years OF her life were spent, and here
she grew up to wOmanhoOd and prepar-
ing herself for the vast work of the fut-
ure which was in store for her. In 1929
she was married. In 1858, then forty
nine years of age, she, with her husband
and family, emigrated to America. They
settled at Moline, ILL.,, and here during
those trying days for the early pioneers,
on the very frontier as that country
then was. she showed her capacity for
business, since so admirably typified in
her son, Col. MattSOn. She opened a
boarding house and soon had all she
could attend to, and means for the whole
family were very soon provided through
the work of her hands. In 1860 she,
with her husband and family, came to
Red Wing. Her son, Hans, had arrived
here some years before and established
himself at farming in Vasa, laying the
nrst foundations for that now prosper
Gus settlement with S. j. Willard, of
this city, and here the family took up
their abode. Those were hard times
and dark days for the sturdy pioneers,
but they resolutely toiled on. Mrs.
MattSOn was everywhere, helping in
providing for her family, lending the
hand of aid to needy neighborS and
making her best endeayOrS to advance
the common good. Since her first set
Element there she has made the
place her home almost contin-
ually. She has two sons, Col. Matt
son and Lars Mattson, of Hallock,
Kittson county. One daughter, who
was married to S. j. Willard, is dead.
Mrs. MattSon has retained her mental
faculties to wonderful degree, con-
sidering her advanced age. Her mem
DRY is remarkable, and the ease with
which she recalls everything connected
with the past is truly surprising. She
is refined, cultured and educated lady
in every way, well informed as regards
the current doings of the world, and
for many years was a leader in social
and church circles. Her church work
she still clings to. She is enjoying the
best of health, and often travels alone.
Her grand children living in this county
are Henry A. and Misses Emily and
Mamie Willard, all of this city.

was largely due to his wealth, and that
it was part Of the bargain that his

the election Of 1880. 1t will be remem-
