Oskar(Asbjørn Torkellson Hammersmark) THOMPSON² was born on 6 October 1848 in Hammersmark, Tonstad Sogn, Norway.⁷⁸ He died on 8 March 1925 in Belford Twp, Aurora Co., SD. He was buried on 10 March 1925 in Trinity Cemetery, Sanborn Co, SD.⁹ (photo of 1890 home) (1909 map of Belford Township) Immigrated to US in 1880. Located at Strand, IA. In spring of 1882 moved to Dakota and homesteaded in Belford Twp. Died from injuries sustained in storm of June 1924. Both Oscar and Elsie were charter members of Storla Lutheran Church. Parents: Torkel Torgesen HAMMERSMARK and Adlaug Asjornsdatter LILAND.

Spouse: Elsie Christine JONASDTR. Elsie Christine JONASDTR and Oskar(Asbjørn Torkellson Hammersmark) THOMPSON were married on 18 June 1879 in Parish of Lund, Norway. Realizing that in order to accomplish anything on their own, Asbjorn Torkelson and his bride, Elsie Sanstol, accompanied by Elsie's sister, Lettie, set sail for the enchanting land of opportunity, America! They had been married on the 18th of June, 1879, in their native land of Norway, but knew that in order to farm they would have to go elsewhere as there was just no more land available to be farmed as land was held in the family and as families grew they knew that they had no choice but to leave Norway.
After landing in the "new world" they found their way westward to the prairies of Illinois where Asbjorn, now using his American name of Oskar Thompson (from Tomson, Tom being the English form of Torkel, his Dad) found work for the first winter but moved on west to Adams County, Iowa, where they settled temporarily to make enough money to help them head further west to the newly opening Dakota Territory where homesteading was rapidly taking place. It was while the Thompsons were living in Iowa that their first of four sons, Thomas, was born- on July 3, 1880, some 102 years ago.
The beckoning of the Dakota prairie drew Oskar, and his new brother-in-law Andrew Thompson, to travel by train to Mitchell, Dakota Territory in the fall of 1881 and then travel by their team and wagon to eventually settle and stake claims in Belford township, Aurora County, Dakota Territory.
After claiming their homestead sites and filing the necessary papers in Mitchell, the two brothers-in-law continued using their overturned wagon as their "quarters" while they were securing materials and then building housing for their families. The two adventurers returned to Iowa and their families for the winter of '81 and were ready to move west to their dreamland of opportunity.
While Andrew and Lettie settled on a neighboring homestead, we'll continue the narrative of Oskar and Elsie from here, although we can not exclude them either, as both families remained very close to each other.
The Spring of '82 brought in numerous homesteading families, these usually settling further west than the earlier pioneers as more and more of the available land was being claimed.
So it was that the Oskar Thompson family got situated in the NW 1/4 of Sec. 14 of Belford Township, Aurora County, where today one of his grandsons is still farming.
The Thompson family grew larger with the birth of Annie (who was the first recorded white girl born in Belford Twp.) on Sept 14, 1882, then Lottie, who died in infancy, then John on July 10, 1887 (which was also the date of the Patent on the Homestead quarter), then Lewis on April 7, 1890 and Peter on June 10, 1892, Lisa on Jan 26, 1895 and Ella on Nov 18, 1897. An adjoining qtr. (SW1/4 - 14) was purchased to which the family moved and on June 3, 1901 the last of the family Alida (Letha) was born.
The Thompson family was now firmly established and was making its mark in the growing community. Never was anyone turned away from the door hungry or tired as the Thompsons were very accustomed to inviting both neighbor and stranger in, whether for a meal after church on Sunday or perhaps even lodging for the winter.
As time went on, another quarter of land in the same section was purchased where a new modern home, complete with electricity and central heating, and soon thereafter indoor plumbing, was built and then in the Fall of 1915 Oskar and Elsie, along with Louis, Letha and Ella moved to the NE 1/4 of 14. Pete and John stayed to farm the home place along with Lisa who kept house for her two brothers until Lisa married Roy Hutton on April 2, 1919 and moved to a nearby farm.
Annie had previously left home when she married Torkel Asbenson in Wisconsin on Nov 28, 1909 and Tom had also left, doing business on his own. Letha married John Berg on June 22, 1922 and moved to their rural Mt. Vernon farm.
The infamous windstorm of '24 took its toll not only of many buildings in the area including the two nearby Lutheran churches, one of which was the Storla church where Oskar and Elsie were charter members, but also injured Oskar to the extent that he never fully recovered and subsequently died March 8, 1925.
Tom married Elfreda Nelson on Sep 19, 1930 and they lived in Mitchell where Tom had a wholesale fruit business.
Louie married Gertie Hanson on March 3, 1931 and they lived in the new house in NE 1/4 of 14 along with Ella and Grandma Thompson, until her death on Apr 20, 1941.
The passing of Grandma Thompson ended a generation of, as they would have said, ordinary people, but we today honor them as great pioneers.

Newspaper articles in file; 5/1/1983, NEIGHBOR JAILED IN CONNECTION WITH SHOOTING OF lEWISTON MAN, A Lewiston man was shot five times with a small caliber pistol Saturday morning, and a neighbor has been arrested and charged by police with the crime.
Nicholas A. Spellmeyer, 26, was taken into custody about an hour after Randy Thompson of 2111 4th Ave. North was shot in the chest, abdomen, leg, and arm, according to police reports.
Spellmeyer was taken to the Nez Perce County jail, where he was held without bail until arraignment in Magistrate Court on Monday.
Thompson was listed in stable but serious condition at St Joseph's Hospital Saturday evening after undergoing surgery.
Police said Spellmeyer fled the scene of the 11:30 am shooting in a car belonging to Thompson's brother. He was arrested in the 1900 block of 13th Street in Rural Clarkston by Asotin County sheriff's deputies, according to Capt.Duane Ailor of the Lewiston Police Department, which is handling the case.
Spellmeyer lives in a duplex apartment behind Thompson's residence. He moved to Lewiston from Spokane in December, Ailor said. Spellmeyer and Thompson apparently were friends, Ailor said, but he did not explain the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
"We have more than one version (of the shooting); we'll try to ascertain what the situation was," Ailor said.
"We have some pretty good ideas but we have to piece it together," he said.
Thompson lives in a basement apartment below the residence where the shooting occured. The couple who live in the upstairs residence were away at the time of the shooting, and no one else was home, Ailor said. The shooting remains under investigation, Ailor said. (shooting was April 3 0, 1983)
May 2, 1983, WOUNDED MAN TAKEN OUT OF INTENSIVE CARE, Randy Thompson, 18, who was shot times Saturday morning, was moved out of intensive care at St. Joseph's Hospital Sunday and was listed in stable condition and improving. He was shot in the chest, abdomen, leg, and arm, according to police.
The shooting occured at 11:30 am at 2111 4th Ave. N. Thompson lived in a basement apartment at that residence. A neighbor, Nicholas A. Spellmeyer, 26, who lived in a duplex behind Thompson, was arrested Saturday and charged with the shooting.
Spellmeyer was arrested by Asotin County sheriffs deputies after he had fled the scene to rural Clarkston, according to police.
Spellmeyer is scheduled to be arraigned in Magistrate Court today.
Police have released no information on the circumstances surrounding the shooting,
$100,000 BOND SET FOR SUSPECT IN SHOOTING, Nez Perce County Magistrate Donald
Worden set bond at $100,000 Monday for Nicholas A. Spellmeyer, 26, who is accused of shooting a neighbor five times Saturday in North Lewiston.
Spellmeyer was charged in court with aggravated assault and with using a firearm in committing a crime. He was placed in county jail to await a preliminary conference at 8:00 am Wednesday
Court will determine then whether to pursue the case and offer Spellmeyer the option of a preliminary hearing.
Meanwhile, Randy W. Thompson, 18, victim of the shooting, was reported to be improving Monday but still in serious condition at St. Joseph's Hospital. Police said Thompson was shot in the chest, abdomen, leg, and arm with a .22 caliber revolver.
Spellmeyer and Thompson live in separate buildings at 2111 4th Ave. N. and that's where the shooting occured, according to the police report.
Police said the cause of the trouble remained under investigation, but it apparently was the climax of a personal dispute.
PRELIMINARY HEARING SET IN SHOOTING CASE, A preliminary hearing was set for
Wednesday for Nicholas A. Spellmeyer, 26, of 2111 4th Ave. N. Apt. 2, Lewiston, on a charge of aggravated battery and a second count of using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Spellmeyer is accused of shooting Randy Thompson, 18, of the same address, five times on Saturday. Thompson was shot in the chest, leg, abdomen, and arm with a .22 caliber pistol, according to police reports.
Spellmeyer is being held in the Nez Perce County jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. He is represented by Owen Knowlton of Knowlton and Miles.
Thompson is listed in satisfactory condition at St. Joseph's Hospital and was said to be steadily improving, according to nursing supervisor.
May 12, 1983, SHOOTING VICTIM, SUSPECT WEAVE DIVERSE TALES, by John McCarthy of the Lewiston Tribune, Nicholas A. Spellmeyer was bound over to District
Court Wednesday on charges of aggravated assault and using a firearm to commit a crime, both felonies. He is accused of shooting Randy Thompson five times with a .22 pistol on April 30.
Spellmeyer, 26, and Thompson, 18, have different versions of the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Spellmeyer told police that he was protecting himself after Thompson fired a shot at him. Thompson said Wednesday that Spellmeyer shot him for no apparent reason.
Thompson testified Wednesday as a prosecution witness in a closed preliminary hearing before Magistrate Darrel Perry. The hearing was closed at the request of Spellmeyers attorney, Owen Knowlton.
After answering questions for almost 30 minutes from Knowlton and Nez Perce County prosecutor Steve Tobiason, Thompson told the Lewiston Tribune outside the courtroom that he had no idea why Spellmeyer shot him.
Thompson said he and Spellmeyer had been playing cribbage together earlier in the morning of the shooting. The two had been friends for more than a month he said.
"He didn't seem like a person who'd go off the handle," Thompson said. "I don't understand it. He's always mellow, wasn't high strung."
Thompson said he took a shower after playing cards and when he came out of the bathroom "he was standing with a gun pointed at me."
Thompson was found at about 11:30 am by Lewiston emergency medical technicians in the street outside an apartment at 2111 4th St.where the shooting occurred. He had 5 .22 caliber bullet wounds according to the medical report.
The shooting took place in an upstairs apartment according to police reports. Thompson lived in a basement apartment at that address, and Spellmeyer lived in an apartment behind the house at the same address.
Thompson was released from St. Joseph's Hospital on Saturday after a week long treatment, including surgery to remove a bullet from his abdomen. One of the bullets remains lodged in his upper chest, he said the other bullets passed through his leg and arm.
Spellmeyers version of the incident differs markedly from Thompsons.
After his arrest in rural Clarkston shortly after the shooting was reported, Spellmeyer told Lewiston police detectives that he had been shot at one time by Thompson after leaving the upstairs bathroom at 2111 4th St. A struggle followed where he grabbed the gun and fired one or more times without seeing if Thompson was hit, according to the transcript in the court file of Spellmeyers taped statement to police.
Spellmeyer told police that he was protecting himself by seizing the gun and firing at Thompson.
Spellmeyer said that he and Thompson had been smoking marijauna and crystal meth, an amphetamine, since he joined Thompson at about 8:00 am to play cards.
Thompson said neither he nor Spellmeyer had been using any drugs during the shooting. He said he didn't know if Spellmeyer was a drug user.
Thompson was the only witness called to testify at the preliminary hearing. Spellmeyer will be arraigned in District court on May 25, one week later than usual because Judge John H. Maynard will be out of town next Wednesday.
Spellmeyer's bond was reduced to $20,000, from $100,000.
MAN ADMITS GUN ASSAULT, Nicholas A. Spellmeyer pleaded guilty Wednesday in Second District Court at Lewiston to aggravated batteryby admitting that he shot Randy Thompson five times with a .22 caliber pistol on April 30.
A second charge of using a firearm to commit a crime was dismissed.
Thompson, 18, of 2111 4th st., Lewiston, was hit in the abdomen, chest, leg, and arm by bullets fired in an apparent disagreement with Spellmeyer at an apartment upstairs from Thompson's.
Spellmeyer, 27, is suspected of being an escapee from the Oregon State Penitentiary at Salem under the name Ervin Nichols, according to Steve J. Tobiason, Nez Perce County prosecutor.
Nichols is being sought by Oregon authorities for escaping from the prison in August 1982. Nichols was in prison under charges of probation violation.
A warrent for the arrest of Nichols from Multnomah County at Portland arrived at Nez Perce County Sheriffs Department Wednesday, according to Sargeant Bruce Birdsell. Another warrent from Oregon State Correctional officials is expected to arrive any day, and the county has been notified that Nichols and Spellmeyer may be the same person, Birdsell said. Thompson was in St. Josephs Hospital for a week as a result of the shooting. Spellmeyer will be sentenced on July 27. Thursday, June 23.

Newspaper article in file; 5/13/1974, Fairbanks Tower Clears Two Pilots to Collision. Two airplanes operating on different radio frequencies collided on the south taxiway area at Fairbanks International Airport last night, but all occupants escaped injury.
The Federal Aviation Administration said a Piper PA20 piloted by Robert Ylvisaker had been cleared for takeoff by the control tower. A Fairbanks Air Service C46 behind the Piper had been cleared to taxi by ground control operators on another radio frequency
The pilot of the C46 apparently was unable to see the smaller Piper. The FFA said the C46'S props chewed up one wing of the Piper, ripped through the fuel tank and into the fuselage.
Ylvisaker saw the C46 bearing down on him and attempted to avoid it, the FFA said, a move which they said may have saved his life.
National Transportation Safety Board officials from Anchorage were to come to Fairbanks today to investigate the accident. (Terry was on the C46 with a load of dynamite headed for Deadhorse.)
