Polson, William O. (page 375), a prominent farmer of Oakwood Township,
operating 240 acres, was born on his present farm, September 9, 1884, son
of Emric and Sophie (Johnson) Polson. His education was acquired in rural
district No. 44, and he was subsequently associated with his father in
agricultural operations on the home farm until 1918. He then bought the
property, which includes 240 acres, located in sections 21 and 28, and is
here engaged in diversified farming and stock raising, keeping Shorthorn
cattle, for general purposes, and Chester-White hogs. His operations are
conducted on a scientific and profitable basis, the farm, capably managed,
proving a good source of income. Mr. Polson is a member of the Farmers'
Shipping Association at Millville. He was married, June 14, 1917, to Lela
Olin, who was born in Brainerd, Minn., March 25, 1897, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Caleb Olin. Their union has been blessed with two children: Emric O.,
born May 24, 1918; and Paul F., born October 24, 1919. Mr. and Mrs. Polson
attend the Methodist Episcopal church.
