  GUST JOUL has resided upon the farm in Little Rock township where he now lives

ever since he was five years old, having arrived there with his parents on July

3, 1873. He is the son of the late Nicholas and Bertha (Ulwin) Joul, and was

born in Iowa county, Wis., Sept. 17, 1868.



  Coming to the county with his parents as a child, he went through all the

experiences of pioneer life. His schooling was obtained in the school of

district No. 11, and his boyhood days were spent on the farm. After his father's

death in 1886 he and his brother, Ole, farmed the home place—the northeast

quarter of section 14, Little Rock township—the partnership existing until 1897.

Since that date Gust Joul has owned and farmed the home place for himself.



  He was married in Luverne, Minn., Oct. 22, 1904, to Julia Bakke, who was born

in Norway, came to the United States in 1890, and who, prior to her marriage,

resided in Luverne. Mr. Joul was one of the charter members of the Norwegian

Lutheran church of Little Rock, and he and his wife are now members of that

church. On several occasions Mr. Joul has served his township in an official

capacity. For two years he was a member of the township board, served two years

as assessor, and was township treasurer one year. He was treasurer of the school

board of the district in which he resides for a number of years.
