• Biography: History of Fillmore County, MN, 1912, Fillmore County, MN. SKARSTAD CARL
BOOK - HISTORY OF FILLMORE COUNTY, MN., VOLS. 1 & 2, PUBLISHED IN 1912. Carl Skarstad, a successful and industrious farmer, is a native of Arendahl township, born in 1880, son of Jens and Anna Skarstad, natives of Norway. He was educated in the common schools of Fillmore county and worked for his father until 1904. During that year, Mr. Skarstad moved to his present farm, consisting of 360 acres in sections twenty-seven and thirty-four, 200 acres having been purchased in December, 1910, and 160 acres in 1908. Mr. Skarstad carries on general farming and dairying, preferring Shorthorn cattle. He also raises Poland China hogs and keeps several horses. In political opinions he endorses the sentiments of the Republican party, but has been too closely occupied with attending to his work on the farm to become an office seeker. On June 15, 1904, Helen, daughter of Mrs. Gurene Benston, became the wife of Mr. Skarstad and to them have been born: Gerhard O., Archie J., Clifford H. and Olive Helene. The family attend the Lutheran church, of which they are esteemed members.
Carl married Helena Olava BENSTON, daughter of Unknown and Anna Gurina BENSTON, about 1905. (Helena Olava BENSTON was born in May 1886 in MN and died on 24 Mar 1921 in Fillmore County, MN 2.)
Carl next married Thea B SANDE, daughter of Ole Kornellius Olsen SANDE and Oline Bjørndtr TEIGEN, on 15 Nov 1922 in Fillmore County, Minnesota, USA. (Thea B SANDE was born in Mar 1898 in MN and died on 22 Oct 1969 in Ward County, ND 3.)
