Dan will be remembered by a number of Blair people as he farmed out in the Gardner school district for a number of years. While here he entered the race to the nomination for county sheriff against Morris Mehrens, but was defeated.

He was for a number of years on the Omaha police force. He leaves a wife and one son by a former marriage.

Note:The Vig notes at the Danish American Archives has his wife's name recorded as Mary and children Irvin, Ray and Thomas listed.
