A. M. SUNDHEIM (Anders M. Sundheim)
A. M. Sundheim, manager of the Augsburg Publishing House of Minneapolis, was
born in Norway, October 25, 1861, and is a son of Mons A. and Marie L.
(Kirke-berg) Sundheim, who were also natives of the land of the Midnight Sun, in
which they spent their lives.
A. M. Sundheim was partly educated in Norway and attended college at Valdres in
that country, being graduated with the class of 1877. In the following year he
bade adieu to friends and native country and sailed for the United States,
making his way at once to Clayton county, Iowa, where he again attended school.
He later removed to Shelby county, Iowa, where he was a student in the Danish
high school, of which his uncle, the Rev. O. L. Kirkeberg, was the founder. When
he had completed his education Mr. Sundheim, in connection with his uncle,
established the Dannevirke, a weekly Danish newspaper published at Elkhorn,
Iowa. Later they removed the paper to Cedar Falls, Iowa, where it is still
published. The uncle was the chief editor, with Mr. Sundheim as the secretary.
In 1890, however, the latter came to Minneapolis and entered into active
association with the Augsburg Publishing House, which was established the same
year. He became assistant manager and later was advanced to the managership, in
which position he is still serving. This is the largest Norwegian publishing
house in the Northwest and the success of the undertaking is attributable in no
small measure to the efforts of Mr. Sundheim, who has had a broad experience in
connection with the business and who at all times manifests thoroughness,
enter­prise and progressiveness in the conduct of his affairs. The company today
conducts a general publishing business and its patronage is steadily growing.
On the 8th of August, 1896, Mr. Sundheim was married to Miss Maren Oylo, a
native of Norway, and they have become parents of three children: Marie Inez,
who was graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1919 and is the wife of R.
H. Anderson, who served in the war with Germany, having the rank of lieutenant
in the overseas service and being in action when the armistice was signed;
Marcus, who is now attending the University of Minnesota; and Borghild, the
youngest, who was valedictorian at her graduation from the Central high school
and is now a student in the State University.
Mr. Sundheim belongs to the Odin Club and to the Manufacturers Club. He has
never had occasion to regret his determination to come to the new world, for
here he has found the opportunities which he sought and in their utilization has
made steady advancement, reaching a point of enviable success in connection with
publishing interests, while at the same time he has recognized his duties and
obligations to his fellowmen, so that he has played well his part as a
public-spirited citizen.
