From A HISTORY OF FREEBORN COUNTY, MN. PUBLISHED IN 1911:
Peter Kvale, who is in charge of the Emmons Creamery, was born on his father's farm in Nunda, May 7, 1880, the son of Thoud and Ingra Kvale, who were among the early pioneers of Freeborn county. He attended the country schools, and always having a strong inclination to books and study, he did well in his school work. After he had completed the common school, he worked at home with his father till he was twenty-one years of age, and then went to the Minnesota University, where he took a full course in dairying. Having completed this course he was offered and accepted a position with the Clover Valley Creamery of Pickerel Lake, where he remained in charge four years. The Emmons Creamery was formerly in charge of an especially good man who was ambitious, and with the enthusiastic support of the members of the board was enabled to step from there into a very lucrative position in government employe. At this time the board were on the lookout for another man equally good, and decided on the subject of this biography as the man. It was in 1907 that Mr. Kvale came to his present position, and long ago all concerned were of the opinion that he was the right man for the place. Mr. Kvale is a member of the Lutheran Church. He votes with the Republican party. On May 26, 1901, he married Jensena Lah, of Iowa, and to them have been born four children, Ingra, Joseph, Myrtle and Pearl.
