Nels K. Midlang owns a well improved farm of 166 acres in Brookfield township. He was born in Norway, 1850. When seven years of age his parents emigrated to Boone Co., Ill., where they live. Nels there grew to manhood on his father's farm. In 1875 he came to Worth county and purchased the farm on which he now resides, and after remaining about three months, went back to Boone county, but in 1878 returned to Worth county, and improved his land. The next year, 1870, he returned to Illinois, and Sept. 29, 1870, married Emma Johnson, a native of Norway, born in 1852. They are the parents of one child - Clifford J. The family are members of the Lutheran Church.
