Memorial Service: St. Ansgar Lutheran Church, Toronto, Ontario. July 8, 1991.
Minister: Rev. Glen Nelson. Buried in Sanctuary Park Cemetery, 1570 Royal York Road, Lot 86, Section CC, Range 9.
David was baptized at home, 2433 Finch Avenue West, by Rev. Albin J. Stanfel. David's grandfather, Richard Pedersen was the sponsor.


The following is the Eulogy that his sister Rebecca read at David's funeral.

My brother, David. He's dead. What can I say about him? His life was not an
easy one and he caused our family a lot of worry and grief. He never seemed
to be able to be successful at anything. And yet... he tried. I know he
wanted to turn his life around. He went back to school and we rejoiced at his
good marks in English, commiserated with him over his difficulty with math.
He was happy to finally move into a nice new apartment, the best he ever had.
He wrote to our sister, possibly to make amends for childhood wrongs, possibly
to keep contact with his new nephew. He was always kind to animals, and loved
and cared for Simon, his parrot, for many years. He told me of sharing his
last dollar, or his only food, with people less fortunate than himself. He
was dependent on our parents for money, yet gave to those even poorer, those
with no family. I probably got along with him better than anyone, and I am
very sad. But I also feel guilty. When he asked me for help with a new
scheme, I was too busy. I did not take him seriously. I know David himself
must share the blame for this, but now I wish I had done more. I also wish I
could keep the promise I made to him to care for Simon if something happened
to him. I promised this to make David feel better - I only hope he
understands why I cannot. David, wherever you are, I hope you are at peace at
last, and I kope you know that I loved you. We all loved you, in spite of our
difficulties, as best we could. You will always have a place in our hearts
and in our thoughts.

The following was recorded by Ralph Pedersen in January 1982 in
conversation with his father.
"From age 7-14 attended school in Denmark. 11-12 years old worked for
a tinsmith, 12 years old worked in a bakery. In both of these jobs the
money he brought home was handed over to his father. Age 13-15 worked in a
sawmill cutting fir and oak for a furniture making business. He went to
school in the morning and worked in the mill in the afternoons until 6pm.
From January 1917 to January 1921, age 15 to 19, he was an apprentice in a
machine shop. The first year was spent wielding a 10 pound hammer for 10
hours a day, 6 days a week. He got 75› per week for 60 hours work. The
blacksmith would pull the hot iron out of the forge and Richard would hit
it. "I came home so tired I couldn't do anything else but I would still
have to go out and weed in the garden. I had no thought of quitting
because I didn't like the work. We just went through with it." The second
year he was sent out to paint machinery. The third year was spent working
and learning on the lathe. The fourth year he assembled machinery
including erecting large windmills mostly for farmers. His pay was $4 per
week. In 1921 he got work in Silkeborg in a machine shop and worked there
until he came to Camrose. The work was fixing gas meters and lathe work."
"In 1928 I came to Camrose on June 1st. I had $50. From June 1st to
September 30th I worked on a farm. The first farmer paid me $1 a day plus
food and a bed in a granary. I worked there 2 months. Then in harvest I
worked for a farmer getting paid $4 a day shocking (14 days) and $5 a day
threshing (19 days). In October 1928 I got work as a mechanic at the Ford
garage (McAfee Motors). I was paid $20 per week. I was there from 1928 to
1931. The last 2 years I was the shop foreman and made $30 per week. The
hours were 8am to 6pm but I often worked longer with no extra pay. I had
made up my mind that if I could save up enough money to send for Anna in
that first year, then I would stay. I not only saved enough to send for
her but I bought a piece of land for $40, paid $125 for a small house, dug
a hole for a cellar and put a foundation 12 ft. x 20 ft. under the house.
From 1931 to 1934 I leased a machine shop. The contract was that 25 cents out
of ever dollar went to Dahl from whom I had leased the machine shop. I had
one man working for me. I did the work on the Ford cars, the other man did
the machine shop work. I had the reputation that if a part of any machine
was broken I could fix it or make a new one. Those were tough years. I
worked long hours, often far into the night in order to make it go. When
Dahl's son-in-law came back and took over I went into partnership with
Grenway. From 1934 to 1938 I was in a partnership - 'Grenway & Pedersen
Chrysler Dealer' with a garage and machine shop. Grenway went to war and I
didn't have enough money to buy him out so I rented a building and started
my own business in 1938 - a garage and machine shop. In 1939 I built a new
garage. In 1940 I got the Nash dealership but only got one car. In 1949
or 50 I got one Nash; in 1951 I started getting more cars. In 1952 I built
a new garage. Those were some tight times economically as people didn't pay their
accounts." (In 1955 Dad showed me where the accounts were carrying $11,000 - $12,000.)
"In 1954 I built a new machine shop half a block away from the garage. In 1955 I got the
Volkswagen franchise. In 1966 I sold the garage and in 1975 sold the machine shop."
"We moved to our present house in 1937. In Denmark I moved 14 times in 14 years and
when I was a little older I said to myself, 'when I get married I will own my own home, not
rent, and stay there.' When we moved so often we got behind in school. I bought the house
at 5211 - 48 A Avenue for $1000. I had $400 and borrowed $600 from the Royal Bank of
Canada. I had 12 month to pay it back. Before 6 month I had paid it all. I've been
satisfied in Camrose. I haven't regretted it for one day. It helps to have had a good wife."
"My mother said when I was 7 - 8 years old, 'I like the babies till they get up to 2 years
and then I don't care much for them'." (Dad overheard this when his mother was talking to
some other woman.) "My mother was a kind woman." (Anna - "Dad's dad was a
somewhat harsh man, too strict.") (Richard) "My father never had any patience. When I
was 8 I had a small instrument. He was going to teach me. He was trying to tell me
something and I was looking out the window at the boys playing. He said, 'You are not
interested in that so you might as well to out and play'. That was the end of the instrument."
"If a pastor came into our home we showed great respect. When I would go home after
being gone, say a month, there was not even a hand shake. I can't say we took around
(hugged) our parents at anytime and visa versa. It was a lot harder to explain how you feel.
We kept it in our selves."

The following story was told by Dad during a visit to Camrose (by Harold) in about
1986. Dad, at that time had some difficulty speaking. In talking with Dad, he said he reads
but forgets what was read. He found talking to people difficult, as he can 'see' what he
wants to say, but cannot find the word. He can't write in English (any longer) as he finds
English difficult, but has not the Danish vocabulary. Given time and patience, he could
make his story understood, however.
Dad took his apprenticeship with a machinist in Bjerringbro. After a couple of years,
about half way through his apprenticeship he was laid off due to no work in the area. His
father on learning this responded with, "well, you can always go work on the farm". Dad
would have nothing to do with that and bicycled 12 miles to Silkeborg where he applied for a
job as machinist with a machine company there. He was hired, and found out subsequently
from one of his two co-workers that because he had been wearing a lapel pin of a Christian
organization, the owner had hired him. The owner was also a Christian. Dad was made the
head machinist in the firm. As well, the owner had a brother who had a machinery business,
and when there was too little business at one firm, Dad would be sent to the other to do work
there. Dad found the owner a fine man to work for and worked there until he went to
Canada.

The day couch in Dad's study was in their first house in 1929 serving as couch by day
and bed by night. The dining room furniture was bought shortly after marriage.

Trips home to Denmark -
Mother only: 1934 (with Eric and Ruth),
Dad only: 1951, 1962, 1968,



Both: 1946 (with Harold), 1965, 1971 (with Ruth), 1974, 1978, 1983.


The following is an account by Paul of the day that father died:

When I came home to Camrose, Dad was unconscious. Since he had been unable to speak
for a couple of years, it was difficult to know if he understood what we said to him. For the
past while he had refused to eat and it was clear that he would die soon. Ruth and Ralph
were already there. The three of us were going together to the hospital to sit with dad.
Mother did not come that day but she asked me to read to dad from the Bible and pray with
him. After we had been sitting around dad's bed for a while, I told the others of mom's
request, took Dad's Bible and read the opening verses of the twenty-first chapter of
Revelation "...he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and
crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away..." After the reading
we all prayed the Lord's Prayer together. Then my sister started to sing the hymn "Children
of the Heavenly Father Safely in his bosom gather". While we were singing, father stopped
breathing. Tears streaming down, we sang all four verses, finishing "Though he giveth or he
taketh, God his children ne'er forsaketh; His the loving purpose solely To preserve them pure
and holy." Father's death brought to remembrance the words of Horatio's farewell to the
dying Hamlet, "and flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest." And so they did as we, his
children, wept.

EMPRESS OF BRITAIN / MONTROYAL 1906
The EMPRESS OF BRITAIN was built for the Canadian Pacific Line by Fairfield Shipbuilding, Glasgow in 1906. She was a 14,189 gross ton vessel, length 548.8ft x beam 65.7ft, two funnels, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 18 knots. There was accommodation for 310-1st, 470-2nd and 750-3rd class passengers. Launched on 11/11/1905 she sailed from Liverpool on her maiden voyage to Quebec on 5/5/1906. Both the EMPRESS OF BRITAIN and her sister ship, the ill-fated EMPRESS OF IRELAND were the fastest ships on the Canada service at the time. On 22/7/1912, she rammed and sank the SS HELVETIA in fog off Cape Magdeleine in the lower St Lawrence River. In 1914 she was converted to an Armed Merchant Cruiser and joined Admiral Stoddart's squadron in the SouthAtlantic. She later patrolled between Cape Finisterre and the Cape Verde Islands. In May 1915 she was recommisioned as a troop transport and carried more than 110,000 troops to the Dardanelles, Egypt and India as well as Canadian and US expeditionary forces across the NorthAtlantic. On 12/12/1915 while passing through the Straits of Gibraltar, she collided with and sank a Greek steamer. In March 1919 she resumed the Liverpool - St.John NB service for one round voyage and was then converted from coal to oil fuel and her passenger accommodation was modernised. On 1/9/1920 she returned to the Liverpool - Quebec service and in Oct.1922 commenced running between Southampton - Cherbourg - Quebec. In 1924 she was renamed MONTROYAL and her accommodation altered to carry 600-cabin and 800-3rd class passengers, returning to the Liverpool - Quebec service on 19/4/1924. In 1926 her accommodation was again altered to carry cabin, tourist and 3rd class and she made eight trips a year through 1926 and the following year was transferred to the Antwerp - Southampton - Cherbourg - Quebec route. She commenced her final voyage from Antwerp on 7/9/1929 and was then laid up after making a total of 190 round voyages on the North Atlantic. On 17/6/1930 she was sold to the Stavanger Shipbreaking Co. and was scrapped. The owner of the Sola Strand Hotel bought the lounge from the shipbreakers and incorporated it into his hotel as the Montroyal Ballroom. The beautiful woodwork is still a feature of this building which now houses the Norwegian School for Hotel Management.

(The following was recorded by Ralph Pedersen in January 1982 in
conversation with his mother.)
"At 9 years old I weeded in the forest nursery. The schedule was 7am
to 6pm with breaks 9:00-9:30, 12:00-1:30, and 3:00-3:30. I was paid 1
crown, 60 ore per day - about 35›. The money had to be used for clothes,
shoes, and books. At fair time I got a few pennies to buy a banana,
orange, or honey cake. I was kept home from school in the spring to do the
weeding.
My father was a good philosopher. He said 'If what you want to do,
you can't do going out the door seen by everyone, you'd better not do it.'
My parents were not confessing Christians. When I left home and then later
came home, there was never a hug. There was not much touching. I knew I
was welcome at home. They didn't need to tell me 'I love you', it was not
anything that needed to be said. Sometimes my mother scolded us too much,
but we all have our faults. Children were supposed to obey. I was
confirmed at 14 and was supposed to be somewhat grown up. My father came
home from work in the winter and read stories to us children, stories of
Danish historical and mythical figures, Robinson Crusoe. We had very few
books in the house - maybe 6 to 8 books. From age 10 to 14 I borrowed many
books from the school library to read. I never heard my father or mother
say 'I love you'. I heard him say 'little mother' which meant 'I love
you'. When I was 15 or 16, between Christmas and New Year I walked home 16
miles from where I was working. I was soaking wet and no one was home.
That was too much. I cried. From age 14 or 15 I was treated as a grown up
and expected to be. From 14 to 22 I was a hired girl in peoples homes.
From 23 to 26 I worked in a department store in Silkeborg in the
Dressmaking department cutting out dresses for others to sew. At age 26 I
came to Camrose.
In 1929 it took me 5 days to go from Halifax to Edmonton by train. It
cost $125 for the trip from Denmark to Camrose. On the train we slept on
wooden benches. Crossing the Atlantic took 10 to 11 days. I was on a
Danish boat, "Frederick VIII" of the Scandinavian American Line. I came to
Camrose on Friday. The next Sunday afternoon on April 28th I was married
in Camrose Lutheran Church (the church was built in 1928). There were no
bridesmaids, no groomsmen. A Danish pastor from Edmonton who came once a
month officiated. This was the first time I had seen a white dress and
veil for years as it was only for special occasions. Dad was supposed to
have a day or two off. Monday morning they came to get Dad to work. I
protested because he said he had a couple of days off. He went to work.
This was the first time I got mad at him. Dad had said we would not get
married until he had a 3 room suite - that meant 3 rooms and a kitchen. He
had forgotten about that. The house was 10' x 20' - 2 rooms. The
furniture was 2 chairs and a Winnipeg couch (still in Dad's study). $30
bought the round oak table with 4 chairs. Two wicker pieces, one a rocker,
were wedding gifts. My family from Denmark gave money with which we bought
the dining room set. I wasn't particularly homesick. I got into a group
of friendly Norwegians that accepted 'this Danish girl'. In the fall of
1936 I had my appendix out. The doctor sent me home and said no work for 3
months. We had a girl, Lydia, who stayed with us that winter. I went to
Bible School that winter after Christmas in 1937. I couldn't read the
English Bible but in Bible School I learned a lot of English. In learning
English, when I heard a sermon I listened to how they pronounced the
English words. In the early 40's we stopped speaking Danish at home. We
needed help and had a German girl who didn't know Danish. Eric and Ruth
could read some Danish in their Bibles and when I asked 'can you
understand?' they couldn't really. I felt that wasn't right, so we
switched to English.
When we visited Olson's in Lloydminster, some slept in the granary.
In 1934 I went back to Denmark. There was a raging storm across the
whole Atlantic. Everyone was sick. I couldn't go up on deck for days.


Anna wrote the following in later years - probably 1982.

"I came to Canada from Denmark in April 1929 to be married to my fiance who had emmigrated to this country the year before. We were married April 28, two days after I landed in Camrose. I knew no one except the man I was to marry, so I hung unto him. We settled in Camrose and have lived there since, so we are old timers. In the fall of 36 I had surgery, we had 3 small cheldren, the Doc. knew that, so he said: "No work for you for some months. We got a girl to keep hous and children and what would I do? Then I thought, go to Bibleschool, it had started in 32. That was lots of fun. I could understan english to some extent, but could neigher read or write it. No school for emmigrants at that time. The dean Pastor G.M. Trygstad said you read your enlish bible, it does not matter that you do not understand it, that comes afterward, and it worked. The worst was taking notes, when I came home from School and tried to do homework, I could not read my own notes. But I got started to read english at C.L.B.I. and have done ever since and enjoy it. I received much blessing attending bible shool in spit of all, have been sold on bibleschool ever since. five of our children have gone to bibleschool, 3 of them graduated. Last winter a Grandson attended C.L.B.I. I recommend to anyone take a year at bibleschool, just to study Gods Word, you will never regret it. Yes and I received a special blessing. Rev. Trystad spoke to us about tithing, I have practiced it ever since and can tell you that you get much more sensible with money when you tithe; 90 cent go farter that a dol. when you follow Gods way. Try it out, there is no prescription for it. My Husband took some bibleschool too later in the 30ties. We still go to Bibleschool, we live one block from the school, if you like some help to grow in Grace, take a turn at C.L.B.I. Students are welcomme between 15 and 90 so you can be there too. May we all be good witnesses for Jesus. (signed) Mrs. Richard Pedersen.

For several years, they resided in Edmonton, where Bert was a contractor, until 1946. Bert and Mar moved to Armena, then, and settled on the Abel Lyseng farm.

The Edmonton Aero Club would take people up for short flights, charging them by the pound. This is how Bert met Marcelle. He was weighing the customers one day when Marcelle came to take a flight.

The following poem found in Marcelle's belongings after her death (together with Bert's funeral bulletin):

To My Husband

I walk alone
& think of days gone by
When we were young.
A hand to hold
A shoulder strong to lean on
And dreams to dream.
Now he is gone
And I am all alone
I miss him so.
_________Mar.

an airplane & flew it once; reading, and helping people. He was a building
contractor in Edmonton. Built several houses on his own including my Dad and

Eulogy for Marcelle Stollery

Faithfully, every week for forty years a letter came in
through the mailbox. It was from our Mom. Never a loner, she
liked having a large family, she enjoyed being with her children,
her brother, her relatives and her friends. When those she loved
were far away, she always kept in touch. Week after week her
round legible script told of her doings day by day. Her letters
were cheerful and upbeat and made the day seem like a bit of
sunshine.

Always having too much to do and too little time when we
were young, she used to say, "I wish I were quints." Doing five
things at once was probably a bit much to ask, but I remember
feeling rather neglected when she was stirring something on the
stove and taking a rare chance to read at the same time. Her
response to my requests at those times was usually an
acknowledgement that she had heard me speak but that she was
engrossed in her book.

At a family gathering in October when Mom was with us in
Toronto I was bathing my little grandson who at 6 jumped out of
the tub. Then it was Mom's turn and she who had once bathed and
carried me had to be helped in and lifted out and I felt the
fragileness of a life that had once been so vigourous, one that
had given such strength to us her children. But we are so happy
for that life. It was a giving life, a cheerful life and
sometimes a stubborn one, but it was well lived.


TO MOM

Your spring was but a puff of gentle air,
a smell of roses just in bloom.
I wasn't there to share in its sweet breath.
Your summer in its fullness moulded me and gave me life,
your sun and wind they carved me, deep inside.
I felt your autumn kindle fire, my mould attuned to yours
and understanding startled me.
Now the winter snows engulf us both,
you are gone and I am left bereft.
The rose is faded, the petals dropped,
but in my thoughts the flower sleeps without her pain.



With love from Jean and 494

Fra Silkeborg Avis, November 8, 1960.

DØDSFALD
Fhv. sekretær i Kristelig dansk Fællesforbund, Oluf Pedersen, Bjerringbro, har haft den sorg at miste sin hustru, fru Johanne Pedersen, der er dod i en alder af 82 aar.
Fru Pedersen var fodt i Ryde ved Vinderup, hvor faderen var præstegaardsforpagter. Efter konfirmationen havde hun forskellige pladser i Hjerm og kom derefter til at tjene hos dyrlæge Breinegaard, Ans. Her traf hun sin mand, der arbejdede som karetmager i byen, og i 1901 blev de gift. De fik deres første hjem i Gullev, og efter et kort ophold paa Sjælland kom de til Bjerringbro, hvor de har boet i godt et halvt hundrede aar. Fru Pedersen var en begavet kvinde, meget interesseret og
meget arbejdsom. Hendes mand var meget borte fra jhemmet, og hun klarede ikke blot husførelsen og opdragelsen af de 5 børn, men fik ogsaa tid til at holde deres store have i mønstergyldig orden. Hun og hendes mand hørte til Indre Mission, og her tog
hun levende del i alle grene af arbejdet. Det smukke hjem stod altid gæstfrit aabent for den store venne- og bekendtskabskreds.
Ved sin beskedne og retlinede færd fik hun mange venner, der vil mindes hende med tak. Hun efterlader mand og 5 børn, der alle er i gode stillinger. En datter, Ester Pedersen har i mange aar arbejdet ved Østerlandsmissionen i Syrien paa Missionens hospital i Nebk.
