  I hfl finns anteckningen "Eli A Nordquist". An experienced man in the construction of railroads and track work, Eli A. Nordquist, a prominent and enterprising citizen of Eureka, was born in Solvesberg, Blekinge, Sweden, January 3, 1863. His father was a fisherman, owning his own vessel, and followed fishing in the Baltic sea his entire life. From a small lad Eli learned to navigate a sail boat and became handy with nets. After completing the local schools at the age of fourteen years, he continued assisting his father in the fishing industry until he was twenty years of age. Thinking he could better his condition in the land of the Stars and Stripes, he came to Morrison, Whiteside county, Ill., in 1883, being employed in construction work for the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad for a period of three years. He then followed the same line of 'work in McHenry and Jo Daviess counties, Ill., for two years more. Having friends in Humboldt county, Cal., who wrote him of greater opportunities and higher wages on the coast, Mr. Nordquist determined to come hither, and in May of 1888 arrived in Eureka. For three months he worked in the railroad department of the California Redwood Company on Elk river, and then proceeded to Oakland, where he was with the Oakland Paving Company for six months. At the end of this time he returned to Humboldt county, where he has been content to make his home and rear his family. The next three years were spent in the employ of the Eel River & Eureka Railroad, on the maintenance of way, with headquarters in Fields Landing. He resigned this position to enter the employ of Edward Vance, lumber manufacturer at Samoa, on railroad construction, and a year later was made foreman, a position he has held ever since. When the Hammond Lumber Company purchased the mills and timber he continued with the new company in the same capacity, having charge of extensions of the road into the woods and keeping them in repair. He is a very careful and painstaking man, and it is needless to say that his work is accomplished in a satisfactory manner to all concerned. In 1911 Mr. Nordquist built his present large and comfortable residence at No. 1337 Wood street, where he makes his home with his family. He also owns three acres in the Glatt Addition, mostly rich bottom land, where he raises hay, vegetables and fruits for family use. Mr. Nordquist was married in Eureka, being united with Miss Betsey Anderson, born in his native town, who came to Eureka in 1890. To them have been born seven children : Clarence, Elmer, Oscar, Olga, Selma (deceased), Walter and Alice, all making their home under the paternal roof. Fraternally he is a member of the Loyal Order of Moose and the Loyal Mystic Legion of America. Both himself and wife are Lutherans, having been raised in that faith.
