Aslag Benson

Aslag Benson (January 16, 1855 – July 19, 1937) was a member of the North Dakota Senate from 1903 to 1906.[1][2]

Aslag Benson was born in Norway and came to America in 1865. Benson resided in Christine, North Dakota, and was an early settler of that community. From 1889, he opened a general store in Christine in partnership with Austin Johnsgard (1864-1951). After seven years, Johnsgard bought Benson out.[3] He was a Democrat representing North Dakota's 12th legislative district.[2] [4]
