    Notes 
    • According to the 1900 census, she had borne 7 children, 3 still living. She came to this country in 1881. The family was living in Pine Creek Township, Morrison County, at the time of the 1900 census.

      In the 1910 census, only Hugo is still living at home with her in Little Falls. In that census she is shown as having had only 3 children, all 3 still living. Her name in the census is Sophia Peterson. She has no occupation.

      Her property was foreclosed upon in 1914. It’s probable that that had some bearing on she and her children moving to Canada.

      A family history of Hugo Peterson incorrectly assigns a fourth child to Aleck and Sophie, a so-called Anna Peterson, born and died in Minneapolis and married to a “Mr. Likevold.” It appears that the author of the family history confused Olga with this non-existent sister.

      She is not the “Mrs. Sophia Peterson” who died in Morrison County in 1939. That was a younger woman, the widow of a Gust Peterson.

      She may have died in Canada.

      A brief mention in the 10 Dec 1920 edition of the Little Falls Herald:

      Mrs. S Liekvall and children and Mrs. Liekvall’s mother, Mrs. Sophia Peterson, are here to spend the winter and living on Eighth street northwest. They came here from Nokomis, Canada.
