1878 - Oliane sailed for America on August 30, 1878. Bernt paid for her passage and obtained a job for her at the plantation of Col. J. R. Henry, just south of Mexia, Texas. Only a couple of month after her arrival her father, Knud died October 6, 1878. While in Texas, Marianne met Evan Rohne and married 15 Dec. 1880 Limestone Co., TX.
Olea Olsdatter Egeberg, having seen her children go to America and her husband dead, she had no reason to stay in Norway. She also sails to America September 2, 1881 with the destination listed as Waco, Texas. Once in Texas she lived both with her son but mostly with her daughter, Marianne and Evan Rohne, her new son-in-law. She lived with them for over thirty years. As in most extended families she undoubtedly was very useful with helping to care for the large number of children in the Rohne family. She would certainly have helped to cook the meals for the farm hands during harvest and help with the laundry activities on a regular basis.
1911, August 14 - Olea Olsdatter is buried at the Rock Church, Cranfills Gap, Bosque Co., TX in the plot with Evan and Marianne Rohne. The statement on the stone reads, " ... stop deliverance. ...... " [cemetary marker]
