Early Life
Axel Pehrsson was a member of a farming family in Öja (now in Ystad Municipality) in Skåne, and though his father's death made it impossible for him to continue his schooling after the age of 14, he later completed some adult education courses in a folkhögskola (English: "folk high school"). His parents' farm was of considerable size. At the time of his marriage he bought Bramstorp farm in the same parish, and later took over the parental farm and bought several others as well.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
