CLAY COUNTY ILLUSTRATED 



Home of Julius T. Lunder Near Dale, Highland Grove Township 



This illustration shows the farm 

 home of Julius T. Lunder, one mile 

 north of Dale in Highland Grove town- 

 ship. Mr. Lunder came to Minnesota 

 from Norway with his parents when 

 he was only three years old. The 

 family located the homestead which 

 is the farm now owned by Mr. Lunder. 

 A part of the original log house is 

 included in the present dwelling. Mr. 

 Lunder diversifies his crops and is an 

 extensive grower of potatoes. He has 

 one of the finest and most convenient 

 potato cellars in the county. It is 

 built in the hillside ; the walls and floor 

 are of cement, and the exposure is to 

 the south. To the east and south of 



the farm buildings is a twelve-acre 

 patch of alfalfa from which two cut- 

 tings were made the first year. 



William Sprung was born in Ger- 

 many and came to the United States 

 with his parents when a child. The 

 family settled in Iowa and in 1892 

 moved to Clay County, locating in 

 Moland township where they pur- 

 chased a half section farm. This is 

 the farm now operated by Mr. Sprung 

 and it is practically all under culti- 

 vation, 30 acres being reserved for 

 pasture. Mr. Sprung has made a suc- 

 cess of corn growing, and one of the 

 illustrations shows the crew at work
