Becoming interested in optometry, he attended the Northern College of Optometry, Chicago, 111., graduating with an O.D. degree, in 1908. On September 15, 1913, he was married to Ragnhild Gunderson. She was born January 1, 1883, at Pelican Rapids, Minn., and prior to her marriage was teaching in the public school in Kindred. The couple settled in Towner, N.
