purchaser. This was about
the year 1900. While work
ing in one of the Keystone
camps Mr.. Erickson received
a wound from a falling tree
resulting in his death. This
left his wife, with small
child, to seek her own. living
strictly from the toll of her
own hands, but struggling on
she has managed to get along
fairly well.
In the year of 1901 the set
Element received a. great in
crease. The following famiL-
les, Gust Englund, Carl and
John Kallgren and John
Westberg came to Fish Creek
from Ashland. each buying
some fine land just west of the
older settlers.
Just about three years later
two carpenters by trade, p.
HOlmQuist and =. Brodin each
bought farm of 80 acres.
Let us not forget two other
young men, one who has been
here over fifteen years known
as John Nordin, who later
married Mrs. Nolander, and
Peter Wikstrom. the only
single man in the whole com
munity. Still he is brave and
Industrious and from all in
dications we know Peter loves
this place for he too has pur-
chased a forty.
The newest settler is Ole
Smith Of Washburn who in
1907 bought the Hegstrom
place, having lately moved
here with his family.
But why should these PEG.
pie settle in Fish Greek
Why should they leave their
former homes to come to q
place that might seem to you
as a wilderness? Why? Be
cause the land has all the
necessary elements fitted fol
farming; because here they
can live in eternal peace ano
happiness. The travelling
facilities are fine, to the right
lies the Omaha and to the left
about three miles is the n. p.
which affords splendid oppor-
! tunities for the farmers to &C
to neighboring towns. In ad-
ditiOn to these there is a new
town road which is we'll un-
der way-an outlet to Benoit.
In speaking of the soil it is
proper to add that it is made
up of the best of sand and
clay. This is we'll adapted tc
the raising Of various grasses
and potatoes. which are the
chief products. Among the
ravines near at hand we find
the best of pasture land for
the many COWS. 1t is the
great pleasure of the many
housewives to be busily en-
ployed in the dairy line.
Above all things out here,
they have this we'll under
j their control. Here you
hear the hum Of the separa.
tors and the buzz of the churn.
There is one place here
which,every family looks up
to with pride, and that is the
