A log house fourteen feet square was built, which however did not serve very long, as it burned, after which he and his mother had to live in a sod house, 12x14 feet, for about one year, when the water drove them out, after which a fame house was provided. As years went by, our subject purchased more land, and became better situated financially. Concerning his earlier life it may be said that our subject was born in Sweden in 1849, his parents were Andrew and Carrie Bowman, whose five children were: Martin, Mary, Carrie, Anna and Andrew. Our subjects father died in Sweden in 1847, and in 1864, he accompanied his mother to this country. They came from New York, to Omaha, where he worked on the railroad about one year. His mother took a homestead, and had to pay every cent she had to secure it. They had to live in any way, until times brightened up. They did not always have enough to eat, or enough to wear, in order to be comfortable. In 1878 this self- sacrificing woman, laid down the burdens of life, aged sixty-five years. Our subject was united in marriage in 1873, to Miss Margaret Hanson, the daughter of Hans and Carrie Hanson, whose four children were Anna, Margaret, Andrew and Oliver. To our subject and his wife were born five children in the following order: Andrew, August 14, 1874; Tura, January 17, 1876; Albert, September 14, 1879; Sadie, April 1, 1883; Arthur, December 18, 1890.

Mr. Larson suffered his first stroke on Oct. 8, 1910, while on a hay sweep working in the hay field, from which he recovered but it left him crippled in his right arm and leg. After his recovery he became unusually active and came up town every day that the weather permitted. When the snow came it became necessary on account of his ailment to be confined to the house. From that time he gradually began to fail, dropsy having also set in, and towards the last he could only get around in the house by holding on to the back of a chair and pushing it ahead of himself. On the morning of his demise he had been up as usual and partook of a light breakfast and on becoming tired concluded he would lay down awhile. His wife and daughter, Mrs. Carl Kammerer, helped him to bed and left in a sitting position and stepped out of the room, when suddenly they heard a slight noise and they rushed back in to the bedroom and found that he had fallen back into bed. Thinking that he had fainted they applied a wet cloth to his head and summoned Dr. Perlee who upon arrival pronounced him dead. His death was not altogether unexpected. For a number of years before his first stroke he suffered from a peculiar fainting sensation when in a company of large gatherings which caused him to be of a retiring disposition and he avoided them if as possible. Oliver Larson was born in Limbeck, Wåmhus, Sweden on Jan. 31, 1844. He landed in Castle Garden, New York, on July 29, 1863 and from there came to Chicago where he remained nearly a year, following the occupation of basket maker. In 1864 he came west to Omaha where he went to work for the Union Pacific which was then being built. Mr. Larson was married to Miss Anna Anderson in Chicago. She died about a year after marriage. July 5th 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Olson in Omaha. They came soon afterward to Dodge county and then on a homestead in Logan township. There they made their home until eleven years ago when they sold the place and bought one adjoining where they have since resided. He is survived by a wife, five sons, Oliver, Andrew, Daniel, Harvey, Edward, and four daughters, Mrs. Wm Ralph, Mrs. Aug. Koehler, Mrs. A. C. Kammerer and Miss Elsie Larson. The funeral services were held from the home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Arlander of Oakland officiating. Interment in the Baptist cemetery.

He had been taken to the hospital Saturday about one o'clock, after a sinking spell and accident at his home here that morning. He had complained of not feeling well Friday afternoon, so Saturday morning his brother John Mattson went to see how he was feeling and found him sitting on a chair but still undressed. He had gotten up and tried to dress, but fell to the floor. He tried it a second time with the same result. He succeeded in pulling himself up to the chair, where he was found by his brother and placed in bed. Dr. Heine of Hooper was called, who examined him, but was unable to ascertain if any bones were broken so Wollmer and Warne's ambulance was called and he was taken to the hospital at Fremont for an X-ray examination, and it was found a bone in one hip had been broken. Due to his advanced age and his already weakened condition the shock was too much for him and he passed away as above stated. Matts Mattson was born in Dalarne, Sweden, September 30, 1856 and died in Fremont September 26, 1938, at the age of 81 years 10 months and 26 days. He spent his early boyhood in Sweden and at the age of 8, he started with his parents, brother and sisters across the Atlantic Ocean. In those days it required seven weeks to make the trip. The family arrived in Omaha in the year 1865 making their home there until they came the vicinity known as Swaburg in the year 1870, where the greater part of his life was spent. After the death of his parents, the most of the time he made his home in Uehling, the past few years alone in his cottage on Main Street. Two brothers and four sisters preceded him in death. Surviving are his brother, John Mattson of Uehling, four nieces and nine nephews, and 15 grand nephews and nieces and 8 greatgrand nieces and nephews.

The early years on the homestead were times of trial and often hardship, as was common at that time. But finally patience was rewarded and more prosperous days came. The homestead was retained as a home after dividing up other land between the children, and here he spent his last days on earth, tenderly cared for by his life companion and the daughter, Mrs. Erick Strand.

Olson Noteworthy among the intelligent and self-reliant men who are ably conducting the agricultural interest of Dodge County is Andrew Olson, who owns and occupies a finely improved farm Logan Township and in its management is meeting with marked success. Coming on both sides of the house of thrifty Swedish ancestry, he was born, December 22, 1872, in Dodge County, where his entire life has been spent. Lars Olson, his father, was born, in 1843, in Sweden, and in 1868 immigrated to the United States, locating first in Omaha, Nebraska, arriving there with but $5 to is name. Subsequently taking up a homestead claim in Logan Township, he brought a wagon load of goods across the country to the small shanty in which he was to live, and for may years thereafter was busily engaged in the pioneer task of clearing and improving a farm. Prospering far beyond his first expectations, he wisely invested his accumulations in more land, and at the time of his death, in 1916, had title to a valuable farm of 360 acres, a large part of which was under cultivation. In 1871 he married, his wife being also born in Sweden. She came to the United States in 1870 and was married in Omaha. Mrs. Carrie Olson is now sixty-eight years old and still lives on the home farm. To Mr. and Mrs. Olson three children were born, as follows: Andrew E., of this sketch; Mrs. Frances Erickson of Dodge County: and Mrs. Mary Erickson, also of this county. Brought up on the parental homestead and educated in the rural schools, Andrew E. Olson chose for his life work the free and independent occupation with which he had become familiar while working with his father, and having inherited 120 acres of land in Logan Township immediately began general farming on his own account. Industrious and enterprising, Mr. Olson succeeded well in his undertakings, his land being now well cultivated and well improved, and amply supplied with farm buildings and farm machinery. Mr. Olson married, in 1908, Carrie Hansen, who was born in Sweden, where her father still resides and they have one child, Lillian Olson, a school girl. Politically Mr. Olson is a steadfast supporter of the principles of the republican party and in 1918 served as moderator of School District No. 84. Fraternally he is a member of the Woodmen of the World and takes great interest in the order.

She was a sufferer from diabetes and last fall spent several weeks in an Omaha hospital taking treatment. A little more than a week before her death she again went to Omaha to begin a month's course of treatment. She was taken seriously ill on Saturday and on Sunday her relatives were called to her bedside. Before their arrival she had sunk into a state of coma, from which she never rallied, but lingered until 10:35 Tuesday evening, when the death angel claimed her for his own. Evelyn Amelia Olson was born in Swaburg, October 6, 1908, and was at the time of her demise 15 years, 5 months and 25 days of age. She was a pupil at the Logan View school, from which she graduated in 1921. After having spent a year at home, she entered the Freshman class of the Uehling high school, last fall, but after six weeks failing health obliged her to discontinue her studies. She was a very able scholar, also possessing a natural talent for music and was an unusually sweet singer. Her sunny nature and happy friendliness endeared her to both young and old, and she was a favorite among her friends. But over and above all other qualities, was the simple faith of childhood which she possessed. Often during her last years as a student at the Logan View school, she would repeat to her teacher the beautiful truths she had learned in her Sunday school class, truths in which she had am implicit belief. Hers was a beautiful life, full of much promise, but the Master hath need of these flowers rare," so Evelyn was summoned Home and now the entire community is joined in sorrow with the grief stricken parents, the sister, Geraldine and the brother, Howard. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon, the Rev. J. S. Benson officiating. A brief prayer service was held at the late home and a mixed quartet composed of Pastor Benson, Harry Stromquist, Miss Margaret Westlin and Miss Luella Sampson sang "In the Sweet By and By," one of Evalyn's favorite hymns. This was followed by services at the Congregational church at Uehling, where Pastor Benson spoke words of hope and comfort, using for his text Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The quartet sang "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" and " We shall Sleep, But Not Forever." Throngs of friends had come to pay their last respects to this loved one and there was a profusion of floral tributes. Active pallbearers, students of the Uehling high school were Raymond Kuhlman; Arthur Suhr, Carl Wedergren, Sherman Westlin, John Rinderhagen and Windsor Uehling.

Additional Notes (1) Source - Dodge County Marriage Records, Book C, Page 108 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Olson, Matts Family by Marie Erickson Olson My grandfather, Matts Olson, was born April 18, 1841, in Berkarlos, Mora, Dalarna, Kopparbergs Lan, Sweden, to Elinos Olaf Anderson and Holknekt Kerstin Mattsdotter. His mother died Nov. 10, 1852, leaving six small children. His father married Maria Andersdotter in 1854. She had a daughter, Margit, who later married her stepbrother, Andrew. Maria died in 1865. In 1868, Matts, who used the patronymics system of adding son to his father's first name for his last name, Olson, and his brother, Andrew, who chose the name Linn, and Andrew's wife and daughter came to Omaha, NE. In the 1870's, their father, brother, Olaf, who chose the name Lindquist, and sisters, Kerstin and Karen, arrived. Sister Margit remained in Sweden. Grandfather got a job with the Union Pacific, building the railway west. I have been told he was present at the driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory Point, Utah, May 10, 1869, but have no proof. In 1870, grandfather went to Logan Creek in Dodge County where he filed for a homestead consisting of 80 acres, the north - - ship 20, range 8 east. The deed given by President R. B. Hayes, was dated Mar. 1, 1879. Forty acres of this land is in my possession. At the time of grandfather's death in 1914, he owned over 700 acres in Dodge and Burt counties. In the early 1870's, he married a widow, Mrs. Carrie Jacobs, whom he had known in Sweden. Her life in the new world had been tragic. In the spring of 1870, she sailed with her husband, Bud Jacob, and two sons, for the U.S.A. The youngest son, born in 1869, had his first birthday on the ocean. Soon after coming to Omaha, her husband and oldest son died of typhoid fever. She laid for six weeks with the fever, then in the middle of winter, was taken by sleigh to relatives of her husband in Logan Township in Dodge County, where she married Matts Olson. Grandfather was active in a Sunday School and entertained many itinerant preachers. On Oct. 26, 1892, the Olsons deeded two acres for a Baptist Cemetery south of Uehling. It is still in use. Grandfather fed cattle. It probably wasn't good for his asthma, but they were his life. One steer was sent to England. Grandmother bore 14 children, but only seven grew up. They were A. B. Jacobs, by her first husband, and the children of Matts Olson who were Eric, William, Alfred, Mary Anderson, whose twin Christina died, Christina Erickson, and Mabel Carson. My grandparents retired to Uehling, NE, where grandfather died in 1914 from dropsy. Grandmother had a stroke and lived for five years without being able to speak. She died in 1917. The Olsons, have too many descendants to name them all, but a vast majority reside in eastern Nebraska. Only my mother, Christina Erickson, held on to the land she inherited, in spit of being widowed at 34 years of age and the Great Depression. At her death in 1959, she passed it on to her daughters, Marjorie Realph, Marie Olson, the writer of this article, and Bernice Clough, whose land, since her death in 1984, is owned by her children, LaNelle, Roger, and David Clough. Marjorie's son, James Realph, of Blair, farms most of this land, as well as doing work in the credit field. He loves the land and the great outdoors. Without the help of his wife, Pam, I couldn't have submitted this article. My mother also bought her parents' home in Uehling, NE, in 1918, and lived there for over 40 years. After almost 50 years in Omaha, my husband, Charles Lorraine Olson, and I built a house on one of her lots and retired to the peace and quiet of a small town. My grandparents would be proud to know that many of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren are or have been active in the field of education, either as teachers or school administrators, and active in their churches. They are carrying on the tradition of making this a better place to live just as my grandparents did when they helped other poor immigrants get started in the New World. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name = Matts Olson January, 1914 Matts Olson, an old pioneer of our vicinity passed away at his home in the east part of town last Friday morning at 2:20 a.m. at the age of 72 years, 8 months and 29 days.

Tuesday Hooper relatives received word to the effect that Lars Peterson, one of the first pioneer settlers of the Swaburg neighborhood, had died on Monday morning, Oct. 8, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. W. Johnson, at Los Angeles, Calif., following an attack of heart trouble. His body will be brought to Uehling for funeral services and burial, and will reach there the latter part of the week, the exact date as yet being uncertain. Mr. Peterson was 82 years old, having been born in Sweden on June 24, 1841. On July 14, 1863, he landed at New York City and went on to Chicago where for a year he engaged in carpentering. In 1864 he and two companions came westward to Omaha to seek homes for themselves and other countrymen. From Omaha he up into the Logan valley and settled on the homestead that is now farmed by his son, Elmer. This was the beginning of the Swaburg settlement. Mr. Peterson was the last survivor of that early band of pioneers. The homestead remained his home until 1898 when he retired from active farm life and enjoy the fruits of his labors. Then followed a period of traveling in the west and a five years residence in Denver before settling permanently in Uehling. Last fall he accompanied his daughter, Mrs. Johnson, and family to California, death overtaking him while helping in the construction of the new home. Mr. Peterson was married on Oct. 10, 1864, to Hanna Anderson at Omaha who passed away on July 23, 1920, after sharing his joys and sorrows and successes and disappointments for nearly fifty six years. He was the father of eleven children, nine of whom survive. These are: Mrs. John Mattson, Henry and Elmer of this vicinity; Will, in Texas; Roy, in South America, and Mrs. Anna Bennett, Mrs. Mae Templin, Mrs. Clara Taylor, Mrs. Lillian Johnson, all of Los Angeles. He is also survived by two brothers, Peter Peterson of Omaha, and Henry Dahl of Keating, Oregon; and two sisters, Mrs. Wm. Keller and Mrs. E. G. Erickson of Hooper. During his long residence in this community he had gained a wide acquaintanceship and held the highest respect of all friends, all of whom now extend the hand of sympathy to the bereaved relatives. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - History of the Elkhorn Valley Lars Peterson, of Logan Township, Dodge County, homesteaded a part of Section 28 in 1864. The first season he broke seven acres of ground and built a dugout 10x14 feet, eight feet high in the middle and six at the corners. This pioneer abode served our subject for five years, when he built a log-house 16x18 feet. The logs he cut on the creek, while the nails and hardware he got at Omaha. From time to time he added to his original homestead until he has three hundred and twenty-five acres of well cultivated land. His buildings are of first-class design, and all shows him to be a man of thrift and order. Mr. Peterson was born in Sweden, June 24, 1841. He is the son of Peter and Justin Dahl, who was of the following family of children; Lars, Peter, Anna, Andrew, Erick, Tena and two deceased. He of whom we write was united in marriage in 1864, to Anna Anderson, the daughter of A. Anderson. By this union ten children were born as follows: Carrie, February 5, 1866; Peter, September 22, 1867; Annie, February 19, 1870; Willie, April 5, 1872; Mary, March 15, 1874; Turcy, March 4, 1876; Andrew, September 4, 1877; Clara, October 3, 1879; Elmer, April 26, 1884; Roy, December 15, 1886; Lillie, December 19, 1886. Our subject's oldest son accidentally shot himself April 13, 1885 while hunting and lived but a few hours. While our subject is now surrounded with a comfortable home he can look back over the days when he had only ten dollars, and that went for flour at Fremont, where he worked by the day. In his political choice our subject is a Republican, and in religious matters both he and his wife are Lutherans. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dodge and Washington Counties Pages 846 & 847 Lars Peterson Having accomplished a satisfactory work in his free and independent occupation and acquired a competency to live on in his declining years, Lars Peterson, a retired farmer of Uehling, is now enjoying a well-earned leisure. Born in Sweden in 1841, he remained there twenty-two years. After a long and tedious ocean voyage he landed in New York on July 14, 1863. Proceeding westward, he arrived in Chicago with 5.00 in gold in his picket, which he soon changed into scrip, receiving $7.50 in that currency. Here he worked at his trade as a carpenter until 1864. In that year he was one of three Swedes selected to find a favorable location for a colony of their countrymen. Going to Omaha, he was there told that the only land available for that purpose lay west of Columbus, but as the Indians in that locality were very hostile the committee decided to form a settlement in Logan Valley instead. The venture proved successful, and Mr. Peterson is now the only survivor of the founders of that settlement. His father, who followed him to this county in 1864, came to Nebraska where he took up a homestead claim and carried on general farming with good results, residing on his ranch until his death, at the age of seventy-eight years. His wife, Justine Peterson, survived him, living to be eighty-two years old. Taking up a homestead claim in Dodge County, Lars Peterson went from Chicago by rail to St. Joseph, Missouri, and thence by boat to Omaha, Nebraska, and before leaving for the farm homestead at Logan Valley, Nebraska, he sent his last $10.00 for flour, purchasing 200 pounds, an amount that by strict economy lasted him and his bride, whom he married in Omaha, a long time. He cleared and improved his homestead of 160 acres, and lived upon it until he had accumulated a sufficient sum to warrant him in giving up active labor, and since 1898 has lived retired, having a most desirable home in Uehling, Nebraska. Mr. Peterson married October 10, 1864, in Omaha, Hanna Anderson, and to them several children have been born, namely; Peter, who died at the age of fourteen years, having accidentally shot himself; Carrie Mattson, wife of a Dodge County farmer; Anna Bennett, living in California; Mary Peterson, of Los Angeles, California; Clara Taylor, also living in Los Angeles; Turah, who died at the age of twenty years; Elmer, living on the parental homestead; Lillie, wife of Dr. Chris Johnson, a veterinary surgeon living near Uehling; and Roy, a resident of California. Mr. Peterson has traveled in the west, after retiring from the farm, having spent five years in Denver before settling permanently in Uehling. He is a never changing republican in politics and a member of the Lutheran Church. 2867 Peterson, Lars - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name = Anna Peterson Dates on Tombstone = Sept. 22, 1846 - July 23, 1920 Tombstone Photo by Stefanie Larsen Spouse = Lars Peterson Maiden name = Hanna Anderson/AKA Anna Bowman Parents = Anders & Karin (Mattsdotter) Mattson Obituary The Hooper Sentinel July 29, 1920 Mrs. Lars Peterson This is to chronicle the passing of one of Swaburg's few remaining pioneer settlers, Mrs. Lars Peterson, whose death occurred at Uehling on Friday morning, July 23rd.
