Andres J. Romundstad was born February 2, 1849, on the his parents farm, Romundstad Austistua Farmhouse, Inner part of the Romundstad Farm Village, southeast of Rindal, Nordmor, Norway. His parents were Jon Pederson Roen and Marit Olsdatter Romundstad Oppistua.
Andres was the youngest son of the nine brothers and sisters in the family. His mother died when he was eight years old. He was baptized and confirmed in the home church in Norway and in 1869 he immigated to America, coming directly to this locality. He worked in sawmills, on the railroad and herded sheep in Montana for several years. About 1872, he bought the farm that became his future home.
On December 17, 1892, he was united in marriage to Miss Karen Imislund. He has been an ardent church worker, and was seldom absent from his place in church as long as he had the strength to be there.
In 1920 he sold the farm and on March 17, moved to Strum where he lived one year. In 1921, he bought a house in Osseo and moved there where he remained most of the remaining years of his life.
Mr. Romundstad never owned an automobile, but he was a great walker and covered the countryside in his walks. Many kind-hearted friends often gave him a ride when they happened to meet him in his walks. When his hearing became impaired, his family feared for his life should he not be able to observe the approach of cars.
The loss of his hearing was one of his greatest disappointments in life when he was no longer able to hear the preaching of the Word of God, but he was diligent in reading the Bible and religious writings as he was able. When that means of fellowship with God was lost to him, he became a very lonely man.
Failing in health last year before his death, he was taken to his farm again where his daughter, Nora Romundstad (Mrs. John) Wiedenbauer assisted his wife, Karen Imislund (Mrs. Anders) Romundstad in caring for him.
Death released him from his pains and God took him to Himself about 5:45 p.m. Sunday, November 1, 1936, at the age of 87 years and nine months.
He is survived by his widow and two daughters,
1. Nora (Mrs.John) Wiedenbauer and
2. (Anna) Mildred (Mrs. Wilhelm J.) Madson of Savage, Montana
and six grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at Strum on Wednesday afternoon, November 4, at the St Paul's Lutheran church, the Rev. O.A. Hjemboe officiating, assisted by the Rev. W. J. Madson of Savage, Montana. Interment was made in the church cemetery.
