Olea Oldsteter Lee and Erik Mikkelson emigrated from Norway with Ingeborg, Ole, and Martin. In Sor-Audal, Valdres, Norway they lived on the Li or Lee farm. Olea's parents, Ole and Ingeborg, came from the town/farm of Ostradalen.
The first part of their journey took them from Christiania (now Oslo) to Liverpool.The second portion of the their journey was aboard the Britannia from Liverpool to the United States, arriving on January 11, 1886. They appear to have used the surname Lee in Barron County, the name of their farm they lived on in Norway.
Children Martinus, Olaus, Elise, Ida, and Nellie were born to the couple in Wisconsin.
Olea lived in Rice Lake for seven years (on W. Knapp Street) before she died of acute parenchymatous (dysfunction of a gland or organ - organ not specified on death certificate, but it appears the term often refers to renal dysfunction). She was attended by Dr. D. L. Lawson of Rice Lake for her disease from August 20, 1926 until her death. Her son, Martin Lee, was the official informant/witness of her death (at the time he was living at Route 2, Barron, WI).
Olea was buried in Dallas, Wisconsin on October 9, 1926.
