Schwede, a leading farmer and stockman of Stanton county, Nebraska, is a native of the county, born on his father's homestead, which has always been his home, in 1876. He is one of three children born to Fred and Augusta Schwede, both born in Germany. The parents spent their early lives in Ommeron, Germany, and in 1867 sailed to the United States, spending eight weeks on the voyage, and landing at New York. The father was a farmer by occupation, and they located first in Wisconsin and spent three years in that state. In 1870, they drove a team to Nebraska, bringing their household goods with them, and purchased the Finske Wright place, on section nineteen, township twenty-four, range one, of Stanton county. They were among the early settlers in that region, and at first had few neighbors and suffered the usual hardships and privations of pioneers, but the father at once commenced improving his estate, and this work has since been continued by him and his son, until it is now one of the best grain and stock farms in the region. At first they were greatly annoyed by the loss of crops which followed the depredations of the grasshopper, but were triumphant over all difficulties, and eventually won a very fair degree of success. Many times in the early days they were obliged to fight prairie fires to preserve their crops, stock and buildings. In those times they used a team of oxen, but the estate now contains many modern farming appliances and contrivances. F. A. Schwede is now the owner of the home place, in all, four hundred acres. Mr. Schwede received his education in the early country schools of the neighborhood and was reared to farm labor, beginning to help his father as soon as he was old enough to be of service. He is an enterprising and progressive farmer and active in the welfare and progress of the community. He was married on 8 Feb. 1900 to Miss Martha Gall, and they are parents of two children, Nelda Schroer and Clarence. Mrs. Schwede is a daughter of Fred and Bertha (Maas) Gall.
