Read More	Iver Hendrikson resides on section 7, Deer Creek township, Worth county, but since 1895 has taken no active part in farm work. Living retired, he is enjoying the fruits of his former toil in a well earned rest and he has now reached the age of eighty-five years, his birth having occurred in Norway, February 18, 1833. His parents were Henry Erickson and Helen (Olsen) Hendrikson. The father and mother were both born in Norway, where they were reared and educated, Mr. Hendrikson following the occupation of farming. He died in chat country in 1847 and the mother afterward came to America, making her way to Lafayette, Wisconsin, where she lived with her son Andrew, there passing away. Iver Hendrikson spent the period of his boyhood and youth in his native country and is indebted to its public school system for the educational opportunities which he enjoyed. At the age of seventeen years, however, he bade adieu to friends and native land an In 1859 Mr. Hendrikson was united in marriage to Miss Anna Elizabeth Peterson, a daughter of Lewis and Bertha Maria (Tostensen) Peterson. She. too, was born in Norway and in 1853 came to the United States with her parents, who settled in Rock county, Wisconsin, where they resided for four years. They removed to Houston, Minnesota, where her father purchased a farm of one hundred and sixty acres, upon which he and his wife spent their remaining days. Mr. and Mrs. Hendrikson have become the parents of eight children, namely, Hans, Maria, Lauritz, Oscar, Cornelius, Nettie, Peter and Eno Leonard. The parents are consistent members of the Lutheran church and have guided their lives according to its teachings. Mr. Hendrikson has filled a number of local , offices, being the first postmaster of Deer Creek, which office was opened in 1890, and at all times he has merited and received the trust and goodwill of his fellow townsmen. His has been an active and well spent life and he has never had occasion to regret his determination to come to the new world, for here he found the opportunities which he sought and in their utilization has made for himself a very creditable and enviable position among the successful farmers of his section of the state. His life record should serve to inspire and encourage others, showing what may be accomplished when there is the will to dare and to do. He has never allowed obstacles and difficulties to discourage him but they have served rather as an impetus for renewed effort on his part and, advancing step by step, he has reached the goal of prosperity, his life history proving that success and an honored name may be won simultaneously.
