                   Yxe is a company village that owned farms and mines.  Between 1667 &
1891
230 families lived on Yxe.  The nearest town was Lindesberg which also
was the name of the parish. The name of farm where August was born was
Hogasen under Yxe, which presume meant south of Yxe. August's father
was
Anders Andersson and his grandfather was Anders Ersson who worked
for the
Yxe company as a Dagkarl [ Dayman ].
          August emigrated to Red Wing, Minn. in 1881 to work for the
Railroad.
He stayed at a boarding house where he met and married Anna Brita
Jonson who
came to America in 1882.  They moved to Cannon Falls where Fred and
William
were born.  Work ended in that area and they heard there was railroad
work in the North Branch-Cambridge area.  That proved false and they
ended up
homesteading the farm where they spent the rest of their life.
