Ole C. Dahl was the oldest son, born December 18, 1817. He came to America together with his brothers Simon and Børre in the spring of 1865, first settling in Iowa, where he followed his trade as painter for two years and saved up enough money to sent to Norway to his wife to pay for the passage for her and their six children. In 1867 they emigrated to Ottertail county with a number of other settlers with ox teams and covered wagons. At that time, Ole Dahl did not have a team or wagon, so he paid one of the settlers to let his wife and daughter ride in their wagon. Ole Dahl and his twelve year old son walked the whole distance, averaging about twenty-five miles per day for a distance of three hundred miles. They left four of the children at Rochester, Minnesota where they worked for a while and joined the family later in Otter Tail County.
Ole C. Dahl married Oline Olstad at Faaberg, Norway in 1839. To this union were born the following children: Christian; Randine; (Mrs. O. M. Wick) Gunder, Martinus Caroline (Mrs. G.O. Hammer); Jettemina (Mrs. G.W. Boyington); Gustav and Tilda (Mrs. Oliver A. Rustad) Ole Dahl homesteaded the Southwest Quarter of section 12, in Tumuli Township, and in 1882 the northwest corner of his farm was platted in the Village of Dalton, Minnesota USA which was named after him. Ole C. Dahl died August 17, 1908 and Mrs. Dahl died January 13, 1893.

~. Ole has a daughter by the name of Karoline, that according to my documents is 1\ ~ bom 1849 in Gausdal. However th. precision of that information allows for the interpretation that she was born "on the way from" Gausdal. In that case Trondheim. or the region of Trondheim?
