SAMUEL HALLAND Primarily from the Compendium of Biography of Northern Minnesota: Samuel Halland, the senior member of the firm of Halland & Askgaard, proprietors of the popular department store at Comstock, Minnesota, was born in Christianna Stift, Norway, December 17, 1859, and is the fifth member of a family of nine children horn to Nils and Gunhild (Gjehen) Halland. In 1880 he came to this country and worked for a short time in lumbering in Chicago. For some two years he was employed in Minneapolis, and in the fall of 1882 made his appearance in Fargo, North Dakota, where he had secured a position with the Fargo Lumber Company, which he retained for four years. He was also employed for the same time by the Gall River Lumber Company. In 1890 he formed his present business relations and the firm was the first to open a business house in Comstock. Mr. Halland was in active charge of the enterprise, which has greatly prospered under his careful management. In January 1901, the store house was destroyed by fire, but very shortly the business was resumed in a new and handsome edifice, 44x90 feet, two stories high, with two stores in front. The upper part is occupied as an opera house. In the two stores is carried a stock of twenty thousand dollars, and the entire outfit is new, modern and thoroughly up-to-date. Mr. Halland belongs to the Norwegian Lutheran church and for six years past has been treasurer of the township. He is a self-made man and may well felicitate himself upon a very successful career. Mr. Halland was married in 1886 to Miss Annie Gilbertson, and to this union have come six children, Edwin, Hazel, Nellie, Clifford, Dagnes and Lillian. In 1929, Samuel died and is buried at Montana NILS HANSON
