Notes
- !SO: FGR-174 NOTES: Hilda lists 14 children which are entered. Lois lists 11: the 3 not listed by Lois seem to be: Herbert Chritian Dahl, the twin of Helga (who died at birth) and Roland Dahl. In D-031 Nina Larson lists it Peder H. Dahl (Peder Hansen Oksendal). O-12 lists it Peder Hansen Dahl. NOTES: "Peder Hanson Dahl taught a short school session in Cottonwood, Lyon Co., Minn., in a dugout part of father's and mother's new home of lumber." "Peder Hanson Dahl became a minister." D-013 D-015 states that after confirmation, Peder attended school at Egersund, Norway. It was called 'Seminar'. When he returned home he taught school in the same schoolhouse where he had gone to school. He was called a 'Seminarist' then. D-022 lists name Peder Hans Dahl. From D-030 we read about the history of the early Lutheran church at Gayville, Vangen, and Bergen (south of the present Meckling, SD). "In 1881, the Rev. P.H. Dahl Bergen Church, (the present Bergen Curch was built later, in 1909 and 1910 while Rev. Dahl was still pastor). pastor). A great deal could be said about the long and consecrated service of Pastor Dahl. By his loving disposition, his quiet and unassuming manner, his faith in God and man, he won his way into the hearts of his parishoners. Pastor and Mrs. Dahl were faithful doctor's helpers during many an illness, and remembered particularly was a diptheria epidemic when they swabbed throats in many homes. The pastor's pay often consisted of hay and oats for the horses, produce, half a hog or beef; likely no set salary was ever agreed on. All transportation was by foot, horseback or horse and buggy. The earlier roads were nothing more or less than a trail through the long prairie grass. In the rainy season, they became a mass of sticky gumbo that gummed the wheels, making it necessary for him to stop along the way to clean the spokes of the wheels. Often, when he came by sled, his whiskers and fur coat glistened with long icicles which delighted the children. In 1916 he purchased his first car, a Model T Ford from George Mortenson, which he often found more difficult to handle than the horses." D-030 goes on to reveal that the Rev. P.H. Dahl, his wife - a stately and capable woman - and three children Anna, Hans and Inga, arrived in late 1881. Louise, better known as Lula, and Sandre were born in the original parsonage south of the tracks and in 1885 the family moved to the new parsonage, where Alice, Wilhem, Randolph, Margaret, Constance, and Helga were born -- also Herbert and Roland, who died in infancy. In spite of having no modern conveniences, Mrs. Dahl was always a dignified and charming hostess and performed well her duties as `preste frue' and mother. Teachers often roomed and boarded at Pastor Dahl's home.
