  ASMUS NAZARENUS, Elk township farmer, was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany,

Jan. 8, 1857. His father was Peter Nazarenus, who died in Koppeln, Germany, in

August, 1901, aged 68 years. His mother was Christina (Sehnock) Nazarenus, who

died in 1869, aged 34 years.



  In his native country Mr. Nazarenus resided until 25 years of age and engaged

in farm work. He came to the new world, arriving in New York city Feb. 22, 1882,

and located at Luzerne, Benton county, Iowa. There for two and one-half years he

worked for wages at farm work, and then moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Near that

city he resided two and one-half years, for a short time working for wages, the

rest of the time farming on shares. He moved to Plymouth county and there farmed

three years. In 1889 Mr. Nazarenus came to Nobles county and bought the east

half of the northeast quarter of section 13, Elk township, and engaged in

farming. Three years after his arrival he purchased the other eighty acres of

the quarter, and in 1896 he purchased the northeast quarter of section 24,

making a half section in one body he now owns. Until February, 1903, he lived on

the farm; then he moved to Worthington, where he resided one and a half years.

He then erected his buildings on his property on section 24, and has since been

engaged in farming it.



  Mr. Nazarenus was married in Benton county, Iowa, Sept. 18, 1883, to Emma

Jammar, who was born in Mecklenberg, Germany, and who came to the United States

in January, 1883. They are the parents of the following children: Johannes, born

June 13, 1885, now farming in Elk township; Annie, born June 5, 1887, now of

Watertown, S. D.; Alfred, born April 3, 1896, now residing at home. Mr. and Mrs.
