  GUST SELBERG, of Ransom township, was born in Sweden Aug. 22, 1871, the son of

Peter M. and Mary (Selberg) Peterson, both of whom are still living in their

native land. Gust is the youngest of a family of eight children.



  Gust came to the United States in the spring of 1889 and settled at

Worthington, in the vicinity of which village he worked as a farm laborer nine

years. He then rented a farm in Bigelow township, which he conducted three

years. In 1893 he had bought 104 acres of land on section 17, Bigelow township.

Seven years later he sold that and bought his present farm, the southwest

quarter of section 12, Ransom township, where he has since resided. The place

was unimproved when he purchased it.



  Mr. Selberg was married in Bigelow township Nov. 16, 1897, to Miss Emma H.

Hardo, a native of Bigelow township and a daughter of L. P. Hardo, of Cass
