Árni Magnússon was born in 1823 in S. Múlasýsla.
Spouse: Arnfríður Ásmundsdóttir b. 1838 in S. Múlasýsla, d. October 3, 1898 in Lincoln County, Minnesota.
They came west across the ocean in 1878 and travelled with Ingibjörg Þorkelsdóttir, Arnfríður’s sister-in-law. Árni died shortly after arriving, but a source in Minnesota says Arnfríður settled there, widowed, together with her sister-in-law.
