Salvation Army papers, 1920-1986
Material about the Scandinavian Department of the Salvation Army, especially in Chicago. Collected by Helen Fletre and Josefa Andersen for Odd Lovoll to use in preparing A Century of Urban Life (NAHA, 1988).
See pages 201-202, 229, 237, 289.; Lovall writes: "A Scandinavian Department was organized in Brooklyn in 1887, at about the same time as the Salvation Army established itself in the Nordic homelands. Emigrating Salvationists became leaders in America. The Swedes dominated the mission among Scandinavian Americans. In such centers as Brooklyn, Minneapolis and Chicago there were separate Norwegian and Danish corps alongside Swedish and mixed Scandinavian ones. The Scandinavian mother corps in Chicago was the Swedish no. 13 organized in 1891 on the near North Side. A purely Norwegian corps had its beginning in 1896 on Grand Avenue, and in 1905 an outpost in Humboldt Park was opened by Ensign Maria Edahl, who in 1906 married Colonel Tom Gabrielsen, a major leader in the Scandinavian work in America."
