Editing Sondre Norheim (section)

==Emigration==
On 30 May 1884 Sondre and Rannei left Norway together with three of their  children–  Anne (21), Åmund (14) and Talleiv (12). Their son Olav and daughter Hæge had left home previously, and their eldest daughter Ingerid decided to stay back home. Norheim followed in the footsteps of many of his neighbors in Morgedal and emigrated from Norway to the [[United States]]. After having first settled in Minnesota, they moved to [[North Dakota]], near [[Villard, North Dakota|Villard]] in [[McHenry County, North Dakota|McHenry County]]. He continued to ski when he could, though the climate and flat topography of the Dakota prairie offered few opportunities for downhill skiing. It was said he always had a pair of skis placed outside his door. Norheim grew more religious with age and helped build a [[Lutheran]] church in Villard. He died in 1897 and was buried in [[Denbigh, North Dakota|Denbigh]], [[McHenry County, North Dakota]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/pubs/nas/volume29/vol29_12.htm |title=''Sondre Norheim: Folk Hero to Immigrant'' by John Weinstock (Norwegian-American Historical Association.
