George Bergland is a native of Sweden, and is a son of Andrew B. and Louisa (Benjaminson) Bergland, who were natives of the same country. Mr. Bergland remained at home with his parents until he was twenty-five years of age, working on the farm for his father, and obtaining what education he could at the district schools of his native country. In 1869 he immigrated to America, and first went to Minnesota, where he remained only six months, then came to Kane County, and worked at farming for various people. In 1875 he bought the property he now owns of Delos Norton, containing ninety-one acres, having since added seventy-one acres, which place he has improved to the extent of about $3,000. It is well stocked with fine graded cattle for dairy purposes.
April 10, 1876, Mr. Bergland married Louisa Swanson, a native of Sweden, and a daughter of Gust and Eliza (Peterson) Swanson, also natives of Sweden, and residents of Campton Township. Two children were born to them: Florence, born February 15, 1878, and Minnie, born January 26, 1883, died in infancy. Mr. Bergland has recently built a fine large store near Wasco Station on the line of the Minnesota & North-Western Railroad in which he is keeping a general country store and the post office, having been petitioned by the people to that office. In Politics he is a Republican; himself and wife are members of the Swedish Lutheran Church.
