Ane was born in Vigrestad, Norway. Her family lived on a rented farm at Aniksdal and emigrated to America in 1886. After living with her brother Mikal in Illinois for awhile, she moved to northern Minnesota and worked near Hawley.
Mar 28, 1888 Ane married Carl Norheim. They moved to his homestead northwest of Kensal where she had 8 children, 4 died during infancy and childhood. John, Emma, Anna and Halvor lived to adulthood.
Post cards were a primary form of communication in the early 1900's, before telephones had been installed in rural areas. They were sold for a nickel and were mailed for a penny, many with a simple message like "pick me up at the train station" or "come have dinner with us tomorrow". Ane collected more than 200, many bearing messages written in Norwegian, some featured photographs taken by a family member. Her grandson, Gus Stangeland, inherited her card collection.
Ane missed her family in Norway and always wanted to return to visit them, but Carl wouldn't let her, even after the children were grown, though he made several trips himself.
Ane belonged to the Lutheran church and according to her obituary was loved and respected by a large circle of friends and lived a life of christian service. Ane died at her home of asthma and heart failure, secondary to breast cancer.
