CARL CARLSON, a representative Scandinavian farmer, who is living in section 25 of
Germantown township, Turner county, is a native of Sweden, and was born October 16,
1836. He was educated in the excellent common schools of his native land, and there
passed his boyhood and grew to maturity. He decided to come to America, and,
accordingly, in 1869, emigrated to the United States, going direct to Wilson county,
Kans., where he remained until 1876, when he arrived in Turner county, S. Dak. He
entered 160 acres, where he now lives, as a homestead at that time. He has been
successful in his farming operations, and owns, in addition to his original farm,
160 acres of good land in section 24. All the improvements on his place are the
result of his own labor. He started with none too much of this world’s goods, but by
thrift, economy and strict attention to his business duties, he has acquired a
competence and is now fairly well-to-do. He devotes his time to general farming and
stock raising. Politically he is a Republican, and is also a member of the board of
school directors.

Mr. Carlson was married in 1867, in his native land, to Miss Mary Olson, and they
are the parents of eight children, viz.: Hannah, now the wife of Dick Heidland; Ida,
wife of Dick De Nuy; Conrad, Alma, Ludwig, Eddie, Huldah, and Albeda. Both he and
wife are devout Christians and members of the Baptist church.
