Read More	Born Ingeborg (Emma) Paulsdatter Vangen. Emma was born June 5, 1862 in Ullensaker, Akershus, Norway, the daughter of Paul Johannesen Paulson Vangen and Dorthea Amundsdatter Hagga. Emma was the third of 6 children. Her father, Paul was born in about 1825. Paul took over the home farm from his father, Johannes Paulsen, in 1860 in partnership with his brother Ole, but this lasted only a few years. In 1871, Paul Johannesen and his oldest son John Paulson left Norway for America. They made the journey in a small sailboat named the Nolisse (probably Nordlyset). After 14 weeks on the water, they landed at Quebec. The crew that made the journey over did not want to go back, so a new crew started back for Norway. On this return trip, the Nolisse sank before it reached its destination. From Quebec, they went by train to Milwaukee, WI and then to St Paul, MN. Paul found employment in a sawmill and later on the railroad. John experienced more difficulty in locating a position. His wife Dorthea followed from Norway a year later in 1872 with the remaining five children. She contracted black smallpox on the boat and died shortly after arriving in Minnesota. She is buried in an unknown site in Minneapolis. The rest of the family then went to Goodhue County, Minnesota. Upon Dorthea's death, Paul was unable to care for the younger children and other families raised them. Ingeborg, Hans and Petrine were raised by the Ivan (or Even) Brekken in Goodhue County, MN. She is listed as "Emily Brakken" with the Even and Bertha Brekken family in the 1875 MN census. At the age of 17, Ingeborg ran away to Minneapolis and worked for a Dr. White. Andrew and Ingeborg were married on April 19, 1884 in Faribault by the Protestant Episcopal Priest, Erik S. Peterson. Her brother, John Paulson Vangen and his wife, Berthe (Overby) Vangen were witnesses. Very soon after her marriage to Andrew H. Overby, they moved to Dakota Territory and settled in Section 12 of Byran Township, Griggs County. Here they built a sod house and began farming. Emma and Andrew were parents to 11 children.
