Bear Park Township, Norman County, Minnesota, United States
Notater:
The Bear Park Township was organized in 1881 while still part of Polk County. It was heavily timbered, and had bears, therefore the name Bear Park. There were once post offices at Rindahl in the northeast quarter of section 4 and Ranum, located near the center of the township. John Ledning (Ledding) who came in 1878 filed the first claim, and Ole L. Garden who also came in 1878 was the first to settle. Ole settled in the southeast quarter of section 32 in June 1898. He came from Nicollte county and had an old homestead there. His son was the mayor of the village of Gary in 1918 and owned the Gary Graphic, the local newspaper of the village. Other early settlers were Sverre J. Lee, Gulbrand Saxun, Ole Holoien, O. Stromberg, and Peter Hassel. S.J. Lee, who being a man of education, was used in the early days of the settlement as a sort of general secratary. He served two terms as representative in the Legislature and was chairman of the board of county commissioners. Other early township officers were:Gilbert J. Saxum, Gustaf Kyllander, Andrew Melhus, Ole Rindal, Ole Flescher, C. T. Petterson. This part of Norman County was taken largely by homesteaders. There were three churches in Bear Park Twp.,namely, Norman, Zion, and Faaberg.
