  • Notes 
    • Jørgen Rytterager (11 June 1809 – 17 March 1899) was a Norwegian farme r a nd public servant.

      Born in Hole, Buskerud to a wealthy family, he married Anne Engebretsdat t er Hovin (1813–1899) from Tyristrand on 23 July 1837. Rytterager beca m e a successful farmer in Buskerud, and had various positions in publi c se rvice, amongst them elector and arbitrator for Buskerud County. He n oneth eless lost his fortune after a few unfortunate transactions in th e summe r of 1865.

      When the Krøder Line, a branch line from the Randsfjord Line, was constr u cted in the early 1870s, Rytterager wanted to become station master a t th e future Snarum Station. On 14 March 1872, he sent a letter to the o perat ions manager of the Randsfjord Line, asking for the position. He re ceive d a reply in a letter from the operations manager dated 28 Septembe r 1872 , in which the manager approved Rytterager's application. He was o fficial ly appointed station master at a meeting on 26 November 1872, a t the ag e of 63 years. His monthly salaries were 15 Norwegian speciedale r per mon th, as well as free accommodation, lighting and heating and a n ew unifor m each year. The uniform consisted of a trench coat, a hat wit h silver ba dge, single-breasted dress and west with flipped collar. In 1 873, it wa s decided that all serving station masters should have a red s trip aroun d the bottom edge of the hat, so that passengers more easily c ould recogn ize the station master.

      Rytterager's duties as a station master were ticket sale, freight expedi t ion and supervision of logging at a side track at the station. From 2 0 Ma rch 1873, it was possible to send telegrams from Snarum Station. Ryt terag er sent telegrams to Vikersund Station, in which he stated the arri val an d departure dates of trains from Snarum Station. On 1 November 187 3, a po st office was opened at Snarum, where Rytterager was employed a s post ope ner for customers. His salary was therefore increased from 1 5 to 18 speci edaler on 1 January 1874, and from 18 to 20 on 1 November 1 875. After te n years in service, Rytterager retired from his positions a t the statio n on 1 December 1882. He was succeeded by Olaus Strøm.[4] H e lived togeth er with his wife a few years in the house of their eldes t daughter, befor e they moved to their own house at Modum. Here, Ryttera ger died on 17 Mar ch 1899 after he had fallen down a stairway in their h ouse.
