====================================================================
Andrew Lund, one of the earliest settlers of Dovre Township, was born in
Sweden and there grew to young manhood and was married. At the close of the
American Civil War he came to the United States, landed at New York, and
settled in Michigan. From there he came to Eau Claire, this state, where he
was joined by his wife, Anna, and four children, Peter, Nels, Hannah and
Ellen. In 1868 he came to what is now Dovre Township, and located on a
homestead of 160 acres. But the title was not clear, so he took up his home
with his son, Peter, who had taken a homestead in section 31, in the same
township. In this township he and his wife spent the remainder of their
lives..
