In 1876 the telegraph was installed in the station, G. P. Haslerud as agent. This year fifteen acres were platted and Prospect, Park, Mill, Centennial, Fillmore and Church and Murtel avenue were named.

[...]

G. P. Haslerud was agent at this station from 1874 until 1903. He resigned rather than pay exorbitant premiums demanded by suretie companies which bonded employes of the express company. He is now manager of the Peterson Hardware Company.

WELL-KNOWN PIONEER PASSES AWAY

George Peterson Haslerud, the first native born citizen of Peterson, passed away from this life April 14, 1923. He was born in Peterson, Minn., November 10, 1853. He lived with his parents and attended the local schools until 1871, when he matriculated at the State University, where he spent one year. Returning to Peterson in 1872, he worked on a farm for one year, after which he spent three years as clerk in Mr. Holgerson's store.

On May 3, 1876 he was married to Miss Julia Marie Wethe, who for nearly forty-seven years proved herself a faithful and capable wife and companion. That same year Mr. Haslerud became the local station agent, a position which he held for thirty years. Prior to that time he had become telegraph operator.

In 1895 Mr. Haslerud, together with his brother-in-law, Mr. Ole A. Wethe, established the Peterson Hardware Co., of which he later became sole owner.

Pastors were few and far between in pioneer days, and Mr. Haslerud was old enough, befor[e] being baptized by Rev. U. W. Koren, to remember the ceremony very vividly. He was confirmed by Rev. Arne Boyum.

To Mr. and Mrs. Haslerud were born five children - all boys. Two of them died in early childhood. The three who survive their father are, Peter, John and Albert all of Peterson. Mrs. Julia Mundahl had her home with the family from the time she was about two years old and was to them also as one of their own. The deceased is also survived by his wife; five grandchildren; one brother, Mr. A. P. Haslerud and Mrs. Elmer Halvorson.

The departed one was in poor health for seven or eight years, but was on his feet most of the time until about two months before he died. He was a quiet man. I knew him only for three years, but found him very much interested in his soul's salvation. He always welcomed those who would talk to him about Jesus, pray or sing with him. Towards the last it was difficult for him to make himself understood, but he prayed much and told me several times that he was longing to go to his Savior. The salvation of those near and dear to him was always a burden on his heart.

The funeral took place Wednesday, April 18, at one o'clock from the house and at one thirty from the church where he had worshipped so many years. A. J. Agrimson led in prayer; speeches were given by Rev. Bakke in English and by Rev. Hanson in Norwegian. A quartette, composed of Mrs. A. O. Boyum, Miss A. Muriel Boyum, Orel Boyum and Carl Johnson, rendered two songs very beautifully; and Mrs. O. S. Petrum and Mrs. J. P. Quickstad sang a duet in a touching way. Miss Annette Hanson presided at the organ. The church was beautifully decorated, the floral offereings were profuse, and the church was filled with people who thus wished to pay their respects both to the dead and living.

The Pall bearers were: A. J. Agrimson, I. S. Boyum, Lars Olness, Ole I. Tollefson, Ole E. Tew and Hover Anderson. The interment took place in the cemetery belonging to the Peterson congregation.

George married Julia Maria Johansdatter WETHE, daughter of Johan Gunderson WETHE and Maren Christine Olsdatter HOGARDEN, on 3 May 1876 in Arendahl, Fillmore County, MN.^{1 2} (Julia Maria Johansdatter WETHE was born on 29 Nov 1854 in Eidsberg, Østføld, Norway ^{6 7}, baptized on 25 Dec 1854 in Eidsberg, Østføld, Norway ⁷ and died on 27 Jun 1942 in Peterson, Fillmore County, MN ⁸.) The cause of her death was Hypostatic Pneumonia (1 wk).
