Paul Sandquist, grocer, Stockholm, Pepin county, was born in Wermland,
Sweden, June 22, 1834, a son of Andrew Sandquist, and was educated at
Carlstadt seminary, from which institution he graduated in 1852.  He
then engaged in teaching, and followed that profession until 1868, when
he went to Lansing, Iowa, and thence to Stockholm.  For several months
after his arrival, Mr. Sandquist was ill, but as soon as he had
sufficiently recovered he found employment as clerk in a grocery store.
He also worked at common labor until he had accumulated sufficient
capital to engage in business for himself.  For five years, from 1873
to 1878, he carried on a grain elevator or warehouse, after which he
was again disabled by disease, suffering severely from rheumatism for
about three years.  In 1882 he began keeping a grocery store, which
business he still continues.  In 1869 Mr. Sandquist married Miss
Matilda Buck, and they have three children:  Mildor, Waldemar and Arla.
He takes a great interest in the education of his children.  Mildor is
a graduate of McAllister's school of telegraphy at Minneapolis, Minn. 
Mr. Sandquist is a democrat in politics and has served as supervisor,
and twelve years as town clerk.
