The following biography lists St. Olaf's Cemetery in Walum as Clara & Martin's burial place. I am not sure of the dates for Clara, but believe she was born either 1865-67 according to Emigrant records & obituaries which do not agree. If you have any further information (i.e. - Clara's maiden name, death year, etc.,) please contact me.
Martin and Clara Wallum were born in Norway. They emigrated to America when each was still young - Mr. Wallum at seven years of age and Mrs. Wallum when she was seventeen years old.
Martin Wallum homesteaded land located 1/2 mile from the town of Walum. It was to this homestead that Mr. Wallum brought his new bride after their marriage in Cooperstown in 1887.
Mr. Wallum became prominent in community affairs, attending many meetings held in the surrounding towns. He frequently drove from their home all the way to Fargo for provisions. This trip took from ten to twelve days depending on the weather and the roads.
The present town of Walum was named after Mr. Wallum. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wallum are buried in St. Olaf's Cemetery in Walum.
The Wallums had ten children, six of whom are deceased:
1. Mable Anson, California
2. Justin Wallum, Walum
3. Marvin Wallum, Minnesota
4. Dena Espeseth, Wisconsin
5. Chester Wallum, Hannaford
6. John Wallum of Bismarck
The surviving members of the family and their residences are:
1. Olga Evenson, Walum
2. Theresa Trangsrud, Wimbledon
3. Berneice Vogt, Wilmont, Minnesota
4. Edna Becker, Wilmont, Minnesota
