• Notes: connection to George Peter Haslerud, Bef 1910. He lived with G.P. Haslerud for several years until his death. When he died his heirs in Norway wanted an accounting of where his money went and ect. I have several letters pertaining to this in the Haslerud files in the [Peterson] museum. He was not a relative.
