He was baptized and confirmed in Orkedal church. He came to America together with his parents and brothers and sisters in 1877. They came first to Sioux City, and then almost immediately to Union county and the vicinity where he since lived. The steamboats plying up and down the Missouri river offered all opportunity for the early pioneers of this community to supplement their scant income by taking jobs on these boats. This was also about the first work Mr. Sommervold engaged in after coming to this country. April 12, 1890, he was united in marriage to Miss Marit Esp, his wife, who now survives him. The ceremony was performed by the pioneer pastor, Rev. G.L. Graven. They were thus privileged to celebrate their golden wedding last April 12. They at once devoted themselves to farming. For the last 38 years they lived on the present homestead. This union was blessed with ten children. The family circle was never until now broken by death. Mr. Sommervold's membership in Roseni congregation dated from its earliest years. He was a member for more than half a century. He saw his community develop from its early beginnings to what it is today, and made no little contribution to its progress. Mr. Sommervold was actively engaged in farming until the knit few years. A lingering illness brought his life to a dose on New Years' Day, at about 10:00 a.m. He thus attained the advanced age of 84 years, 9 months and 1 day. He is survived by his wife and the following 10 children: Sivert Jr., Alcester; Alfred, Akron, Ia.; John, Alcester; Hilda, Mrs. Elmer Klemme, Akron, Ia., Johanna, Mrs. Adolph Eggen, Alcester; Sarah, Mrs. Roy Abraham, Akron, Ia.; Ludvig, Grand Park, Ill.; Esther, Denver, Colo.; and Martin, Akron, Ia.; also 25 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He is also survived by one brother, John, of Alcester, and two sisters, Mrs. Johanna Sveeggen, Alcster, and Mrs. Ellen Berg, Aurora, Ill. One sister, Paulina, Mrs. Hans Anderson preceded him in death. Funeral services were conducted at Roseni church Monday, January 6, Rev. M.O. Ensberg officiating. A host f relatives and friends crowded the church. Six of the grandsons served as pallbearers. Vocal duets were sung by two granddaughters, Mrs. Newton Wevik and Mrs. Judin Solbue and by Rev. and Mrs. M.O. Ensberg. Internment was made in Roseni Cemetery.
