  SYVERT D. TINNES, retired farmer of Adrian, is one of the oldest settlers of

western Nobles county, having been the first to take a homestead in what later

became Olney township. Mr. Tinnes was born in Norway July 25, 1823, and came to

the United States in 1843. He located in Iowa county, Wis., which was his home

twenty-eight years. There he engaged in farming and mercantile business. He was

married there to Matilda B. Lindgren, who was born in Sweden and came to America

when a child. They have four living children—D. J., of Northwood, N. D.; J. F.,

G. E. and Mary, of Adrian.



  In 1871 Mr. Tinnes came to Nobles county and settled on section 34, Olney

township, and acquired title to the whole of that section. His family came out

the next year, and that became the family home. He farmed there until about

twenty years ago, when he retired and moved to Rushmore. After one year spent in

that village, he moved to Adrian where he has since lived a retired life. He

still owns 420 acres of section 34, Olney.
