Helmer Andersen Gjedeboe was born on the Geitbuen farm in Orkdalen (now part of Orkland Municipality) in Søndre Trondhjem county, Norway. Helmer Gjedebo began his military career as a soldier in 1804. After he completed his military service in 1818, he ran a shop. In 1824, he received a license as a distiller. He entered public service as police officer in Trondheim from 1838–1850. His former residence in Trondheim was moved in 1979, rebuilt and opened in the Trondelag Folk Museum (Trøndelag Folkemuseum).^[2][3]
