Elías came west in 1886 with his parents, Eggert Magnússon and Soffía Friðriksdóttir. They settled in N. Dakota. Guðrún was the daughter of Jón Jónsson and Ragnhildur Jósepsdóttir who came west in 1876 and first settled in New Iceland they called Mæri. Elías and Guðrún moved to Roseau County in Minnesota in 1896 but severe droughts and floods followed by frequent wildfires made it impossible for young farmers to succeed. They moved back to Mountain and then west to Milton. After some time, they moved north to the Lakes settlement (Vatnabyggð) and settled near Mozart.
