thumb|367x367px|Peter Nyberg
Peter (or Per) Håkansson was born on April 29, 1869 in Andrarum, Sweden. His parents were Håkan Olsson and Hanna Svensdotter.
Peter immigrated to the United States in 1888 as a young man with his two brothers, Ola and Andrew. He changed his name to Peter Nyberg on arrival, though both his brothers chose the surname Schmidt. Their parents did not immigrate.
On September 1, 1894, Peter and his hired man survived the Great Hinckley Fire by lying in the creek and covering themselves with a water-soaked blanket.
Ellen Christina Lundberg was born on February 2, 1872 in Sweden. Her parents were Karl Ludvig Lundberg and Anna Christina Stromberg.
Ellen and her parents immigrated the US in 1892.
Peter and Ellen were married January 25, 1895. They had six children: Ruth, Oscar, Florence, William, Lloyd, and Lillian. All of their children were born in Minnesota.
When Peter was about 70 years old, he surprised his family by buying an 80-acre farm with a herd of Holstein cattle. He sold this after a few years.
Peter died on September 23, 1948 in Minnesota. Ellen died on June 12, 1951 in Minneapolis. They are buried in Hillside Cemetery in Minneapolis.
