Author: See Below NELS F. JOHNSON, is one of the well-to-do farmers of Swede Grove township. He is a son of John and Anna Christianson, and was born in Sweden, on the 28th of June, 1862. He came to the United States with his parents in 1868, and they came direct to Meeker county, Minn., settling in Swede Grove township, where Nels F. received a common-school education. He lived with his parents, working on the farm until 1887, when he purchased 160 acres of land on section 6, where he now lives, keeping “bachelor’s hall” and tilling his farm. A sketch of his parents will be found elsewhere in this volume. Mr. Johnson takes active interest in township matters. He was appointed school clerk to fill the unexpired term when that office became vacant through the removal of his father to another township. He is a member of the Swedish Lutheran church. In political matters he is a republican.
