She was born on November 9, 1915, at home, the daughter of Gunder Johnson and Sophia Onsager. Frieda was orphaned by age 9 and reared by her older brothers and sisters without benefit of today's child welfare protections, and lived through the Great Depression. She grew to adolescence on a farm in Suldal Valley, outside of Mauston, Wisconsin. She was united in marriage to Milton J. Dallmann on March 3, 1937, in Rockford Illinois. She lived most of her life in Milwaukee and Sussex where she had worked in women’s retail sales. She lived in Hillsboro the past 30 years, where she enjoyed her retirement. In her adult life, as a wife and mother, Frieda loved interior decorating, women's fashion, flower gardening and making floral arrangements. She is best remembered for her faithfulness to her family, her relatives, her religion, the ease with which she made new friends, and her compassion and gifts to those less fortunate than her and her family. She was loved and will always be in our memory and our thoughts. Frieda was a constant source of comfort and encouragement. She was a member of the Grace Lutheran Church, Elroy and formerly the Ascension Lutheran Church, Milwaukee.
