Gathering of Ministerial Families at Parsonage of Jacob Aaall Ottesen
Image
A gathering of ministerial families at the parsonage of Jacob Aaall Ottesen (1825-1904). Pastor Ottesen, seated on the far left with Mrs. Cathinka Doderlein Ottesen to his left, is visited by Pastor Herman Amberg Preus, his wife Caroline Keyser Preus and family. Visible also in this view are Jacob Magelssen, a medical doctor and son of a Lutheran minister in Rock County, Ottesen's son Otto, and Preus's son Christian Keyser. Preus and Ottesen were organizers of the Norwegian Lutheran Synod in Wisconsin in 1853. In anticipation of the 1867 synod meeting in Utica, Ottesen's congregation at Koshkonong built this two-story frame parsonage.
