Albert
Nahnsen is a well known farmer living on section 18, Dawson township,
and it was in this township that his birth occurred on the 8th of May,
1874. He was a son of Claus Nahnsen, of whom mention is made elsewhere
in this volume. He obtained his education in the country schools while
spending his boyhood days under the parental roof and in the summer
months he worked in the fields, remaining at home with his parents
until twenty-four years of age. The occupation to which he was reared
he has always made his life work and he is now the owner of one hundred
and twenty acres of rich and productive land situated on section 18,
Dawson township. This he purchased from his father a year ago and he is
now carrying on general farming, his careful supervision of his fields
enabling him to gather rich crops annually.
On the 1st of February, 1905, Mr. Nahnsen was married to Miss Annie
Stolley, who was born in Davenport, Iowa, a daughter of John and Lena
(Cruise) Stolley, who were farming people of Calhoun county, Iowa. By
this marriage there has been born one son, Rudolph.
Mr. Nahnsen is a member of the Lutheran church and is interested in the
moral as well as the political and material advance of his community.
His political views are in accordance with the principles of the
democratic party and he always votes its ticket, but has never been an
office-seeker, as his time and energies are fully taken up with the
work of the home farm.
