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 Haaven and 
they have seven children, Maguhild, Louis, Peter, John, Ingvar, Gertrude and 
Gottfried.
