These good people died when he was but five years of age, and he early had to make his own way in life. In 1888 he came to the United States, and located at Tower, in St. Louis County, Minn., where he entered the employ of the Minnesota Iron Co., with which concern he was employed as a foreman for some twenty years. In 1901 he came to Barron County, and purchased 40 acres in Section 8, Almena Township, to which he later added a few more acres, making 57 in all. After securing the land he returned to Tower, and continued his employment there until 1909. Then he came back. Since then he has operated the farm. He has built up a nice set of buildings, has about 25 acres under the plow, and carries on general farming and dairying. He was married at Eveleth, Minn., in 1909, to Anna Severson, who was born in Norway. Mr. and Mrs. Lindberg have three children: Hjalmar N., Ellen M. and Ruth C., all at home. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C. Cooper, Jr., & Co., 1922, pg. 378.
