  ANTON NELSON, a retired farmer living at Kinbrae, is one of the pioneer

settlers of Nobles county, having been a resident of Graham Lakes township since

1871.



  Mr. Nelson was born in Sweden Oct. 4, 1832, and that was his home until he was

17 years of age. At the early age of 12 years he began working in a flouring

mill, learned the trade, and followed that occupation until his arrival in

Nobles county. From Sweden he went to Denmark, where he worked at his trade

several years, and then to Germany, where he was for several years. In 1860 he

came to the United States and located in Jefferson county, Wis., where he was in

the milling business until 1871. In the fall of that year he drove from his

Wisconsin home to the Graham Lakes country, of Nobles county, bought a homestead

claim of B. W. Woolstencroft on section 26, proved up on it, and continuously

resided there until 1903. He then moved to the village of Kinbrae, where he has

since lived a retired life.
