Like him, he was associated with their father, both in the woods and on the farm, but at present is working on the same farm for Sever. He was married June 24, 1916, to Esther Peterson, who was born July 12, 1895, daughter of Elmer F. and Betsey (Ingwalson) Peterson. The parents were natives of Sweden who came to America in the early eighties and, settling in Barron County, Wis., took a homestead in Turtle Lake Township, which they developed into a good farm. That place was their residence for the rest of their lives with the exception of four years, from 1904 to 1909, during which Mr. Peterson was superintendent of the poor farm at Barron. He died May 3, 1912, and his wife Jan. 11, 1908. Mr. and Mrs. Ingval Severson have three children: Elmer, Bessie and Eleanor. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
