Via Find A Grave, the following is from the Lennox Diamond Jubilee Book.

Included in the early settlers of the West Prairie community were Mr. and Mrs. Ole Fodness.

Both were born in Norway, the former August 18, 1853 and the latter February 2, 1854.

They spent their earlier years in their native land. Mr. Fodness immigrated to the United States in 1873 and a year later, in 1874, joined his brothers and other early day settlers of the West Prairie community here. His brothers, Abraham and Gulbrand, with other pioneers came here in 1873 and held a claim for him in Grant Township, eight miles southeast of Lennox, on which he filed.

Mrs. Fodness, nee Seneve Koorstad, spent her early years in Norway and later, with other family members joined the immigrant's enroute to America and subsequently settled here. She was born at Holingdahl, Norway.

Mr. and Mrs. Fodness were joined in wedlock May 26, 1879, here, and continued to make their home in this vicinity.

Seven children were born to this union, all of whom are living. These are: Mrs. Louis (Mary) Lind, Mrs. Henry (Anna) Hanson, Mrs. Thomas (Carrie) Clark, Cornelius, Theodore, Martin, and Oscar O. Fodness.

Via Renae, here is Amund’s entry in "THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND PIPESTONE COUNTIES", by Arthur P. Rose, published 1911:

AMUND H. HERREID (1873) is one of the old-timers of Martin township and can point to a record of nearly forty years uninterrupted residence in Rock county. The son of Hover and Breta (Quammen) Herreid, both of whom are buried in the old country, his earthly career commenced in Hardanger, Bergen, Norway, October 11, 1845.
He was reared on his father's farm, received a common school education, and in the first year of his manhood came alone to America. For the first five years he was employed at farm labor in Dane county, Wisconsin; then for two years he followed a similar occupation near Decorah, Iowa. In 1873 Rock county beckoned Mr. Herreid. He heeded the call and cast his lot with many other sturdy Norwegian pioneers who arrived in those early days. Our subject homesteaded the southeast quarter of section 17, which has developed from a barren waste to a land of fruitful acreage. He is the owner of 240 acres of thoroughly improved farm land, having bought an eighty in section 16, which has been added to the original claim. For many years Mr. Herreid served as a school director in his district. He and his family belong to the Norwegian Lutheran church.
At Beaver Creek, on April 13, 1877, Mr. Herreid took to wife Engeborg Danielson, who came to this country from Norway in 1871. To these parents the following children have been born: Haaver A., born February 7, 1878, died July 7, 1908; Daniel A., born July 28, 1879; Bertinus, born April 14, 1881; Gurine B., born April 13, 1883; Randolf T., born October 5, 1885; Anton I., born October 6, 1888, died October 16, 1890; Emelia H., born August 30, 1890; Antonette J., born October 16, 1892; Oskar H., born December 19, 1894; Idvardina J., born December 2, 1898.

Via Renae, this is Ole’s entry in "THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND PIPESTONE COUNTIES", by Arthur P. Rose, published 1911:

OLE SEVERTSON (1872) is one of the early day homesteader of Martin township who has maintained a continuous residence of nearly forty years on the land he filed claim to in the early seventies. A native of Norway, he was born at Sigdahl, Prestegjeld, on the twenty-fourth of February, 1847. When a two year old child he departed from the scene of his nativity and with his parents, Severt and Guri (Gunhus) Severtson, took passage for the new world.

The Severtson family passed their first summer in America at Rock Prairie, Rock county, Wisconsin, where the father secured employment at farm labor. In the fall he bought land near New Glarus, Green county, Wisconsin, where the family home was permanently established. Ole was educated in the district schools and took an active part In the management of the home farm until twenty-five years of age. In 1872 he journeyed to Rock county, Minnesota, and homesteaded the southeast quarter of section 8, Martin township. The first summer he broke ten acres of the land, but the next season's wheat crop sown thereon was totally destroyed by the grasshoppers. With optimistic spirit, Mr. Severtson stayed by the country, moving his family to the prairie farm in 1875, which has since been developed into a beautiful farm home, substantially improved. Mr. Severtson raises considerable .stock. He is an ex-director and treasurer of school district No. 39, and has also served his community as r oad overseer. He is a stockholder in the Cooperative Creamery and Rural Telephone companies of Hills, and with his family belongs to the United Lutheran church.
