DAHL, PETER
Peter Dahl, an agriculturist of energy and ability, who is residing three miles southwest of the city of Clifton, was born in Bosque coun­ty on the 22d of March, 1858, and is a de­scendant of one of the early pioneers of the state, his parents being Henry O. and Christina (Fureset) Dahl. The father's birth occurred in Romedal, Norway, and it was in the year 1852 that he became a resident of Texas.
Our subject is the third in order of birth in the family, which consisted of nine chil­dren, and he early became familiar with the duties that fall to the lot of an agriculturist. He has always followed farming as a life work, and now owns a tract of seven hun­dred and three acres of valuable land, fifty of which he has placed under the plow, while all is under fence, the greater portion being utilized for pasture lands. His resi­dence is far ahead of that of the average Texas farmer, being a large two-story frame dwelling, located on a very prominent build­ing site, with all modern conveniences, and at once strikes the beholder as the home of a model farmer.
Mr. Dahl has been twice married. On the 2Sth of December, 1882, he wedded Miss Annie E. C. Nelson, whose death oc­curred January 10, 1894. By this marriage there were seven children, namely: Chris­tine E., Hendrek A., Osunelle M., Axel O., Palmer S., Agnes B., and Alma B. who died July 4, 1893. His second union was with Miss Ingeborg E. Ellengson, a native of Norway, whom he married March 14, 1895, and she died January 27, 1896, leaving one child, Bernt I.
Mr. Dahl is one of those gentlemen who keeps abreast with the times, taking an act­ive interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of his county and state, particularly educational matters, and has been for sev­eral years a member of the board of school trustees of district No. 21. Religiously he is a consistent member of the Lutheran church, and is held in high regard by all who know him. (Source: History of Texas, Central Texas, Vol I, The Lewis Publishing Company, 1896
