CHARLES HYLANDER, of the firm of Hylander Bros., was born May 2, 1849, in Sweden. He is the youngest of nine children born to J. M. and Anna S. (Malmberg) Hylander, both natives of Sweden.
Charles lived with his father until 16 years of age; he then entered a store in Helsingborg for three years, when he came to the United States and settled in Porter County; here he worked at different things until 1874; he then ran a restaurant for some years.
In June, 1881, he, with his brother, bought their present building and established a dry goods, grocery, hat, cap and queensware store, and built up one of the best trades in the city. He was elected Justice of the Peace, but did not qualify. He was a Republican until Grant's second administration, when he joined the Democratic rants, but on the formation of the Greenback party he voted with that; he is now independent.
The brothers are both excellent business men, and among our enterprising citizens.
Charles was married in 1874, to Lina Swanson, a native of Sweden. They have had three children - Ida M., Matilda M., and Charles O., Jr.
