CONTENT AND STRUCTURE

Administrative/Biographical History:    
Carl Lorimer was born in Holdrege, Nebraska on March 31, 1886. Carl attended Augustana College and Theological Seminary and graduated with a B.A. in 1908. In 1911, he graduated from the Seminary at Augustana and was ordained on June 18, 1911. Over his career, he served numerous churches in the Midwest from 1911 through 1945. He was also the superintendent of for the Home for the Aged in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 

Mabel Anderson was born on February 28, 1888 in Ottumwa, Iowa. She worked as a school teaching in Ottumwa and, during some summers, as a bookkeeper for a grocery store. 

Carl and Mabel met in May 1907 at the graduation of A.T. Lorimer, Carl’s brother. Mabel was attending because her cousin, Ethel Elliott, was engaged to A.T. Lorimer. Mabel and Carl corresponded for years, before getting engaged during the summer of 1910. Mabel and Carl were married on Wednesday, June 28, 1911 at the Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, Iowa. The best man was A.T. Lorimer and matron of honor was Ethel Lorimer. 

Carl’s parents came to the United States from Kristdala, Småland, Sweden. His mother was Mathilda Swensson. Mabel’s father came from Knäred, Halland, Sweden and her mother from Småland, Sweden.
