These good people were born and reared in Norway, and were there married. They came to America in 1887, landing in New York May 28, of that year. From that city they came directly to Menomonie, Wis., where they stayed for a while. In 1889 they bought 80 acres in Sections 31 and 32, Arland Township. He erected a set of log buildings and cleared about fifteen acres. There he carried on farming for many years. He was active in the upbuilding of the community, was interested in church and school, and helped to construct some of the early roads. In 1899 he retired but continued to live on the place until his lamented death, Oct. 25, 1908. His wife died Dec. 2, 1913. They were the parents of five children. Andreas and Ellen died in Norway. Curine is the wife of Anton Moen of Prairie Farm Township. Anna is the widow of Hans Thorson of Norway. Martin, the third child, attended school in Norway, and was thirteen years old in 1887, when his parents brought him to America, was reared on his present farm, and early learned the hard work of farm life in this region. He helped his parents develop the farm and in 1899 took over its management. He has erected a good set of modern buildings, has cleared 50 more acres, has put up fences and has purchased suitable equipment in the way of tools, implements and machinery. Here he successfully carries on general farming and dairying. He has a good graded herd, and raises the crops usual in this region. Mr. Clayton believes in helping every cause which is for the best interests of the community. He is a stockholder in the Hillsdale Northwestern Telephone Co. In 1904 Mr. Clayton homesteaded land in Marshall County, Minn., which he held for three years. Mr. Clayton married Alice G. Baker, who was born in Marquette County, Wisconsin, Aug. 28, 1876, the daughter of Frank and Christine (Nelson) Baker, now residents of Arland Township.
