On 25 Apr 1866 Knut & brother Johannes (John) departed Bergen, Norway as passengers on the ship "Frederik Pettersen". The ship carried 311 Norwegian immigrants & arrived at Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 2 Jun 1866. He married Isabel Kittelsen (Luraas) on 1 Oct 1868 in Madison, Dane, Wisconsin. They had 4 children while living in Wisconsin: Hattie, Alexander, Julia, & Charles. In Jun 1880 the family lived in Primrose Town, Dane County, Wisconsin where Knut was a farmer. On 30 Jun 1882 Knut bought 160 acres of land in Afton Township, Brookings County, Dakota Territory. Knut's older brother, John, had moved to Brookings County before Jun 1880. On 20 May 1889 Knut acquired 144 acres of homestead land in Oslo Township, Brookings County, South Dakota. In 1900 the family lived at Lake Sinai Township, Brookings County, South Dakota, Knut was a stock buyer. There were 2 children born in South Dakota: Carrie & Nettie. In 1901 Knut, Isabel, & 4 of their 6 children immigrated to Alberta, Canada where he became a Canadian citizen in 1905. Hattie was married and stayed in South Dakota. Nettie was married and lived in Colorado. Knut homesteaded land in Strathcona County, Alberta. In 1906 he had 12 horses, 3 milk cows, 60 other cattle, & 12 pigs. In 1911 Knut was a retired farmer in Edberg, Camrose County, Alberta. He & Isabel were living with daughter Julia & her family. In 1916 Knut had his nephews, Lawrence & Martin Magistad, in his household probably to help on the farm. In 1921 Knut and Isabel lived in Evergreen, Victoria, Alberta where Knut was a farmer.
