Norwegian Pioneer Association of America]]> Steensland, Halle]]>
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.]]>
