John Rudberg also came in 1866, a busy immigrant year for the town. John took up a homestead in section 26. He moved into the village in 1875 and, along with his brothers Louis and Jonas, bought into the business of Charles Morris who had the pioneer general merchandise store. It was called Morris & Rudberg Bros. and they remained in business until 1881. Then, selling out, John and brother Louis bought the Dassel lumber yard, and also started a furniture business. Louis Rudberg died in January 1884, and John operated the entire business from that time on. Madison DeLong came in 1867 and took up a claim on section 34. He became the town supervisor for eight years, and also an assessor for four. Henry Clay came to Dassel with his parents in the spring of 1868 and he settled on section 28. After serving in the Civil War, Henry came back home to take up his own claim on section 32. He started working for the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railroad Company, building snow fences. In December 1887, he moved into town, and, on May 1, 1887, he took possession of the post office, having been appointed to that position. Erick W. Nelson came with his parents in 1868, when he was 12. After his parents died, he left the farm and came to the village to work as a clerk in a store until May 1886, when he embarked in the saloon business with N. J. Lind.
