"Sever Amundson was born in Valders, Norway, October 28, 1848. At the age of 18 he came to America, accompanied by his father, six brothers and sisters. His mother emigrated with the family but passed away on the ocean. They came to Wisconsin, settling on a homestead in Lower Plum Creek.
In December, 1869, he was united in marriage to Ingeborg Olsdatter Thorstuen, a girl who had been his neighbor in Norway. They lived in Plumb Creek until 1904, when they moved to Whitehall, purchasing a home on Abrams stret, where they have resided.
Three years ago his health began to fail. During the last three months he was confined to his bed, and died Monday noon, April 18.
Funeral services were held Saturday at 1:30 at the home and 2 o'clock at Our Saviour's Lutheran church, the Rev. O.G. Birkeland officiating. A group from the Senior choir sang "Jesus Lover of My Soul," "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," and "Jeg Ved Meg en Sovn i Jesus Navn." Burial was in Lincoln cemetery with Henry Larson, Dr. F.E. Van Sickle, Herman Briggs, G.B. Anderson, W.J. Webb and Gabe Nelson as pallbearers. Flowers were carried by Mmes. Melvin Elstad, F.E. Van Sickle, Frank Caswell and Adolph Hanson.
