ANDREW S. MATTSON, a prosperous farmer whose land adjoins the village of Litchfield,
is a native of Sweden, born September 7, 1852. His parents were Swan and Margaretta
Mattson, who came to the United States with their family in 1858 and located in
Carver county, Minn., where they were among the pioneers. A year or so after their
settlement there, Mr. Mattson, the father died, and in 1859 Mrs. Mattson removed
with her family to Meeker county and claimed eighty acres of Government land on
Section 10, in Ness (now Litchfield) township. When the Indian outbreak began, she
removed to St. Paul, and remained there until after the close of hostilities, when
she returned to her land in Meeker county, erected a small house and commenced
improvements. She made this her home until 1885. She was married to Nels M. Pearson
in 1867, and is now a resident of Darwin township.

Andrew S., the subject of this sketch, lived with his mother until they moved to
Darwin, when the mother conveyed the farm to him. Since that time he has added about
$1,150 in building improvements, and otherwise added to the value of the farm. He
now has 115 acres of good land within eighty rods of the incorporated limits of
Litchfield village, where he carries on general farming and stock-raising.
