Martin A. Martinson, a modern, energetic farmer of Section 17, Dovre
Township, was born on the old homestead in Section 20, June 10, 1890, the
son of Ole Martinson. He was reared on the home place, learned farming from
his father and older brothers, and attended the district school. In 1910 he
started farming for himself on the farm homesteaded by his uncle, John
Christianson Johnson, and now owned by his brother, Sivel L. Later he
purchased his present farm of 157 acres, originally the Andrew Wolf
homestead. He has a good home and barn, and maintains a well-kept farm in
every particular. He is a wide-awake young man, and has the best interests
of the community constantly at heart. He is very popular with the young
people and is active in the social affairs of the community. His sister,
Cora, keeps house for him, and they both delight in extending hospitality
to their friends.
