Description
Ivar Hinderaker was a traveling minister in Minnesota and South Dakota in the late 19th and early 20th century. He was born in Norway in 1851 and emigrated from there in 1872 with two cousins and two neighbors. He ended up in the Midwest. A few years later he went back home to Norway but ended up returning to America along with one of his brothers and one of his sisters. He married Marie Ahre in 1881 and they had five children. Ivar passed away in 1942, ten years after Marie, and they were both buried in the Bethlehem Cemetery in Astoria, South Dakota.

In addition, there are various photographs of Norwegian-Americans from the upper midwest, including St. Olaf College and a Luther League convention.
