• Reference: History of Houston County, MN, 1919, Houston County, Minnesota, USA. Albert T. Britson, a well to do farmer, operating 200 acres of land in section 3, Houston township, was born in Houston county, Nov. 25, 1858, son of Andrew and Bessie (Johnson) Britson. He attended school in Houston township and until the age of 23 years resided on the parental homestead. He then engaged in farming on his own account, also operating a threshing machine-a branch of farm industry in which he has now been engaged for forty years. On his marriage in 1886 he settled on his present farm of 200 acres, a well improved piece of property, on which he is raising both stock and grain with good financial results, and continues in the business of threshing at the appropriate season. He is a member of the Lutheran church and in politics is a Republican. Mr. Britson was married in May, 1886, to Christina Traff, daughter of John and Inga (Jacobson) Traff, who settled in Looney Valley, Houston township in the early seventies. Eleven children have been born to them, namely: Nettie, now deceased; Elmer, who is a contractor for concrete work, residing at Warwick, N. D.; Arthur and Ida, residing at home; Cora, wife of Jacob Palmer of Foreston, Minn.; Elvena, Emma, Delia, Melvin and Leonard, who are residing at home; and Nettie (second), the fourth born child, who died at the age of two and a half years.
