Johannes attended the common schools in Sweden until he was about 15 or 16. He may have been a bit wild in his younger days. Johannes, his wife Johanna, and their two children immigrated to the US in 1869. They were with a group of about thirty other families from the same province, including Johannes' brother Magnus They stayed for a short time with the N. B. Berggren family, who were from the same area in Sweden. The Berggrens had settled by Silver Creek, around Mead, NE, in 1867. The newly arrived immigrants probably made the Berggren farm home base while the men checked out possible homestead sites. While there, Johanna died in childbirth and was buried on that farm. Johannes homesteaded in Richland precinct in Sa Saunders County, 2 1/2 miles southwest of what was later called Swedeburg. During the 1869-70 winter, six men including Johannes and Magnus, one woman, and Johannes' two children lived in a dugout on the homestead. They had acquired horses and a wagon in Omaha, and also had an axe, spade, a small stove, washtub, two boards which were probably used as a table and other small articles.

Both Johannes and Magnus needed wives so in 1870, they went to Minnesota where the Swan Deidrick family, probably neighbors from Sweden, were living. Swan Deidrick had four eligible daughters, one of whom was named Ellen (Elna). Johannes married Ellen and Magnus married her sister, Betsy. Ellen had typhoid which killed her father and another sister but recovered after her trip to Nebraska.

There were many hardships endured in getting started on the farm. Johannes worked for a short time in 1870 for the railroad in what is now Lincoln. During that time, the family lived in a tent near Johannes' work. Ellen pastured their cow on land that is now part of the University of Nebraska. Johannes' homestead farm consisted of 80 acres. Being financially able, he subsequently purchased 80 more acres of railroad land.

Ellen's first pregnancy resulted with twins who died and were buried on the farm. Johannes and Ellen were both religious and were founding members of Swedeburg's Grace Lutheran Church in 1870. The first services were improvised and some of theem were held on the farm. From 1875 to 1909, Johannes was postmaster and the area mail was initially delivered to the farm. In 1883, Luther College was established in Wahoo with a board of directors consisting of five ministers and four laymen. Johannes was one of the laymen, borrowing money on the farm to contribute to the college's establishment. Johannes was also on the board of directors and a stockholder of the Swedeburg State Bank.

Johannes farmed and raised livestock for several years. He usually had a hired hand or two working on the farm. He bought the general store and grain elevator in Swedeburg which the family ran for several years. Their daughter, Theolina, wawas known for her business acumen and carried on many of the business dealings behind the scenes. At one point, Johannes, Ellen and their children lived in a residence on top of the store, while Johannes' son Anton lived on and operated the home farm. Around 1906, Johannes, Ellen and their family built and moved into a house west of the home farm while their children Herman and Agatha lived on the home farm.

Johannes was a straight forward man and afraid of no one. He was adventuresome and did not hesitate to take chances in business. He was a big man, about 6 ft. 2 in. He speculated in farm land, and was known to have bought land without making a cash down payment. He probably owned about 1000 acres of land in the area, although not at the same time. He left his wild days in Sweden and led a personally severe life. Upon his death, Augustinus inherited the home farm, Herman inherited the farm west of the homestead, and Anton inherited a third farm. Ellen was a frail woman, very religious and loved children. In addition to her own family, she brought up Johannes' two children from his first marriage, her granddaughter Hilda from 1906-1908, and also raised a foster child Ruth Henrickson.

(From History of Houston County, edited by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge: published 1919 by H. C. Cooper, Jr. & Co., Winona, Minnesota)

John Campbell, the first settler in Money Creek Valley, an early miller and farmer, was born in Scotland, January 1, 1827, and settled in Houston County, Minnesota, in the fall of 1852, after a previous residence in West Salem, Wisconsin. In the following year he built a feed and a flouring mill, which he operated for nine year, or until 1862, when he sold the mill and business and engaged in farming. In the latter occupation he continued on the same farm for over forty-five years, in 1908 retiring from active work and taking up his residence in the village of Houston. He was formerly active in church and school work and at various times served in local office.

Mr. Campbell married Elizabeth Hemstock, who was born in England, August 12, 1829. They have been the parents of nine children, seven of whom were born in Money Creek township, this county. All attended school in Houston County. The record in brief is as follows:

One who died in infancy;

Edward G., now living retired in Houston;

Hattie, deceased;

James, who is engaged in the machinery business in LaCrosse;

Belle who is the widow of H. B. Keeler and resides in Montana;

William, engaged in the newspaper business in Milwaukee;

Benjamin, proprietor of a business college in Jackson, Michigan; and

Lucy, formerly a teacher, who resides in Houston with her brother.

John Campbell, Pioneer Settler

First Settlers:

John Campbell and Nathan Vance, who had been living in Wisconsin, made several excursions through this region in search of an eligible mill site, and finally in the early spring of 1853, Mr. Campbell located 320 acres of land, which afterwards provbed to be in section twelve, and included what is now the village of Money Creek, and the site of a flouring mill. Campbell was a native of Scotland, coming to America at the age of five years.

On arriving here, while prospecting, and after locating the claim, Vance and himself occupied an abandoned wigwam or "tepee" as the Winnebagoes called them. On one occasion, not long after their coming, they were quite badly frightened by a sudden eruption of Indians, who came yelling and whooping in a most blood-curdling and hair-elevating way, but this proved to be an energetic trick on their part, as they made no further hostile demonstrations, and after receiving a few trifling presents, they peacefully withdrew.

As spring advanced, Mr. Campbell broke about fifteen acres, put in corn and potatoes, and also put up a shanty, remaining on the ground a part of the season, being at that time the only man in town and, "Monarch of all he surveyed." Late in the fall he returned to Wisconsin. The next winter, toward spring, in 1854, he returned here with his family, bringing cows, oxen, hogs, etc., and reoccupied his shanty.

He soon began the erection of a mill but did not push it very vigorously, or to completion at once, preferring to wait until the land should regularly be in the market, that he might be certain of a clear title to the premises. After it was completed it was not unlike, as to its primitive characteristics, most of the mills first erected in this region. It had no bolting arrangements, and but a single run of stones. But when the neighborhood had begun to have settlers who had succeededed in raising grain, they resorted to this mill, and the circle kept widening until from far and near they came, crowding it to its utmost capacity, and some of them would have to wait one or two days for their grinds, and after filling his log house, the overflow would sleep in the mill.

After the land was opened up for sale the claim was puchased by Mr. Campbell. The mill was not completed until after that time, but it answered its purpose for a number of years and was most valuable to the whole community. It is a pleasure to record the fact that Mr. Campbell still resides in town....

Manufacturing: The first mills erected in town have already been alluded to, and include the grist mill of Mr. Campbell, put here in 1854, and the sawmill the following year. This latter contained a single sash saw, and was kept in operation about fifteen years. In 1859, Mr. Campbell put up a flouring mill opposite the old one, with one run of stones, a smutter and bolter. In 1861 this mill was sold.....

Money Creek Village: During the autumn of 1856, the village was platted by Mr. John Campbell, the first lot being sold to Mr. Stolls, who erected a tavern and kept it for several years....

Money Creek Township is located in the extreme northwest corner of Houston County. Houston County is located in the extreme southeast corner of Minnesota.

John Christian (Christian John) was a tailor in his native Sweden. He left Sweden for the US on May 8, 1869. Christina and their four children followed three years later, leaving Sweden on Oct 19, 1872. At the time that John's family joined him, he was part of a railroad crew, which built a railroad bridge at St. Joseph, Mo. He had saved up enough money to buy a farm and the family moved to Saunders County, NE. They purchased a farm from a Mr. Benson in Chapman precinct and John became a farmer. The family lived on that farm from 1872 to 1881; their two youngest children were born there.

The Frostroms suffered the usual hardships common to all early pioneers. The house on the farm had two rooms. One room was a dugout with a dirt floor. John made the bed for that room with 10-12 inch pine boards. The mattress was filled with straw. The bed was painted green, and looked like a box sitting on legs. The other room had a lumber floor, a door and two windows. The family carried water from a creek located half a mile south of their house. Their nearest farm market wwas in Ashland. Initially, John had just one piece of farm equipment, a tool he called a header. Christina occasionally walked 9 miles to Wahoo, carrying butter and eggs from the farm, which she sold. She then would walk back to the farm with groceries she had purchased.

During these years, Indians occasionally roamed around the countryside, not bothering the white settlers. On one occasion, John and Christina were visiting a cousin, and had left the four oldest children alone on the farm. Some Indians stopped at the farm, and the children were frightened by their presence. The children were relieved when the Indians were friendly and just wanted some food. The children gave them some supplies and the Indians went on their way.

John and Christina had followed the Lutheran faith in Sweden. In 1874, a Baptist church was organized in Weston and they joined a few years later. In 1881, the Frostroms purchased and moved to a farm previously owned by Frank Staats, and thehey bought an additional 40 acre tract of railroad land. This farm was a little closer to Weston and Wahoo. They lived there until 1906. Then, after a short visit with two of their daughters and their families in Missouri, they built and moved to a house in Weston.

John and Christina always spoke Swedish to each other and their family. They observed their 69th wedding anniversary and died within a short time of each other in 1931 at ages 96 and 95.

EARLY SETTLER PASSES AWAY - UNKNOWN NEWSPAPER OR DATE

Mr. Claus Levin was born in Osaka parish, Vastergotland, Sweden, November 9, 1862. He came with his parents to America in 1868 and lived in Moline, Ill., until in the spring of 180, when the Walins came to Nebraska and settled one mile and a half north of Ceresco and two miles east.

The 18th of February 1887, he married Miss Anna Brodd. This union was blessed with eleven children. Two of these passed away in early childhood and two in young manhood.

Mr. Walin's health has been failing the past three years. He suffered silently and patiently and the end came on beautiful Easter day at 10 o'clock in the morning.

He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Anna Walin, seven children eleven grandchildren, many other relatives and a host of friends. The children are: Mrs. Theodore Anderson, Carl, Mrs. Herbert Nelson, Mrs. Henry Heiser, Mrs. Edward Heiser, Mrs. Willie Widman and Edward.

He was confirmed in the Lutheran Church Swedeburg, where he remained an active and faithful member until 1919. At that time Immanuel Church as organized in Ceresco, and Mr. Walin became a charter member. At the organization meeting he was elected a trustee, which office he filled faithfully until his health began to fail.

Mr. Walin lived a consistent Christian life. Only sickness kept him from attending divine services in the church he loved so much and he was a faithful reader of the Word in his home. He was very generous in his contributions to the local church and to the work of the Kingdom at large. His quiet and unassuming character will be rememberd by all.

This friend has seen the early settlers move out of the sod houses and into comfortable homes and finally to the green hill where ther earthly remains of so many of them rest. Today we lay to rest by their side and by the side of his departed children, until the Lord shall come and say unto him and all believers, "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom taht is prepared for you from the foundation of the world."

The Psalmist says: "The days of our years are three-score years and ten" and thus were the days of our departed friend, being at his demise 73 years 5 months and 12 days.

PAST AND PRESENT OF SAUNDERS COUNTY

CLAES LEVIN WALIN.
Claes Levin Walin has devoted his life to farming and has met with gratifying success in his chosen occupation. He now owns one hundred and sixty acres on section 19, Richland precinct, Saunders county, and derives a good income from his agriultural pursuits. He is the younger of the two living sons of Andrew Walin, a native of Sweden, and his birth also occurred in that country. His natal day was the 9th of November, 1862, and he was about six years of age when, in 1868, his parents emigrated with their children to the United States and settled near Moline, Illinois. Two years later they removed to Saunders county, Nebraska, and took up a homestead on section 18, Richland precinct. The father is still residing upon that place, which comprises eighty acres, and, although he has reached the age of eighty-one years, he is active and interested in happenings of local and general concern.

Although Claes Levin Walin was not yet six years of age when the family crossed the ocean, he remembers vividly some incidents of the trip and he also has many interesting reminiscences of pioneer days in this county, for in 1870, when the faly located here, there was still much land in the possession of the government and the work of development seemed scarcely begun. He was reared upon the home farm and early became familiar with practical methods of agriculture. On reaching mature years he began farming on his own account and for seven years cultivated a tract of land in Richland precinct. He now owns one hundred and sixty acres which is the northwest quarter of section 19, that precinct, and with the aid of his sons operates that place and also the family homestead on section 18. He resides with his father on the homestead and has lived there since 1870, with the exception of seven years.
