Burman, Nels Peter, farmer, Watopa, is among the most enlightened and 
progressive citzens of the township. He has been town clerk four years, 
and also served as constable. He was born in the northern part of Sweden, 
January 5, 1849, and was reared on a farm there, receiving the 
common-school education of that country. He came to the United States when 
nineteen years old, and was employed for some years in mining and railroad 
construction in Wisconsin and Michigan. he became a resident of Watopa in 
1873, and next year purchased the farm on which he resides, on section 29. 
He has two hundred and eighty acres of land, and is chiefly engaged in 
grain raising. He is a firm adherent of republican political principles, 
and a Lutheran. In 1875 he married Maria Charlotte Johnson, who was born 
in southern Sweden, six years later than her husband. Two sons, each 
christened Charles, have been taken from them by death. Those living are: 
Johanna Elizabeth and Charles Oscar.
