They settled in St. Ansgar, Mitchell County, Iowa, and engaged in farming there. In that same year (1868) Ole was married to Bertea (Holmen) Christianson in Worth County, Iowa. She had been previously married to Gunnerius Knudson Hundeby, who died shortly after the Civil War, and brought with her their daughter Anne Christine.
