Believe this is him in the 1880 census from www.familysearch.org.

Jefferson Township, Vernon County, Wisconsin. John Abrahamson, 39, farmer, born Norway. Bertha, wife, 34, born Norway. Anna, daughter, 2, born Wisconsin.

Found them again at the same place, Jefferson, Vernon County, WI, ED 165, page 4 in the 1900 census dated June 8, 1900:

John Abrahamson, 60, born Nov. 1839, married 26 years (1874), immigrated 1872, naturalized 1890, farmer, born Norway.
Bertha Abrahamson, 55, born August 1844, six children, four living, immigrated 1870, born Norway.
Martha, daughter, 19, born January 1881, single, servant, born Wisconsin.
