Born 8 Mar 1799. Died 1891 in Nordre = 15b-TCK-pg-49 =Aurdal, Valdres, Norway.Jens Lauritz Kjerulf, pastor in Gol, 1851-1876Jens Lauritz Kjerulf, following in the footsteps of his father,grandfather and great-grandfather, studied for the ministry. He beganhis studies in Christiania (Oslo) in 1819, took his degree intheology in 1828, and was ordained the same year. He was first"personellkapellan" (see previous explanation) for his father inHole, then in 1842 he became pastor in Trysil, where he remaineduntil 1851. Thereafter he became pastor in Gol and Hemsedal,remaining there for 25 years until, in 1878, he went to live with hisson-in-law, Haldor Westerbø, in Valdres, where he died in 1891.In 1833 Jens Lauritz Kjerulf married Henriette Philipine Dunker, whowas born in 1804 and died in Valdres in 1880. She was the daughter ofAdjutant General Henrik Dunker and his wife, Charlotte Lutzow. He wasa close relative of the attorney Dunker, who was well-knownthroughout Norway.It is a bit strange now to think that our great-grandfather was afellow student of Henrik Wergeland during the latter part of the1820s. Wergeland, who was born in 1808, was nine years younger thanKjerulf, and took his degree in theology in 1829. Great-grandfathertold our grandfather that he had been present at the famous"Torvslaget" (Battle at the Market Square), the first genuine massdemonstration we hear about in our history. And, according to"Morgenbladet" (a newspaper), it was the students who were "theleaders of the agitation". In the article we read that "a swarm ofpeople set off down Storgaten to Vaterlands Torv and Vognmandsgaten,from where they headed over to the docks and then up Rådhusgaten,past the residence of the "Statholder" and the house of the StudentAssociation..."A police officer identified a young man named Stuberg, who at thattime also had a position as a "klokker" (a person who led the singingat church services), as one of the ringleaders of the demonstration.According to the newspaper, this officer testified that atVognmandsgaten Stuberg had gone to the head of the crowd, shoutedencouragement and swung his hat in the air. Kjerulf was surely afriend of this Stuberg, for when he became pastor in Trysil, heemployed a student named Andreas Stuberg as tutor for his chidren.This young man was certainly a son of "klokker" Stuberg, who was the"ringleader of the mob" in 1829.
