Conrad Woxen, a progressive farmer of Section 30, Prairie Farm Township,
is a native of the farm which he still owns and operates, born June 10,
1875, the son of Christian and Randy (Sorenson) Woxen, the pioneers. He was
reared on the home place, helped to clear it up, attended school in the
neighborhood and learned farming from his father. He gradually took over
the responsibilities of the place, and in 1912 became its owner. He has put
up a good set of buildings, and has continued the clearing and improvement
of the land. He believes in scientific methods, he farms along the latest
approved lines, and his operations have been successful. He takes his share
in everything that has for its object the betterment of the community and
he is regarded as a useful and valuable citizen of the community. For one
term he did good work as assessor of the township. He has also given
excellent service as a member of the board of his school district. Like his
parents before him, he is a loyal supporter of the Norwegian Lutheran
Church. His sister, Inga, keeps house for him.
