Extract

The Norwegian General Widows' Fund (Den norske almindelige enkekasse) is a public institution, guaranteed by the Norwegian Government, and consisting of two sections. The older of these, which ceased to receive new members in 1848, contains (1) the members of the Norwegian Widows' Fund, established on 20 March 1814, and (2) the Norwegian members of the old Danish-Norwegian Widows' Fund, who were transferred to it in 1821 in accordance with the Treaty of Kiel.
