HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY
Galesburg, Ill., and vicinity, was employed at farm work, in the flour mills, on the C. B. & Q. R. R., and in other general work. In 1857 he moved to Red Wing, which he made his permanent home until the time of his death. His early days in Red Wing were the pioneer days of Goodhue county and, being a young man without means or a trade, he had to work his way into bet- ter things and grow up with the country. He was ambitious and frugal, and as soon as he had acquired a little capital engaged in various small business enterprises-draying, small contracting. ete. In 1862 he formed a partnership with J. G. Gustafson under the firm name of Swanson & Gustafson, and engaged in the sell- ing of grain. flour and feed. At that time Goodhue county was sparsely settled, but in the midst of an active imigration; and these products were shipped here in large quantities from the lower and older Mississippi river points in Illinois. They did a strictly retail business, but a thousand-dollar day was some- times reached. In after years. when Red Wing became a world famous shipping point, one would hardly believe that this fertile country at one time imported such products by the barge load. Upon disposing of this business Messrs. Swanson & Gustafson joined the firm of Simmons, Olsen. Busch & Co., general mer- chants, which continued for several years. Mr. Swanson. how- ever, took no active part in this firm. He engaged in the shipping and selling of horses. and later entered into a partnership with W. F. Cross in the livery business. In 1874 he became associated with Charles Erickson in the furniture business under the name of Erickson & Swanson, and soon after began the manufacturing and wholesaling of furniture. having purchased the Koch fac- tory on Dakota street. In 1880 their business was formed into a stock company and incorporated as the Red Wing Furniture Company, Mr. Swanson acting as manager of the retail branch of the business. In 1882 the Red Wing Furniture Company dis- continued the retailing of furniture and Mr. Swanson purchased this branch of the business, which he conducted for a short time, when same was merged with Charles Erickson's retail store and the D. C. Hill factory and a stock company formed under the name of the Red Wing Manufacturing Company. Mr. Swanson
taking charge of the retail part of the concern. A few years later he purchased this part of the business, which he continued until the time of his death, and which is now conducted under the firm name of A. Swanson & Son. Mr. Swanson was married December 3, 1859. to Oliva Olsen, daughter of Hokan and Hannah Olsen, who came to America in 1854. locating first at St. Charles, Ill., coming in 1855 to Red Wing. Here Mr. Olsen followed his trade as cabinetmaker. He died in 1897 aged 87 years. Mrs. . Olsen died in 1856. Mrs. Andrew Swanson is now living. In

the family were eight children : John Frederick, Henry A., Theo- dore A., Charles A. are now living and four daughters are de- ceased.
John Frederick Swanson, of the firm of Swanson & Ander- son, dealers in hardware, farm machinery and vehicles, was born in Red Wing January 19, 1861, son of Andrew and Oliva (Olson) Swanson. He received his education in the public schools of Red Wing, and began his active career in the employ of Eriek- son & Swanson in 1879, when he was given charge of a branch furniture store at Canon Falls. A year later he entered the employ of the Red Wing Furniture Company (successors of Erickson & Swanson) as shipping clerk, and subsequently be- came connected with the Red Wing Manufacturing Company as bookkeeper and secretary, in which position he remained until 1888, when, on account of failing health, he was forced to retire. In 1889 he was taken into the retail business with his father, the firm being known as 1. Swanson & Son. In 1894 he became interested in the hardware business with John Augustine. under the firm name of AAugustine & Swanson. In September, 1896, J. S. Anderson purchased an interest in the business and the name 'was changed to Augustine, Swanson & Co. They bought the stock of A. F. Anderson and moved to 312-314 Main street, and this relation continued until July 1, 1905, when Mr. Augus- tine withdrew and the firm assumed the present name of Swan- son & Anderson. They have the largest store of the kind in Red Wing and are doing an increasing business.
