Anecdote

Note: When they arrived in Dakota Territory, near the future townsite of Milton, the land was not yet surveyed, and there were at times unfriendly Indians lurking around. The Hjelmstads lived on one hill, and Beate's brother Lars Walstad lived on another. This took place four years before the railroad came to Milton. |
Anecdote
|
Note: Hans changed his pre-emption filing to a homestead application on 160 acres in Sec. 26, T160N, R57W, Cavalier County, North Dakota. Due to the distance to the Land Office, he was unable to appear there in person and filed an affidavit with the District Court in Langdon instead. |
