• Reference: History of Fillmore County, Minnesota: Fillmore County, MN. A. R. Tungland, proprietor of the "Evergreen View" farm, has lived in Rushford township for nearly forty years. He was born in Norway September 27, 1852, and in 1873 sailed for America and came directly to Rushford by way of Quebec. After living for two years with a sister on Pine river, he went to Arendahl, worked out for a time and later rented a farm, thus covering a period of about size years. He then bought a farm two miles south of the village of Peterson, where he lived and farmed for ten years. In 1881 he purchased his present valuable farm and moved to what has since been appropriately named "Evergreen View." He has equipped it well with the necessary implements and machinery and stocked it with live stock. He has a herd of 65 to 75 cattle, some of which are full blooded Shorthorns. He raises annually from 65 to 70 head of Poland China hogs, and keeps from 12 to 15 head of Percheron horses for farm work and driving. In 1905 he erected a large barn which is conveniently planned. His grounds are well kept and are artistically arranged with the evergreen trees and shrubs with first suggested the name of the home farm. Of the 240 acres in the entire farm, about 200 are under cultivation, and the whole work is handled by the proprietor and his family. He also owns 160 acres in Ward county, North Dakota, which he rents. In the Lutheran church, of which is a member, he is assistant to the minister. In political inclinations he is a Republican, but has never cared for public office. He was for twelve years treasurer of school district 160 and is stockholder in the Farmers' Elevators, both at Rushford and Peterson. On the eleventh day of March, 1881, he was united in marriage with Gunhild Reishus, who proved a loving wife and mother, and to this union were born eleven children. The youngest died in infancy. Rudolph Edward now lives in South Dakota. Anna Gulina married Frank Manion. Aletta Tressa, Even Olavas, Minnie Johanna, Amos Gerhard, Emma Clarise, Mabel Josephine and Alice Gorgina are at home. Mary Olga married Antone Knudson, of South Dakota. Mrs. Gunhild (Reishus) Tungland died October 17, 1911.
