BERDAHL was born in Norway, December 12, 1852, and when about four years old was brought by his parents to the United States, from which time until 1860 he lived at the family home in Winneshiek county, Iowa. In the latter year he was taken to Houston county, Minnesota, thence six years later to Fillmore county, that state, where he remained until 1873, the meantime receiving his education in the common schools and his more practical training as an assistant on his father's farm. Leaving the parental roof in 1873, he came to South Dakota and the following year took up a homestead in Edison township, Minnehaha county, which he at once proceeded to improve and reduce to cultivation, and upon which he continued to reside until the fall of 1887, when he rented his farm and, returning to Minnesota, engaged in the mercantile business at the town of Pipestone One year later Mr. Berdahl moved his stock to Jasper, in the same state, where he conducted a successful trade until the spring of 1890, at which time he returned to his Dakota farm and during the ensuing two years devoted his attention to agriculture and stock raising. Renting his land at the expiration of the time noted, he established a general mercantile business in Garretson, where he has since lived and prospered, building up a large and lucrative trade the meanwhile and taking distinctive precedence among the leading merchants of the city. Mr. Berdahl's domestic experience dates from 1878, on March 10th of which year he entered the marriage relation with Miss Caroline Christianson, a native of Fillmore county, Minnesota, where her parents, both born in Norway, settled in an early day. To Mr. and Mrs. Berdahl five children have been born, one of whom, a daughter by the name of Christiana, died at the early age of four years; those living are Christian, Alfred, Clara and Elmer, who with their parents constitute a family of eminent respectability and high social standing. Mr. Berdahl at different times has been called upon to assume responsible official status, having served as treasurer of Edison township, being the second man elected to the office in that jurisdiction, and he has also been identified for a number of years with the educational interests of Garretson, being at this time president of the city school board, besides holding the position of alderman. In the conduct of his business affairs Mr. Berdahl is prompt and methodical, not given to speculation, being satisfied with gradual advancement and sure gains. As a citizen he is enterprising to the extent of encouraging every laudable movement for the general good, and his deep and abiding interest in the social, educational and moral welfare of the community has resulted in substantial advancement along these various lines
