Sondre Norheim
Sondre Norheim as a young man, but he has already got several distinctions for his skiing.
Norheim died in 1897. Although his place of burial is recorded in the Norway Lutheran Cemetery records, his grave went unmarked for many years. A granite boulder and a plaque were dedicated and placed on his grave in a memorial ceremony June 12, 1966. Norway Lutheran Cemetery is only five miles west of where he homesteaded in North Dakota.
