Author: See Below AUGUST JORDEN, a farmer who at present resides on section 18, in Greenleaf towship, but who expects in a short time to remove to Cosmos, is a native of Sweden, and was born on the 29th of June, 1861. He left his native land in 1880 for America, and upon his arrival first settled in Minneapolis, Minn., where he remained for about two years and a half. At the expiration of that time he settled at Litchfield, in Meeker county, and remained there until 1883, when he purchased the place where he now resides, on section 18, Greenleaf township. The parents of Air. Jordon were also natives of Sweden. They remained in the land of their birth until 1882, when they came to the United States, and now live with August. August, the subject of this sketch, is a single man. In religious matters he attends the Lutheran Church, and in politics he is a republican. He is a good manager, industrious and frugal, and is getting a good start in his farming operations.
