President Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Seminary, Red Wing, MN 1885-1886; St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN 1899-1914; professor Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN 1914.

From "The Beginnings of St. Olaf College" by I. F. Grose:
"[Bernt J. Muus] secured the services of Johan Kildahl, the father of Dr. J. N. Kildahl. He met the Kildahl family in Red Wing, Minnesota, when the Kildahls were on their way from Norway, with no particular destination in mind. He ascertained that Mr. Kildahl was a teacher and Mrs. Kildahl a weaver. As Muus needed a parochial school teacher and Mrs. Muus a weaver, the outcome of the chance meeting was that the Kildahl family accompanied him to Holden, and thus started the nine-year-old Kildahl on his distinguished and useful career as a pastor and a teacher..."
