From the Rosten Genealogy by John Midtdal:
Amund, born 15 May 1834, died 24 May 1914 at Crooks, SD. Married 3 July 1864 to Margrete Pedersdaugther Jonasgaard, born 8 June 1839 in Røros, Norway, died 29 July 1912 at Crooks, SD. Parents: Peder Olsen Undsgaard born 4 October 1814 died 2 September 1890 and Dori Mikkeldaugther Jonasvollen, born 1815, died 24 January 1882. Amund and Margrethe Røsten emigrated from Norway in 1871, and came to Rushford, MN, where they lived for one year. Moved from there to Blue Earth County, MN, where they leased a farm for four years. Came to Minnehaha County, Dakota Territory in 1876 and took homestead in Section 11 of Benton Township where they lived until their deaths. They were members of West Nidaros Lutheran Church. Amund went back to visit the Old Country in 1891 and again in 1904 when son Magnus went with his parents. When Amund and Margrethe left Norway in 1871 they were very poor, but the years were good to them in America and Amund sent money back to Norway for a "Hospital" or "Old People's Home" in Tolga two different times ($500 each time). $500 for a church bell for the church at Tolga, and $500 for a church bell at Tufsingdalen.
