Prized Prints
Editor's Note: Jeff Sauve's December 2012
" Looking Back " column has generated a
great amount of interest among members.
Here are a few of the dozen or more letters
we received from all over the United States.
I
just read the article by Jeff Sauve
about the print from Decorah, Iowa.
You can add another known print to
your list. I found the
print in my grandparents'
attic. A few years ago I
had it framed in archivalquality
materials.
Thank you so much
for writing the article.
I now know what
a treasure I have. It will
become part of our family
heritage for my grandchildren.
When I was young
I tried to save things I
found from from grandparents
and great-grandparents. I have
either a receipt or subscription form for
Decorah Posten.
Diane Hesseltvan Dinter
Shiocton, WI
ow! I think Leif Erikson Lodge
2-001 has one of those Our
Father prints shown in the December
issue of Viking. It wasn't listed in an
inventory from 1912, so I'm not sure
if it was from 1885, although we did
have a member who owned the Western
Viking which bought Decorah Posten
W
many years ago. This print was in
storage for a long time though. Ours is
framed and in pretty good condition.
Christine Anderson
Seattle, WA
I
so enjoyed the article about the
" Prized Print " of the Lord's Prayer
and the Ten Commandments in the
December issue of Viking, plus the letter
in the January issue from a woman
who had a familiar poster.
I'm sending a picture of
Herrens Bön (© 1907
CHR Solberg, Chicago).
It was a wedding present
to my grandparents
in 1907 from the man
who paid my 18-year-old
grandmother's passage to
America as an indentured
servant in 1903. She emigrated
from Sortland in
northern Norway, which I
was able to visit in 1998.
My grandparents homesteaded in Oslo
Township, Mountrail Co., N.D.
We enjoy Viking so much. It's a
window to our past!

Grand Forks, N.D.
