Harold was a Barber and had his shop as part of the small row of shops in the center of Morgan Park Neigborhood, Duluth.MN. During his retirement as a Barber, he owned and managed a group of garages. He would spent a lot of time checking them. He also would like to rummage through the dump pile near the garages looking for interesting items. What prompted his death was that one Saturday, he came home from the dump on fire. He used to smoke heavily and we believe he dump gasoline on himself by accident and set himself on fire when lighting his cigarette. Died two days later of a heart attack in Miller Dwan burn unit, Duluth.

Harold was born in Iron River Wisconsin. Parents were Frederick and Hannah Johnson Dahl

The Morgan Park neighborhood is also known as a planned community built by U.S. Steel to serve its Duluth Works steel plant in the early 1900s. Originally named "Model City" during its designing phase in 1913 and renamed in honor of U.S. Steel's founder J. P. Morgan in June 1914, the town of Morgan Park was not only built by, but also run by the U.S Steel Corporation until 1933, when it was deeded to the City of Duluth. The community thrived with recreational facilities, community clubs, the Lake View Store (billed as America's first indoor mall), K-12 school, and even its own police and fire department. Eventually the steel plant declined and was shut down in phases with the last of the facilities closing in 1981. The historic nature of the community is still present.
