BOOK - HISTORY OF FILLMORE COUNTY, MN., VOLS. 1 & 2, PUBLISHED IN 1912. Martin Magnuson was born in Hart township, Winona county, on August 23, 1862, son of Gabriel and Mary Magnuson, natives of Norway, where they lived till 1860, when they came to this country and settled first in Rushford township, this county, the following year moving to Hart township, Winona county, and two years later returning to Fillmore county and buying land in section seven, Rushford township, where they spent the remainder of their lives, the father dying in 1870 and the mother in 1907. Martin was but eight years old when his father died, and consequently the burdens of manhood fell early on his shoulders and he did not have much time to attend school. Even as a boy he assisted his mother materially in farming the home place, and when twenty years of age he rented the farm from her. After he had saved sufficient capital he bought the place, and now owns 175 acres in sections seven, six, five and eight, Rushford. He keeps a herd of from 25 to 30 grade Shorthorn cattle. He formerly kept a large number of sheep, but in recent years has kept a comparatively small number. He has several mules and raises from 20 to 25 Poland China hogs annually. In political views Mr. Magnuson is a Democrat, and though living in a community with a large Republican majority, he has held a number of offices, among which are clerk and treasurer of the school board in district number 160, for a period of nine years. In June, 1888, he married Jacobina Woxland, and this union has been blessed with seven children: Gerhart, Garman, Inga Elisa, Maria Tomine, Clara Regine, Melvin Johan and John Martin. The Lutheran church of Rushford is the family place of worship.
