HAROLD PETERSON, Angle Inlet, MN, passed away on January 13, 2019 in Larimore, ND at the age of 95.  He was born November 27, 1923 at Ross, MN to Harold and Anna (Solem) Peterson. He spent his early years farming in Ross, and served in the US Army during WWII. After returning home he moved to the Northwest Angle to log. While there he met and married Irene Carlson Engdahl on October 5, 1957. They founded Peterson’s Camp where they entertained many fishermen and deer hunters and raised five children. Harold retired from the resort business in the early ‘80s, but continued to work in various logging and heavy equipment operation jobs. He also worked for Tower Systems, Inc. for several years during which time he traveled to Africa and many areas of the United States. In his later years, he enjoyed living at the Northwest Angle and doing odd jobs for people in the community. He made many memories with his kids, grandkids, great grandkids, as well as many nieces and nephews.

He is survived by his daughter-in-law, Joan Peterson, sons Roger Peterson and Kirk (Coleen) Peterson, and daughter Vicki (Tom) Berner, several grandchildren, and sister Ethel Wellen.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Irene, sons Doug and Brian, daughter-in-law Janine, granddaughter Laura, his parents, two brothers, and six sisters.
