  Notes	In the 1870 census, he was Peder Olson, 36, a railroad worker living in Calmar Twp, Winneshiek County, Iowa (post office Conover). His wife was Bertha, 44, and their children were Olina, 7, born in Norway, Erik, 4, born in Wisconsin, and Lisa, 2, born in Iowa. A different Peder Oleson Krogen (b. 1853 in Folldal), also with a daughter named Oline, lived in Prairie Farm Twp, Barron County, Wisconsin. In a land office grant dated 23 Apr 1891, Peder Olson Krogen acquired the south half of the northeastern quarter of section 10 of the South Dakota township described at 113 North, 053 W, using the 5th prime meridian. In the 1900 census, Petter O Krogen, age 61, and his wife Anne, age 71, lived on a farm they owned in Norden Twp, Hamlin County, South Dakota. The census form shows that both came to the U.S. in 1861 and that they had been married for 39 years. Anne is shown has having had 3 children, 1 still living. There are no children living with them. The only other member of the household is a farm laborer named Rudolph Lee who may be Anna’s grandson. This census entry is confusing because the immigration dates and the implied date of marriage is for Petter’s first wife, not his second. In the 1905 state census, he is Peter O Krogen, age 67, married, living in South Dakota. He had come to the U.S. in 1861 and to South Dakota in 1881. He is shown in the Hayti Lutheran Church death record as Peter Arneson Krogen, age 61.
