    Notes 
    • In the 1875 Norwegian census, he is husmand Søfarende Kystfart on the Lynshaug farm in Inderøy.

      From the 1900 census, it appears that Peter emigrated in 1879 and his wife and children followed in 1881. If so, he must have come back to Norway to get them because they all left Inderøy together in August of 1881.

      In the 1885 state census, he and his family live in Fergus Falls.

      In the 1888-1889 Duluth city directory, he is Peter Aune, butcher for K P Balstad, who “bds same West Duluth.” In the 1890-1891 Duluth city directory, there is an entry for Orfel & Co at 2101 W Superior for which the partners are Martin Orfel and Peter Aume. In that directory, Peter L of “Orfel & Co” resides at 2230 W Michigan. In the 1891-1892 and 1892-1893 Duluth city directories, there is an entry for “Orfald and Aune meats”, a business at “rear 2101 W Superior”, for which the partners are shown as Martin Orfald and Peter Aune.

      In the 1891-1892 city directory, he is still Peter L Aune of Orfald & Aune who resides at 2230 W Michigan. In the 1892-1893 city directory, he is Peter Aune of Orfald & Aune who resides at 2302 W Michigan. In the 1893-1894 city directory, he is Peter L Aune, “meats rear 2101 W Superior” who resides at 2302 W Michigan. In the 1894-1895 city directory, he is Peter L Aune, a butcher with Sivert Aune, who resides at 2302 W Michigan. Sivert also resides there and is shown as “clk C Mickelson, meats rear 2101 W Superior.” In the 1895-1896 city directory, he is Peter L Aune, butcher with Sivert Aune, who resides at 2221 W Michigan. Sivert also resides there and is shown as “meats rear 2101 W Superior.”

      In the 1896-1897 city directory, he is Peter L Aune, butcher with Sivert Aune, who resides at 2221 W Michigan. Sivert also resides there and is shown as “meats rear 2102 W Superior.”

      In the 1897-1898 and 1898-1899 city directories, he is Peter L. Aune, a butcher with Sivert Aune and who resides at 2221 W Michigan.

      In the 1899 and 1900 city directories, he is Peter L Aune, “meats 2226 W Superior” and who resides at 2221 W Michigan.

      In the 1901 city directory, there is a bold-face advertisement for “Aune Peter L, Meat Market 2226 W Superior, Tel Zenith 425.” Peter resides at 2221 W Michigan.

      In the 1895 state census he is listed as a 53 year-old butcher at 2121 West Michigan Street and the rest of the family is listed several pages later at 2221 West Michigan. Peter had been in the state for 16 years and had been in the local enumeration district for 6 years.

      He and his family lived on 2221 West Michigan Street in Duluth in the 1900 census. He was a butcher shop proprietor. His wife was a cook in a hotel, his son Sivert was a clerk in a hotel. His daughter Emma was a saleswoman. His daughter Lucy was a stenographer.

      The 2221 West Michigan address was probably a boarding house or residence hotel.

      John Orfald, 38, cook, and Petter Aune, 62, butcher, both of 2224 West Superior Street in Duluth, went to Norway in the early 1900s. They arrived in New York on September 1, 1904, aboard the S.S. Baltic which had sailed from Liverpool on August 24th. Arriving in the U.S. with John and Petter was Ingvald Aune, age 9, a citizen of Norway, who is indicated on the Baltic’s manifest to be the “ward” of Petter. The child’s passage had been paid for by his grandfather. Petter had become a citizen by action of the District Court of St. Louis County on July 17, 1893, and John by that same authority on April 2, 1888. Ingvald is shown as going to join his mother.

      In the 1910 census, the Aunes have a large extended family living at the 2221 West Michigan Street establishment. Sivert is the head of household and is married to Lollie or Lillie. He is the proprietor of the boarding house. Peter, the “father”, is a partner in a meat business. Emma, Lena, Alma, and Clara (”Kella”) are spinsters. Emma is a private nurse, Lena is a music teacher, Alma is a stenographer in an office, and Clara is a school teacher. Also living at 2221 West Michigan are John Adams and Lucie and the John and Mary Jensen family.

      In the 1920 census, Peter and Anna, along with their unmarried daughters Emma, Alma, and Clara, live in Duluth. Peter is a retail butcher with his own shop. Emma is a nurse, Alma is a stenographer in a railroad office, and Clara is a public school teacher.

      His wife Anna was the informant for his death certificate. His residence was 129 North 24th Avenue West in Duluth. He was a retired merchant of retail meats. He died of arterioslerosis.
