         OLE ANDERSON, a well-known and respected resident of the
       village of Modena, Buffalo county, where he is living retired 
       after a life of agricultural activity, was born in Norway, Jan. 
       6, 1848, son of EDMUND and CECELIA ANDERSON. In 1851 the fam-
       ily emigrated to the United States, the children being OLE, 
       BERTHA and ANDRENA. Settling in Dane county, Wisconsin, they 
       remained there for a number of years and another child, OLENA, 
       was born. The father, EDMUND, finally removed to South Dakota, 
       where he resided until his death. OLE ANDERSON, who was a child 
       of four years when the family came to America, grew up in Dane 
       county and became a farmer. At the age of 22 years he married 
       GERTRUDE UGLAN, who was born on a farm in Norway called the 
       UGLAN farm, Aug. 17, 1847, daughter of LOUIS and ANNA LITTISKO. 
       She came to the United States with her parents in 1869, they 
       residing three years in Dane county and then coming to Modena 
       township, Buffalo county. At that time came also Mr. and Mrs. 
       OLE ANDERSON as members of a party, making the journey with 
       a wagon and team. The land they settled on was a tract of 80 
       acres in section 10, Modena township, about five acres of which 
       were cleared, though there was no building on the place. This 
       defect MR. ANDERSON remedied by erecting a log house, and he 
       subsequently bought 40 acres more land. He and his wife had 
       brought a cow from Dane county and they also had a horse team 
       for the draught work on the farm. Until 1915 they resided there, 
       engaged in improving the place, cultivating the land, raising 
       good stock and amassing a competence for their declining years, 
       and then moved to Modena village, their present place of resi-
       dence, where they are enjoying the fruits of their many years'
       hard labor. They are the parents of nine children, as follows: 
       ANDREW and LOUIS (twins), who died in infancy; EDMUND, CECELIA, 
       ANNA, LOUIS, second (now deceased), CARRIE, OLE, JR., and EMMA.
