.. this is likely 'them', Bert [Borre] M Halseth and Mons
but ancestry has them indexed as surname "Olhsesh", Bert M b Jun 1870, Nor; em 1896
and "Olhsesh", Benjamine [Mons] born Feb 1879 in Nor; em 1897 ....
- both are recorded as a Blacksmith ... this fits since Borre/Bert and Mons are blacksmiths.
