    !SO: A-036, Several others.
    STATUS: CAP
    NOTES: Helge died 2 days after his 100th birthday. He and Anna were married
    76 years.
    BURIAL: Roselawn Cemetery.
    EDUCATION: Luther Normal School, (now Augustana Normal), Sioux Falls, South
    Dakota, 1896-1899.
    Luther Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota, 1905-1908.
    OCCUPATION: Lutheran minister, served Carpio, North Dakota, 1908-13; Esmond,
    North Dakota, 1913-47; retired in St. Paul, Minnesota, 1948-77.
    He taught school and was a church singing leader in Olmsted County,
    1899-00. From 1900-1905 he farmed and carried mail at Sherman, S.D.
    A-042 shows him as pastor of the English Lutheran Congregation in
    Cottonwood, MN, 1904-05. A-042 lists the names and history of the
    various churches he served.
    From Milton Hackett we read, "Anna and Helge's first home was at
    Sherman, where oldest child Ditlif was born. From there they moved
    to Cottonwood where Anna lived while Helge attended Luther Seminary
    at St. Paul. Three children were born meanwhile: Gerald, Wilhelm,
    and Ragnvald. Helge was ordained into the ministry in 1908 and was
    called to Carpio, N.D. They were in Carpio for 5 years: son Orwoll
    was born there. In 1913 the family moved to Esmond, N.D. where
    Helge became pastor in response to the Esmond call. He served
    three congregations: Trinity (in town), Emanual and St. Olaf. In
    Esmond were born Solveig Lois, Harald, and Alf. The retirement
    years, beginning in 1947, were spent in St. Paul (at 2343 Carter
    Ave.). Their home, near daughter Lois and son-in-law Woody
    Thorstenson remained a haven for the family members and a gathering
    place for the clan." (ORWOLL DOC 'A')
    He was Pres. of Northwestern College Corporation, 1913-1914.
    Helge was Secretary of the N.D. District of the Evangelical
    Lutheran Church and witnessed the merger of the Norse-speaking
    Lutheran congregations in 1917, the merger in 1942 of the
    Evangelical Lutheran Church, and as Emeritus Pastor, the merger
    forming the American Lutheran Church.
    In the 1900 Federal census he is listed, with his parents on the farm at
    Sherman, SD, single and working on the farm. In A-020-V he tells that he
    thinks the family (then Hege, Raghnild, Helge, Alma, Carl, Henrietta and
    Walter) moved to Sherman the fall of 1886. The Rosendal Church was just
    west of the Ostedal place. That building blew down and the new church was
    built 1/2 mile east of their home. While the church was being built,
    services were held in the 2nd floor of the parsonage (the early home known
    by Alert Palmer Aanestad). Then mentions the Rosendal
    congregation, the size (no details), the split. He tells that his grandfather,
    (Gunul), came to the U.S. with his family, but when asked about the name,
    Gunhild Bekkeset, Helge does not know that name. Helge says he was born at the
    Skarshaug's place (Groth place?) east of Clermont. Mentions that he believed
    Holstein Groth went to Elgin to trade, but that we (Helge) knew Clermont best.
    Says he (Helge) was born in Clayton Co., about 4 miles east of Clermont. When
    Helge, Clara and Carl were kids they lived near Clermont. When their father
    went to the semenery, they lived near Lansbobro, MN. When they later moved
    west in 1884, the got on the train at Lansbobro. Speaks of visits to
    Skarhaug's when kids. Mentions a play threshing machine. Goes on to tell of
    living at Lansboro, the move to Laverne, the call to Rosendal and the first day
    of school. Helge mentions something about an injured heel made by Rev. Turmo.
    No details given but mention is made of visiting Skarshaugs, Langs (when Alert
    Palmer Aanestad) was a small child, the Enersons (Enen and Tom, who had 1 son
    and 5 daughters). Names the children: Theodore, Minnie, Alma, Julia, Stina,
    Nora. Thinks Nora had written to Lois Thorstenson at one time and was living
    in Austin, MN and might be a good source about "Faster" and the Bekkeset line.

    Helge married Anna Dahl on 26 Jun 1901 in Cottonwood, Lyon, Minnesota, United States. Anna (daughter of Hans Christian Hanson Dahl and Siri Louise Orwoll) was born on 2 Mar 1879 in Lucas, Lyon, Minnesota, United States; was christened in 1879 in Cottonwood, Lyon, Minnesota, United States; died on 8 Jan 1979 in St. Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota, United States; was buried on 12 Jan 1979 in St. Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota, United States.

    Notes:



    !STATUS: CAP
    BIRTH: At home, on the family homestead in Lucas Township near Cottonwood.
    BAPTISM: Easter Sunday, what is now the English Lutheran Church, Cottonwood.
    BURIAL: Roselawn Cemetery.
    EDUCATION: Luther Normal School (now Augustana College), Sioux Falls, South
    Dakota, class 1900. It was here, at a basket social, that she met
    her husband to be, Helge M. Aanestad, from Sherman, South
    Dakota. An interesting finding from the 1900 census (CA-001 and
    CA-002), taken June 1900, was that Anna's occupation was listed as
    `at school' and Helge's was `works at home'. Helge's sister, Alma,
    was listed as living as a boarder at that time with Anna's mother,
    Sara. How did Alma come to board with Sara? Did Alma introduce
    Helge to Anna?
    RELIGION: Lutheran.
    OCCUPATION: Milton Hackett, Anna's nephew writes, "their service was truly a
    partnership affair, with Helge preaching and both of them teaching,
    counseling, and leading and assisting in the numerous church-
    centered affairs . . . musicals, festivals, and societies.
    Ranking next in importance to church and family to Anna and
    Helge, were interests in music and education. These interests they
    imparted to their children. Somehow, on the less than adequate
    resources available to a country preacher in the depression days,
    they managed to see that all eight children attended college.
    Life in a country parish on the prairie is aptly described by
    the title of Anna's memoir. 'Chuckles and Tears'". (ORWOLL DOC 'A')
    Anna was the N.D. District Historian of the Women's Missionary
    Federation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
    NOTES: Anna and Helge were married 76 years. He died 2 days after his 100th
    birthday. She died just 2 months before reaching her 100th
    birthday.
    PROBLEM: A-035 lists name with middle initial, Anna C. Dahl.
