REV. EDWARD BORGEN, Assistant Pastor of the Norwegian Church of La Crosse, was 
born in 1852, in Spydeberg, Smaalenene, Norway, son of Erik Borgen, who died 
in Norway in 1875. Mr. Borgen received only a common-school education in 
Norway, and came to the United States in 1868. He lived one and a half years 
in Rock Co., Wis., and from there went to Decorah, Iowa; entered the Norwegian 
Lutheran College at that place in the fall of 1871, and graduated in 1876. He 
then entered Concordia Seminary, at St. Louis, Mo., and graduated from there 
in the spring of 1879. The same year he was ordained to the ministry and 
accepted a call from the Norwegian Lutheran Church of La Crosse, where he 
still continues. He was married, Sept. 8, 1880, in Decorah, Iowa, to Miss 
Ambjborg (Emma) Tobiason, daughter of Roland Tobiason, who came to the United 
States in 1850, and is still living near Decorah. He was from Slidre, Valders, 
Norway.
