LARS NESHEIM.
Lars Nesheim, an honored pioneer of Minnehaha County, is now living practically retired upon his farm on section 35, Logan township. He was born in Norway on the 13th of January, 1850, and is a son of Sjur and Ingeburg Nesheim, who brought their family to the United States in 1867 and located in Iowa, where both spent their remaining days.
Lars Nesheim passed his boyhood in his native land, being seventeen years of age on the emigration of the family to America, and for seven years he made his home in Iowa. In 1874, however, he came to South Dakota and homesteaded a tract on section 35, Logan Township, where he now owns three-quarters of a section. He experienced all the difficulties and trials that come to one who locates on the frontier, his crops being almost destroyed by grasshoppers and drought. He has made all of the improvements on his farm including the erection of good and substantial buildings, and the place is one of the most attractive in the locality. For many years he labored untiringly in the cultivation of his land, but now leaves the more arduous duties of the farm to younger hands, while he enjoys a well-earned rest.
In January, 1873, Mr. Nesheim was united in marriage to Miss Betsy Hanson, a daughter of George and Martha Hanson, of Iowa. Her father is still living at the ripe old age of eighty seven years. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Nesheim are as follows: Bertha, now the wife of Seivert Dahl, of North Dakota; George, who is engaged in farming in Canada; Ida, the wife of B. Hillstad; Mina, at home; Severina, the wife of L. Njos; Mary, the wife of Walter W. Downey, of New York city; Selma, who married O. Hillstad. Nettie, the wife of A. Larson; Eleanora, who is a graduate of Valder College of Decorah, Iowa; and Leonard, Seivert and Melvin, at home. There are now seventeen grandchildren.
In religious faith Mr. Nesheim is a Lutheran and in politics he is an ardent republican, taking quite an active interest in public affairs. He has acceptably served as a member of the school board and as road overseer, but has always given the greater part of his time and attention to his business affairs, in which he has steadily prospered until today he is one of the well-to-do citizens of his community. Besides his fine farm he owns stock in the Sherman Elevator. It is to such men that South Dakota owes her prosperity at the present time.
