Alfred Hagen, buttermaker for the Unity Co-operative Creamery at
Strum, is one of the popular young men of the village and is
thoroughly proficient in his chosen line of work.  He was born in Eau
Claire, Wis., Oct. 10, 1882, son of Segvart A. and Karen (Olson)
Hagen.  Segvart A. Hagen was born in Norway, came to Trempealeau
County in the nineties, settled on a farm in section 12, Albion
Township, and there lived until his death in 1906, since which time
the widow has continued to make her home there.  Alfred Hagen
remained with his parents until 15 years old.  Then he was employed
as a farm hand for several years.  In 1911 he entered the Unity
Creamery as a helper, and gradually perfected himself as a
buttermaker until he was promoted to his present position in the
spring of 1916. Mr. Hagen was married April 7, 1915, to Clara Engen,
of Eleva, daughter of Ole and Mathia Engen, for many years residents
of section 22, Albion Township, where the father died in 1908 and
where the mother still lives.  Mr. and Mrs. Hagen have a daughter,
Myrtle Kathrine, born March 12, 1916.
