LUGVIG HOGSVEN (1887)

Ludvig Hogsven owns and arms a 120 acre farm on section 3, Sioux Agency
township, close to the Minnesota River.  He has lived on that place more
than a quarter of a century.

Mr. Hogsven was born in Norway April 28, 1882, the son of Hans Hogsven, who
died in Yellow Medicine county in 1902, and Ingeborg Hogsven, who still
lives in the township.  He came from the old country in 1887, the head of
the family buying the farm now owned by the son.  He was educated in the
school of district No. 65 and in boyhood days worked for his father.  After
his father's death he continued on the place and became the owner of it in
1906.

In Granite Falls, Mr. Hogsven was united in marriage to Elisa Iverson.  She
is a daughter of Ole S. and Ella Iverson, of Sioux Agency, and was born in
the township March 17, 1890.  Mr. and Mrs. Hogsven have three children:
Hilma, born May 17, 1905; Selmer, born April 18, 1907; and Inga, born
February 20, 1909.
