From the 1900 census, it appears that Peter emigrated in 1879 and his wife and children followed in 1881. If so, he must have come back to Norway to get them because they all left Inderøy together in August of 1881.

In the 1885 state census, he and his family live in Fergus Falls.

In the 1888-1889 Duluth city directory, he is Peter Aune, butcher for K P Balstad, who “bds same West Duluth.” In the 1890-1891 Duluth city directory, there is an entry for Orfel & Co at 2101 W Superior for which the partners are Martin Orfel and Peter Aume.

In the 1891-1892 and 1892-1893 Duluth city directories, there is an entry for “Orfald and Aune meats”, a business at “rear 2101 W Superior”, for which the partners are shown as Martin Orfald and Peter Aune.

In the 1891-1892 city directory, he is still Peter L Aune of Orfald & Aune who resides at 2230 W Michigan.

The 2221 West Michigan address was probably a boarding house or residence hotel.

John Orfald, 38, cook, and Petter Aune, 62, butcher, both of 2224 West Superior Street in Duluth, went to Norway in the early 1900s. They arrived in New York on September 1, 1904, aboard the S.S.
