"Toger [sic] P. Fagerbakke was born June 8th, 1837 in Sigdals Prostigjeld [sic], Norway. In 1859, at 22, he came to America. He came to Gilman Township in 1867.

"On November 11, the same year, he went to live at Skaalen's Home for the Aged at Stoughton. The last year he had been gradually failing, and about a month ago he became so ill that he had to remain in bed.
"One of the inmates of the home informed his son and daughter of his condition and they went to see him Friday October 31. His daughter remained with him until his death November 4, 1924.
"He leaves to mourn his death, Clara, Ida, and Albert of Portland, Oregon, Oscar Hulback of Woodville, and Mrs. Oscar Mattison of Gilman, also seven grandchildren.
"Funeral was held Saturday at the Gilman church, Rev. S. Berven officiating and burial was made in the Gilman cemetery."
