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.
