  ISAAC ISAACSON. After devoting his life to the milling business, Mr. Isaacson,

in 1901, moved to Nobles county and has since been engaged in farming. He owns

the southeast quarter of section 32, Leota township, which he bought at the time

of his arrival.



  Mr. Isaacson was born in Norway March 10, 1845, the son of Isaac and Ada

Ingebor (Nelson) Isaacson. The father was an early day settler of Leota

township, having come there direct from Norway in 1880. He bought the southwest

quarter of section 34, the farm now owned by the family of the late Chris

Haibek, his son, and on that place he resided until his death, which occurred in

1886, at thhe [sic] age of 65 years. Our subject's mother died at the home of

her son, Chris Haibek, in November, 1900, at the age of 79 years.



  In his native country Mr. Isaacson worked at the cabinet maker's trade and

followed the sea for a few years. He came to the United States in 1871 and

located at Whalan, in Fillmore county, Minn. He took up the work of a millwright

and for sixteen years was an employe of W. W. Corgill & Fall in mills at Whalan

and Houston. He then bought a custom mill at Whalan and went into business for

himself, conducting the mill for sixteen years. Selling out in 1901, he moved to

Nobles county, bought his present farm (then without improvements), and engaged

in farming. He now has one of the fine farms of Leota township.



  Mr. Isaacson has been married twice. His first marriage occurred in Norway, in

1868, when he wedded Bertha Beaurn. She died in Houston, Minn., in June, 1883,

at the age of 36 years. As a result of this union eight children were born, of

whom the following five are living: Hannah (Mrs. Peter Ellingson), wife of a

Sioux Falls automobile dealer; John B., proprietor of a department store at

Allison, Iowa; Mary (Mrs. John Jacobson), of Sioux Falls; Ingebor, a school

teacher of McLean county, N. D.; Eda Berthena, who resides at home.



  The second marriage of Mr. Isaacson occurred at Houston, Minn., Dec. 26, 1883,

when he wedded Carrie Ingerbritson, who was born in Norway in 1855, and who came

to the United States with her parents when a child five years old. She is the

daughter of Austin and Gunnel (Swenson) Ingerbritson. Her father came to the

United States at the time of the civil war and located in Fillmore county,

Minn., where he now lives on a farm. Her mother died in Fillmore county in 1904,

at the age of 67 years. Mr. and Mrs. Isaacson are the parents of five children,

as follows: Oscar, Ruben, Gina, Charlotte, a school teacher of district 59;

Isaac Herman, Esther Lillian, Lida Theolena. Both parents are members of the

Norwegian Lutheran Synod church, of Kenneth. He has held the office of director

of school district No. 59 for the last three years.
