History
Knute Mattsson was born in 1890 in Kristianstads, Sweden. At age 17 he left Sweden and arrived in North Dakota in 1907 with his cousin Carl Pearson. In 1909 he came to Southern Alberta and was one of the first to break land in Pendant d'Oreille. He later married Hilda Fogelberg, who had three young daughters, Thea, Elisabeth Helga, and Hilda. After many years of building up the homestead and developing a threshing business with his brother, Knute sold his property in 1970.
