Sever Severson, proprietor of one of the old pioneer homesteads in Arland
Township, was born on this farm Nov. 11, 1879, son of Ole and Inga
(Anderson) Severson. His boyhood days were spent amid rough surroundings,
as the country was wild and his parents' farm as yet but partly developed.
In that development he, himself, had to take an active part, though for
several years he attended school in district 4. Such as the place was, it
suited him, and when he grew to manhood he felt no disposition to leave,
but remained with his father, whose assistant and co-worker he was until he
bought the homestead in 1901. Since then he has improved the buildings and
erected some outbuildings, including a milk house, chicken house and
woodshed. In addition to raising the usual crops, he follows dairying,
keeping Holstein cattle with a pure bred sire. He is a member of the Arland
Township Farm Bureau and of the Concordia Church.
