Today, the street he lived on in Gressvik is named Waldemar Agers Vei in honor and in memory of Ager, who lived there some 130 years ago.Like many Norwegians in those days, Ager''s father emigrated to America. Ager''s father did not take his family, but instead he went to America, taking up residence in Chicago, by himself. In 1885 at the age of 16, Ager went to join his father in Chicago.
