| Torgerson, Gustavus Maurice (b.1840 - d.1902) |
| Builder/Architect, Oxford/Meridian, MS |
| Native of Switzerland (according to the 1900 census) or Sweden (according to his son's census records), he immigrated to America in 1865. Listed in Lafayette Co. 1880 census as carpenter and resident of Oxford. Not listed in 1870 census there. Buried in Oxford cemetery with two children. Appears as "architect" in Meridian directories, 1884 and 1888 (not in 1882-3 directory). Address in 1884 is Davis Street in Meridian. He was still living in Meridian in the 1900 census and possibly died there but was buried back in Oxford where his children's graves were. According to a 1930s Commercial Appeal article about his son, Torgenson came to America as supervising architect for the World Cotton Exposition in New Orleans in 1884, and later the World Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
