Inger and Ola
Person Sinnes lived at Sinnes - Farm no. 8.
This farm can be traced back
to 1853. It was valued to 6¾ "mark" butter,
and it was divided from farm no. 1, "Bakken",
when Jon Torjeison Sinnes decided to sell one half of the
farm to Tore Jørgenson Lyse. The farm was surveyed on
09.09.1853, but the deed of conveyance was not drawn till
05.04.1855. The purchase price was 200
"spesiedalar". By the sale´s contract of
05.03.1863 he sold Sinnes to Jakob Svenskeson Sinnes from
“Stølsro” and Per Olson Sinnes from
"Kvednhusbakken". The survey took place on
14.06.1876. Then they agreed that Jakob Svenskeson should
get 3½ "mark" which he added to his farm. Per
Olson got 3¼ "mark" and the houses belonging
to the farm. This farm got, after the survey in 1853, the
serial no. 3b, and in 1876 the serial no. 3b2. According
to the land registry in 1889 the farm was no. 8 and a
survey value of 40 "øre". After the new survey
on 31.10.1936 the farm was divided in two parts. Then Ola
Person separated a greater part off for farming of new
land for his son, Torgeir. This farm was called
"Nygård" and got a survey value of 20
"øre". This farm is placed further east of
Sinnes. The son called Eilef took over the farm by the
conveyance of 08.07.1942.
Olav Eilefson Sinnes took over the farm in 1974.The first owner of the
farm no. 8 was:
Tore Jørgensen Lyse, b. 13.01.1822

(Solheim). Married to Joren Atlaksdotter Handeland,
b. 07.03.1827, d. 1914.
Tore lived here from about 1852 till 1862. Then he moved
back to Rauåstøl where he had lived before. Tore sold
the farm at Sinnes to Jakob Svenskeson Sinnes and Per
Olson Sinnes in 1863. The latter settled there after some
years, and in the meantime it was rented by Tolleiv
Atlakson Haugen.

cotter at "Kvednhusbakken". Eilev, the only son
of Ole, drowned in the Saubrohøl, close to
Kvednhusbakken.
Ole himself also died in a sad way. According to the
church register of 15.12.1883 the cotter Ole Olson froze
to death in the mountains. The occurrence is still
remembered. He and many colleagues had been together on a
business trip. They came from Lyse and were on their way
to Sinnes. All of them were heavily loaded. At the
eastern part of Heimre Dygrådalen Ole was not able to
walk any further. His friends tried to help him, but in
the end they had to give in and leave him. They were 10
kilometers from Sinnes. His friends went to the village
for help, but when assistance came, Ole was almost dead,
