Emigration 25 April 1889 from Malmo, Sweden, to Liverpool, England; 3 May 1889 from Liverpool via Londonderry, Ireland, to Quebec, arriving 11 May 1889; Quebec to Emerson, Manitoba; Emerson to Kennedy, Minnesota. The trip to Manitoba was usually on special immigrant trains. Scandinavians chose the Canadian route because the fare was cheaper. He was one of four children who came to America with their mother. Ship from Liverpool to Quebec was the Polynesian, known as "Roly Poly" because it was notoriously unstable.

He served in the U.S. Army from 1901 to 1904, serving in Company A, 30th Inantry and Company I, 7th Infantry. He saw service in the Philippines.
