Anderson, an active and efficient farmer of Maple Grove Township, has a good place of 80 acres in Section 8, east, which he is cultivating and improving, and where he carries on general farming and dairying. He is well liked in the community and takes pride in the growth and progress of the county which gave him birth, and in which his parents were early settlers. He was born in the township where he still lives, Oct. 14, 1886, and received his education in the district school of his neighborhood. He thoroughly learned farming from his parents, Andrew and Augusta (Storm) Anderson, and remained with them until 1918, when he started in for himself on a place which he rented. He bought his present place in 1919. Mr. Anderson was married Jan. 1, 1918, to Signe Nelson, daughter of Andrew and Anna (Sanderson) Nelson, natives of Sweden, who came to America in the early eighties, and now reside in Maple Grove Township. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson have one child, Orville A., born Aug. 14, 1918. The family faith is that of the Norwegian Lutheran Church. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
