Edwin 0. Granum, who operates the well-known Woodland Farm, in Section 5,
east, Dallas Township, owned by his father, was born at Mount Horeb, Dane
County, Wis., Jan. 13, 1895, the son of Knute and Olena (Skindrud) Granum,
who sent him to the public schools in his native county. He was fifteen
when the family came here, and he helped to develop the farm and assisted
his father with the work. In 1919 he took a course in the Agricultural
College of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. With this preparation,
he took hold of the home farm in 1920. He is continuing it along the sound
lines started by his father, and is already well on the road to success. He
is well liked in the community and is a man of considerable influence.
Fraternally, he is a popular member of Chetek Lodge, A. F. & A. M.
Mr. Granum was married in Maple Grove Township, June 5, 1920, to Gertrude
Nelson, who was born at Modena, Buffalo County, Wis., on Dec. 20, 1894, the
daughter of Ole and Mary (Lee) Nelson, the former of whom is dead and the
latter of whom is now the wife of Edward Huseth of Maple Grove Township.
