    • Witnesses to his baptism were Otto and Anna Steensland and Lizzie and Carl Steensland.

      In the 1930 census, he and Mabel lived in Virginia, Minnesota. Herman is a battery man for a garage. They have no children.

      In the 1940 census, he and Mabel and their two sons lived in Fairbanks, Alaska. The elder Herman was an aviator for an airplane company. Cathy says he was an Alaskan bush pilot in the ‘30s. The family returned to the lower 48 during WWII because the Japanese were in the Aleutian islands. In his draft registration for World War II, his employer was Wien Alaska Airlines, Inc.

      In 1947 he was a pilot for Northwest Airlines. A newspaper article in the 15 Aug 1947 edition of the St. Cloud Times says that that he saw a “flying disc or other unidentified object” over Billings, Montana, in the middle of the afternoon on August 13th.

      He was married to Daisy K Lerdahl at the time of his death.
