      GUNDER H. SUNDAHL is one of the leading farmers in the southeastern portion of
Acton township. He is a son of Halver and Mary Sundahl, and was born in Norway, on
the 28th of July, 1846. He remained in his native land until 1870, when he came to
the United States, and first stopped in Iowa, where he worked at railroad work for
three years. In 1873 he came to Litchfield, and for two years was employed by
various farmers in the neighborhood, after which for two years he ran a ditching
machine. He then purchased a farm of 152 acres on section 25, Acton township, where
he has since lived, devoting his time to diversified farming and stock raising. He
has been very successful, and now has a good lot of stock gathered about him. His
farm is in a good location and he has a considerable portion of it under
cultivation.

  Mr. Sundahl was married in 1878 to Miss Christina Olson, who was born on the 12th
of July, 1856. She was a daughter of Andrew Olson, who was killed by the Indians in
September, 1862, a short distance from where Mr. Sundahl now lives. A full account
of this matter is given elsewhere. Mr. and Mrs. Sundahl have had the following
children born to them: Halver, born December 31, 1878; Andrew, born August 28, 1880;
Matilda, born March 29, 1881; and Lura, born March 18, 1884. Mr. Sundahl takes an
active interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of his township, and is one
of its leading citizens. He is a republican in political matters.
