Hagedron, Christain, dealer in agricultural implements, was born in Denmark April 23rd, 1862, and lived there until he was eighteen years of age. He then came to America, and settled at Cedar Falls, where he lived for four years working in a blacksmith shop, a trade he had learned in Denmark. From Cedar Falls he came to Clay county, and started a blacksmith shop at Willow Creek. A year later he moved to Peterson and engaged in the same business for two and one-half years. It was during the year 1888 that he retired from that business to go into the agricultural implement trade, first with Mr. Harum and afterwards with Mr. Hitchcock. He was married December 23rd, 1884, to Miss Elizabeth Bossen. They have three children: Thomas, Haus, and Christiana.
