Died in Vernon County, Wisconsin, on this date in 1882: great-great grandfather Amund Amundsen Volden, who immigrated to Coon Prarie in 1857, during the early years of that settlement. His gravesite is prominently placed in Coon Prairie cemetery.

Amund’s daughter Marie, who married Gunder Torgersen Moen, was the only one of my father’s grandparents born in America, the year after her parents immigrated.
