Note from Dr. Hagen:
I reconstructed journals of his and his family's activities for The Minnesota Years (1894-1911)
The Montana Years (1911-1940). Rev. Hagen kept a daily journal which, unfortunately, was destroyed in a church fire. To reconstruct it I have read every newspaper edition of the communities where he lived and extracted references to him and his family members. Many ministerial acts are reported.
