• Excerpt from p. 427 of "Who's Who Among Pastors in all the Norweigian
  Synods of America 1843-1927", translated and revised by Rasmus
  Malmin, O.M. Norlie and O.A. Tingelstad, 1928: "Ordained, 1924. Norwegian
  Lutheran Church in America(N.L.C.).  Born March 19, 1897 at Moorhead,
  Minnesota, of Rev. A. Ofstedal and Mathilde Elizabeth Markuson.  Attended
  high school, Chicago, 1912-16(gard.); Luther College 1916-17,
  1918-21(A.B); Luther Theological Seminary, 1921-24(C.T.), U.S. Navy,
  1917-18.  Pastor, Edmore, North Dakota, 1924-  .   Married Edith Estrem,
  1924.
  Mom(Dorothy Laird) told me about a time shortly after Grandpa and
  Grandma Ofstedahl moved to California, when Rudolph showed up in
  Cotati or Santa Rosa to visit them.  They hardly had anything unpacked.
  The above book shows a notation about Rudolph's death in 1958.  Albert
  Markuson has his death occuring in June 1959, but I have taken the book
  notation above as the correct date.  The Markuson genealogy indicates
  that his widow Edith was living in Seattle in 1964.
