    • From Rice County Families, published in 1981 (via Dalby):

      Rudningen Family. 

      Ole Rudningen and his wife, Gunhild, came from Halengdal, Norway, in about 1853 and settled in Beloit, Wisconsin, for a short time. In the spring of 1855 they started their journey to Minnesota in a covered wagon. Gunhild chased their cattle on foot to their new home, a 160-acre farm in Wheeling Township, 2 miles north of Nerstrand. They had 4 sons:  Ole, Sever, Andrew and Adolph, and a daughter, Anna. The children all grew up on this farm and then Ole, Adolph, and Anna moved to Sunburg in western Minnesota.

      Sever stayed on the home place and Andrew homesteaded on 80-acre farm in Wheeling Township, Section #5, and later bought the adjoining 80 acres. On March 7, 1885, Andrew married Anna Hanson and they have 2 sons, Sigvard and John. When Andrew started to farm, all he had was a team of horses, 4 cows, and a few pieces of machinery. One morning 5 horse-back riders rode into Andrew’s yard and watered their horses in the creek; they talked to Andrew for awhile and then left. A couple of days later, Andrew learned that the First National Bank in Northfield had been robbed and that the 5 men he had talked to were Jesse James and his gang.

      Sigvard and John farmed with their dad until Sigvard married Mary Vesledahl and moved to the old home place and farmed with his Uncle Sever until Sigvard died in 1916. John married Theresa Severson, daughter of John and Anna Quie Severson, on March 9, 1927, and they had 1 son, Arnold. John farmed with his dad until 1940 when Andrew died; then he farmed with his son, and all during World War II they sawed lumber for the government. On June 28, 1952, Arnold married Ramond Eisen and in 1953 left the farm.  John continued to farm until 1966 when he passed away; Theresa stayed on the farm until 1969 when it was sold. Theresa died in May of 1980. Arnold is in his 26th year at the Owatonna Tool Company and he and Ramona live on a 40-acre farm in Walcott Township. They have 3 children: Mrs. Alan (Lynne) Minske, Mrs. David (Julie) Kobliska and John William (Bill), and 2 grandchildren--Jason William and Brianna Lynne Minske.
