 PETER SANGREEN, a hard-working and industrious farmer, living on section 9,
Collinwood township, was born in Sweden in 1856, and is the son of Andrew Peter and
Eve Anderson. When he was about sixteen years of age he left his native, shores and
emigrated to America, and located in St. Louis county, Minn. For three years there
he was employed in railroad work, and then came to Collinwood, where his parents had
come, that year, 1876, and took up his home beneath their roof. One year later he
rented a farm, upon which he carried on the avocation of a farmer, and then
purchased forty acres of land where he now lives. The neat improvements in the way
of house, granary, stable, etc., have all been erected by himself, and he is in a
fair Way to achieve success in life through energy, industry and frugality. He has
held the office of town clerk five years; chairman of the board of supervisors one
year; side supervisor two years, and the responsible position of county commissioner
for two years, and always with credit to himself and honor to the judgment-of those
who placed him in those capacities.

  Mr. Sangreen was united in marriage March 6, 1880, with Miss Caroline Dohlman. a
native of Sweden, born August 5, 1858, and daughter of Olaf and Caroline Dohlman.
