My family came to the Fergus Falls area from Norway in the 1880’s.

We are one of the true pioneering families of Otter Tail County. Great-grandfather Martain lived south of town Aastad Township. There is a DNR wetland sign — “Land donated to the State of Minnesota,” on my grandparent’s homestead, Adolph and Thelma Erlandson.

Is this how you treat one of the members of a Otter Tail County pioneering family?
