Sam and Louise Wigdahl by Louise Wigdahl Kan

My father, Sam Wigdahl, came to the United States with his parents, the Jens Wigdahls, when he was eight years old. They came from Wigdahl Sogn, Norway and settled at Petersburg, North Dakota where they operated a hotel for many years.

Dad married Amanda Overland and they had two children, Clara and Alfred. I do not know any details about his first wife, but after she died he married my mother, Louise Valde. She came to the United States from Sangshipso Island, Norway as a young lady, her sister and a friend came with her. They had friends in the Petersburg area. Mother homesteaded in what is now Burke County. My mother's sister and friend returned to Norway as they found too many hardships in the new land and all of their friends and people were back there.

Mother had three children, Johnny, Agnes, and me; she died when I was born. Mrs. Svend Walseth took care of me for a couple of years. When Dad married again, they took me home again, he had promised my mother he would keep us all together. Mrs. Martin Sathre wanted to adopt me as she had been a good friend of my mother and did not have any children of her own at the time. Walseth's did not have any children at the time they took care of me but a son was born later.
