Born: Hurum, Norway, on October 31, 1914 ("Krigsseileren" says he was born in 1897)
Died: Sanatorium Gabriels, on July 17, 1945
Haakon Andreas Engh was one of the Norwegian Sailors who cured in Saranac Lake during World War II. He was a carpenter, and was injured after three torpedoeings of his ship, Alar. 1 He was admitted to Sanatorium Gabriels where he died on July 17, 1945. Unfortunately, no "Report of a Case of Tuberculosis" card was found for him in the Adirondack Collection of the Saranac Lake Free Library. Trygve Magnussen also stayed at Sanatorium Gabriels; they must have known one another. Both men died here and are buried in Pine Ridge Cemetery with the other Norwegian sailors.
