Here is some information on your family. You will note the records don’t always match exactly but give you a pretty good overview.

1900 US Census, Fairfield Twp, Fayette County, IA

Graham

Winthrop, B. March 1846 Wisconsin, parents b. NY, OH, married 31 years,day laborer
Phila A., B. July 1851 NY, wife, parents b. NY, mother of 6 children, 4 of whom were alive in 1900
Charles, B. Sept 1872 IA, son, day laborer
Sisel, B. Aug 1878 IA, daughter-in-law, parents b. Norway, mother of 2 children, both alive in 1900
Minnie, B. April 1898 IA, granddaughter
Nettie, B. Sept 1899 IA, granddaughter
Linda, B. Sept 1888 IA, daughter


1925 State of Iowa Census, Oelwein, Fayette County, IA

Graham

Charles, age 54, head, father Wint Graham, b. IA, mother Filie _____, b. IA
Sissel, age 47, wife, father Seyward Thone, b. Norway, mother Julia____, b. Norway
Teddy, age 16, son
Bertha, age 13, daughter
Lucile, age 10, daughter
Lottie, age 4, 24 (I think, hard to read), daughter

(all the above in 1925 census were born in IA) The family also listed their religion as Methodist

1930 US Census, Oelwein City, Jefferson Twp, Fayette County, IA

Graham

Charley, age 56, b. IA, teamster, odd jobs
Sisel, age 52, b. Norway, immigrated 1879
Teddie, age 20, B. Minnesota
Bertha, age 17, b. IA
Lucilla, age 14, b. IA

I believe I also found Sisel’s family

1880 US Census (Hartland Twp., Worth County, IA)

Thon

Sevat E., age 42, b. Norway, farm labor
Guri, age 42, wife, b. Norway
Ole, age 11, son, b. Norway
Ole, age 9, son, b. Norway
Sisel, age 3, daughter, b. Norway

1895 State of Iowa Census, Deer Creek, Worth County, IA

Thoen

Sevat E, age 54, b. Norway
Mrs. Julia, age 56, b. Norway
Ole S., age 25, b. Norway
Sisal, age 17, b. Norway
Sever, age 7, b. Worth County, IA


1900 US Census, Deer Creek Twp., Worth County, IA

Thoen

Sevat E., b. April 1838, Norway, farmer
Julia, b. July 1838, wife
Ole, b. Oct 1868, son, farm laborer
Sever, b. July 1887, grandson

All except the grandson were born in Norway and immigrated 1877 according to this record. The grandson was born in IA.

I found Sever, Gun, Ole and Sever Thoen in the same twp in Worth County in 1910. That record, however, gave an immigration year of 1886.

Good luck in your search.

Paul
