Kiron Kountry's Family Farms

Farm Activities


Every farmer had a flock of chickens. The Ernest Carlson family visited some of the cousins of Carl Gustafson in Minnesota and Wisconsin around 1939. All but one of the children of Carl Elof Gustafsson, a brother of Johan Severin Gustafsson and uncle to Carl Gustafson of Kiron, emigrated to the Kiron area around 1900 to 1910. They used the patronymic name of Carlsson and Carlsdotter which became Carlson in the USA. Most found farms in the Alta and Marathon area. Some moved to Wisconsin and Minnesota.
