Notes: This recipe is from my Great Great Grandmother
Amanda Louise Arneson Fossum Wallquist.
Her parents Arne and Julia Ankerson Arneson and her Grandparents Lars and Ragnhild Arneson, were among the 26 wagon train frontier families that arrived from Allamakee County, Iowa in the spring of 1868, to Canton, Dakota Territory. She raised her nine children on the Fossum Homestead near Grand Valley Lutheran Church, southeast of Canton. In the spring, March,1893, the Grand Valley Lutheran Ladies Aid Society met in the front parlour at the Fossum Homestead and organized their group. Amanda Louise Forssum, Mrs. Even (Edwin) Fossum was elected their first secretary/treasure. A year later, in July,1894 this group of pioneer women and their husbands organized and founded the Grand Valley Lutheran Church.
