Nels (Nils) Häggström was born on August 31, 1905 in Nyland, Sidensjö, Sweden. Nels had six brothers and sisters and lived with an older sister after their mother died when he was five years old. Three of Nels' brothers moved to the United States to find better jobs, and Nels decided to join them in 1923. He immediately found work in the lumber business. Unfortunately, it was a dangerous job, and Nels had a severe accident that left him unconscious for two days and in the hospital for three months. After the accident, Nels worked at Lyle Plywood in Tacoma. He attained his citizenship after five years. Nels married Violet Larson in 1933, and they had one child named Bernice. Nels can still speak Swedish and likes to preserve the traditions, but he does not want to return to Sweden. Nels was confirmed Lutheran and attends a Lutheran church with his family.

Pacific Lutheran University
Scandinavian Immigrant Experience Collection
Maintained by archives@plu.edu
The Scandinavian Immigrant Experience Collection is a depository of historical materials relating to immigrants to the Pacific Northwest from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The collection includes items that support the academic, educational, and research programs of the University and the research needs of scholars and other researchers beyond the immediate University constituency.
The collection is closely tied to the collections in the University Archives and to the Regional Archives of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. It is further augmented by other books and materials in the Mortvedt Library and by artifacts, works of art, and other materials in the collections of the University's Scandinavian Cultural Center.
