MRS. OLE ULNESS: (VALDERS)
"Mrs. Ole Ulness was born April 17th, 1851, in Valders, Norway. At the age of 26 she was united in marriage to Ole Ulness. In 1880 they followed the stream of immigrants and came to Instenes Valley in the town of Chimney Rock. Shortly after they moved to Norden and thence to Eleva. For the last 44 years they have lived on their farm in Chimney Rock.
About 4 years ago Mrs. Ulness underwent an operation for ulcers, and remained at Luther Hospital in Eau Claire for four months. She seemed to improve and was able to be up and around until the last week before her death. She passed away Sunday morning, November 27th, leaving to mourn her death her aged husband, four sons, Hans, Auburn, N.D.; Julius, Humbird, Wis.; Ole and Oscar at home; three daughters, Mrs. Instenses, Chippewa Falls, Mrs. Onfra and Mrs. Webster, Chicago, Ill; 37 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
The funeral took place Novemer 30th from the Chimney Rock church, where a large audience had gathered for the last farewell." THE WHITEHALL TIMES - December 15, 1932

Her dimensions were: 229.3 feet long, 30.6 feet beam and holds 20.8 feet deep. Propulsion: compound engine with 4 inverted cylinders of 27 and 47 inches diameter each pair, stroke 30 inches. This engine delivered 180 horsepower. In 1873 the engine was compounded, and new boilers were fitted in 1874. The engine was built by C. D. Holmes in Hull.
From 1876 she was on a regular route between Hull and Christiania and Christiansand. In July of 1871 the Hero's return cargo from England consisted of the first steam locomotive for the new Lillehammer railway to Norway. The wagons had arrived one moth earlier. The wagons had arrived one moths earlier. On October 15th, 1875, the S/S Hero could not make the call at Christiansand because of rough seas and a severe storm. Some of the passengers had embarked at Christiania for Christiansand, but had to follow the ship all the way to Hull.
The Hero served on the Christiania - Christiansand - Hull route till 1881, when she was placed on the Trondheim - Hull route. The route between Trondheim and Hull was maintained by Hero and Tasso as main ships till 1884. In 1884 Hero took the majority of all the passenger from Trondheim, and maintained the route with sporadic help from other steamers of the line. The S/S Hero carried out this service until 1888. From 1889 she maintained the route along with S/S Cameo. The Hero appeared in Trondheim for the last time in 1892. On June 22nd, 1895 she was badly damaged in a collision with the Lamport & Holt ship "Bessel" in the English Channel. She was sold to Earle's who subsequently sold her for scrap.
