The following is from the Lennox Diamond Jubilee Book. Mr. and Mrs. Amund Peterson were early settlers of the West Prairie community. Mr. Peterson was born in Nordre Fron, Gulbrandsdalen, Norway, January 29, 1847. He grew to manhood there and November 18, 1874 was joined in wedlock to Miss Emma Lukken. Mrs. Peterson (nee Lukken) was born at Kvikne, Nordre Fron, Gulbrandsdalen, Norway, January 16, 1856. There she was reared in the environments of her native land, and subsequently married. For three years following their marriage the couple resided in Norway, and on June 24, 1877, they, with their two children, left their native soil and joined the immigrants to the United States. Their arrival in this country brought them to Philadelphia, where they landed, and remained only a short time before continuing on to Sioux City, IA, by railroad. From the Iowa city they traveled by stage coach to Canton, Dakota territory, where they lived with Peter Lukken for several years. On November 8, 1889 the family moved onto a farm six miles south and one east of Lennox where the pioneer couple resided until their deaths. This union was blest with eight children, one daughter, Elvina, passing away in 1904. Mr. Peterson passed away November 28, 1931. Mrs. Peterson died April 18, 1932.
