Rose, Member of the Minnesota Historical Society Publisher: Northern History Publishing Company, Luverne, MN 1911 P. 588, The date in parens is when he came to the county. HENRY SAVOLD (1888) is a Rock county boy and the son of two well known and long established residents of Martin Township, Halvor Savold and Mary (Thompson) Savold. The former parent is a native of Winneshiek county, Iowa, who came to Rock county in the late seventies and bought two quarter sections of Martin township’s fertile soil. For a time Halvor Savold taught school in that precinct. He was married to Mary Thompson, a native Norwegian, and their home has always been on section 18. Seven children have been born to this esteemed couple, who, besides our subject, are Minnie (Mrs. Ramer Jorgenson), Elmer, Sam, Ella and Roy. Henry was born on the Martin township home farm November 23, 1999. He attended the district school and later completed a course in the Sioux Falls Business college and also studied telegraphy in Minneapolis. Mr. Savold entered the employ of Carl Omodt, the Hills butcher, from whom he learned that trade, and in 1910 he succeeded to the busi! ness of his employer. The subject of this review was married at Sioux Falls July 19, 1909, to Mabel Conner, of Garretson, South Dakota, whose birth occurred in Des Moines, Iowa, March 18, 1889. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Savold, one a daughter named Marjorie, and a baby girl named Hazel. Henry Savold is the assistant chief of the Hills fire department. P. 556. HAVOR SAVOLD (1880) who is the possessor of a half section of Martin township’s productive soil, is a son of Samuel O. and Annie (Hagelie) Savold, natives of Norway. The father came to America in 1847 and first settled near Chicago, moving later to Jefferson Prairie, Wisconsin, and then to Winneshiek county, Iowa. The mother came to America in 1850 and settled in Winneshiek county, Iowa. They were married in 1852. It was in the latter location that the subject of this reiew was born in July 1, 1865. There he grew up on his father’s farm. He attended the district schools, following his elementary education with a three years’ course in Upper Iowa university at Fayette. In 1880 Mr. Savold commenced his residence in Rock county and it has been a continuous one since that date. For several years he taught school during the winters and did farm work in the summers. Deciding on farming as his life vocation, in 1882 he purchased the southwest quarte! r of section 18, Martin township, and that has been his home since. He has built up one of the finest improved farms in the township. He makes a specialty of breeding and raising Poland China and Chester White swine. In 1899 he came into possession of the southeast quarter of section 13, range 47. For several years he served on the township board and for three years was the clerk of school district No. 33. He is a member of the Norwegian Lutheran Synod church of Hills. Mr. Savold was married in Martin township on June 16, 1881, to Mary Tolefson, the daughter of Tollef and Maret Tolefson, both natives of Norway. The following seven children have been born to them: Sam T., born December 4, 1882; Minnie A., Born June 16, 1884; Elmer L., born June 12, 1886; Henry M., Born November 23, 1888; Tilda J., born May 3, 1891; Ella S., born April 23, 1895; and Roy H., Born July 15, 1898.
