Alve was born on July 23, 1924 on the family farm in Salol, MN to Karl Karlsson and Brita (Gustafsson).  She attended school in Salol and worked on the family farm.  She also worked at Messelt’s for a short time.  She and Oscar Lund were married on December 28, 1942 in Roseau, MN and raised five children.  In addition to her endless work on farm, Alve worked for the ASCS office in Roseau for over 20 years.  They won the Roseau County Clean Farm Award many years ago and were active in the Spruce Free Lutheran Church and the Methodist Church in Roseau.

She and Oscar enjoyed fishing and spending time with their family.  Their trips to Norway, Sweden and Alaska were memorable.  Alve enjoyed knitting, cross-stitch, macramé, crochet, picking berries, canning; and reading and playing games in her later years.  She will be remembered for her hard-work ethic, her deep interest in the history of immigration to the Warroad and Roseau area; and her wonderful sense of humor and her strong-willed personality.
