Birth: I believe that Sara Vagen is not the mother of Alice Olson Storlie. In the 1900 and 1910 census Halvor and Sara consistently give answers that place the date of their marriage at about 1873, 5 years after the birth of Alice. In both the 1900 and 1910 census Sara is listed as having borne 7 children, 6 of whom were living. Those numbers would not include Alice. On Alice's death certificate the spot for "maiden name of mother" is filled in with "not known," the informant is Hans Wahl, Alices' husband. On the death certificate of Anna Olson Storlie the name (although not maiden) name of Anna's mother is listed as Sara. Buried: Find A Grave e-Memorial
