  ADAM OLSON owns and farms the northeast quarter of section 1, Ransom township,

which has been his home for the last seventeen years. He was born in Sweden Oct.

7, 1857, the son of Ole Johnson and Sarah (Anders) Johnson. His father died at

the age of 40 years, two years after the birth of his son. His mother, who was

the daughter of a soldier of the Swedish army, died in her native country in the

spring of 1885, aged 65 years.



  The subject of this sketch is the next to the eldest of three living children.

A sister, Johanna Olson, lives in Sweden. A brother, Fred, was born in Sweden,

came to the United States in 1884, resided here till 1904, when he returned to

his native land, married and is now engaged in farming.



  Adam Olson came to the United States in 1885 and for one year worked in the

saw mills and in the timber in Wisconsin and Michigan. In 1886 he went to

Cherokee county, Iowa, where he was employed at farm work for several years. He

came to Nobles county in the spring of 1891 and bought his Ransom township farm,

where he has ever since resided. He is unmarried.
