Peder O. Nielsen [53823]

  Notater:

From the book, "Hetland, My Hometown, Centennial Book 1888-1988": We have known for years about the sod houses made by early pioneers for their first dwellings. Peder Nielsen came from Thisted, Denmark, to the country north of Badger. He was a sod house constructor in the 1880s and helped newcomers build their sod shelters. Of special note is the fact that he supervised the building of the first Danish Lutheran Church, erected when the congregation was established. It was a sod Temple to the people who cherished and attended it. Of interest also, to us in Hetland, is the fact that Peder Nielsen was Martin Steffensen's grandfaather.
