The 1900, Marseilles Twp ,LaSalle County, IL census shows Cannie Knut Gunderson(age 42) with wife Annie(46), Gunder(21), John(16), Jennie(15), Isabella(11), Gust(7), Barnard(6), Samuel(4), and Ole(2).  It also states that Knute and Annie have been married 22 yrs, that they immigrated in 1891, and Knute was a farmer.  In addition, Annie said she was the mother of 10 children, 8 living.  In 1910, they were still living in LaSalle County, but in Rutland? Twp.  Knute(51), is listed with Anna (55), Gust(17), Barney (16), Sam(14) and Ole(12).  This census states Knut and Anna have been married 30yrs, immigrated in 1890, and Knut is still a farmer.  Anna passed away in 1913.  I think I found Knut(62) in the 1920 census back in Marseilles, IL and now remarried to a Hattie(53) with their daughter Clara, age 6.  Knut is living next door to his son Bernard Gunderson and his family.  Knuts occupation is hard to make out, it looks like Stock Petcher?  Knut passed away in 1942.

*note about Anna's maiden name.  I am not certain Gergison is her maiden name.  When looking at Elida and Gunder Gunderson's Marriage Liscence,  it looks like she said Gergison, but the hand writing isn't 100% clear.
