Anders Pederson purchased his farm in Irving Township, near Black River Falls, Jackson County, Wisconsin on 24 January 1881. It was purchased for the sum of $235 from John and Mary Benson. The farm is described as being the South half of the Northeast quarter of Section No. Eleven and the South West quarter of the North West quarter of Section No. Twelve in the Township of Irving, twenty North of Range Five West, containing 120 acres more or less.
The land was deeded to Christ Pederson upon the death of his father, but the son died only a year later. On 16 May 1899, the land was deeded to Marit Pederson and her daughter, Anna Boreson.
