Engebregt Kolstad came to the Greenwood area in 1881 from Norway. In 1883 his wife and two children, Emil and Inga, joined him. A daughter, Julia, was born in Greenwood. Engebregt, and later Emil worked in the logging camps in the Willard area.

Alma Rosen arrived from Sweden in 1902 to the Greenwood area. In 1910 Alma married Emil Kolstad. In 1922 they settled on their farm northeast of the John Brezic farm on Route 1, Willard.

They had two sons: Everett of Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Arthur, still living on the home farm.

Mrs. Kolstad passed away in 1960 and Emil in 1973.
