Nygren, Charles Elmer (page 458), one of the popular and successful young
farmers of Mt. Pleasant Township, is a native son of this county, having
been born in Gilford Township, January 8, 1883, son of Charles J. and
Maria (Johanson) Nygren. He attended the district schools of his
neighborhood, and for two years was grounded in the fundamentals of a
thorough commercial education in the Lake City Business College. He worked
with his father until 1903, when he started on his own responsibility by
renting 120 acres of his father's farm. He now operates 240 acres on a
successful scale, and makes a specialty of high class stock, his herd
including a dozen pure blooded Shorthorns and about 40 high grades. He
also has a drove of from 25 to 50 pure bred Duroc-Jersey hogs. His place
is a little more than five miles from Lake City, is kept in the highest
stage of cultivation, and is well equipped with machinery, tools and
implements. Mr. Nygren is an energetic, successful young man, popular in
the community, and a thorough believer in modern methods of agriculture.
He is a Democrat in general principles but reserves the right of private
judgment as to men and policies in all elections, and although keenly
interested in all public affairs he has never cared to seek political
office. Mr. Nygren was married February 14, 1911, to Isabelle Edna
Roberson, who was born January 19, 1889, daughter of Frank and Sarah
(Whitcomb) Roberson, of Gillford Township, and this union has been blessed
with three children: Norman Elmer, born June 26, 1912; Ruth Edna, born
November 18, 1914, and Neil Wyman, born June 9, 1918. The family attends
the Episcopal church.
