Cass County

In the 1920s Ilmonen reported that in the area of big Leech Lake there were living a few Finns who had come there as lumberjacks. Other centers have been Boy River, as well as Hallock and Pine River, both of which had Finnish relief committees during the war, with the Reverend W. E. Erickson chairman in Hallock, and Oscar Dahl chairman in Pine River. At the turn of the century there were 34 Finns in Cass County, 86 in 1910, and 29 in 1950.
