Erickson was born 24 July, 1835 at Svardsjo, Kopparberg Lan, Dalarna, Sweden. Andrew was the third of five children born to Eric Ersson, born 9 Apr 1805, and married 25 May 1830 to Sara Ersdotter born 23 March 1804. The five children were: Anna, Eric, Anders (Andrew), Johan and Hans. Anders, or Andrew was married 3 June 1860 to Brita Jonsdotter, born 18 Sept 1840 in the same area or district of Sweden. The family emigrated to America arriving at New York, Castle Garden in June 1869. Andrew and Brita had ten children, five born in Sweden and five more after arriving in America. The two oldest, born in Sweden died as small children and were buried in Sweden, eight were to reach maturity, The children in order of birth were as follows: (1) Anders Johan, (2) Henry, (3) Erick B., (4) August, (5) Gertie (Campbell), (6) Charles, (7) Alfred, (8) Albert, (9) Erica (Hedeen), (10) Minnie (Danielson). Andrew arrived in Clay county in 1869 and filed a claim on the SE quarter, section #2, Garfield township. Although Andrew filed his claim, he lived in Sioux City, Iowa with his family at first and often walked the fifty miles to his claim to make improvements and comply with the Homestead Act regulations. In the spring of 1871 he brought his family up to permanently settle on their claim. Andrew was to live out his life and his dream on this homestead, his dream of a new beginning, a farm and land of his own in America. A farm which was to become the "showplace" of the neighborhood, where people would come from miles around for a Sunday afternoon drive to admire the farm and vast gardens and beauty he had created on the prairie. Andrew died 18 October, 1913 and is buried at Dalesburg Baptist Church cemetery. He was preceded in death by four of his children. Andrew is survived by his wife Brita and six of his children and their families. Blessed be his memory.
