Magnus Mytroen, a modern and progressive farmer of Section 32, Arland
Township, where he has built up an excellent place which is a model in
every respect, is a native of this township, born Feb. 2, 1884, the son of
Ole 0. and Ingrid (Westeras) Mytroen, early settlers. He was reared on the
home place, and received his educational training in the district schools.
In 1907 he bought his present place, and two years later, in 1909, moved
into it. To the development and operation of this farm he has since devoted
his attention. In 1920 he put up a modern 8-room bungalow, equipped with
many conveniences, including the Swanlite Electric system. In 1916 he built
a barn, 32 by 64 feet, with full basement, and furnished with the Western
Barn equipment. He has also erected some other good buildings. He has
cleared about 20 more acres of the land, and has put up some good fences.
His equipment in tools, implements and machinery is excellent. Mr. Mytroen
is a man of ability and influence, and is already well along the road to
success. He is a stockholder in the Prairie Farm Co-operative Association.
Mr. Mytroen was married in Arland Township in 1909 to Marie Moen, who was
born in Prairie Farm Township Oct. 29, 1886, the daughter of Anton and
Gurina (Clayton) Moen. This union has been blessed with two children. Ida
G. was born May 31, 1910. Mabel A. was born June 24, 1913. The family faith
is that of the Concordia Church in Arland Township.
