Dear Dennis,
Hello again! We have corresponded before on your line. In "
Prairie Pioneers," there is a very short entry on your ancestors, which includes a wedding picture of Oscar and
Hannah. They were a very handsome couple! I am including the article verbatim.

Oscar Schjeldahl was born in Highlandville,
Iowa on May 6, 1882 where he grew to manhood. He married
Hannah Thorsen in 1907. Together they came to
Clermont Township and homesteaded on a farm 2 miles northwest of
Haynes in Section 19. They raised a family of five children and they all went to school in
Haynes. Stanley lives on a farm a mile out of
Haynes, still farming his dad's land; Earl lives in
Vancouver, Washington; Aldene (Mrs. Burt McDonald) of
Eldridge, N.D.;
Lyle lives in Middlehadden, Conn.; and Lorraine (Mrs. Fred
Peterson) in Sarasota,
Florida.
In 1950, Oscar sold his farm and moved to
Eldridge, N.D. to make his home and went into business with the McDonalds, where he lived and worked until he passed away on March 30, 1957.
Hannah Schjeldahl was born June 12, 1879 and passed away in January 1947.
