"Alfred M. Jevne as a boy attended school in Meridean and subsequently helped his father on the farm, remaining on it until the year of the father's death, 1909. He then went to Big Falls, in Koochiching County, Minn., and took a homestead of 160 acres, which he proved up and which he still owns. Then returning to the town of Peru, Dunn County, Wis., he rented the home farm for a year at the end of that time buying 108 acres of it, with the buildings, and since then he has followed general farming here and built up the present Riverside Stock Farm. It is well fenced both with woven wire and barbed wire, and Mr. Jevne has also greatly improved the buildings. He has added a 14-foot driveway to the barn, making it 32 x 81 feet; has built a cement-block silo of 11 x 34 feet; a granary, chicken house, woodshed, has sunk a driven well and put up a windmill. He has remodeled the house, adding three porches and has put up lightning-rods for the protection of all his larger buildings. His house is well set off by a large lawn planted here and there with trees and shrubbery. He has a fine herd of Grade Holsteins with a pure bred sire and also raises Duroc-Jersey hogs. He is a stockholder in the Meridean creamery and in the Meridean State Bank. Mfr. Jevne was married Sept. 14, 1911, to Ellen Robertson, who was born at Meridean, Wis., Dec. 27, 1884, daughter of Robert and Anna (Erickson) Robert- son, and he and his wife are the parents of three children: Paul Robertson, born July 4, 1912; Anna Karine, born May 8, 1914; and Alfred Conrad, born Dec. 20, 1915. The family are members of the Lutheran Church."
