Pehl, Charles A., mason, was born in Sweden, April 13, 1839, and remained
in that country nineteen years. He received a fair education in his native
tongue, and since his arrival here has fitted himself for business by
private study. He first settled in America at Rock Island, Illinois, where
he engaged as a laborer, and subsequently learned his trade. In 1872 he
went to Red Wing, and came thence to Mazeppa in 1875. Here he formed the
acquaintance of Miss Eva Black, to whom he was married on June 20, 1875.
They have two children, Josephine and Charles. Mrs. Pehl is the youngest
daughter of Elam Black, elsewhere mentioned in this work. Mr. Pehl is an
adherent of the republican party. He was reared in the Lutheran church,
and now cherishes its faith.
