Synopsis

Excerpt from A History of the Swedish-Americans of Minnesota, Vol. 3: A Concise Record of the Struggles and Achievements of the Early Settlers, Together With a Narrative of What Is Now Being Done by the Swedish-Americans of the Minnesota in the Development of Their Adopted Country

Carl robert holmen, 412 Nicollet avenue, Minneapolis, is consid ered one of the best jewelers in the city. He has charge of the store and part of the manufacturing plant of Cohen Bros, whose establishment is one of the finest on the avenue. Mr. Holmen was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, August 19, 1870. His boyhood days were passed in attending school in his native city. In 1882, at the age of twelve years, he came with his mother and other members of the family to America, his father having sailed for this country a short time previously in order to have a home for them when they arrived. They settled at Red Wing, Minnesota, where young Holmen soon hired out to a farmer of Wisconsin. For whom he worked two years. Growing tired of farm work, he returned to Red Wing, where for some time he worked for a painter, and later was employed for nearly a pear in a pottery. About this time an opportunity offered for him to learn the jewelry business with Thomas Gaskell of St. Paul, with whom he spent four years, from 1886 to 1890, and during that time mastered the trade of watchmaker and jeweler. The next five years he was with W. B. Smith, of the Endicott Arcade, St. Paul, after which he engaged in business for himself at Cannon Falls, Minnesota. At the end of two years there he sold out to-one of his employes and returned to his former employer, Mr. Smith. For six months Mr. Holmen was manager for Mr. Smith while the latter made a trip South for the benefit of his health. Next we find Mr. Holmen at Farmington. Minnesota, where he Opened a jewelry store, which he conducted for a year and a half. This he sold out and came to Minneapolis, where he has since been identified with that line in a most creditable way.

Of Mr. Holmen's family we record that his father, O. A. Peterson, was born in Uddevalla, Sweden, in 1832, and since 1881 has been a resi dent of America. For more than twenty years he has been an employe of the Union Railway Depot in St. Paul. John A. Holmen, only brother of Mr. Holmen, was born August 28, 1872, in Gothenburg, and is at this writing receiving teller in the St. Paul Savings Bank.
