Rose (1908) THOMAS H. HAGGE has been engaged in farming in Elk township twenty-one years, his present farm being the northwest quarter of section 26, which is a finely improved tract of land. Mr. Hagge was born in Prussia Nov. 4, 1867, the son of Klaus and Katie (Kuhl) Hagge. His father died in Benton county, Iowa, June 9, 1902; his mother died in 1884. Mr. Hagge's boyhood days were spent in his native land. There he secured a common school education and assisted with the work on his father's farm. In 1883 he came to the United States and located in Benton county, Iowa, where he lived four years, working for wages at farm work. He then came to Nobles county (1887), traded a threshing machine for a piece of land in Elk township, and that township has been his home ever since. He purchased his present place a few years ago. During the last nine years he has served as treasurer of school district No. 6, and for the last five years has been a member of the township board. On March 17, 1889, occurred the marriage of Mr. Hagge to Miss Ida Dohlheim, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dohlheim, of Elk township. To them have been born three children, all living of home. They are Henry C., John H., and Anna. Additional Comments: Extracted from: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF NOBLES COUNTY MINNESOTA BY ARTHUR P.
