              <text>Correspondence, legal papers, and biographical information of a Norwegian who immigrated in 1847 and came to Washington in 1850. Toftezen was probably the first Scandinavian in the Stanwood area. His mother, sister, and brother came later. A Toftezen memorial stone was erected in 1939. The bulk of the collection consists of letters written in Norway, Washington, and Door and Oconto counties, Wisconsin, by and to members of the Toftezon family, and deal with church, crops, health, and weather. A collection of clippings (1931-1939) tells of the Toftezen family and of the dedication of the monument. Includes photocopy of article by H.M. Tjernagel, "Toftezons, et kapitel af norsk-amerikansk historie" in "Symra," v. 10 (1914) pp. 240-250.
