His parents’ names were Paul .and Ingra (Olson) Johnson. John Paulson came to the United States in 1869, and came direct to Meeker county, Minn., and, purchasing eighty acres of land on section 28, Swede Grove township, he began his life in the new world on the place where he still lives. He was married before leaving Sweden to Miss Betsey Nelson. Mis. Paulson was the mother of six children, as follows— Ellen, born May 28, 1865, is married to John Anderberg, and now lives in Grove City; Hannah, born March 12, 1868; Anna, born August 8, 1869; Nels, born May 4, 1870, and died September 1, 1883; Lillie, born June 14, 1872, and died February 18, 1873; and Henry, born June 4, 1871. The mother of these children died on March 28, 1876. Mr. Paulson’s second marriage was with Miss Hannah Jeppeson, a daughter of Nels and Malinda Jeppeson.
