Halvard Storm

Halvard Storm was born in Kristiania (Oslo) to Johan Storm, a professor, and Louise Braun and was christened on September 2, 1877. He immigrated to the United States in 1901 and lived in the vibrant Norwegian-American enclave of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York.

He married Marthea Louise Trilseth (born 1878, Eidsvoll, Norway) on February 10, 1906 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Brooklyn. Storm registered for the US World War I draft in September 1918 as all eligible men were required to register regardless of citizenship. In the 1920s, he returned to Norway to live, but he visited the United States many times during subsequent decades.

Storm died on May 7, 1964 and is buried alongside his wife in Oslo’s Vestre Gravlund.
