PROMINENT among the farmers of Swede Grove township, is N. L. Nelson, who has a good
farm and comfortable home on section 33. He was born in Sweden on the 25th of
February, 1845, his parents being Lewis and Johanna Nelson. N. L. Nelson came to the
United States with his father in 1871. He came direct to Swede Grove township, and
worked for several farmers in that part of the county for seven years, when he
bought a farm on section 22 and lived there for nine years. He then sold that and
bought his present place on section 33.

  Mr. Nelson was married on the 24th of March, 1868, to Emily Anderson, and they
have had the following children— Ole, who was born January 28, 1869; Albert, born
May 24, 1874; and Lewis, born May 16, 1877.   When Mr. Nelson came to this country
he was a poor man, but by industry and economy he has acquired a competency and a
comfortable home. He now has 155 acres of land and has a good lot of stock gathered
about him. He is a republican in political matters and ranks as one of the leading
farmers of his township.
