Great Uncle Ole

Ole Christophersen Dahlager was born
on January 23, 1878
at Silver Lake, Iowa.
When he was born, he only weighed
about two pounds,
and his bed was a man's shoebox.

He may have been a small baby,
but he grew to be a large man,
about six feet tall.

Ole was yet another of my ancestors
who became a Lutheran pastor.

He served congregations in
Texas and Michigan,
and also served in Willmar & Starbuck, MN.

The church he served in Starbuck
is now affiliated with the AFLC
While working as a field representative
for Bethesda Homes in Willlmar, MN
in 1938...Ole died.

Ole was alone in his car
No other car was involved in the accident,
Officially, he died as the result of a car accident,
but the speculation was that he had a heart attack
which caused the accident and his
subsequent death.
