Here is a picture capturing a moment in time.<\/p>\n

This is from oat harvest at the Fossheim farm in J\u00f8lster, Sogn og Fjordane 1890 or 91. You can hover the mouse over the picture to get a closer look.<\/p>\n

The persons in the picture are identified as Johanne Fossheim, Nicolaia Bolset and Nils Fossheim Year: 1890-91 Public domain (CC pdm)\u00a0Photo: Lindahl, Axel \/ Norsk Folkemuseum<\/p>\n

I have made an attempt to further identify the persons.<\/p>\n

The couple in the back is probably Nils Mosesen born at the Bolset farm October 9th 1855 (1) and his wife Johanne Markvardsdatter Born June 29th 1859 (2) at the Fossheim farm. They got married June 6th 1876 (3). Nils and Johanne had no children.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the young woman in front, Nicolaia, there are a few candidates. I am however, tempted to think that this is Nils’ younger sister Nicolaia Mosesdatter born July 23rd 1865 (4), who has come over from the Bolset farm to help her brother and sister in-law with the harvest. Nicolaia went on to marry Elling Samuelsen Fond March 23rd 1893 (5). In the cesnus for 1900 we find them at the Bratsberg farm in the municipality of Strinda, S\u00f8r Tr\u00f8ndelag county. They have now four children (6).<\/p>\n

I like these pictures because they are rare snap-shots of people looking up from their work. It is interesting to note their clothing. The type of caps the women wear are still used with the national costumes from J\u00f8lster. Nils wear wooden clogs, while we can see that Nicolaia is bare-footed.<\/p>\n

We see the oat being reaped with sickles. Even though horse-drawn mowers were introduced at this time, it was not in common use until well into the 1900’s. In the picture below Nils are tieing the oat into sheafs using straws.<\/p>\n

Here is another shot from the same situation (same credits). You can hover the mouse over the picture to enlarge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fossheim is the modern spelling of this farm name. Throughout history different spellings have been used; Fosseim 1563, Fo\u00dfim 1603,\u00a0Fossim 1608, Foessim 1667, Fossem 1723 (6).<\/p>\n
