He also in Verdal in North-Trøndelag. He was baptized October 21, 1855. His parents were Andreas Sevaldsen and Ingeborg Rasmusdatter. When his confirmation took Place October 1, 1871, it seems as if his birth not was August 13, but 19....... And both ministerbooks "tell" that he emigrated to America May 31, 1879. Can you find him for me?

| I am quite clear this is the person I have asked about - because one of the places they live in Verdal, is Hagen (the garden!). I don't wander at all that he is called/calls himself Hagen. This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you very much! |

Sevald returned to Chicago in October 1891.
He had to leave little Edvin Herman behind, and he wrote in a letter to his sister in Sweden, that it was a tough decision. But he didn't see any other option. It would be too difficult, since the winter was coming.
In 1893, he was waiting for his son to come over to America, together with Sevalds sister Ragnhild. The trip was arranged, but time went by without them showing up. And in the newspaper on May 22nd he reads about the big landslide that had happened in Verdal, and got worried. He wrote a letter home the same day:
"Dear parents and little Herman.
I have now waited for a letter from you for 2 months, and received nothing, so I'm getting really worried how you are back home. In the newspaper I read about the big landslide that have done enormous damage, but I can't tell where it has occured. I hope you're not affected, but it's terrible in any case. Please write back so I know how you are doing, and if you need any help.
On the 8th of May I sent 200 kroner to Dad. I hope you have received it now. (...)"
Sevald also telegraphed the Magistrate in Levanger, to check if his family was among those affected.
A few days later he received a reply from the Magistrate, that said his Father, his Mother, his Sister and his little son Herman all were among the deceased from the landslide.
Photo from Verdal after the landslide of May 19th 1893. A total of 116 people were killed. 105 farms destroyed, and thousands of animals killed. |

Thank you very much for all the information you have given me after I wrote thank you yesterday evening. Just above this photo of the horrible landslide in Verdal in 1893, you have written that Sevald wrote to his sister in Sweden. Do you know where she lived?
And you have written about this that a Helga Hagen lived from 1840 to 1980. Is it really 1940+ |

Sevalds sister Ingeborg Anna went to Järpen, Jämtland for work, where she married widower Per Allmin, who was 29 years older than her.
He had two daughters from first marriage, and now got two sons with Ingeborg Anna: Olof Alfred born 1893 and Per born 1899. Family after these two live in Sweden today.
In a letter to Ingeborg Anna in April 1906, Sevald and Guro live in Chicago, and have four daughters:
Inga Margrethe. Becoming 12 this Autumn. Doing good at school. Best in class for her age. Born 22 Nov 1894.
Helga Anita. Becoming 10 this Autumn. Also doing good at school. Born 05 Sep 1896.
Esther Elisabeth. Becoming 4 in May. Helping mother to look after the youngest. Born May 1902.
Florence Gudrun. Born 10 Jul 1905.

No she was born in 1896, so she lived from 1896 to 1989. You are misreading the Record. The Title of the Record is from 1840 to 1980 but the that Record only gives the birth date. See below.
Name: Helga A. Hagen
Gender: Female
Birth Date: 5 Sep 1896
Birth Place: Fillmore, Minnesota
And died in 1989
BORN: 5 Sep 1896

Following Jan Peters information on the family, here is the child Florence with the family in the 1910 Census. I do not see Esther Elizabeth so she may have died young. The name of the father is listed as Oswald but is probably a misspelling of Sevald.
Florence G Hagen
in the 1910 United States Federal Census

Age in 1910: 4
Birth Year: abt 1906
Birthplace: Illinois

Gender: Female
Relation to Head of House: Daughter
Marital Status: Single
Father's name: Oswald Hagen

Household Members:

Gura Hagen 45
Inga M Hagen 15
Helga A Hagen 13

Florence also died young at age 14. Again a misspelling of the fathers name should be Sevald not Levand.
