Kingsbury, 1915 JOHN CARLSON. John Carlson owns and operates an attractive and modernly equipped farm of two hundred acres in Brandon township, Minnehaha county, where he has spent his entire life. His birth occurred on section 17, on the 30th of April, 1874, his parents being Jonas and Fredericka Carlson. In 1868, the father emigrated from the northern part of Sweden to the United States, locating in Illinois, where he spent five years. On the expiration of that period, in 1873, he came to Minnehaha county, South Dakota, and took up a homestead in Brandon township. He subsequently extended the boundaries of his farm by purchasing a forty-acre tract and also bought three forty-acre tracts of school land, cultivating most of his property and likewise devoting considerable attention to his work as a carpenter. His demise occurred on the 3d of March, 1895, and his remains were interred in the Mission cemetery of Brandon township, the community thus losing one of its early and respected pioneer settlers and substantial agriculturists. John Carlson acquired his education in the public schools of this state and when not busy with his textbooks assisted his father in the work of the home farm, continuing its cultivation when his school days were over. He lost his father when twenty-one years of age and then started out as an agriculturist on his own account, having since devoted his attention to the operation of a farm of two hundred acres in Brandon township, in which his mother has a life interest In this connection he has won a gratifying measure of prosperity, arid his well improved property presents a most attractive appearance. He is a stockholder in the farmers, elevator at Corson and the telephone company. On the 18th of December, 1901, Mr. Carlson was united in marriage to Miss Hilda Nordstrom, a daughter of Jonas and Margaret Nordstrom. Her father, who has passed away, was a prominent pioneer agriculturist of this state and is mentioned at greater length on another page of this work. Our subject and his wife have two children, Elof Eugene and Helen Elizabeth, who are ten and eight years of age respectively. Mr. Carlson gives his political allegiance to the republican party and has served as a member of the town board, making a most commendable record in that connection. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Lutheran Mission Friends church. In motoring he finds much pleasure and recreation. He is public-spirited and progressive and is always ready and willing to do his utmost to advance the general welfare of the community, having proven to be a most desirable citizen in every sense of the word.
