Theodore 0. Tvedt, an enterprising young farmer, is a native of this
county, having been born on the home farm at Stoughton, Dane County, Wis.,
May 1, 1891, son of Nels 0. and Rachael (Stensland) Tvedt, who came to
Barron County, Wisconsin, in 1895. He received a good education in the
school of District 5, Barron Township, and has devoted his entire life to
farming. He has a good place of 80 acres on Section 16, Barron Township,
highly cultivated and provided with a set of modern buildings. He is but
two and a half miles from Barron City on a good road, and his trading
facilities are, therefore, excellent. He believes in the modern methods of
farming, and, aside from general lines of agriculture, makes a specialty of
roan Durham cattle and Poland-China swine. By judicious purchases he has
acquired a good line of tools, implements and machinery and the comfort of
the daily life of him and his wife is increased by the possession of a baby
Overland automobile. Mr. Tvedt was married Oct. 6, 1920, to Olga Foss, who
was born Oct. 1, 1895, daughter of Ole G. and Tillie (Jorgensen) Foss, of
Barron Township. Mr. and Mrs. Tvedt are members of the Barron congregation
of the Norwegian Lutheran Church. They have one son, Jerome, born July 17,
1921.
