What type of information would you like?  Norway Lake is in Kandiyohi County, MN.  The MN historical society lists the death of a Carl Oscar Anderson, but the date they have says 1-Sept. 1953, not 1952.  In the 1900 census (MN, Kandiyohi County), Oscar Anderson is listed as having a wife named Caroline M. Anderson. The MN death index shows the death of a Caroline M. Anderson on 4-Dec 1937 in that county - which is where Norway Lake is located.  I did not find Oscar and Caroline on any census other than the 1900, so maybe someone else can search using Ancestry.  They rented their farm in 1900, and it is possible that they moved away so they could buy their own property.  Their sons names were Arthur (born 1893) and Martin W. (born 1897).

The family that Karen found is in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census living in Pillsbury, Swift County, Minnesota.

Arthur John Anderson, their oldest son, was born 18-April 1893, and died on 26-July 1966 in Swift County, MN.  The MN death record lists his mother's maiden name as Gordhammer.  I did not find the daughter's birth listed in the MN birth index.
   I hope this helps.

Oscar lists his birth as being in Sweden, but the U.S. records do not say much.  I will try to look up an obituary for him the next time I am in MN, since I often go to the MN Historical Society.  Sometimes the obituaries tell where the person was born, and then you can get someone on this site to look things up in Gen-line.

Karen!
I will be happy if you will do it for me.

I went to the MN Historical Society to see if I could find an obituary for Oscar Anderson.  Unfortunately, they included no background information that told where he was born or emigrated from in Sweden.  I will send this obituary to you in an e-mail.
