ANDREW S. MATTSON, a prosperous farmer whose land adjoins the village of
Litchfield, is a native of Sweden, born September 7, 1852. His parents were Swan
and Margaretta Mattson, who came to the United States with their family in 1858
and located in Carver county, Minn., where they were among the pioneers. A year
or so after their settlement there, Mr. Mattson, the father died, and in 1859
Mrs. Mattson removed with her family to Meeker county and claimed eighty acres
of Government land on Section 10, in Ness (now Litchfield) township. When the
Indian outbreak began, she removed to St. Paul, and remained there until after
the close of hostilities, when she returned to her land in Meeker county,
erected a small house and commenced improvements. She made this her home until
1885. She was married to Nels M. Pearson in 1867, and is now a resident of
Darwin township.

Andrew S., the subject of this sketch, lived with his mother until they moved to
Darwin, when the mother conveyed the farm to him. Since that time he has added
about $1,150 in building improvements, and otherwise added to the value of the
farm. He now has 115 acres of good land within eighty rods of the incorporated
limits of Litchfield village, where he carries on general farming and
stock-raising.
