| 106 | C. O. inherited the farm his father (Christian) had purchased in Stocking, Precinct. C. O. is remembered as a wonderful man. He was friendly, ambitious, a good worker and a good mechanic. He was the Engineer for a threshing gang. He also sang well. Carl Oscar Pearson was born in Chapman precinct near Weston on his parents' farm. He attended public schools until he was 17 or 18 years old. He then worked full time with his father on the farm. When he was 25, he began farming on his own.a Marie Olive Ekdahl was born in Mariposa precinct near Weston. She attended local public schools. After they were married, Oscar and Milsa moved to a farm one mile west of Weston. While living there, Milsa gave birth to a daughter who died shorortly after birth. Their son Malvin was also born at that farm. In 1908, after the death of Oscar's father, they moved to the 160 acre farm in Stocking precinct which Oscar inherited. Their other three children were born there. Oscar was left the farm debt free by his father, but his sister Lida, who exerted considerable influence over their mother, had a $3,000 lien put on the farm. Oscar mortgaged the farm to pay the lien. By the time World War I began, most of the Swedish colony in the area were second and third generation Americans. The use of the Swedish language was decreasing. In Oscar's and Milsa's situation, they learned Swedish from their parents. Theirialects were different and Oscar found Milsa's dialect amusing. Consequently, she would not speak Swedish to him, although she spoke in Swedish to her grandparents, John and Christina Frostrom. Also, Swedish had been the language used in the area churches formed by Swedes in the last half of the 19th century. During World War I, non-Swedish members of the community objected to Swedish being spoken at these churches. They claimed that the language being used was either German or so similar to German that speaking it was unpatriotic. Due to this pressure, congregations stopped speaking Swedish in the area churches. Oscar remained farming his entire life. He was friendly, ambitious, a good worker, and a good mechanic. After he died, Milsa moved with her son Lloyd, a bachelor, to a house in Wahoo. After Lloyd died, Milsa continued to live in the house ul 1971 when she moved to a rest home in Wahoo. The home farm was acquired by Norman. PAST AND PRESENT OF SAUNDERS COUNTY: Oscar Pearson, a son of Christian Pearson, was born in Chapman precinct, July 12, 1879, and attended the common schools until he was seventeen or eighteen years of age. He then devoted his entire time to assisting his father with the farm wk, so continuing until he was twenty-five years old. At that time he began farming on his own account and after keeping his bachelor's hall for a year he was married. He removed with his bride to a farm one mile east of Weston, where they resideed for three years, after which he took up his residence upon his father's farm in Stocking precinct. He has since remained upon that place, which comprises one hundred and sixty acres of excellent land and is well improved. He carries on generaal farming and receives a good income from his labors. He married Miss Milsa Ekdahl, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August O. Ekdahl, the former of whom is deceased, while the later lives in Weston. To this union have been born three children; Malvin and Mildred, both attending school in Swedeburg; and Lloyd, and infant. Mr. Pearson is independent in politics, voting for the man rather than the party. He is industrious and displays sound judgment in the management of his affairs, and the success which he has gained is well deserved.

| 108 | Carl is a pivotal figure in the Rudeen family history. As far as I know, he was the first to come to America, and the first to take the name "Rudeen". Although Carl was born in Frinnaryd parish, he moved to Marbäck parish as an infant and grew up at the Eket farm. At age 18, he moved to Askeryd parish where he met his wife, Sophia Matilda Carlsdotter. He left Sweden in 1868 with his wife and two daughters, according to moving-out papers. He and his family appear in the 1870 census in the town of Altona (Knox County, IL). He works for the railroad. According to the history of the Bethlehem Covenant Church, he arrived in Lancaster County in 1872. The oldest daughter, Augusta Mathilda Carlsdotter (also took Rudeen as maiden name in America) married John August Samuelson. Their oldest daughter was Nannie Victoria Samuelson, and her daughter is Martha Burch. Martha has her mother's genealogy information. Martha Burch's address is 2715 48th St., Dickinson, TX 77539. (Martha would be a third cousin of Florence ElDorado and Stan Rudeen.) | Johansson, Carl August (I1542)

| 132 | Charles was born the oldest of 2 children to Salathiel and Lydia Timmons just the year before his father went off to fight in the Civil War. His father came home when he was 4 or 5 years old. Charles and his parents, along with his younger sister Effie moved to Boone, Iowa in 1881, and in 1890 moved to a farm 2 miles north and 1/2 mile west of Malvern, Iowa. The 1880 Census shows Salathiel and Lydia, 45 and 40, live with their children Charles F. 19 and Effie N. in Humbolt Township in Illinois. Effie was 12. On their farm they had an apple orchard and raised chickens. After marrying Emily Bass, they lived for a short time southwest of Malvern, then moved to a farm northwest of Red Oak, then to a farm southwest of Pacific Junction, Iowa. In 1907 they sold this farm and bought a farm south of Ashland, Ne. They sold that farm in 1915 and moved to Valley, NE with their 6 children, and lived on a farm 1 1/2 miles north of town, where Charles continued farming until his death.

| 133 | Christian attended the common schools in Sweden and while still a boy worked as a coachman. He came to the US when he was about 30 years old. His brothers Johannes and Andrew immigrated to Sauk Center, Minnesota; his brother Nils remained in Sweden. Christian worked for two or three years near Ashland, NE, as a farm hand and cattle feeder. He then bought a farm in Chapman precinct, near Weston, and started farming. Johanna came to this country with her parents, probably in the early 1870s. Some records list her name as Johanna Nilsdotter. Christian grew the standard crops for the area and had livestock. The family also had an orchard and a small patch of tobacco. Johanna maintained a flower garden. Like most farmers of the area, Christian brought wheat to a mill in Wahoo, which was ground into flour for home use. Christian continued to farm on his land in Chapman precinct until 1901, when he purchased a farm in Stocking precinct and moved there. Christian and Johanna had eight children. One day most likely in 1876, when Christian and Johanna were outside working, their farmhouse caught fire and was destroyed. Inside were their two children, Peter and Oscar, who probably were twins. The boys, one crippled and the other tied to a high chair, died in the fire. Their next two children were boys, who they also named Peter and Oscar. Christian and Johanna were members of the Baptist church in Weston. Christian was a religious and stern man and a Republican. He had red hair, which he wore rather long as was the custom, and his hair complimented his full red beard. Christian eventually owned 480 acres of farmland. When he died, each of his sons received a farm as an inheritance - or the equal thereof. Fritz inherited the home farm in Chapman precinct and Oscar inherited the farm in Stocking precinct. Johanna lived her final years with her daughter Lida in a small house in Weston. PAST AND PRESENT OF SAUNDERS COUNTY: Christian Pearson was for many years engaged in farming in Chapman precinct, but his last years were spent in Stocking precinct, where he purchased land in 1901. A native of Sweden, he was born on New Year's Eve, 1837. He attended the common schchools in his native land and while still a boy worked as a coachman. He remained in Sweden until he was about thirty years of age, when he emigrated to the United States, and for two or three years he worked in the vicinity of Ashland, Nebraska, as a farm hand for a big cattle feeder. He then bought land in Chapman precinct and carried on agricultural pursuits successfully there for almost three decades, after which he purchased land in Stocking precinct, where he resided until his death in October, 1907. Mr. Pearson was married to Miss Johanna Olson, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nils Olson, both natives of Sweden, who, however, emigrated to the United States. To Mr. and Mrs. Pearson were born eight children, two of whom are deceased, the others being: William, a resident of Ceresco who married Miss Clara Brodd and has four children; Oscar, who is living on the home place; Lena, the wife of Dave Peterson, of Strombsburg, Nebraska, by whom she has two children; Fritz, who is living near Ceeresco and who married Miss Maggie Dobley and has one child; Ernest, who is residing near Waverly and married Nellie Clay, by whom he has a child; and Lida, who is living at Weston and is the widow of Joe A. Novak. Mr. Pearson was a republican in politics and always took a commendable interest in affairs of public concern. His demise was deeply regretted and his friends still cherish his memory. | Pearson, Christian P. (I0571)

From Mary Anne Hrubesky: Scottish Roots - The Duncan Campbells Several further details of the Duncan Campbell family while in Scotland have been found using the IGI - the International Genealogical Index - searching through the "batch numbers" (groupings of marriages and christenings) of various Scottish counties. Clues as to where to look were provided by ancestors of John and Janet Campbell, children of Duncan and Elizabeth Campbell, who had settled in Houston County, Minnesota. 1.
