- Description
- "Hjelpreforeningen Norden" Established in 1886 in Hudson, Wisconsin, when a group of young Scandinavian men decided to do something to aid one another when sickness and death fell on their numbers. Membership was for men or women of Scandinavian origin between the ages of 16 and 50, in good health, and not engaged in the sale of liquor. They took turns nursing when night aid was needed. Over time, you were allowed to join if you married a Scandinavian. Minutes were kept in Norwegian until 1936. The organization disbanded in 1992.
