Iver Davidson Hustvedt papers, 1854-1930
Iver D. Hustvedt, a schoolteacher from Voss, Norway, came to Leon Township, Goodhue County, Minnesota, in 1868. He taught parochial school, served as precentor and secretary for the Urland Lutheran Church from 1879 to 1909. Most of his library and papers were destroyed when his farm home burned down in 1924. His early correspondence consists mainly of letters from Norway. Over time the pattern expands to include friends and relatives in the States, including correspondence to and from his children. Some of the manuscripts are preliminary drafts that may duplicate what is available in the Urland Lutheran Church records. The minutes he recorded for several parochial school teachers' conferences led by minister B. J. Muus may not be found elsewhere. He prepared an unpublished 50th anniversary history of the Urland Congregation in 1922. A translation by Lloyd Hustvedt is included. The files include drafts of obituaries he wrote, a travel account, a poem he composed, information about the John Kildahl family, and some legal documents.
