Norman Myhran PETERSON

Notes:

There were two Myhran families in the East Barton precinct in the 1900 census. Neither of them had a child named Norman so, unless Norman was renamed, it is likely that Norman was born after 1900.

The two families were:

1) Next door to Ole and Josie: Christian, 35, and Gurin, 28, with their children Tollef, 11 (Mar 1889), Gustav, 6 (Mar 1894), Paul, 4 (Feb 1896), and Bertha 5 months (Jan 1900). This family had come to the U. S. from Norway in 1897 although Christian had come a year earlier. Christian owned his farm, free of mortgage.

2) Next door to Carl and Maria Lundberg: Tollef, 41, and Birgit, 37, and their children Bergine, 7 (Apr 1893), Gustav, 5 (July 1894), Oscar, 4 (Feb 1896), and Albert, 2 (Mar 1898). Tollef had come to this country in 1884 and his wife in 1892. All of the children had been born in North Dakota. Tollef owned his farm free of mortgage.

In the 1910 census, both families were still farming in Pierce County, North Dakota and both had had more children.
