wisconsin USA? den 28 Mar 1884. til Wisconsin USA?
Når Hilda Olivia blir født har han tittel ungkar og grubearbeider f. 1856, dvs. han må ha oppholdt seg i Norge juni 1891. Iflg utvandringspapirer er han født ca. 1854-1855, men han var jo ikke tilstede ved fødslen.

Han må ha vært glad i å reise fordi han må ha kommet tilbake i 1891, og siden ca. 1920?

Mrs. Ragna Christofferson, wife of Benjamin Christofferson of West Mahoning street, died at 7:20 this morning after an illness covering a period of two years, at the age of 54 years.
About two years ago the deceased suffered a stroke of paralysis and last winter developed influenza and pneumonia, which in her weakened condition, finally ended in her death.
Mrs. Christofferson was born in Christiania, Norway, and came to this country about 26 years ago and was united in marriage to Benjamin Christofferson. She had lived the greater portion of this time in Punxsutawney with the execption of 14 trips made to her home in Norway. The deceased was noted for her sunny disposition, her charitableness and thoughtfullness of others and leaves many friends in this community who sincerely mourn her death. She is survived by her husband and two sisters; Mrs. A. Christofferson, of Church street, and one sister in Christiania, Norway. The body was taken to the home of Mrs. A. Christofferson on Church street and arrangements for the funeral will be made later.
