     ERICK W. NELSON, a young and enterprising farmer of Dassel township, is also
engaged, in company with N. J. Lind, in carrying on the saloon business in the
village of that name. He is a native of Sweden, born among its beautiful scenes
October 14, 1856, and is the son of Peter and Mary Nelson. He came to America, when
but twelve years of age, in company with his parents, who took up railroad land and
settled on section 35, Dassel township, in 1868, where the father of our subject
made his home until overtaken by death in 1883.

  Erick remained with his parents upon the family homestead until their death, and
then came to the village, of Dassel, and was employed as a clerk in a store until
May, 1886, when he embarked in the saloon business, as above mentioned. He is
carrying on a farm of sixty acres, a portion of the parental estate, and has made
quite a success in life for a young man. Self-reliant, without obstrusiveness, and
straight forward in his dealings, he is bound to succeed in life, and his business
tact will insure his financial elevation.
