GENERAL NOTES

He moved to Isanti County, Minnesota, in 1873, with his parents. He moved to Kanabec County, Minnesota when he was four years old.

The Minnesota Legislative Manuals, 1907 and 1909 say he was educated in Sweden; however, they also say he came to Minnesota in 1873. He would've only been one, thus it's unlikely that he attended school in Sweden.
