Hi I found Carl E Peterson occupation preacher, born in Norway, in the 1920 census. I cannot read his wife's name, maybe Emma, born in Minnesota.
They have 10 children. Arthur age 19, Ester 21, Ruth 18, E?? daughter 16, Malcom 14, Jerome 12, Evelyn 10, Mildred 8, Kenneth 6, and Donald 2
I'm not related but hope filling in a few of the names will help.
Carla
