OLE MATHISON, of section 26, Hixon Township, Clark County, was born near Larveve, County of Ironsburg, Norway, October 19, 1849, the son of Mathis Gulexon, a native of the same country, who still lives on the old homestead. Ole is the eldest of four children, of whom one brother and a sister are living: Andrine Mathison, who married but did not change her name and Mathis Mathison both of the children live in Norway. The father had one son by a former marriage, who, if living, is a sailor.


After coming to the United States, our subject first stopped in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, for four months, then went to Waukesha County, where he remained until the fall of 1870, engaged as a farm hand. In the fall of that year he came to Black River Falls, and a few days afterward to this county, where he worked in the pineries four winters and three summers for Bright Withee, after which he became their foreman. In the spring of 1868 he settled on his present farm of 280 acres, 160 of which is located here and 120 acres near Thorp, and thirty-five is cleared.


Mr. Mathison was married January 12, 1886, to Mary E. Buyatt, a native of Black River Falls, born August 16, 1866, the daughter of William Buyatt, deceased. They have two children: Bertha J. and Oscar. Religiously Mr. Mathison is a member of the Lutheran Church.
