Edholm, Axel E., merchant, Lake City, became established in business here
in 1873. In the city of Orebro, Sweden, July 4, 1847, he was born. Until
he was thirteen years old he attended the schools of the city, and then
went to Stockholm, and entered a store as clerk. He came thence to Lake
City in 1870, and was here employed in the same way three years. In the
great fire of 1882 his stock was destroyed, inflicting a loss of some
thousands of dollars. He immediately secured a new stock, and is still
doing a fine business, his annual sales exceeding twenty-five thousand
dollars. Mr. Edholm was married in Sweden, in 1876, to Hildegarde
Liliander, who was born and reared in Stockholm. Two daughters have been
given to this union, and christened Bertha and Edith. All are membes of
the Lutheran church. Mr. Edholm is an adherent of the republican party.
His father, Gustafus, came to this city with eight children in 1869. The
youngest son died while a student at St. Peter. Edward, another son, is
employed in his brother's store here, and W. W. is in Minneapolis. Five
daughters are married and living in this state, and the widow, Christina,
still resides here. Gustafus Edholm died here September 11, 1875.
