In June of 1865 Andrew and Anna Rossing Gullixson, with their two daughters, Emma and Celia, and brother-in-law Christian Rossing, came from Argyle, Wisconsin in prairie schooners drawn by oxen, with their possessions to Humboldt County. 

They homestead land in section 19, Delana Township.  Each became extensive farmers in the county.  Together they established their homes, improved their land, and were active in church and schools.  Iowa Falls was the closest town for provisions.

Gullixson built a log house near the covered wagon, and in the winter many cracks would appear and Anna would cook crack corn and fill the cracks so wind and snow stayed out.

The family they raised in a God-fearing manner were:  Bertha Emma Gullixon (Mrs. Fred Anderson); Celia Ann Gullixson; Rev. George Gullixson, wife Minnie Olson, pastor in Chicago for 32 years; Clara Elizabeth Gullixson Olson, wife of Prof. Oscar Olson, former president of Luther College, Decorah, Iowa; Oscar Theodore Gullixson, wife Inga Dahl, banker and lawyer; Mary Francis Gullixson Sauer, wife of Rev. Carl Sauer; Dr. Andrew Gullixson, wives, Ella Knatvold and Cathryn Bolamonson, doctor in Albert Lea, Minn.; Herman Otto Gullixson, wife Signe Dahle, Humboldt County Treasurer and farmer; Anna L. Gullixson Lewison, wife Bessie Freese, former president of Lutheran Seminary, St. Paul, Minn.
