Dear Forum members, can anybody see anything on a John G. Hagen in NORWAY?
1900 Census shows he is born February 1847 and he immigrated to the United States in 1869. However, the 1920 Census records him arriving in 1847...and naturalized in 1855? (Born in Norway)
I see him in various U.S. census information but I don't know where he is from in Norway, and I cannot find him in the 1870 US Census, or in the 1975 Minnesota State Cenus.
In 1880 he is living in Evansville, Minnesota with his wife Ingeborg and their daughter Emilie, (7) born in Minnesota and Gilbert (3) also born in Minnesota.
He lived in Minnesota and died in Duluth , Minnesota on 4-21-1921.
thank you.

The 1920 US Census list birth year as 1847
The 1910 US Census lists birth year as 1847.
The 1900 US Census lists birth as Feb 1847.
The 1880 US Census lists birth as abt 1847.

I have placed an order for his death certificate and it should arrive in a couple of weeks. This should give us his parents name and as soon as I have this information I will pass it on in here.
in the meanwhile I suggest we wait and not work on this
thank you. |

Hi,
According to Nordmændene i Amerika, John Hagen at Plummer left from Skanshagen, Elverum Norway in 1883, and came to Plummer in 1892. He has a son named Gudor J. Hagen, forretningsbestyrer in Clearbrook, Minnesota from 1908.
In the first post re: Gilbert Hagen the son, www.mnhs.org has this entry of the approximately correct age in death index:
HAGEN, GILBERT

Place of Birth: MINNESOTA
Mother Maiden Name: na
certid# 1963-MN-033097

Duluth historical newspapers are searchable in a couple of places online.

Hi Jackie..yes I am familiar and have information on his son Gilbert Hagan.
So John Hagan's father was Gunder? That is very helpful. I have a feeling his mother's name might be Johanna....

Yes Erik and they are all residents of Elverum--probably the Plummer John G. Hagen and all are headed to Evansville.
There were also a couple of Gilbert Hagens. In the newspapers, in 1906 Gilbert Hagen lost a leg to a train accident and then it looks as though he had to sue his employer... That your Gilbert?
