The father was a shoemaker and farmer, and continued these occupations until his death in 1887. The mother died in 1867.
Sever was educated in the district schools and as a young man, worked out.
In 1888 he purchased eighty acres in section 5, Racine township, and eighty acres in Frankford township. Here he carries on general farming, raises Durham cattle for dual purposes, and has a fine drove of Red Jersey pigs.
Mr. Temanson is an independent Republican.
He was road overseer one year, school director two years, school treasurer fifteen years and has served in other positions of public and private trust and honor, including two years' work as a member of the town board. He has been a director of the Grand Meadow creamery seven years and is also a director of the Farmers' store at Spring Valley. His wife, Andrine, whom he married March 18, 1886, was born June 15, 1865, and died June 21, 1907.
The Temanson home has been blessed with ten children: Ida, Sanford, Ely, Mattie, Albert, Alice, Martha, Toulo, Milton and Thelma. Ida married Halvor Hanson, of Racine, and Sanford is a clerk in a store in North Dakota. The rest are at home.
