HARALD KARL SUNNER             1945

	Harald Karl Sunner was born at Kongsberg, Norway, July 22, 1877, his 
parents Karl and Anna Sunde.  He was baptized in infancy in Kongsberg church 
and confirmed in the Hedenstad church, Norway, and migrated to Eagle Grove, 
Iowa in the month of April 1894, at the age of seventeen, and made his home 
for a few years with his uncle, John Brown of Eagle Grove, Ia. until he grew 
to manhood.
	On March 15, 1899, he was united in marriage to Bertha Kjoberg of 
Eagle Grove, Ia.  To this union was born one son, Carl, and one daughter, 
Agnes.
	As he was called to the ministry, he attended both the Red Wing and 
the Luther Theological Seminaries, and was ordained into the ministry in June, 
1913.  And in the same year he accepted the call from the Soldier Valley 
Lutheran Congregation, Soldier, Iowa, where he served as pastor fifteen years.
	In 1928 he retired from the ministry and moved to Eagle Grove, Ia.,
