AUGUST MOLANDER.
August Molander is now practically living retired. Various
business interests have claimed his time and attention and whatever he
has undertaken has been carried forward to successful completion. He is
still the owner of valuable farming property which he rents and his
energies are now largely given to service as a member of the ditch
board-a service which is of a most valuable character to the community.
He was born in Sweden, January 24, 1870, a son of Charles and Matilda
Molander. The father was a farmer of Sweden and came to America with
his family in the year 1886. In this country he devoted his attention
to agricultural pursuits and also to railroad work for a considerable
period and he is now living with his son Philip upon a farm about two
miles from Ault. His wife passed away in 1902 and was laid to rest in
Eaton. Their family numbered the following named: Anna, who became the
wife of Carl Nelson; Charles; August; Ture, who died in 1913; Oscar;
Selma; Alma, the wife of Harold Balmer; and Philip, who married Hattie
Swanson.
August Molander spent the first fifteen years of his life in his
native country and whatever educational advantages he enjoyed were
attained during that period, but his opportunities in that direction
were somewhat limited and his most valuable lessons have been gained in
the school of experience. At length he determined to try his fortune in
the new world and with his brother Charles crossed the Atlantic. They
did not tarry on the eastern coast but made their way at once into the
Interior of the country, settling at Oakland. Nebraska, where they
began farming, meeting with substantial success in this undertaking. In
the spring of 188S August Molander removed to Haxtum, Colorado. In the
meantime his parents had come to the new world and the father, who was
a very energetic and enterprising man, began farming in Colorado, where
he had better opportunities than he could secure in Europe. He took up
a claim there and August Molander assisted him in the development and
improvement of the farm, aiding in the arduous tasks necessary to the
transformation of wild land into productive fields. He also worked at
times on the railroad, but owing to the unsettled condition of the
country he returned to Oakland, Nebraska, where he began stock feeding,
in which business he engaged until 1892. He then returned to Colorado
and in the spring of that year took up his abode at Greeley, where he
made his home from 1892 until 1895. He has been interested in farm
properties at Ault and Haxtum since the latter year and he also began
farming at Baton in 1895. He purchased land at Ault in 1898 and today
has a valuable tract of one hundred and sixty acres there. In 1899 he
purchased another quarter section from A. J. Eaton and through the
intervening period has been more or less actively connected with
agricultural interests. In 1901 he took up his abode at Ault and
concentrated his efforts and attention upon the development and
improvement of his farm, comprising three hundred and twenty acres of
land. In 1913 he began feeding sheep and he purchased two hundred and
forty acres additional situated about two miles north of Ault. On that
property he remained for four years. In 1917, however, he left the
ranch and established his home in the town and at the present time he
is renting his farms, from which he derives a very substantial annual
income. He is also connected with the Smith Lumber Company and is one
of the directors of the First National Bank.
Mr. Molander was united in marriage on the 18th of February,
1903, in Oakland, Nebraska, to Miss Hilma Nelson, whose father was a
farmer of that locality. Mr. and Mrs. Molander are members of the
Congregational church and his political allegiance is given to the
republican party. He is a director of the Ault Exchange and Is
interested in everything that has to do with the welfare and progress
of the community in which he makes his home. He is one of the
Intelligent, energetic and progressive men of his community who is now
serving as a member of the ditch board and his work in this connection
receives almost his entire attention and is of a most valuable
character. He stands for all those interests which are a matter of
civic virtue and civic pride and cooperates earnestly in every movement
for the general good. He finds his chief diversion in motoring. He has
led a busy life, la a man of generous nature and kindly spirit, and
upright principles have guided him at all points in his career. While
he had many hardships and difficulties to overcome in early manhood, he
has steadily advanced and today is numbered among the men of affluence
in his community.
