See my article, "Even Olsen born 1798 or 1799, research notes", Jul 2016

  Noted events in his life were:

1. birth - 1831, 12 Apr 1831, Tolga, Hedmark, Norway. ⁶¹⁴⁶ Tolga Klokkerbok record. Ole Evensen Sønmør, born out of wedlock; mother, Ragnhild Iversdtr from Tyladalen; father, Even Olsen Synmør; Link, https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/9221/31; link for Minestrialbok, https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/9226/71 - this record records residence as Søndre Holøyen.

2. Confirmationm - 1847, 11 Apr 1847, Tolga, Hedmark, Norway. ⁶¹⁴⁹ Tolga Minestrialbok, Confirmation: Ole Evensen from Søndmør (birth 12 Apr 1831). Link, https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/9227/100

3. Residence 1900, 3 Dec 1900, Tolga, Hedmark, Norway. ⁶¹⁵⁰ Residence: Næsmoen (Evensstuen). Unmarried, born in 1831 in Tolga, living on the farm Næsmoen (Evensstuen) with occupation as "agricultural worker" ( Jordbrugsarbeide). Evensstuen likely refers to Ole's cabin '96 stuen means "cabin".

4. Death - 1906, 30 Aug 1906, Tolga, Hedmark, Norway. ^6147,6151 The Norway Parish Registers: "Ungkarl [single] ... [?] Ole Evensen", born 1831 at Søndmør with Næsmoen as his place of residence at death [basic transcription]. There is a comment on the last column, but I can't make it out. The year recorded on this source page 161 is "1905,1906" with the 5 male deaths in 1906 and 1 female death in 1905 and then 5 female deaths in 1906.

Eystein Eggen in his 1968 book, "Tolga Gards og Slektshistorie" notes on page 556, "He [Ole Evensen] was single and he died in 1905 as a pauper.". Although there are numerous errors in Eggen's book, the year matches with the Norway parish registers; also the resdence of death matches with the 1900 Norway Census.
