NELS J. ANDERSON (1891)

Nels J. Anderson, farmer of Hazel Run township, owns and farms the 
northeast quarter of the northeast quarter of section 33 and twenty-six 
acres on the southwest quarter of section 27.  The place is know as 
Comstad Farm.

Mr. Anderson was born in Sweden in 1851 and is a son of Anders and Easter
Person, who both died in Sweden.  He lived in Sweden until 1891, working at
the carpenter trade and farm work.  He came to the United States that year,
coming direct to Yellow Medicine county and locating in the vicinity of
Hazel Run village.  For several years he worked at farm labor.  In 1897 he
bought his farm in Hazel Run township and has since been engaged in farming
it.

At Hanley Falls, Minnesota, on July 31, 1897, Mr. Anderson was united in
marriage to Amalia Nilsen, who was born in Norway in 1858.  She died March
17, 1910.  Two children were born to them, Magnus and Martina.
