    3. Translated from 'Nordmændene i Amerika' by Martin Ulvestad. 1907 Passaic County Norwegians are extremely few in this county. There is one however who has made himself known, Civil Engineer Anton L. Pettersen in Passaic City. He was elected a Member of the State Legislature in 1902. See the section 'Norwegians in public positions in America' In this county there is a post office with the name Moe, but who or where the man is, is not known. It must have been a Norwegian who came up with this name. But the Norwegians likely moved westward, as mentioned.
