In 1767 Lesja church purchased new bells, for which members of the congregation bore the cost. The largest has a long inscription which indicates that it was cast at Nestane farm in Lesja parish and Fredrik Nicolai Wiborg is named here as one of those who paid for it.<ref name=B/><ref name=OE>Østerås, Otto: Kirkeklokker i bygdesoga, Lesja historielag.

Besides performing duties as a sexton, Wiborg was a member of the broader community. Nicolai Christian Lassen’s diary, which was published in 1777, gives insight in its record of a visit with Wiborg at Sili. Lassen indicates that: “In Lossøe parish at the Sili farm the owner, sexton Wiborg has converted a marsh to meadow ground by drainage, where it now grows 6 hayricks of hay. He has built a farm house, under which he set a foundation three yards deep into the earth, and under the walls lay stone drainage passages it drain away the spring water that erodes away the earth. He operated the first stamp mill (for wadmal) in the parish. Several years prior he made an attempt to fire faience ware from a very fine clay, which is found in the vicinity of the main church. Because of the locations great separation from the marketplaces, shipping to the customer was difficult and costly. Besides in the vicinity there is limited wood for burning. Viborg is a witty & skilled farmer who with his children has improved three farms, where he formerly dwelled. He also keeps himself temperate.”<ref name=L>Lassen, Nicolai: Nicolai Christian Lassens Dagbok fra 1777 over en Reise igiennem Guldbrandsdalen; Gudbrandsdalens Historielag 1933 </ref> | |||
