Carl Frederick Claesson of Sweden

Carl Frederick Claesson (1837-1916)



The following is based on biographies published in the 1912 "History of Crawford County Volume II":

Son:  ALFRED J. CLAUSON
Among the leading men of Stockholm township, Alfred J. Clauson has won recognition by special ability both as a farmer and a public official. He is a native of Sweden, born October 20, 1865, a son of Carl Frederick Clauson, who is a son of Claus and Anna Clauson, both of whom died in the old country. There were eight children in their family, two of whom besides C. F. are now living, namely: Swan A., who still makes his home in Misterhult, Sweden; and Charlotte, the wife of N. P. Erickson, of Alcester, South Dakota.

C. F. Clauson was educated in the common schools of his native land and continued in Sweden until 1868, when he came to America, locating in Stockholm township, Crawford county, Iowa. He is now living upon the old homestead, which comprises three hundred acres and is one of the valuable farms of the township, having been greatly improved under his directions. He was married in Sweden to Miss Helen Pearson, a daughter of John and Sarah Pearson. To this union eleven children were born, six of whom are now living, namely: John A. and Alfred J., both of whom make their home upon their father's farm; William, of Crawford county; Edward, of Kiron; Ida, the wife of Ed Anderson, of Crawford county; and O. E., also of this county. The beloved wife and mother passed away in April, 1892. She was a woman of excellent character and many admirable attributes which greatly endeared her to those with whom she was associated. Mr. Clauson is a member of the Baptist church and politically gives his support to the republican party. He has served as school director and road superintendent, displaying the same interest in public affairs that he exercised in his own business. For more than forty years identified with Crawford county, he is justly regarded as one of its leading and substantial citizens. He has shown those elements of courage, energy and perseverance which are so important in accomplishing worth objects in life, and his success in his adopted country is the result of the wise application of those principles. He is now living retired and younger members of the family have assumed the responsibilities and labors necessary in the maintenance of the farm.

Alfred J. Clauson, whose name introduces this review, came to America with his parents in early childhood and was reared in Stockholm township. He was educated in the public schools and continued to assist his father upon the home farm until twenty-seven years of age, when he began farming upon his own account by renting land. After two years he rented the old homestead, upon which he has since lived. He makes a specialty of raising red polled cattle and Duroc Jersey hogs, and as he understands how to take care of farm animals and handles only the best grades he has met with deserved success. The position he has attained in the respect of those who know him is the result of faithful application and a deep interest in a work to which he is devoting the best energies of his life.

In 1893 Mr. Clauson was united in marriage to Miss Lottie Anderson, who was born in Sweden in 1866. Five children have blessed this union, namely: Edith, Ethel, Ruth, Lillie and Myrtle. Mr. and Mrs. Clauson are active members of the Baptist church of Kiron and are rearing their children in the same faith and also giving them every desirable advantage of education. Politically he supports the Republican party and has been very active in its councils in his part of the county. He served as township clerk one term, justice of the peace two terms and is now member of the school board and assessor of the township, having filled the latter position very acceptably for the last nine years. He is a man of high character and great perseverance and he generally succeeds in what he undertakes. He is thoroughly practical in his work and his name is associated with improvement in public as well as in private affairs, no man in the township ranking higher than Alfred J. Clauson.

Son:  CHARLES WILLIAM CLAUSON

For sixteen years William Clauson has been engaged in the cultivation of a farm in Stockholm township. A native of Crawford county, his birth occurred on the 14th of July 1869, a son of C. F. and Catherina Clauson, who emigrated to the United States from Sweden in 1868, and located upon a farm in Stockholm township, where the father continues to live at the venerable age of seventy years. The mother, however, passed away on the 10th of April 1892. Fourteen children were born to them, five of whom still survive: Alfred J., a resident of Crawford county; William, our subject; Edward E., living in Kiron; Otto E., also of this county; and Eda C., now Mrs. Edward Anderson, of Crawford county.

The education of William Clauson was acquired in the district schools of Crawford county. He has always been engaged in agricultural pursuits first assisting his father in the management of the homestead, following which he rented eighty acres in 1895 which he has farmed continuously since. He has met with reasonable success in his undertakings and has invested in a forty acre tract on section 21, Stockholm township. Although he is engaged in general farming he devotes considerable energy to stock raising, in which he is meeting with gratifying returns.

On the 19th of January 1895, Mr. Clauson was united in marriage to Miss Annie Naslund, a daughter of John and Sarah M. (Hanson) Naslund. Two children were born unto Mr. and Mrs. Naslund: Annie, and Peter, a resident of Crawford county. Mr. and Mrs. Clauson have become the parents of five children, two of whom, Edward and Myrtle, the second and third in the order of birth, have passed away. The others are: Clarence, Eldon and Mabel, all of whom are at home.

The religious views of the family are indicated by their membership in the Baptist church of Kiron. Mr. Clauson votes in accordance with the dictates of the Republican party and always takes a prominent part in local politics, having held various offices in his township and is now serving as constable. He is well regarded in the community where he has spent his entire life and has many friends who esteem him for his worthy qualities as a citizen and neighbor.

Son:  EDWARD E. CLAUSON
Prominent among the business men of Kiron and vicinity is Edward E. Clauson, a member of the firm of Clauson Brothers, for the last eight or nine years a flourishing concern of Crawford county. He was born in this county, February 8, 1871, a son of C. F. and Katherine (Johnson) Clauson, both natives of Sweden. They came to America in 1865 and located on a farm in Stockholm township, which became the family homestead. The mother passed away about 1890, but the father
is now living at his old home and has arrived at the age of seventy years. Fourteen children
were born to them, five of whom still survive, namely: Alfred J., William C., Edward E., Otto E.
and Eda C., now Mrs. Edward Anderson. All reside in Crawford county.

Edward E. Clauson was reared under the protecting influence of a good home and received his early education in the district schools. He assisted his father in farm work until twenty years of age and then, being attracted to mercantile pursuits, entered the employ of N. L. Hunts, the owner of a general store at Deloit, where he continued for four years, also filling the position of assistant postmaster. He next came to Old Kiron and clerked in a store for two years, also filling the position of postmaster in this town about ten years. In 1902 he moved to new Kiron and has since been engaged in the furniture and undertaking business under the title of Clauson Brothers and has served for six years as postmaster. He is a man who possesses a variety of talents and as an auctioneer he has gained an enviable reputation in this section. He is thoroughly wide-awake and energetic, and as he has the confidence of the community his efforts are yielding handsome returns.

In February 1901, Mr. Clauson was united in marriage to Miss Anna Lundberg, who was born in Sac county, Iowa, a daughter of Axel and Matilda Lundberg, both of whom are natives of Sweden. They came to America in the '60s and located in Sac county, where they now reside. There were nine children in their family, all of whom are still living. Four children came to bless the union of Mr. and Mrs. Clauson, namely: Raymond B., Berniece O., Newell F. and Ralph C.

Mr. and Mrs. Clauson are both earnest members of the Free Mission church, in which he takes an active interest and served for eleven years as superintendent of the Sunday school, being now treasurer of the same organization. Politically he gives his support to the Republican party, and although he has not urged claims for office, he was the first treasurer of Kiron. The excellent business ability of Mr. Clauson is exemplified in the prosperity of the firm with which he is connected, and his reliability is beyond question. His life has been characterized by principles of industry and justice which are recognized the world over as of enduring worth.

Son:  OTTO E. CLAUSON
Among the young business men of Crawford county who are every year advancing to greater responsibilities is Otto E. Clauson of Kiron. He has from the beginning of his business career shown an ability and interest in his work which gives bright promise as to the future. He was born in Stockholm township, August 9, 1876, son of C. F. and Kathrine (Johnson) Clauson, mention of whom is made in the sketch of Edward Clauson, elsewhere in this work.

Mr. Clauson of this review grew to manhood under the paternal roof and attended the district schools, where he secured the foundation of an education that has assisted him very materially in his contact with the world. At eighteen years of age he began farming on his own account by renting part of his father's land, which he cultivated industriously for seven years. He then purchased twenty acres in Stockholm township and also a house and lot in Kiron. In 1904 he took up his residence in town and entered into partnership with his brother in the furniture and undertaking business. They also handle real estate, and as they are active and efficient and pay close attention to the needs of their patrons, they have attained a gratifying measure of prosperity. In 1901 Mr. Clauson was united in marriage to Miss Emma Lundberg, who was born in Sweden, a daughter of John and Anna Lundberg. The parents came to this country and located in Sac county, Iowa, where the father is now living, the beloved mother having passed away in 1910. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Clauson, namely: Leslie Myron, and Eveline and Emma, both of whom are deceased. In 1904 the mother of these children was called from earthly scenes and in 1905 Mr. Clauson was married to Miss Alfena Lillieholm, who was born in Rockford, Illinois, and is a daughter of A. F. Lillieholm.

Politically, Mr. Clauson ever since reaching manhood has given his support to the Republican party. He has taken quite an active and influential part in public affairs, serving as assistant postmaster of Kiron for six years and as mail carrier for three years. He has also held the office of justice of the peace and school director of Stockholm township and was a member of the town council of Kiron for six years. He is not connected with any religious denomination but his wife is a valued member of the Free Mission church. He readily makes friends as he has a genial address and pleasing manner and possesses in a high degree the warm regard of all with whom he associates.
