Peder Abrahamson came from Norway at the age of 19. He came to Sioux City, Iowa where he worked for the railroad. In 1891, he married Julia Christenson. They bought their farm two miles north and one and three-fourths miles east of Spink. He was a handyman and carpenter so he built their house and farm buildings. He also dug trenches by hand for running water to their house, barn and hog house. The Abrahamsons were the first in the neighborhood to have electricity by installing a Cushman plant. Peder died in 1930. Julia continued to live on the farm until 1945 when she moved to Beresford. 6 # Note: Peder and his brother Sever married sisters, Julia and Anna. Peder was 30 and Julia was 19 at the time of their marriage. They raised 16 children, 8 girls and 8 boys. A seventeenth child died in infancy. The family all worked hard on the farm. When Peder and his sons went to cultivate, they were like a parade; each boy with his team and cultivator moving out of the barnyard, one after another.
