The items in this gift lot were used by Pastor Anders Hansen who came to Elk Horn from Ruskin, Nebraska in 1931. He started the Salem Homes in 1932 in the old college building. He passed away before the new retirement home was built, but he worked hard to develop plans and lay the groundwork to make it a reality. He was Virgil's father. |
