From the History of Mower County, 1911:
Torkal Olson Aldal, who farms a fine place of 180 acres in Udolpho, was born in Voss, Norway, June 4, 1844, and was twenty-one years of age when he came to America, locating in Dane county, and remaining two years. Then he took up his residence on his present place in Udolpho township. He has greatly improved the farm, erected a comfortable house and commodious barns, and has purchased some modern machinery which greatly facilitates his agricultural operations. Mr. Olson Aldal is a hard working man, and a thorough believer in education, having served twenty years on the school board. He was married November 15, 1872, to Julia Kanutson, of Wisconsin, and to this union have been born nine children, of whom four, John, Bennie, Susie and Maribo, are living. Susie, the oldest daughter, is the wife of H. H. Seagan, of Austin.
