| Notes |
- In an excerpt from "From Norway to North America: The Descendants in Canada and the United States of Olaf and Caroline Pederson" by Jean E. Peterson, 1981, Viola Redick, a niece of Ole Peterson's, relates the following:
I can recall her [Nellie Peterson, Ole's sister] and Uncle Ole Peterson arguing about how to make coffee. Our place was his second home. He had built a cabin in the Big Pembina Coulee. I remember him coming winter time with skiis on his feet and snow shoes strapped on his back. These he used when the snow was soft. He would make his own leather jacket with fringe on the sleeves, and leather trousers. Sometimes he used Mother's Singer. When he was in his cabin he would sew on a machine that he operated by hand. He had a beautiful leather vest, which he wore in the winter. The front was covered with bead work. He had received this and a pair of moccasins from Indians in Canada. I still recall in the late fall he would say, "It's about time to go to the Northwest."
