Charles J. Amundson is a proprietor of the Amundson Auto Company, of Osseo.  
This company has the Osseo agency for the Ford cars.  The garage is a frame 
building, 30 by 50 feet, supplied with all kinds of Ford supplies and 
accessories.  The place is excellently equipped for general repairing, an 
electric motor and a lathe being among the special features.  Mr. Amundson 
was born in Jackson County, this state, Sept. 9, 1878, son of Thore and 
Mary (Johnson) Amundson, the former of whom died in Jackson County in 1888, 
and the latter of whom is now the wife of John Larson, of that county.  
Charles J. Amundson was the fourth of five children, the others being:  
Anna, now wife of John Olson, an undertaker of Marietta, Minn.; Theodore, 
who farms in Jackson County; Helen, who died at the age of 17 years, and 
Josephine, now of Eau Claire.  The subject of this sketch was reared to 
farm pursuits in his native county.  At the age of 15 he started work at 
the carpenter trade, and was employed in this line until 1912, when he 
established his present business.  His fraternal relations are with the 
Modern Woodmen.  Mr. Amundson was married, June 1, 1906, to Anna
