DAVID C. HULTGREN - Vol III, pg 573-574
David C. Hultgren has made of the undertaking business a life work and in March,
1922, he formed Hultgren Company with an up-to-date establishment on East
Franklin avenue. He was born in Duluth on the 19th of December, 1896, a son of
Rev. A. G. and Marie L. (Carlson) Hultgren. His father was for years a minister
in the Swedish Methodist church and was a highly esteemed citizen of each
community in which he resided.
The public schools of Duluth afforded David C. Hultgren his education and in
early life he determined upon undertaking as his life work. Therefore he entered
the employ of the Welander Company, and during the five years he was active in
that connection took advantage of every opportunity offered him to become
thoroughly familiar with every phase of the business. In 1921 he started into
the business on his own account and in March, 1922, formed the Hultgren Company.
He has won gratifying success as an undertaker and has steadily built up a
reputation as one of the leading funeral directors in the city. His wife is an
active worker in the company and is licensed by the state board of examiners.
During the World war David C. Hultgren served in the navy. He enlisted on the
27th of July, 1918, and served on the United States battleship, Connecticut,
until the winter of 1919, when on the 27th of February he received his honorable
discharge.
On the 5th of May, 1920, was celebrated the marriage of David C. Hultgren to
Miss Myrtle E. Hansen and to their union two children have been born: Warren C.
and Virginia May. Beside being a business woman of ability, Mrs. Hultgren is
devoted to her home and family and she is likewise prominent in the club and
social circles of this city.
In his political views David C. Hultgren gives his endorsement to the republican
party and the principles for which it stands. He is conversant with all the live
questions and issues of the day and although he is not actively interested in
party affairs, he is never too busy to give his aid to the furtherance of any
movement for the development and improvement of the community at large. Hs is an
active member of the Franklin Avenue Business Men's Association and is a member
of the Eleventh Ward Improvement Association.
