2. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Arthur and Aagotte Skeldum From: "Don Skeldum" Date: Thu, October 16, 2014 4:49 pm To: I just stumbled across your family website and, if I may, add a little info.  Arthur Skeldum was the youngest of three boys (and more than a few sisters, older and probably younger)  I don’t have his exact birth date but my grandfather Andrew, the middle son was born in 1884.     Arthurs parents were Lars J Skeldum, Luster, Norway  (1850-1913), and Martha Erickson (1851-1934).  I believe they met in Fillmore County MN. They Homesteaded a 160 acre land grant just west of Orland township west of Madison SD in 1884..
