Notes
- !BIRTH: Clarence Peder Dahl may have been christened Peder Clarence Dahl. Born on the family farm in Lucas Township near Cottonwood. PROBLEM: D-040 and (O-12: Rec 62) lists it Peder Clarence. MARRIAGE: Married his childhood sweetheart, Helen Bly. OCCUPATION: Chiropracter. NOTES: At age 22, he and Helen moved to Davenport, Iowa and both studied to become chiropracters. Their first child was born the following year. In 1917 Dr. Dahl began his first chiropactic practice, in Cottonwood, and was occassionally assisted by his wife, Dr. Helen Dahl. In addition to involvement in civic affairs, he was a good athelete and played baseball and also was an acomplished golfer. His interest in music led him to sing in the Lutheran church choir and direct the town band for many years. During the depression, patients could no longer pay a set fee for services and Clarence continued to help his clients for a reduced, fee and in many cases, no fee at all. To manage during these times he opened a second office one or two nights a week in Granite Falls but even so the house had to be sold and the family moved into rented quarters. Somehow, during this time he managed to scrape up enough money to send Syble to college. In March, 1934, at the request of some citizens of Canby, Clarence moved to Canby and prospects for the future were bright. But on April 16, 1936, at the age of 46, Clarence suddenly died from a heart attach. In Cottonwood, where Clarence was a fovorite son, his obituary captured their feeling: "it can truly be said of Dr. Dahl - here was a noble man. His passing is a great loss". Helen remarried to Neil Kise, a recent widower and family friend. She returned to Cottonwood where son Curtis completed his schooling and took up his life's residence. Niel died in 1943. Helen lived on to age 90 and is buried beside Clarence. (ORWOLL DOC 'A') BURIAL: English Lutheran Cemetery.
