  JOHN BIRCH, of the firm of Birch & Nelson, Litchfield, is a native of Sweden, born
August 21, 1840, and is the son of Andrew and Martha (Johnson) Birch. He remained in
his native land until 1868, when, with a natural wish to better his financial
condition, he bade adieu to the old world and sought in America a new home. He had
served a long apprenticeship in the land of his birth, to the trade of tailor, and
on landing on these shores, -worked at journey work in that trade in the city of St.
Paul, whither he had come, until 1880, when he removed to Litchfield, and in company
with Andrew Nelson, founded the business now represented by Mr. Birch and Rasmus
Nelson, trading under the firm name of Birch & Nelson, in the clothing and gents’
furnishing goods line. Mr. Birch is a member of the I. O. O. F., having joined that
order while in St. Paul.

  Mr. Birch was married January 4, 1873, to Miss Sarah Johnson, a daughter of Olaf
Johnson, of this county, and a native of Sweden. They have three children— Amanda
Elizabeth, Ella Hannah and Horace John.
