1031      HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY



Albert T. Forsberg, of the firm of Forsberg Brothers, general 

merchants, of South Haven, was born in Meeker county, Minnesota, 

January 6, 1882, son of Swan and Christine (Tack) Forsberg. He 

attended the district schools and learned farming from his father. 

He started life for himself at the age of sixteen, and for two 

years worked on farms in the summer time, and attended the 

agricultural department of the University of Minnesota in the 

winter. In 1901 he graduated from the National Business College

in Minneapolis. With this separation he entered the employ of 

the Crescent Creamery Company at Minneapolis, and was accountant

and credit man for this concern for five years. Then for four 

years he was manager of Thelander's store at Stockholm, Minn. 

Thus, when he came to South haven with his brother, Clarence V., 

and established the firm of Forsberg Brothers, he had the sound 

experience necessary to the unusual success that he has achieved. 

In the affairs of the community Mr. Forsberg has taken an unusually 

active part. He has been president of the village council one year 

and a member another

secretary and manager of the South Haven Rural Telephone Company, of 

which he was one of the principal organizers. The A. F. and A. M. at 

Cokato counts him as a valuable member. The family faith is that of the 

Swedish Lutheran church. Mr. Forsberg was married April 25, 1905, to 

Annie Malmberg, daughter of August and Ida (Engdahl) Malmberg, the former 

of whom is a contractor and builder of Minneapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Forsberg
