Notes:

Notes - Before leaving for the west coast to make her future home, Mrs. Lars Welo, of this city, gave the society a cane used by her grandfather for many years. Her grandfather's name was Andreas O. Bakken and before coming to America he had the misfortune to freeze his feet very badly. He had gone up into the mountains to get fire wood and before he realized his condition, one foot particularly was almost beyond help. He managed to get home and immediately started thawing out his feet. He soon found however that mortification was setting in on the bad foot. It was a long distance to any doctor so he commenced by cutting off the toes but this did not heal and so a little later he amputated still further up. This also did not heal and so a third operation still further up toward the instep was done. The skin was drawn down over the stump and this time healed nicely. He left Norway for America about 1865 and a little later came to Ottertail county and settled in the Trondhjem neighborhood. The cane above was given by his grand daughter Mrs. Lars Welo. The courage of some of these Norsmen is almost beyond belief. Another settler in that neighborhood, I think his name was Engebret E. Wee got caught in the great blizzard of 1872 and froze his fingers on one hand so badly that amputation was necessary. It was a long distance to Fergus Falls and so Andreas Bakken took his knife and cut all the fingers off to the second joint. Then held the hand against a grind stone and rounded the edges of the bones and then lapped the skin over the end and they all healed nicely. However, the ends of the fingers were like a knobs and while conspicuous still he was able to do a hard days work for many years afterwards. Mrs. Welo also gave a pair of plyers which her grandfather used for making hooks and eyes for the ladies' dresses. The plyers were made by hand and she feels quite certain are 150 years old having come down through several generations.

Notes (Fergus Falls Historical Society) - Mrs. Lars L. Welo, this city, has given a black dress and blouse work by her mother Mrs. Amund Lerbakken (Karen) when she came to Oscar township in 1869. The style of dress worn by the pioneers of this or any other country is interestng and always attracts attention. I wish we had more of it as well as a nice cabinet to display it in.
