PETER O. HAGEN (1871)

Peter O. Hagen, whose farm is the northeast quarter of section 29, Stony Run
township, is of Norwegian ancestry.  His parents were Ole and Bertha Hagen,
who were born, lived, and died in Norway.

Peter O. Hagen first saw the light of day in Norway and was born in 1839.
There he acquired his education and spent the first thirty years of his
life.  He came to the United States in 1869 and located in Iowa.  After
living there two years he decided to go to a newer country, and in 1871 he
came to Yellow Medicine county, locating at that time on the place he now
owns in Stony Run township.  He is one of the oldest settlers and has
witnessed and had a part in the growth and development of the county in the
forty-three years of his residence.

Mr. Hagen was married to Carena Nelson, daughter of Andrew and Mary Nelson,
of Norwegian nativity.  Their children are Rose A., Cora S., Oscar G.,
Norman and Teiman.
