In 1895, the Iowa Census shows Martin and Kjersti living in Glenwood next to (or possibly with) his widowed mother, Johanna, and sister Anna and brother Henry. It is not clear why their daughters, Alma and Mabel, are not listed, and also why Martin is listed as Martin A. as opposed to Martin J. It is possible he was using Arneson (the patronymic) as his middle name, or perhaps it was an error by the census taker.

Tragedy struck the HUSEBY household in 1897 when their daughter Alma passed away on 6 Dec. Sadly her twin sister Mabel also passed away the following year on 19 Jun 1898. On a happier note another daughter was born to them on the same day who they named Mabel Hazel.
