By improving the quality of its stock Mr. Lind has done much to pro- mote the prosperity of this section. His ambition is commendable and he has already attained an enviable rep- utation as one of the successful and reliable stock breeders of the west. His success has been achieved by ad- hering to these maxims: "Buy good cattle but no more than you can take care of. Take good care of them, in- crease their number as fast as possible and keep posted on the quality and treatment of the kind you are raising. If you are trying to make money by raising grain and scrub cattle you will make more by selling half your land and putting good stock on the other half. "

In 1854 he located in Clayton county, Iowa, and in 1862 on section 27, Des Moines township. He was the first M. E. minister to hold public services in the north part of this county and served as county judge and superintendent of the pub- lic schools of this county two years, 1864-65. He died while on the road, as a missionary, to Kansas.

In 1840 he married Ruhamah Pary and his family consisted of four chil- dren of whom Jane Etta, the third, married J. B. Jolliffe (see Jolliffe) and still lives in this county. Wm.
