 DANIEL DANIELSON, a successful fanner and stock raiser, residing on section 6,
Danielson township, and one of the most prominent citizens in that portion of the
county, is a native of Norway, and was born on December 14,1840, his parents being
Daniel and Ingber Aslagson. His early life was one of industry and economy, and he
was thrown on his own resources when still a mere lad, having earned his own living
ever since he was twelve years of age. When he was twenty years of age he left his
native land, booking as a sailor on a native vessel for about nine months, then left
it in England, and made one trip to the West Indies. In 1862 he left London on a
vessel bound for China, and was shipwrecked about sixty miles off the coast of
China. After this he remained in China about six months, acting as quartermaster on
a steamer. He then went to Australia, where he remained for about five years, part
of the time in New Zealand, digging gold; also working in Sidney, New South Wales,
and a part of the time he sailed among the Friendly Isles. He left there in 1868,
and after spending about three months at his native home in Norway, he sailed for
the United States. Upon his arrival in this country, about July 1, he came direct to
Meeker county, Minn., and bought eighty acres of railroad land, on section 5, in
Danielson township. About nine months later he took a homestead on section 30, where
he lived for seven years, when he sold that and purchased his present place on
section 6. He has also sold his railroad land, so that he now owns 160 acres, a good
deal of which is under a high state of cultivation. He has suffered some reverses
through the loss of crops, particularly in 1876 and 1877 from grasshoppers, and in
1885 from hail.

   In political matters, Mr. Danielson is a prohibitionist, and he has taken an
active interest in public matters, having held various offices, including those of
township clerk one year and assessor five years.

   Mr. Danielson was married, April 20,1868, in Norway, to Inger Peterson, who was
born August 7, 1849. Their marriage has been blessed with the following named
children: Peter Chri, born April 23, 1869; Ine Dorthy, born April 16,1871; Daniel
Edward, born July 26, 1873; Hannah Julia, born August 12, 1875; Victor Emanuel, born
December 9, 1877; Martin Julius, born December 16, 1878; and Inger Malinda, born
March 27,1885.
