Norwegian Pioneer Association of America (Norske Pioneerforening). Sept. 16, 1896, with these officers: Oley Nelson of Slater, Iowa, president; Halle Steensland of Madison, Wis., treasurer; Rasmus B.

Later meetings were held at Decorah, Iowa, Oct. 4-5, 1899; Harmony, Minn., Oct, 11-12, 1903; Story City Iowa, Oct. 11-12, 1905; Minneapolis, Oct. 2-3, 1907; Stoughton, Wis., Sept. 23-24, 1909; Chicago, Nov. ? 1912 (clippings dated Nov. 5); Red Wing, Minn., Oct. 7-8, 1915.
One clipping (May 22, 1915) reports on the first annual banquet of the "Chicago-afdelingen." The only later clipping is one of June 19, 1927, reporting that the association had been dissolved by its officers: Birger Osland, president; Mr. Hjermstad, Red Wing, treasurer; and Knud Henderson, Cambridge, Wis., secretary. The reason given is death of many of the members, and other members going over to the bygdelag. The $85.50 in the treasury was divided between the NAHA ($50) and the Voss (Norway) children's home. Many of the newspaper accounts are quite extensive, especially that of the Story City meeting, which included five "efterslaet" articles through Nov. 26. -
