Bio

WALTER L. BRODAHL. Walter L. Brodahl is proprietor of a garage at Wahoo, where he established business in 1914. He was born March 9, 1888, in the county where he still makes his home but is of Swedish lineage. His father, Nels Brodahl, was born in Sweden and in early manhood came to the United States, after which he was married to Anna Neilson in Council Bluffs, Iowa. There he resided for a time but subsequently removed to Saunders county, Nebraska, where his remaining days were spent. He passed away in 1914 after a long residence in this county, and his widow survives. In their family were five sons and seven daughters, who yet survive, while they also lost three sons, who died in early life, and a daughter, Alice, who was the wife of Edward Helsing. Those still living are: Tillie, now Mrs. L. Graham, of Council Bluffs, Iowa; Ned; Jessie, who married Floyd Negley, of Ashland; Walter; Rose, now Mrs. Del Roser, of Omaha; Clarence, who is farming in Saunders county; Lily, a resident of Fremont, Nebraska; and Arthur, Edina, Dorothy, Jennie and Roy, all at home. Walter Brodahl pursued his education in the schools of Wahoo and when his textbooks were put aside he went to Omaha, where he began learning the machinist's trade. In 1914 he opened a garage in Wahoo, his previous experience as a machinist well qualifying him for the work which he now undertakes in repairing and equipping automobiles. He also has room to store cars and is doing a good business along this line. On the 6th of January, 1910, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Mr. Brodahl was united in marriage to Miss Anabelle Samek, daughter of Vend and Anna Samek, of Dodge, Nebraska. To this union has been born one child, Walter Richard Brodahl. In his political views Mr. Brodahl is a democrat, stanchly supporting the men and measures of the party. Fraternally he is connected with the Knights of Pythias and with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He and his wife are highly esteemed by many friends, the number of which is increasing as the circle of their acquaintance widens.
