      S. O. LINDGREN, one of the active, enterprising business men of the village of
Dassel, is a member of the firm of Thompson & Lindgren, general merchants! He was
born in Sweden, July 13, 1857, and is the son of Olaf and Anna Lindgren, natives of
the same kingdom. He came to this country in 1879, and came to Meeker county direct,
and during the summer of that year worked on a farm near Litchfield. In November he
removed to the village of Dassel, and attended school until spring, when he entered
the store of August Sallberg, as clerk, with whom he remained some two years. He, at
the expiration of his engagement, went to Minneapolis and engaged in business for a
time. In the summer of 1888 he returned to Dassel and formed a partnership with John
Thompson, and the following September opened a stock of general merchandise in a
building that they had erected. They have continued in that line of trade ever
since, and are now doing a large and increasing trade, their fair dealing and
uprightness in all business matters winning them hosts of friends.

   Mr. Lindgren has taken great interest in all local politics, and was elected one
of the village trustees in 1884. In 1885 he was chosen to fill the position of
recorder, and has been re-elected his own successor ever since, and now fills that
office. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, having been made a Mason by Cakato
Lodge, No. 134, in 1884.

   The marriage of Mr. Lindgren and Miss Mary Peterson took place in August, 18S5.
