  Notes	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.
