farming, back in the post office, back
on the farm, and then back to town.

the Askov Hardware & Motor Co.,
which later was reduced in size to
where J. r. only handled the imple-
ment and repair line which he re-
Gently sold to Arnold Sorensen.
Mr.. Petersen has also been eX-
ceedingly active in fraternal, social
and cooperative movements here. He
has been an officer and active men,
Der for many years in the Pine COun-
ty Mutual Fire Insurance Co., the
Askov Creamery Association and also

Folkesamfund, Danish Brotherhood,
Askov band, credit union, Askov-Barr
Corporation, community club, Kettle
River park project, commercial club,
village council, and others, where his
dependable services will be greatly
missed.
The American joins with the COM
munity in regretting the loss but at
the same time wishing Mr.. Petersen
and his family health and happiness
in their contemplated location at Sol
wang, Calf.
