   JOHN OLSON, a steady, thrifty farmer of Kingston township, came to Meeker county
in 1868, and took a homestead of eighty acres of land on section 34, where he now
lives. He was born in Sweden, November 8, 1830. In 1865 he determined to seek in the
new world his fortune, and emigrated thither, landing at New York, but came at once
West and was engaged at various kinds of labor in St. Paul, Stillwater and in the
pinery, until he came to this county. He is the son of Ole and Anna Flink, the
former of whom was always a farmer. Our subject was one of a family of ten children,
but he is the only survivor.

 Mr. Olson was married to Miss Sabrina Olson, by Rev. John L. Fasig, and they are
the parents of six children— Selina, born November 5, 1870; Obenius, born August 31,
1872; Alva Josia, born August 24, 1874; Johan Adolph, born May 23, 1876; Hilma, born
March 26, 1878, and Caleb Sethur, born September 30, 1881. This was Mr. Olson’s
second marriage, he having wedded Miss Josephine Peterson, at Stockholm, Sweden, but
she died after about eighteen months’ time. Mr. Olson and his family are zealous
members of the Missionary Church at Kingston. In politics he is a republican.
