 HANS M. AKESSON, a resident of Swede Grove township, is a son of Mons and Siselin
Akesson. He was born in Sweden on the 8th of March, 1856, and remained in his native
land until 1881, when he came to the United States, and, after spending two months
in Wisconsin, pushed on westward and located in Swede Grove township, Meeker county,
Minn. On the 24th of November, 1882 he was married to Miss Anna Olena Erickson, the
only daughter of Gertram and Martha Erickson, The father of Anna died in Amerca, and
the mother, Martha, came to the United States in 1857, and in 18G0 was married to
Christian Erickson,.who died on the 20th of March, 1882. Mrs. Erickson had two
children— Halvor Michelson, who was born February 11, 1846, who lives on section 32,
Swede Grove township, and Anna Olena, now Mrs. Hans Akcsson, who was born March 18,
1864. Hans M. Akcsson and his family live with his wife’s mother and cultivate the
farm. Mrs. Erickson is an old settler in the township and was here all through the
“pioneer days.” When the Indian trouble began she fled for her life with the others
who were living here at that time. She fled in the night for Forest City for
protection, and at one time came very near losing her life, when Indian bullets were
flying as thick as hail. As a full history of those Indian times is given in another
chapter of this work it is unnecessary to repeat it here.

  Mr. and Mrs. Akesson have been blessed with three children, whose names and ages
are as follows— Martin Clarence, born May 6, 1883; Gotfried Casper, born November
29, 1884 ; and Helmer Eugene, who was born on the 5th of November, 1886.
