   SWAN AUGUST SCARP, of Litchfield, is a native of Sweden, born August 20, 1845,
and emigrated to the United States when he was about twenty-seven years of age. On
landing he came direct to this village, where he remained until the following
spring, when he moved to a farm near that place, where he spent the next two years.
Returning to Litchfield he erected his residence, and entered the employ of S.
Ahnquist, in the saloon business and remained with him some six years and a half, at
the expiration of which time he entered into the same line of business for himself
and continues to carry on the saloon. In 1887 he erected one of the finest
residences in the village, at a cost of over $5,000, superintending its erection
himself.

   Mr. Scarp, November 16, 1873, was united in marriage with Miss Sophia Johnson, a
native of Sweden, and daughter of John and Ingra (Parson) Johnson, who became the
mother of four children— Annie C., Julia L., Francis E., and Jennie. Mr. S. is a
member of the Order of United Workmen.
