              <text>Correspondence and articles about a Norwegian-born farmer and Methodist clergyman. The papers include a family history and information on pioneer agriculture and church. Johnson was born in Heddal (Telemark), and emigrated 1839 to Muskego. Later, he settled in Winneshiek County, Iowa (Springfield township), in 1850, and for one year was the minister in Cambridge, Wisconsin (1856-1857), in the Willerup Methodist Church, reputed to be the first Norwegian Methodist church in America. He preached in the Norwegian Methodist Episcopal church 25 years; became a deacon in 1856, and was ordained at Appleton, Wis., 1856. Although health made him retire to his farm, he continued to preach during vacations of ministers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Content:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Nelson, Johnson (Kaasa) Papers: Correspondence and articles.&lt;/span&gt;</text>
