incorrect, since O-014 points out that her father, Peder H. Dahl, did

D-015 states that after confirmation, Peder attended school at

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.

Peder married Louise Reishus. Louise (daughter of Sondre OLSON Reishus and Ingeborg Torjusdatter Lomkjon) was born on 22 Aug 1856 in Rushford, Fillmore, Minnesota, United States; died on 27 Aug 1919 in Sioux Falls, Minnehaha, South Dakota, United States; was buried in Vangen Lutheran Cemetery, Mission Hill, Yankton, South Dakota, United States.

Is listed as Lasse Orwoll (Americanized) also.
Lasse was born at Olnes, but his oldest brother, Sylfest, inherited the Olnes
farm, so Lasse bought the Aarvoll farm at an auction in 1825. From the
ORWOLL DOC `A' by Milton Hackett we read, "Aarvoll was an impressive farm
estate. It extended from the water's edge inland along the slope leading to
the fjord wall." "The farm at Aarvoll remains in the possession of the
descendents of Ola Aarvoll. Now (1984) lives there Leiv Aarvoll (1933- )
the current owner, and his wife, Jorum. Their son, Jarle Leivson (1959- )
is prospective heir. He is of the fourth generation from Ola, collateral to
the fourth generation from Sylfest Orwoll. The farm is now contained within
the villiage of Sogndal and some of the land has been sold to developers.
Leiv and Jorum live in an impressive whit house built about 1925. As in the
old days, each spring the blossoms in the apple orchard continue to charm.
Seven children were born to Lasse and Sigrid. The eldest, Ola, inherited the
farm and the other six eventually migrated to America.

!SO: D-041 by Carol Reishus Lund. From Alice Lund.
NOTES: D-042 relates that Sondre was an only child. And after his mother died,
he wanted to take over the farm, Reishus. However his father was
unwilling to turn the place over to him, apparantly becauce Sondre's
father was intending to remarry and remain on the farm. Sondre and
Ingeborg decided to go to America and the remainder of this `REISHUS
FAMILY SAGA' deals with the details of the trip and the beginnings in
America. They eventually bought 120 acres of farm land at First Lake,
a distance of about 80 miles from Milwakee, WI. In 1853 the railroad
came through a corner of their land. and the Indians had traded land to
the whites that same year. Minnesota was still a Territiory.
In 1854 they moved to Minnesota locating at the Root River in Fillmore
County, where the town of Rushford would later be established. They did
well on their farm there. In the fall of 1856? they sold their wheat for
$1.50 per bushel.

Sondre married Ingeborg Torjusdatter Lomkjon on 2 Apr 1842 in Sefjord, Norway. Ingeborg (daughter of Torjus Evenson and Groe Knudsdatter Skararud) was born on 20 Nov 1816. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
