ANDREW SHULSON was born in Norway in 1855; came to America in 1867, and settled in Canton, Dak., and engaged in farming, until he moved to Sioux City, where he entered the employ of the firm of E. C. Palmer & Co., and remained until 1881. He married Laura Lawson, of Canton, Dak. R. J. CHASE, Attorney at law, was born in Unity, Sullivan county, N. H., in 1840; removed with family to Nashua, N. H., when quite young; came west at 17 years of age and settled in Vernon county, Wis. After serving in the army during the rebellion, he returned to Madison, Wis., and began the practice of law; came west in 1873 and platted the town of Sibley, Osceola county, Iowa. Mr. ChaseÕs name, unsolicited by him, was used by his friends in connection with the district judgeship in 1874, and he received a good vote in convention. In connection with O. J. Taylor, he opened his present office in the fall of the same year. The firm has a large practice in the higher courts. |
