About Ragnild Amundson

From Wisconsin US Gen Web:

Reghnild Evenson was born Febrary 11, 1838 in Valdres, Norway. At the age of 22 years she was united in marriage to Knute Amundson. After spending ten years of married life in Norway they decided to search for a new home beyond the seas where better opportunities were offered than in their native land. In consequence, in 1870 they located about 2 miles north of the village of Dallas where she and her family resided continuously until called home by death. Mrs Amundson was one of the first three white women to settle in this town, Mrs Sorrenson and Mrs Tolifson being the other two.

Her death has removed from our midst one of the oldest residents, and those who know of her and her husband's struggle for a start in life can best understand the love and devotion of that good woman for home and family, and as the years roll by it seems we realize more and more and appreciate the friendship and good works of those early pioneer settlers. Many a friend who reads this will remember the hospitality extended to them in times of trouble. Never was a hungry soul turned away by her without being fed and warmed and with words of cheer.
