ADOLPH FREDERICKSON.

    Adolph Frederickson, county attorney of Brown county, a practicing attorney
of Springfield and a well-known resident of that city since 1896, is a native of
the kingdom of Denmark, born on May 25, 1869, son of Lars and Olena
Frederickson, both natives of that same country, who came to the United States
in 1881 and settled in Prairieville township, this county, shortly afterward
moving over into Redwood county where they established their home and where Lars
Frederickson died in 1890. He and his wife were the parents of eight children,
four sons and four daughters.

    Adolph Frederickson was about twelve years old when he came to this country
with his parents. He had received five years of schooling in his native land and
upon coming here entered the district school, completing the course there, after
which he took the course in the high school at Sleepy Eye and was thereafter
engaged as a school teacher in the schools of Brown and Redwood counties for
five years, at the end of which time he entered the law department of the
University of Minnesota, from which he was graduated in 1896. Upon receiving his
diploma he opened an office at Springfield, this county, and has ever since been
engaged in the practice of his profession in that city, long having been one of
the best-known lawyers at the bar of the Brown county court. In 1912 he was
elected to the position of county attorney and is still occupying that important
position.

     In 1896, the year of his graduation from the university, Adolph
Frederickson was united in marriage to Jennie Jensen, who was born in Redwood
county, this state, and who for five years before her marriage had been engaged
in teaching school in that county, and to this union four children have been
born, Muriel, Myrtle, Hubert and Cyrus. Mr. and Mrs. Frederickson are members of
the Lutheran church and their children have been reared in that faith. Mr.
Frederickson is a Republican and for years has taken an active interest in the
county's political affairs, long having been regarded as one of the leaders of
that party hereabout. He is a Royal Arch Mason, a past master of his local
lodge; one of the charter members of the chapter at Springfield, and a member of
the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He and Mrs.
Frederickson are members of the Order of the Eastern Star and he is patron of
the Springfield chapter of that order.
