Hi Sherri,
Olaf homesteaded & farmer there- farm land if about 8 miles south & 3 miles east from Whitelaw .
I am confused about the book information- as at first I was told he had a write up in the book & then told there was nothing in the book
I think his wife was Jennie Caren Schiel(??)- sons Ole & Norman Pedersen Allen
I am not sure when or why but Ole ended up in the hospital in Ponoka & died there He is buried in Olds Ab.
Olaf Klaudius Pederson/Pedersen is also buried with Ole in Olds Cemetery- I am not sure if Jennie died in Olds or Whitelaw??
Olaf's son Norman took the last name of Allen and moved to BC- He lived in North Van or West Van & died there-Not sure where he is buried?
If you can help that would be great!
Olaf was born in Oslo -Parents were Klaudius & (Johanne)Petronelle Pedersen
(He also had a brother Peter Bernhard Petterson/Pedersen- who lived in Naicam Sask & Hythe AB- There are still alot of family there)
Bye for now
Jan
