I give it a try. I have added the old Norwegian words in parentheses after the translations. All of the translation might not be totally correct, because I don't know the English words.

and in the original from Digitalarkivet.no, #35 in the link below

Onsøy prestekontor Kirkebøker, SAO/A-10914/F/Fa/L0003: Parish register (official) no. I 3, 1841-1860, p. 338

It says here that he was a shoemaker and a mormon.

Hi.

This is what it says as far as I can tell:

Niels Olsen Kjevelsrud, 5 Marts 1823, Kjölbergbro Onsö, 1. Mai 1853, Kjölbergelven 1/2 mil fra Fredrikstad, 1. Mai 1853, Chr. Larsen, ord. til Lærer 9/12-53. Död 1854.

Translated:

Niels Olsen Kjevelsrud, born March 5th 1823, at Kjölbergbro Onsö parish. Baptized May 1st 1853, in Kjölbergelven (river) about 3 US miles from Fredrikstad, by Sv.P. Larsen. Confirmed on May 1st 1853 by Chr. Larsen. ordained to teacher December 9th 1853. Died 1854.

In his death record his name is written: Niels Olsen Kjævelsröd.

In todays Norwegian ö=ø Kjølbergbro, Onsø, Kjølbergelven, Kjævelsrød

Best regards,

Thank you both so much! We thought perhaps he died, because we did not see him on later census records. This clears it up. Thanks again!
