Biography: The Braathens, Sverre and Faye, were active and avid circus fans and collectors. An
attorney by trade, Sverre's passion for circus began in the early 1900s when he was a boy waiting
for and later watching the Gollmar Brothers Circus unload, parade, and perform on the Great
Plains in the small town of Mayville, North Dakota. As a young adult, he served in the U.S.
Navy onboard the U.S.S. Kearsarge where he was a coronet player in their band. After World
War I, he returned to his studies at Mayville Normal School, graduated, married Faye Oretta
Bentley, and moved to Wisconsin, where he later became an attorney. He mixed his love of
music with his love for circuses and began collecting circus music material. Through the years,
his collection grew to include route books, business materials, periodicals, massive amounts of
correspondence between all levels of circus personnel - from band members to performers,
riggers to roustabouts. Every season found the Braathens following circuses throughout the
upper Midwest and it was while following circuses that his photographic talents emerged.
Sverre and Faye died in the mid-1970s. Their massive circus collection came to Illinois State
University's Milner Library at that time and has resided in Special Collections ever since.
This Collection is indexed under the following controlled access subject terms:
