He was born in a log cabin on section 30, Prairie Farm Township, this county, Feb. 10, 1878, the son of Christian and Randi (Sorenson) Woxen. He attended the old log school in his neighborhood, and learned farming from his father while helping to develop the pioneer homestead. For eight seasons he worked in lumber camps. In 1912 he bought a tract of land in section 8, Prairie Farm Township. In 1914 he bought his present place of 80 acres. It was then partly cleared. He now has a good set of buildings and a well improved farm, properly equipped. He successfully carries on general farming and dairying, and has a good herd of Holsteins and good Percheron horses. Mr. Woxen is a man held in the highest respect and esteem by all who know him, and his judgment is regarded with value. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
