From the Northfield News, Jan. 25, 1938:

Funeral services were held at Vang church Thursday afternoon, Jan. 6, for Nels T. Haugen, who passed away Monday morning, Jan. 3, at Minneapolis after a few days' illness of pneumonia. The services were conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Adolph Egge, who preached the funeral sermon. During the services, Mrs. Gertrude Boe Overby of St. Olaf college, a niece of Mr. Haugen, sang two hymns, one in Norwegian and the other in English. There were many beautiful floral offerings, and several gifts in his memory from relatives and friends to missions and charity. The services were attended by a large number of people, who had come to pay their last respects to their departed friends. The Rev. V. E. Boe, a brother-in-law of the deceased, was present at the funeral and spoke briefly at the close of the services. The interment was made in Vang cemetery. The pallbearers were: John Ellingboe, Ole Hoiby, John M. Lie, Nels L. Nesheim, Anton Remmen and Ludvig Soine. Nels T. Haugen was born in Warsaw township December 20, 1862, a son of the late Thomas and Gertrude Haugen. He was baptized as a young child by the late Rev. B. J. Muus and confirmed in 1875 by the Rev. M. O. Boeckman of St. Paul who then was the pastor of Vang congregation. His boyhood days were spent attending the common and parochial schools of the neighborhood. In 1887 he was married to Miss Regina Brekke of Ottertail county, and there he and his wife were engaged in farming. Mrs. Haugen died in 1894. In 1900 the family moved to Minot, N. D. Shortly after his arrival at Minot, Mr. Haugen was employed for several years in the lumber yard of Tosten Kulaas, a former resident of Warsaw township. After several years' work in the lumber yard, he was appointed deputy sheriff of Ward county, N.D., which position he held for four years. In the year 1917 he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Eide at Minot, and they went to farming near Minot until 1922, when they moved to this community, where they were engaged in farming until last fall, when they took up their residence in Minneapolis. After coming back to his old home community, he was for several years the janitor in Vang church, a work which he performed in addition to taking care of his farm work. Mr. Haugen was a man whom it was always a pleasure to meet. He had a pleasant smile and kind word for everybody. He made a large number of friends in whatever community he made his home. He leaves a large number of relatives and friends in this community. Endowed with a keen mind and a wonderful memory, he could relate incidents and interesting historical data from the pioneer days of this neighborhood. He was a great lover of horses and could many years afterwards speak of the color and the names of the horses which the pioneers had in the early days of this settlement. If anyone in recent years desired any information about the early history of this community, they were always referred to Nels Haugen. After coming back to the neighborhood where he was born, spent his childhood days and grew to manhood, he again became a member of Vang congregation. Besides his wife Mr. Haugen is survived by one son, Thomas, of Warsaw township and one daughter, Mrs. Carl Estrem, of Minneapolis. He also leaves two brothers, Chris T. Haugen of Warsaw township and Thomas T. Haugen of Northfield, and three sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Ramsey of Harvey, N. D., Mrs. V. E. Boe of Finley, N. D., and Mrs. Carl Brekke of Ray, N.
