Mathias Anderson, one of the first settlers and organizers of this township, Manchester, was born in Norway on the 15th of June, 1824.

He emigrated with his parents to America in 1851, located in Boone County, Illinois where his mother and one sister still reside.

On the 1st of October, 1854, he was joined in matrimony with Miss Betsey Helga.

In 1857 they came to this township and staked a claim in section two, which is still their home.

In 1860 he met with an accident, one of his cows hooking him, which resulted in the loss of his eyesight.

He married on the 25th of December, 1879 to Miss Argatta Mark, who has borne him five children, four of whom are living.

Mr. Aasen has held town and school offices since his residence here.
