Edward was born to Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hunsberger November 13, 1887 near Wadena, Iowa.
He farmed with his father until he married Amelia Overbeck February 23, 1910. They farmed in Iowa and had two children there, Alfred and Lavone. His Dr. suggested he change climate, so in 1917, with a brother-in-law already near Glenfield, he decided to give North Dakota a try.
He, another brother-in-law and a friend rented two boxcars, bringing their cattle, machinery, and other necessities, such as "milk pails." These came in handy as they became stranded in Breckenridge, Minnesota. They had to milk the cows and throw the milk away.
A few days later the ladies arrived in Glenfield, accompanied by their father and their three children. There was no home ready for them because of the husbands being stranded in the snowstorm.
A few days later they arrived at their new home, purchased from Mrs. Florence M. Brady, which is located 5 miles north and 1/2 mile east of Sutton. (S ½ of Section 10-Township 146-Range 61)
In 1919 another son Donald arrived.
Until 1924 the nearest school was 3 miles away. Then the Kingsley School #2 was moved onto Hunsberger land 1/2 mile East from their home. The land was donated by Ed Hunsberger.
Good times were shared by many at basket socials and Community programs held there. Another way of entertainment was house parties, square dancing and other dances.
1949 was a bad winter with so much snow - When Ed Hunsberger passed away, the snow plow had to go ahead to get the Dr. there. The snowplow again had to open the road from Cooperstown to Sutton for the funeral. Pastor Crain flew in from Grace City.
Donald Hunsberger and family moved to the farm and took care of the chores until April 6 when Harry Weitenhagen (Lavon) and family moved there to take over. In 1955 the Weitenhagen family decided to go to Washington State where Alfred Hunsberger and family live.
Donald and family moved back and farmed until 1960. The farm was rented to Wallace Myers and then sold to him in 1962. It is now being farmed by his son, Robert.
Amelia Hunsberger and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Hunsberger are residing in Sutton, North Dakota
