Speaker

My great-grandfather, Rev. T.T. Carlson, speaking in Stavanger, Norway.

 

He emigrated to the US in 1882 at the age of 18 and became a pastor, married, and had seven children. In 1930 he returned to Stavanger. I'm not sure of the whole story, but apparently he was somewhat of a celebrity (returning son?), and he gave a speech.
