BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY.
Mr. Eriekson was born in Denmark on March 14, 1868, a son of Hans Erickson, who now lives in his native country at the age of 70 years. lle came to the United States in 1888 and located at Princeton, Wis,, where he resided only two months. Taking up his residence at Sioux City, Mr. Erickson made that city his home three years. Then after a residence of six months at Ashton, lowa, he came to Nobles county in 1892, and that has been his home ever since. He bought eighty acres of land on section 20, Hersey township, and engaged in farming two years. lle then moved to the village of Brewster and at that place en- gaged in the stock buying business, which he followed until the fall of 1907. Moving to Worthington, he formed a partnership with Geo. W. Patterson, and in November the Patterson-Erickson Co. was incorporated. Besides acquiring a half interest in the stock he also became half owner in the 320 aere farm just north of Worthington.
At Brewster on Nov. 7, 1894, occurred the marriage of Mr. Eriekson to Lena OI- son, a native of Minnesota and a danghter of Hans Olson, of Brewster. To them has been born one child-Lillian, born in Brew- ster Sept. 22, 1895.
The Patterson-Erickson company's stock breeding farm is one of the largest in the of Minnesota. Some ten years ago Mr. Patterson commeneed the breeding of thoronglibred l'ereheron horses, pedigreed Hereford eattle, Berkshire hogs and Shrop- shire sheep on his finely appointed farm just out of Worthington. The business grew so rapidly as a result of the excellence and in- dividual merits of the stock bred from the finest selection of animals that money eonld buy, that Mr. Patterson was unable to give the farm the attention it required, owing to his other business interests. It was in 1907 that Mr. Erickson, a thorough stockman, farmer and an authority on breeding, pur- chased a half interest and became manager of the farm. That he is keeping up the high standard maintained by Mr. Patterson is attested by farmers and breeders through- out the state who have patronized their stables and pens and attended the yearly sales. The state agricultural department has recognized the exeellent breeding on the farm by using a number of the Patterson- Eriekson horses and sheep in its experi-
mental department. In May of the present year the company had on hand ninety-three head of registered brood mares and stallions. At the head of the stud is the great breed ing stallion, Lyeeen, several times a win- ner at the Minnesota state fair. Als a breeder of Shropshire sheep the company leads all others in Minnesota.
