Peder Kristian Pedersen 3 Jun 1887 - 21 May 1925
Peder was born in Helgland Norway, according to his draft card. He immigrated in 1910 with his sister Anna (Grandma Jensen) and his fiance Amanda Nepaas.
In 1915 and in 1919 he is listed in the Minneapolis Directory as a carpenter living at 4508 43rd avenue south. (Dad's book said they lived near Minnehaha Park.)
I'm not sure when Peter and Amanda married. I do know that Amanda was 25 years old at the time (1930 census record), so it was probably about 1913, and that they had two children - Synnova 1916, and Clarice 1918.
By 1920, Peter had TB and was living at the Glen Lake Sanitorium in Lake Minnetonka Line 20). He died in 1925. I'm not sure where he was buried.
Aunt Amanda raised her daughters and later remarried, but tragically her second husband, nicknamed "Happy", killed himself. She may have died in 1961, although I have not confirmed this yet.
