Gunner Husby, a retired farmer and well known citizen of King township, now residing at McIntosh, was born in
Norway, April 13, 1852. He remained in his native land until thirty-one years of age, when he came to the United
States and in the spring of 1882 took a homestead claim on section eight of King township in Polk county. He immediately
engaged in the development of his land and devoted the efforts and interests of his successful farming career to
this farm, building up one of the most prosperous properties of the section. In 1914, after many years of business
activity, he sold the homestead and has since made his home at McIntosh. As one of the early settlers of the township
he has been prominently identified with public affairs and has taken an active interest in the promotion of the
general welfare. He has capably discharged the duties of various local offices to which he has been elected and
has served as a member of the school board and township board. Mr. Husby is a member of the St. Johns Lutheran
church. He was married in Norway, to Marit Haavcn and they have seven children, Magnhild, Louis, Peter, John, Ingvar,
Gertrude and Gottfried.
