NOTES: Extractions from "CHRONICLES OF A MINNESOTA PIONEER" (D-012) by
Tilla Regina Dahl Deen-1734, daughter of Nils Dahl-1293.
She spells her father's name, Niels Tobias Dahl. (also D-013 & D-014)
And spells her mother's name, Tori Hoverson.
"When father came to America he was the only member of his family to
come. Later two of his brothers with their families came to our
Dunn County home. As all homesteads near there had been taken,
the brothers moved on to Blue Earth County, Minnesota." She is
referring to Hans P. Dahl-482 and Tonnes A. Dahl-1294 who
emmigrated in 1867 and 1868 respectively. " The villiage of
Pemberton is located on land homsteaded by my uncle Tonnes Dahl."
Nils came from Norway at the age of 20. As soon as he was of age
he homesteaded a farm in Coon Prairie, Wisc. and lived there until
May 1865 when he moved to Dunn County, Wisc. The villiage of
Colfax is on the farmland they owned there. In May 1870 he moved
his family by covered wagon to Blue Earth County, Minn. where he
lived for 3 years. D-012, by daughter Tilla, describes her
memories of growing up and life on the homestead in Cottonwood,
Minn. Nils sold the farm about 1878, soon after baby Herman died
from chickenpox, and moved to Minneota, Minnesota in August, 1879.
Nils had bought a farm a mile east of town and the children
attended school in Minneota. "The school year 1948 was the first
one in the history of Minneota when the public schools of the
villiage had no member of the Dahl family among its pupils". (D-012
p.12)
D-014 describes the emmigration of Niels Dahl and the early years
in America. Niels left Norway April 26, 1851, crossing the
Atlantic in a small ship, (the passengers had to furnish their
own provisions on the ship) landing in New York eight weeks later.
From New York they travelled up the Hudson on a horse drawn canal
boat (which was merely an open barge with no shelter from the
weather) to Albany, and through the canal to Buffalo, N.Y. where
they boarded a small sailboat and landed at Milwaukee, Wisc.
There they bought ox teams and drove across the sparsely settled
state to Vernon County, arriving in August. They settled on
homesteads on Coon Prairie, near what is now Westby, Wisconsin.
Niels was the only member of his family to come at that time.
Tori came a year later with her family, via the same route,
and arrived in Coon Prairie about September 1852. She was 14
years old. Tori remained in Milwaukee for 2 years wih friends so
she could go to school, learn English and the American way of
housekeeping, finally arriving in Coon Prairie by ox drawn wagon.
After marriage Niels and Tori lived on the land he had
homesteaded as soon as he had become of age, until May 1863 when
they moved to Dunn County, Wisc. The village of Colfax is on the
farm they owned there. The moved to Minnesota and back to Wisc.,
then to Blue Earth Co., Minn again for about three years and
then in 1873 homesteaded in Lyon Co., Minnesota on the west side
Cottonwood Lake. After 7 years, in Aug. 1879, they moved
again and bought a farm in Eidsvold Township. They lived one mile
east of Minneota until Feb 22, 1897 when they moved to Minneota
where they lived until their death

!SO: D-016 From AC provided by Paul and Nina Larson.
D-027 from Nina Larson in 1990.
D-008 Information from P.T. Larson-1481 indicates that Hans Olson served
as a "life guard to foot" for either King Frederick the 5th, who reigned
from 1746 to 1776, or for King Kristian the 7th, 1766 to 1808.
In his letter of discharge it was stated that Hans Olson had strong
shoulders and strong legs and that he served the king faithfully as the
"life guard to foot" for 8 years and 8 months.
He married a girl from Lundesagn by the name of Marthe Kjyrmo. By
inheritance she was entitled to the homeplace and they were to live there,
but Hans got so homesick that he could not stay there so they moved to
Oksendal where he took posession of the original homestead, "Volden". From
Marthe Kjyrmo the names PEDER and MARTHE came into our family.
NOTES: D-013 Occupation listed as farmer in Oksendal and carpenter. Served as
life guard to King Kristian of Denmark 8 years and 8 months (1766-1774).
When he moved back to Oksendal, he bought the homeplace from his
brother, Hans.
D-014 reveals that he and eleven others were selected to be the king's
special body guard. Norway was then ruled by Denmark. While in this
service he recieved a uniform and a chest in which to keep his clothes.
The chest, which is inscribed with the date 1776, is now (as of 1968) in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Deen, Minneota, Minn. Buttons from the
uniform and his honorable discharge were in the possession of Nils H.
Dahl at Minot, N.D. He was described in his discharge papers as being
'light hair, blue eyes, broad shoulders and strong legs'. "It is said
that once when the soldiers were lifting various objects to measure
thier strength, that he placed his head under a horse and stood to full
height with the horse hanging across his shoulders. Asked by the king
what they fed men in Norway to make them so strong, he answered - `Your
Majesty, in Norway they feed the men the food you feed your horses ...
oats.' This was true for the main food in Norway then was oatmeal"
PROBLEM: D-024 lists b. date as 1765.
D-042 indicates he was a farmer. Was widely known for his great
strength. But attributes the bodygard duties to his son, Peder.

Hans married Marta Pedersdatter Steinberg. Marta (daughter of Peder Salvesen Steinberg and Ingeborg Nilsdatter Hamre) was born on 21 Jul 1767 in Steinberg, Lund, Rogaland, Norway; died on 10 Dec 1831. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
