Read More	Peder Henrik Knutson was born a Kopfervik, near Haugesund, Norway, on March 17, 1847. His death, resulting from gangrene from which he suffered for many weeks, occurred Sunday afternoon, October 18, 1931, at 3:15 o'clock, being 84 years, 7 months and one day old. Like so many of his fellow countrymen, Mr. Knutson decided to immigrate to America. Thus he bade his native land, Norway, Goodby in 1878 and arrived at Elliot, Ill., a few weeks later in that year. He remained in Illinois for six years; then he moved westward, coming to Emmet County in 1884. On September 18, that same year, he married Miss Catherine Worra whom he had known from his youth while he lived in the old country. They were married on a farm seven miles northeast of Estherville, where they lived for several years. Later Mr. and Mrs. Knutson bought a farm one-half mile east of Tuttle Lake. On this second place, they lived until 1900, when they moved to the farm on which they have resided the last 31 years.' This union was blessed with six sons, namely Martin, who passed away in 1921; Ole of Dolliver; Kenneth of Des Moines; Barney of Minneapolis; Silas on the home place and William of Chicago. Besides being survived by Mrs. Knutson and the five sons, Mr. Knutson is also survived by seven grandchildren. Mr. Knutson was one of the charter members of the Palestine congregation. Rev. Wigdahl, of Ruthven, was instrumental in organizing the congregation about 40 years ago. Mr. Knutson has always been interested in church work. Thus he would often be seen with his family driving in an open lumber wagon the many miles from the east of Tuttle Lake to the Sunde school house – distance of many miles – and would often be the first ones to arrive. But he began to realize that mere church going, creditable as it is with men, does not suffice with God, nor does it give real joy or satisfaction to the soul. Therefore, while living on the farm east of Tuttle Lake, he experienced what it was "to be born again." He had often testified to God's saving power in his home congregation as well as in so many other churches in the neighboring communities.
