Alfred Harold Morseth was born on July 21, 1915 in Deering, North Dakota to John and Johanna (nee Garthus) Morseth. When Alfred was six years old, his family moved to Minnesota. They settled on a farm north of West Concord. When Alfred was in his early teens his family moved to a farm in the Hader area. Alfred attended country school and farmed with his parents for many years. On June 21, 1941 he married Joyce Ellefson at Lands Lutheran Church. Following their marriage, the couple lived in Zumbrota before they started farming around the area, eventually purchasing their farm south of Pine Island in 1957. Together they farmed for thirty three years before retiring. Alfred enjoyed car rides through the countryside looking at the crops, attending auctions and going to the Livestock Auction Market, having coffee with friends, bus rides and bingo at the nursing home and his greatest joy was being around the farm and the animals. Alfred was a member of Lands Lutheran Church and had served as President of Lutheran Brotherhood. Alfred is survived by his children, Marlys Scherbel of Coon Rapids, Bonnie (Stan) Broton of Dodge Center, Harold (Pam) Morseth of Coon Rapids and Mary (Myron) Ehrich of West Concord; four grandchildren, Darin (Krista) Broton, Erin Broton, Kari (David) Echtenkamp and Kristi Stradtmann; five great-grandchildren, Dylan Echtenkamp, Madelyn Echtenkamp, Logan Stradtmann, Andrew Stradtmann and Emmett Broton; other relatives and many friends.
