Anderson, John, (page 1161), clerk, in charge of merchandise department of 
the Knapp, Stout & Co. Company's business here, has been in the employ of 
the company nearly ten years. Mr. Anderson was born near Vexio, Sweden, 
and came to America with his father's family in 1857, at which time he was 
seven years of age. They settled in Chisago County, in this state, on a 
farm, and there young Anderson remained until he was eighteen years of 
age. His education was received in the district schools of that county, 
and afterward in the village of Pepin, where he was engaged in clerking 
prior to coming to Read's Landing. July 20, 1871, he married Miss Sarah 
Holden; of Pepin. They have three children: Mabel, born August 20, 1872; 
Maud, December 17, 1877; Norman E., September 22, 1881. Mr. Anderson is a 
prominent member of the Methodist Espiscopal church in this place, and 
since his connection therewith has been recording steward of the society.
