Ole  Hagna, a successful farmer of Section 3, Chetek, was born in Norway,
Dec.  20,  1871,  the  son of Ellef and Margaret Hagna, who lived all their
lives  in  the  old country. In the family there were seven children: Olaf,
Ambrose,  Turgrim,  Johanes,  Ole and John. Ambrose and Turgrim came to the
United  States  in the eighties and located in Iowa. In 1886 came John, Ole
and Johanes. The subject of this sketch was educated in Norway. Upon coming
to  the United States he stopped at Iola, in Waupaca County, Wis., one year
and  then  came  to Barron County and worked on farms near Cameron. Then he
located  on the farm in Section 5, Stanley Township, where his brother John
Hagna  now  lives.  In  1901  he  sold  his  farm to his brother, John, and
purchased  his  present  farm of 80 acres in Section 3, Chetek Township. He
first  moved  into  a log cabin which stood on the place. Then he erected a
good  set  of  buildings. To the original purchase he has added 80 more, so
that  he  now  owns 160 acres. He is continuing to improve and develop this
farm,  and  carries  on  general  farming  and  dairying.  He is one of the
influential,  substantial men of the township, and is well esteemed by all.
Mr.  Hagna  was  married  April  1,  1895 to Mary Amundson, who was born in
Stanley  Township,  the  daughter of Hans and Sophia Amundson. Mr. and Mrs.
Hagna  have  nine  children:  Gertie,  Floyd, Violet, Margaret, Milo, Emil,
Walter, Norman and Olive.
