Looking for information on Jens and Eda Petersen. They lived in the Lake Benton area. Jens was a blacksmith. I know of at least two children, Holger (d. abt 1983)(grandfather) and Geraldine. Holger m. Cora Christopherson(b. 1918, d. 10 June 2006) and they had several children. One is my father named Richard D. (b. 1939). Jens had at least two brothers, maybe named Kanud (Spelling) and Peder (Peter).
Jens was possibly a blacksmith owner or worked in a blacksmith shop.
