KNUD ANDERSON was born in Denmark on March 2, I840, and is a son of
Andrus and Karlina, who passed their entire lives in the old country.
They both were the representatives of good families, and followed the
occupation of farming. Their son Knud, the subject of this sketch, was
reared in the old country and was there taught the art of farming, and
was given a good education in the local schools. He married Anna Nelson
in the fatherland and soon afterward crossed the Atlantic ocean to the
United States and settled permanently in this county. He bought 160
acres in section 9, Rock Dell township, and began to improve the same.
By industry, economy and sound judgment he subdued the wildness of the
place and now has one of the best farms in the township. He has good
buildings and a fine orchard and around the buildings is a beautiful
grove. He is a member of the United Brethren church and holds stock in
the Zumbro Creamery Company. His children are named as follows: Andrew,
S. Nels, Rudolph, Mary, Sophia and Dekmore [?].
