He was born on a farm named Braaten, which was a part of a larger farm, sort of like a tenant. He was Baptized June 6, 1830 Nes Church, Nes Hallingdal Confirmed 1846 Nes Church, Nes Hallingdal When he went to school they were called after the farm they lived on. His last name could change with the changing of his home. He is buried next to his son Earnest (Arne) Anderson. He lived in Waseca on Section 35- that had 160 acres. He bought another 80 later on. He was a farmer and operated a threshing machine.

Ole Anderson has Ole Arneson Braaten written on his tombstone, in New Richland.

This means he is the son of Arne, his name is Ole and he was born on the farm named Braaten, which was part of a larger farm, sort of like a tenant farm. And if there were schools at that time, then this would be the way, a kid would be identified amongst 4 other classmates named Ole, they would tag on the name of the current farm they lived on, especially if they were renters, that may be subject to change, due to their relocation.

Ole is buried next to his son Earnest [Arne] Anderson. Their graves are west of the present church building, in one of the first 5 rows.
