Torgney Aagedal was born to the parents, Torje and Anna Aaagedal, at Aagedal, Bjelland in Mandal, Norway, August 12th, 1907, and died at Peterson, Minn., August 1, 1934, at the age of 26 years, 11 months and 20 days.
He was baptized into Christ in infancy, received instruction and confessed his Christian faith in his youth. And in 1927 he came to America, coming to Eagle Grove, Iowa on August 19 to his uncle Tobias Paulson. He lived here until March 1, 1928, when he moved with Mr. and Mrs. Paulson to Shabbona, Ill., remaining there until in August, 1929, when he went to Chicago, Ill., where he worked until in the winter of 1932 when he returned to Eagle Grove, Iowa, and has since made this his home.
In January and February, 1934, he attended the Lutheran Bible Institute at Minneapolis, Minn., and since then he has given illustrated lectures on the "Storfilm of Norway" and the "Oberamergau Passion Play," and was booked for a lecture at Peterson, Minn., the evening of the day on which he died. He went with a young man for swim in the river near Peterson, and was drowned.
He leaves to mourn his untimely death his parents, one brother and five sisters in Norway, his uncle, Tobias Paulson of Shabbona, Ill., and his first cousin, John Larson of near Eagle Grove, and Peterson Larson of Holmes, Iowa.
Torgney was an unusually friendly and pleasant character. A sincere Christian who loved to confess the love of Christ. He expressed his thoughts often in little verses as "To Love", "This wondrous gift by God bestown, How we should love He has us shown, Love truly for all good will seek; To make us happy, strong and meek. To love means much -- it is to live. So we can have rich gifts to give; To gladly see what others need, and then a servant be indeed. To love means much -- it is to pray: Lord God, be with us every day: Protect our loving heart and mind, and make us happy, good and kind."
He made friends wherever he went, both about his daily calling, as well as in his church. He loved the church and willingly did all he could for it. We shall miss his faithful service.
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon from the church at 2 o'clock. Burial was made in the Rose Hill cemetery.
Those from out of town who attended the funeral were: Thomas Refnes, Albert Refnes, Mr. Anderson all of Chicago; Miss Ida Johnson, Mrs. Charlson, Magnus Sorenson of Thompson; Mr. and Mrs. Toby Paulson, Shabbona, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. Nels Quam, Randall, Ia.; Miss Agness Overseth of Canton, South Dakota, Mr. and Mrs. W. Risetter and Miss Alice Hobbet of Badger.
