• Notes

  Caroline was born in 1897. She was confirmed in 1911 at the Lebanon Lutheran Church in New London. She likely met her husband John Richard Hultgren through the Ladies Presbyterian Aid Society which met in Kerkhoven. She was a very good cook and was renown for her popovers and pancakes served in the Hultgren Café in Spicer. She passed away in 1976. "The nursery business is a vigorous game and calls for food in quantity and often. Years ago we'd start the daily foraging at the Hultgren Cafe in Spicer where the pancake was king. The same dozen or more natives gathered evey morning, and opened the door to the pungent aroma of Fredolf's coffee. A few were working stiffs, who ran on into Willmar and some had working wives, but all partook of the pancake as concocted by five different elderly women. None of them was guilty of shaking something out of a box into tap water, as is the custom today. Those cakes were thin, a golden brown on both sides, nothing like the anemic, thick, pasty jobbies so common today. There was only one fault: Those who were pancake prone would never taste their likes again. The Puritan Cafe came close, but the all-time pancake crown belongs to the Hultgren Cafe of fond memory in Spicer." - Irv Hanson, Just Add Water
