Ole Ellefsen Sletten (1831-1893)
Eldest immigrant in the Sletten clan, and his wife Ingeborg Eriksdatter (who apparently died in Norway before Ole came to America) are traced back in these charts. One of their sons and four grandchildren eventually married into the Ole Larson family. These marriages were as follows:
In 1898, Josephine Johnson (daughter of Ole Larson's sister Marit) married Johannes Sletten, younger brother of Gunder and Engebret, et. al. (children of Ole E. Sletten). In 1912, Paula Larson (Ole Larson's daughter) married Clarence Sletten, son of Gunder. In 1919, Hilda Raiten (daughter of Ole Larson's daughter Alma Larson Raiten) married Alf Sletten, another son of Gunder. In 1924, Olaf Larson married Helga Sletten, daughter of Gunder. In 1925, Herman Larson married Esther Sletten, another daughter of Gunder. By now, Larson-Sletten cousins number well over 100.
