Gudmundur Einarsson Gudmundur Einarsson was born in Nordurmulasysla, Iceland, in 1859. He came to Canada in 1878 and in 1882 settled with his father in Park township, Pembina county. It appears that Mr. Einarsson and his father did more than any other two men in that community to perfect the organization of the church. Both worked zealously for the good cause. They will long be remembered as the pillars of the church in the days of her trials. Mr. Einarsson's fidelity has been recognized in that he has heen sent to the conference of the synod once at least. He has always been closely in touch with township affairs ever since its organization, and is now one of the directors of the township. He has also for some time been a member of the school board of his district. He has always been a democrat and frequently has been a delagate to the county conventions. Mr. Einarsson reads much and is thoroughly familiar with the masterpieces of Icelandic literature. He was married in 1881 to Miss Malmfridur Jonsson. Three of their children are living. The family home is in the southeastern corner of the Icelandic settlement around and south of Akra post office.
