I am not researching this family, just posting for the benefit of others.

From "History of Fillmore County;" Vol. II; Frederick Curtiss-Wedge, comp.; Chicago: H.C. Cooper, Jr. & Co., 1912; pp. 1073-74.

Andrew O. Boyum, successful business man of Peterson, was born in Arendahl township in 1876, son of Ole E. Boyum. In the district schools of the township, the subject of this sketch began the rudiments of his education, which was supplemented with two years in the Red Wing Seminary, and late a course at Breckenridge Academy, and finally he completed his studies with a business course at Jewell Business College. In 1900 Mr. Boyum came to Peterson and entered the furniture business, which he disposed of two years later, then purchasing a dray line, which he operated for seven years. In 1909 he began buying and selling grain and feed, and in this occupation he is engaged at the present time, being also associated with a monument firm, whose business interests he represents in Peterson. He has for many hears held responsible positions in the township, being the present manager of the Peterson elevator, stockholder in the creamery, member of the council, clerk of school board and road overseer. On September 27, 1900, Annie, daughter of Andrew and Marie (Nesheim) Thompson, became the wife of Mr. Boyum, and they are the parents of Amy Muriel, Almira S., Orel A., Amos A., Elsie B., Rebecca L. and Olive M. The family attend the Hauge Lutheran Church, and are active workers for the support of that organization.
