Edward John Hauge was born August 8, 1897 at Ellsworth Township, Hamilton County, Iowa. His earliest recollection was at the age of five, when he got his fingers into the mechanism of a washing machine.

At the age of six years he attended school at Lehigh, Iowa. There was a big flood that year (1903). He had two years of school at Lehigh, and one year at Jewell Junction, then four years at Garden City, Iowa. He finished the eighth grade at Elmore, Minnesota near where his father had a farm in 1913. They sold the farm that year and moved one and a half miles out on a 790-acre ranch. While on the ranch he was engaged in detective work and took detective training.

He moved to Ideal Township in Crow Wing County in 1917. He had taken up auctioneering in 1916 at the W.B. Carpenter School of Kansas City, Mo. with Colonel W. M. Walters as instructor.

He was seventeen years old when he came to Crow Wing County. He worked at home and for his father, and with his father for the township. Then he became a foreman for Jim Ingren in the timber business, and was responsible for the mechanical up keep on the job. Later, he was foreman for Jim Ingren on some extensive contracts on road construction around Pine River and Pequot. He worked under Jim Ingren until Ingren's death. Mr. Hauge was then twenty-two years old.

He got his call to service in the 1919 draft on November 11, the day the Armistice was signed.

Since then he has farmed, logged, "cried sales", and done odd jobs until he was married at the age of twenty-four years.

He was married in 1920 and took over the farm of Ole Johnson, his father-in-law. He has kept up a program of diversified farming, dairying, etc.

Mr. Hauge "logged" independently, employing as many as sixty-four men at one time. On one job he put out 47,000 feet of lumber, eighteen loads of ties, 1000 cords of pulpwood. It took him from 1930 to 1933 to finish this "stumpage" which was in Ideal Township. In the mean time he kept up his farm program.

Mr. Hauge now operates a resort in Ideal Township and is building it up, as opportunity and time affords.

Mr. Hauge is a Lutheran by faith. He served on the local school board in Ideal Township as treasurer from 1918 to 1922; he has been Justice of the Peace since 1919; has been with the Farm Bureau Federation from 1921 to 1930; two years on the County Board of Advisors (created by the State Legislature Moratorium Law 1932 to 1934); twice nominated by the primary election as a candidate for County Commissioner for the second District in Crow Wing County.

"The thing that has seriously occupied my mind has been to obtain a solution for ending the present depression", says Mr. Hauge. (We hope he finds one).

Mr. Hauge was married October 14, 1920 to Helga Marie Johnson, born September 23, 1899. They have the following family:

Orville Raymond; born on the homestead in Ideal Township, August 9, 1921.
Donald Truman; born April 10, 1923.
George Kenneth; born February 2, 1925.
Marvin Harris; born March 25, 1927.
Marlys Harriet; born March 25, 1927.
Ethel Margaret; born in Pequot, September 11, 1931.
