   A PROMINENT business man of Meeker county is D. Elmqiust, watchmaker and jeweler,
of Litchfield, who is a native of Sweden, born in 1848. His parents were John Magnus
Elmquist and Ohristena Johnson, both of whom are now deceased. Mr. Elmquist
commenced in early manhood to learn the jeweler’s trade, at which he has become so
proficient. In 1869 he came to Minneapolis, Minn., but a short time later went to
Wisconsin, where he worked at his trade with his brother, P. J. Elmquist, with whom
he remained as journeyman until 1872. He then returned to Minneapolis and went into
business with this brother, and remained there four years; then after that he
located at Litchfield, opening a jewelry store as a branch of their Minneapolis
store, but later on bought out his brother’s interest, and still continues in that
business, carrying a full and complete stock of everything in that line. Mr.
Elmquist was one of the charter members of Litchfield lodge, Mo. 50, A. O. U. W.,
and is also an active member of the Litchfield fire department.

   Mr. Elmquist was married, February 22, 1876, to Miss Ida M. Hultgren, of
Minneapolis, and they have been blessed with five children, four of whom are still
living. The names of the survivors are as follows— Emily Christine, Minnie, Charles
J. and John Arthur. Mr. and Mrs. Elmquist are prominent and zealous members of the
Swedish Lutheran Church at Litchfield, and exemplary Christian people.
