- Description
- Poems and other pieces by a Norwegian-born clergyman who emigrated from Oslo in 1889. After completing studies at a German Lutheran seminary in Chicago, he served Norwegian synod congregations in Chicago and on the West Coast. In 1909 he served a Unitarian parish in Underwood, Minnesota. At the time of his death, however, he had answered a call from a Norwegian Lutheran church in Superior, Wisconsin. Data on some poems indicates that they were published in "Tacoma Tidende" and in "Duluth Skandinav." The later poems are signed: Hagerup-Nissen. A page from his wife's Bible gives some family history.
