Osmanson, Ole, Jr. - Farming and stock raising are two kindred occupations 
which are often-times carried on together by the more progressive of the 
agriculturalists of every farming community, and Grundy County is no exception 
to this rule. One of those who is making a success of these lines of endeavor 
is Ole Osmanson, Jr., of Saratoga Township. He was born in this same township, 
July 14, 1883, a son of Oliver H. and Susan (Johnson) Osmanson, natives of 
Lisbon, Ill., and Stavanger, Norway, respectively.

Ole Osmanson attended the schools of his district amid grew up amid healthy, 
wholesome country surroundings. After marrying in 1895, he began farming on 
his own account on the homestead of his parents, thus continuing until 1912 
when he bought his present property in Saratoga Township, on which he raises 
grain and standard Belgian horses. On January 22, 1895, Mr. Osmanson was 
married to Grace Pyle, born at Morris, a daughter of James H. and Josephine 
(Waters) Pyle, of English descent. They have two children: Willis Enis and 
Clarence Ole. Mr. Osmanson is a Lutheran, but his wife is a Methodist. 
Politically he is a Republican, and served three years as a school director. 
Hard working, energetic and conscientious in his work, he has prospered and 
enjoys the full confidence of all who know him.
