According to a note from the donor, this garment was "Made By Grandma Marie Pedersen." There is no further information regarding this garment. ---------------------------------- FAMILY HISTORY: Donor's grandfather was Hans Jorgen Pedersen. Pastor H. J. Pedersen, considered "the founder of Danebod" in Tyler, Minnesota, was born in Ringe, Denmark on December 28, 1851. He immigrated to the United States in 1875 and served as minister at the congregation at Gowen, Michigan, until 1880 when he became president of the folk school in Elk Horn, Iowa. He married Ane Marie Jepsen (Jeppesen) on October 20, 1875 in Michigan. She was the only one of her family to immigrate to the USA. The couple had six children together: Holger Wilhelm, Svend Sigurd, Thyra Elisabeth, Ansgar Johannes, Ingrid Marie, Astrid Christine. In 1882 he returned to Michigan and built the Ashland Folk School near Grant. In 1888, Rev. and Mrs. Pedersen and their six children moved to Tyler so that he might found a folk school there. Danebod is the name applied to the colony, the church, and the folk school that served as a vital center of education and Danish culture for Danish immigrants. H. J. Pedersen died on July 20, 1905, in Ruthton, Minnesota. |
