John Dalle, an estimable farmer of Section 4, Oak Grove Township, has taken
his share in the development of the township, and he and his good wife have
raised an excellent family of sturdy children. He was born in Norway, May
7, 1862, and there received his education and was reared to farm pursuits.
He came to America in 1885, and took up farming in Dane County, Wisconsin.
>From there, in 1902, he came to Barron County and secured his present farm
of forty acres. He erected a good set of buildings, cleared the entire
tract, and has developed an excellent farm. For several years after he came
here, he worked in the woods winters and on the ranch in Washburn County,
this state, summers, thus securing a livelihood while he was improving his
farm. He has been successful in his undertakings, and is conducting general
farming and dairying on a profitable basis. Mr. Dalle was married Oct. 18,
1888, to Anna Gullickson, who was born in Norway, Feb. 25, 1865, daughter
of Gulie and Gunda (Halverson) Olson, both of whom are now deceased. Mrs.
Dalle, who was a devoted wife and mother, and a good neighbor, died April
5, 1920, and her memory will long be mourned. She gave her years to her
husband, her children, and her friends, she took great pride in her home
and her family and she was a most worthy woman in every respect. Mr. and
Mrs. Dalle had nine children: Gilma, born Jan. 25, 1891, wife of George
