Biography

Narve Colbjornson, one of the pioneers of Mitchell county, located here in 1854. He owns a fine farm just outside the limits of St. Ansgar. He is the son of Colbjorn and Guri Colbjornson, and was born in the parish of Gol, Norway, November, 1823, emigrating to America in 1848, first settling in Rock Co., Wis., where he lived six years, then removed to Iowa. He was married in Norway, in 1848, to Anna A. Golberg, who died February, 1867. By this union there were seven children. He was again married to Mrs. Jane Wong, Nov. 6, 1869. Two sons have been born to them. They are members of the Norwegian Lutheran Church.

- excerpt from "History of Mitchell and Worth Counties, Iowa," 1884^[1]

In Norwegian naming conventions, the surname is the name of the farm.^[2]
I have listed Narve's Patronymic name as his middle name.

Narve has been listed by various last names in documents and records, including:
Colbjörsen - Norwegian Patronymic
Colbertson - Americanization of above
Golberg - the name of the farm where he was born or lived

Both Colbertson and Colbjörsen are inscribed on Narve's tombstone.
