Amund is Prosperous
''Winnebago Summit'' Amund's milk station used large volume separators to skim off cream, and was consolidated into the Thompson Cooperative Creamery in 1897. Amund's population, in 1902, was 22. The community was meant to serve the farming community, and the lack of a railroad led to its dissolution. The local ''Forest City Summit'' newspaper reported in 1955 that the former location was still known as Amund corner. It noted that early settlers remembered Fourth of July celebrations at Amund with baseball games and bowery dances.(28 July 1955)
