Honoring the lives of Anna and Anton Olson
Anna and Anton Olson were pioneers who independently emigrated from Sweden as teenagers; Anton in 1902 from Skåne and Anna in 1907 from Värmland. They met in Chicago and married in 1909.
Anna and Anton moved to Texas in 1911, first to Crystal City and later, in early 1916, to the Taylor area near Austin.
In 1935, Anna and Anton bought their own farm closer to Hutto, Texas where they successfully farmed until their passing.
They had hoped someday to travel back to Sweden to visit family, but never realized their dream.
