Life EventDateDescription
Birth27 October 1901Ole Christopherson Ronnei was born on 27 October 1901 at Lysten, Norway.
He was the son of Christopher Nels Ronnei and Christina Olsdotter Valde.
Marriage20 January 1939Ole Christopherson Ronnei married Marie Abrahamson, daughter of Peder Abrahamson and Julia Christine Christensen, on 20 January 1939 at Seattle, Washington.
Death5 March 1998Ole Christopherson Ronnei died on 5 March 1998 at Kirkland, Washington, at age 96 "Ole was here when Novelty came and went, when the railroads were built and later left, when the riverboats were used to haul milk, cream and other goods until railroads and highways came along," wrote local historian Bob Kosters in an article that appeared in the Nov. 25 issue of the Wagon Wheel,published by the Duvall Historical Society.

"Through all those years of change the Ronneis stayed on the farm, seeing farming methods change, their friends and neighbors pass from the scene," wrote Kosters. "Now Ole and sister Nellie are the only surviving members of the original Ronnei family that came from Norway so many years ago."

Ole Ronnei died March 5 in Kirkland at the age of 96. Ole was born in Norway in 1901, but the family moved to the Novelty area south of Duvall when he was just a year old. Ole and Marie Abrahamsen were married in 1939 and have always lived on the farm he purchased from his father.

"In his younger days, Ole worked for a time as a logger and at other jobs, but never strayed far from the Novelty farm," the Wagon Wheel article stated. "We (historical society members) believe Ole has lived in the valley longer than any other person living today." Ole also worked on a crew in 1918 building the new Novelty Bridge.

Ole is survived by his wife, Marie, daughters Bonnie Amos and her husband Norman of Redmond; Lois Haddock and her husband Ed of Kirkland; sons Jerry Ronnei and wife Marilyn of Chewelah and Duane Ronnei of Carnation; sister Nellie Hermanson of North Bend, seven grandchildren, three step grandchildren, nine great grandchildren and seven step great grandchildren.

Life EventDateDescription
Birth14 February 1885Mary Rosella LaBounty was born on 14 February 1885 at Iowa, Wisconsin, also reported as Feb 1887.
She was the daughter of Alexander LaBounty and Mary Ellen Jessup.
Marriage22 May 1905Mary Rosella LaBounty married Francis Patrick Flynn, son of James Flynn and Sarah McMahon, on 22 May 1905 at first marriage for him, Iowa, Wisconsin.
Divorcebefore 1909Mary Rosella LaBounty and Francis Patrick Flynn were divorced before 1909.
Marriagecirca 1909Mary Rosella LaBounty married Oscar Martin Mercer, son of Joseph Benjamin Mercer and Emily Delores Gallop, circa 1909 1910 census lists that Oscar and Mary had been married for 5 years, and this was the first marriage for both. If Rolland Martin Mercer is Oscar Martin Mercer's son, then he was married previously. I also believe Mary was married previously. The census taker may not have asked about first marriage, and may have assumed it was the first for both. Since Mary's first child was born in 1910, I believe that they were married circa 1909.
