From the book HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. published in 1909:
Ole I. Haugen owns a well cultivated farm in Wanamingo township, known as Highland Brook Farm, and carries on agricultural operations along the latest approved lines. He is a native of this county, born in Holden township, September 28, 1862. After receiving his earlier education in the schools of his neighborhood, he attended the high schools of Faribault and Northfield, and subsequently clerked in a store for one year. In 1884 he went north to Polk county, this state, and purchased 160 acres which he farmed one year. The fall of that year saw him again on the old homestead in Holden township, and in the following spring he sold his Polk county farm and purchased eighty acres of the home place, remaining there until 1898. It was in that year that he came to Wanamingo township, purchased 175 acres, and started general farming, altering and improving the buildings and developing the farm, upon which he now raises the, usual crops and makes a specialty of dairying, having a fine herd of Holstein cattle. To this farm he has recently added fifteen acres, and in addition owns the remaining eighty acres of the old homestead in Holden township. An independent voter in politics, Mr. Haugen has served as justice of the peace and is now clerk of school district 61. He was married, November 16, 1892, to Carrie Dalbotten, daughter of Iver and Anna (Trove) Dalbotten, natives of Norway, who came to this country in 1857 and settled in Holden township, where they both died. Before her marriage Mrs. Haugen was a teacher of instrumental music. She has borne to her husband seven children: Irvin, Eva, Obert, Edward, Clifford, Anna and Rudolph, all of whom are at home. The family faith is that of the Lutheran church. Iver and Bretha (Earager) Haugen, parents of Ole I. Hatgen, were born in Norway and came to America in 1857, locating in Holden township where they purchased 160 acres of wild land, which they broke and cleared, and built a comfortable home, following general farming until November 11, 1885, when the father died. The mother is still living on the old homestead.
