After living in Iowa for a while, he went to South Dakota, and homesteaded a claim near Sioux Falls. There his wife died, leaving three children: Margaret Christina, now Mrs. A. W. Nyquist, of Akron, Ohio; Erick Olaf, of Onamia, Minn.; and Nels Andrew, of Maple Lake. From Sioux Falls, Mr. Hoglin went to Minneapolis. It was in 1881 that he came to Wright county. A year later he married Christina Bredson, and moved onto her homestead of 160 acres in section 10, Silver Creek township. There he devoted his time to farming and stock raising and there spent the remainder of his life, dying September 26, 1893. He and his good wife had three children: Hulda Emelia, Louis B., and Mabel Victoria. The family faith is that of the Swedish Lutheran church. Christina Bredson, wife of Hans Hoglin and daughter of Brada and Ellen Bredson, both natives of Norway, was born in that country, January 5, 1848, emigrated to America in 1880, and two years later homesteaded the 160 acres in Silver Creek township upon which her family still lives.
