John Rolfnes

In researching the lost brothers of my grandfather, I've found a John Rolfnes, who was sold a quarter section by homestead patent sale in 1908 for $500 in Section 12 of Rice Lake Township. As best as I can tell he must have lived on the land for the required 5 years, got title, and then sold out in 1909.

A photo of John Rolfnes, taken when he left Norway is attached for your information. Also in the same Land Office Sales database is an enter for a Rolfsnas, Asten A, also within Rice Lake Township, sections 12 and 13. I'm not sure but this maybe the other brother and his name has been changed somehow.

Regards, Bob Rolfness
