         OLE AASE, who is successfully engaged in agricultural pursuits
       in Dover township, Buffalo county, was born on the Atlantic Ocean,
       while his parents were on the way to America, March 16, 1869. The
       voyage occupied nine weeks and he was six weeks old when the family
       reached Dodge county, Minnesota. A year later they settled in Dover
       township, Buffalo county, Wisconsin, where he was reared to manhood.
       His early years after he had passed the age of infancy were spent in
       attending district school and working on the home farm. As he grew
       older he developed an ambitious disposition, even in childhood liking
       to acquire property of his own, and when he became a young man his
       thoughts were turned to the acquisition of landed property. At the
       age of 22 years he became the owner of a farm of 160 acres in Dover
       township, and his career ever since has been that of an enterprising
       and prosperous farmer. He is now the owner of 200 acres. When he first
       took up his residence on the place there were only a few acres broken
       and his land had no buildings on it, but it is now a well improved
       farm, with substantial buildings and about 160 acres under the plow.
       He is raising Shorthorn cattle of pure breed, having a registered
       sire. That MR. AASE has attained a prominent place among his fellow
       citizens is shown by the fact that he served for three years as a
       supervisor on the town board, and has also been a director of his
       school district. His religious affiliations are with the Norwegian
       Lutheran church. MR. AASE is a man of cheerful disposition, with a
       keen sense of humor and a kindly good nature which makes him many
       friends. He has been successful in life through his own exertions,
       and has the satisfaction of knowing that no one grudges him the
       prosperity he has attained. MR. AASE was married June 10, 1896, to
       BELL UNDERDAHL, who was born in Goodhue county, Minnesota, daughter
       of HANS O. and RHODA UNDERDAHL. They have five children: ROSE, HENRY,
       BEN, IDA and OTIS, all living at home.
