Lester George Thunn was born May 16, 1921, in Washington County to George and Marie (Mordhorst) Thunn.

He married Pearl Mittelstaedt on April 14, 1953.

The Thunn farm has been in the family since 1915. At the age of 15, Mr. Thunn took over working on the family farm after his father died at the early age of 53. He grew wheat, oats, hay, corn and soybeans during his lifetime. He also raised pigs and black Angus cattle.
