Magnus J. Tysdal, carpenter at Rice Lake, was born in Norway Dec. 30, 1869, 
son of Johannes Nelson and Maren (Arneson) Tysdal. He attended school in his
native land, farmed for a while, and learned the carpenter's trade. He came
to the United States in June, 1891, and located in Dunn County, this state. 
For a year he farmed in the rural districts. Then he went to Chippewa Falls 
and took up his trade. He came to Rice Lake in 1893 and here he has since 
lived. In 1916 he built himself a very pleasant residence where he and his 
family now live. He is now working for the First National Bank as janitor.
