Provenance |
This badge was likely used by Sigurd Pedersen. The materials in this donation document the life and work of Svend Sigurd Pedersen, the donor's father. He was born November 24, 1878 in Gowen, Michigan, and later married Edyth Eveline Larson on June 7, 1917 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sigurd wrote for several Danish American newspapers throughout Minnesota, and served as editor of the Tyler Journal. He also taught from 1905 to 1906 at Ruthton, Minnesota. He died January 3, 1969, in Ruthton, and is buried in Danebod Cemetery, Tyler, Minnesota. Sigurd's father, Hans Jorgen Pedersen, played a key role in establishing the Danebod and Ashland folk schools. Sigurd's mother, and Hans' wife, was Ane Marie Jepsen (Jeppesen) Pedersen. |
