• Biography: History of Fillmore County, MN, 1912, Fillmore County, MN. BREMMER JOHN A.
BOOK - HISTORY OF FILLMORE COUNTY, MN., VOLS. 1 & 2, PUBLISHED IN 1912. John A. Bremmer was born in Arendahl township October 2, 1882, son of Augund A. and Christie (Sviggum) Bremmer; the former was a native of Sogen, Norway, and the latter of Fillmore county. The father, after his arrival in this country, came west to Minnesota and bought a home and farm, broke and grubbed the land, cultivated it and carried on general farming. He was a member of the town and school board and also served as road overseer. He was a stockholder in the Peterson elevator. He died October 30, 1911. John A. Bremmer was educated in the common schools near home and supplemented his studies with a course in the Southern Minnesota Normal College of Austin. For some time after leaving school, he assisted his father on the farm, but in 1909 rented his mother's farm of 230 acres, which he operates on shares. He is now engaged in diversified farming and raises Durham cattle, Poland-China hogs, and good horses for general farm work. In political views, Mr. Bremmer is a staunch Republican, but he has not been a seeker of public office. He owns shares in the Arendahl creamery and has other business interests. On March 20, 1907, he married Elizabeth Arsvold, who was born in 1881, daughter of Thomas P. and Anna (Boyum) Arsvold, the former of whom was born in Norway and the latter in Wisconsin.
