Nygren, Oscar W. (page 445), a prominent citizen of Mt. Pleasant Township,
was born in the township where he now resides, April 7, 1876, son of
Charles J. and Maria Nygren. He was reared to farm pursuits by his father,
attended the common schools of his neighborhood, and has taken two full
winter courses in the Minnesota Agricultural College. He operates 120
acres on section 26, Mr. Pleasant Township, a part of the old home farm,
and here, on an extensive scale, he carries on general farming and stock
raising, aside from the usual crops. Since 1896 he has operated a
threshing outfit, and his operations in this line are widely known. His
farm is unusually well equipped with implements, tools and machinery,
including a gang plow of eight plows. In politics Mr. Nygren is a
Democrat, although in local affairs he votes for men and immediate issues
rather than for party. He has never sought elective political office, but
under Gov. John A. Johnson's last administration he served two years as
State Boiler Inspector of Wabasha county. He is popular with his fellow
citizens, prosperous in his operations, and a useful member of his
community. Mr. Nygren was married April 4, 1914, to Christine Bolang, born
December 1, 1884, in Zumbrota, Goodhue County, daughter of Ole Bolang, of
Central point, Goodhue County, this state. To Mr. And Mrs. Nygren have
been born two children: Byron William, November 4, 1917, and died May 7,
1919; Philip Douglas, March 27, 1920. The family faith is that of the
Swedish Lutheran church at Lake City.
