SIVER HANSON.

    Siver Hanson, well-known farmer of Brown county, proprietor of a fine farm
of two hundred acres in section 10, Linden township, is a native of the kingdom
of Norway, having been born in Gulbraudsdalen, December 31, 1864, son of Hans
Siverson and Anna Jacobdater, natives of that same country, who spent all their
lives there. Hans Siverson was a miller and he and his wife were the parents of
eleven children, of whom the subject of this sketch is the sixth in order of
birth and all of whom are now residents of the United States.

    Siver Hanson received his education in his native land, attending school for
three months in the year until his confirmation. In 1880, he then being sixteen
years of age, he came to the United States and joined one of his brothers and a
sister, who had preceded him some time before, in Brown county. He began working
as a farm laborer and saved his money, with a view to being one day a farmer in
his own right. He married in 1889 and then rented the farm on which he is now
living and which he now owns. For twenty years he operated that farm as a tenant
farmer and then, in 1909, bought the same, since which time he has made numerous
important improvements to the place, having a good house, a good barn and other
buildings in keeping. Mr. Hanson has ever taken a proper part in local civic
affairs and for some time served his township as school clerk of the township.

    In June, 1889, Siver Hanson was united in marriage to Mrs. Ellen (Olson)
Halverson, widow of Jacob Halverson and mother of two children, Ole and Tilda,
by her first marriage, and to this union three children have been born, Jacob,
Henry and Gertee, all of whom are at home. Mr. and Mrs. Hanson and their
children are members of the Norwegian Lutheran church at Linden and take an
active part in the affairs of that congregation. Mr. Hanson is a member of the
Modern Woodmen of America, associated with the lodge of that order at New Ulm,
and a member of the lodge of the Mutual Benefit Association at Linden and in the
affairs of both of these organizations takes a warm interest.
