county commissioner six years, and a member of the lower house of the Min- nesota Legislature for two terms. In 1899 he moved to the village. For a time he was interested in the milling business, but in 1910 he sold out to his sons, and practically retired.

Nicholas Rassier, a pioneer of Stearns county, and one of the first settlers of St. Joseph, was born in Losheim, Germany, January 19, 1828. He spent his youth on his father's farm, and then came to America in 1852. After two years in Detroit, Michigan, he journeyed through Indiana and finally reached Chicago. He arrived in what is now Stearns county, November 9, 1854, and settled on section 14, St. Joseph township, among a colony of Ger- mans that arrived about the same time. With this beginning he grew up with the country, prospering exceedingly as the years passed by. When the township was organized he became the first tax collector, and as time passed he was elected to other positions until he had served in nearly all the im- portant offices in the township. In whatever place to which he was called, he unfailingly discharged his duties with much native ability. He died in March, 1906.

Mr. Rassier was married, June 4, 1857, to Susan Flesch, of Wisconsin. This union resulted in eight children, four of whom are living. Those living are Joseph, John, Catherine and Susan.

853

tained a part of his schooling. In 1874 he came to St. Joseph township, and stayed a few days with James Staples. It was then arranged that Mr. Merrill should go to Meeker county and look after the farm of Charles Staples, while Charles came to St. Joseph township and built an addition on James Staples' house. After this work was completed, Mr. Merrill returned to Rockville, and spent that winter attending school. Then for a while he was employed by va- rious farmers. Subsequently he and his brother, Charles A. Merrill, purchased a tract of land in Meeker county which they worked for a while. His next venture was in Goodhue county, where he worked three years. After selling his interest in Meeker county, Minn., to his brother, he came back to Rock- ville, and worked about two years for John Davis, one of the men with whom he had previously been employed. At this period he married. He and his wife lived on a rented farm for two years, and then bought a farm in Rock- ville township. In 1899, Mr. Merrill moved his family to section 34, St. Joseph township, where he now owns 124 acres. He raises the usual crops, and makes a specialty of Guernsey cattle and Jersey swine. He sends his milk and cream to the Rockville Farmers' Creamery. The school board of his dis- trict has found him a valued member, and he is also popular in the Modern Woodmen of America.

For his first wife, Mr. Merrill married Mary W. Longley, daughter of James and Emma (Davis) Longley. This union was blessed with four chil- dren: Olive G., Alverna C., Murvele and James. Mrs. Mary W. Merrill died December 14, 1905. Olive G., one of the daughters mentioned above, mar- ried Guy Cotter. They live in Kellogg, Idaho, and have one child. Alverna, now deceased, was the wife of Michael Lorenz. The present Mrs. Merrill was Mrs. Emma Larsen, who was born in Norway in 1881, came to the United States in 1907.

Frank C. Payne, a progressive young farmer of St. Joseph township, was born in Buckman township, Morrison county, February 26, 1884, son of Julius and Phoebe (Bosworth) Payne, grandson of John and Mary E. (Staples) Payne, and great-grandson of Benjamin Payne. He was brought to St. Joseph township by his parents and has since spent his life here. His education was received in the district schools of St. Joseph, the graded schools of Waite Park, the High School of St. Cloud, and the Vath Business College, of St. Cloud. Under his care the home farm in section 24, St. Joseph township, is in a flourishing condition, and Mr. Payne is one of the coming men of this vicinity. From his New England ancestors on both sides of his house, he has inherited the sturdy intelligence which has given to the sons of the puritans so prominent a place in the world's affairs. Frank C. Payne mar- ried Olga M. Laerwer, a native of St. Cloud, and they have two bright boys, Donald C. and Wesley F.

Julius Payne, president of the Old Settlers' Association of Stearns county, was born on the old Payne homestead in section 22, St. Joseph township, this county, son of John and Mary E. (Staples) Payne. In 1879, Julius Payne married Phoebe Bosworth, a native of Michigan. That year they went to Buckman, in Morrison county, where they remained for several years, a greater part of which time he was clerk of the township. Subsequently he

854

HISTORY OF STEARNS COUNTY

returned to his farm in section 24, St. Joseph township, where he lived until 1913, when he moved to Waite Park. Mr. Payne is now engaged in the real estate business for A. G. Whitney of St Cloud. Mr. and Mrs. Payne have three children : Alice E., born February 3, 1882, and died January 29, 1911; Frank C., born February 26, 1884; and Ira C., born July 13, 1886, and died December 11, 1891.

John Payne, a pioneer, was born in Hartford county, Maryland, Decem- ber 22, 1826, and died in Stearns county, Minn., August 22, 1899. The span of his life thus briefly indicated was filled with successful endeavor and widest helpfulness. In 1846, at the age of twenty years he moved with his parents to Daviess county, Kentucky, and upon attaining his majority he engaged in the wood and iron working business, conducting a foundry and a mill, and turning out castings, sash, doors, blinds, and interior finishings. In 1855 his health began to fail, and he came north to Minnesota, hoping that the climatic change might work a change for the better in his physical con- dition. After spending the summer in Sauk Rapids, in what is now Benton county, he took a claim on the Sauk river in section 22, St. Joseph township, Stearns county, the farm now being the property of Ignatius Bechtold. He was married in 1856, and shortly after the close of the Civil war, he moved to St. Cloud, where he engaged in the manufacture of sash, doors and blinds. Later he moved his family to a farm of 160 acres, located near the line between Rockville and St. Joseph townships. He prospered in his endeavors, and was enabled in time to increase his holdings to 400 acres, the property lying in both townships. He was esteemed by his fellow men, and was elected to many prominent positions, including that of the chairman of the board of supervisors of Rockville township. He was one of the organizers of the Old Settlers' Association of Stearns country and its first president.

Mary E. Staples, who in 1856, became Mrs. John Payne, was the daughter of Jacob C. and Elizabeth (Small) Staples, the pioneers of St. Joseph town- ship, this county. Mrs. Payne was a pioneer teacher, and for two years before her marriage kept school in one end of an old bakery at Watab vil- lage in what is now Benton county. Watab was an important point in the early days, and at the time Mrs. Payne taught there it was a flourishing pioneer village. Through all the years that have passed since then, Mrs. Payne has kept her keen interest in education. Descended from proud New England stock, possessed of inherited intelligence and inate refinement, broadened with culture of a splendid education, wide experience, close observation and much reading, she has been a powerful influence in this part of the state, and has left the impress of her character on the worthy lives of her children. She is a writer of much ability, and especially in the Stearns County Old Settlers' As- sociation, have her services been highly valued. As she looks back over her past life, she remembers with much pleasure the fact that most of her edu- cation in Maine was secured under the tuition of Thomas C. McClure, who afterward became one of the leading men of St. Cloud. Mr. and Mrs. Payne had seven children: Julius, Mary E., Frank S., Martha E., Henry H., Edwin L. and John E. Julius, man of affairs, and president of the Stearns County Old Settlers' Association, now living in St. Cloud, married Phoebe Bosworth,

Mr. Payne then married Ovedia Minde, a sister of his first wife, and by this marriage four children were born: Mildred A., Erwin C., Harold M. and Howard E. Harold and Howard are twins.

Jacob C. Staples, the pioneer, was born in Limmington, York county, Maine, March 6, 1801. As a young man he was connected with the clothing trade. He found indoor work detrimental to his health, however, and for several years he devoted his time to work as a farmer and carpenter. In 1839 he moved to Waldo county, in the same state. There he divided his time be- tween farming and ship carpentering at Belfast. In 1854 his sons, James and Ivory, came to the West, locating in Wisconsin. James was accompanied by his wife. In October, of that year, the three were joined at Janesville by Jacob C., and the four came on to St. Joseph, Stearns county, where they secured claims in sections 26 and 27. They built a log cabin for themselves, and a log stable for their cattle, and started pioneer life in the wilderness. In the spring of 1855, the wife of Jacob C., the daughter, and the rest of the boys came. Thus there was established in this township one of the leading families in the county. Mr. Staples became a well-known citizen, and was respected by all who knew him. He died November 29, 1879. Jacob C. Staples was married March 30, 1828, to Elizabeth Small, and they had nine sons and a daughter: James, Edwin H., Ivory S., William B., Benjamin F., Mary E., Jacob, Charles A., John H. and Nelson P.

Jacob Staples, farmer and writer, was born in the town of Brooks, Waldo county, Maine, December 6, 1841, the son of Jacob C. and Elizabeth (Small) Staples. He received a good education in his native state, and was brought to St. Joseph township in 1855. He remained on his father's farm until 1864, when he enlisted in the Second Minnesota Battery, Light Artillery. August 16, 1865, he located on a farm in Paynesville, and there became a prominent man. In 1881, however, he returned to the old homestead, where he has since continued to reside. Since his early youth he has been active in public affairs,

856

and has served in numerous town and school offices. Mr. Staples is a man of broad information, and a most interesting conversationalist. His contribu- tions to this present history are important. Mr. Staples married Elizabeth Brinkman, daughter of George Henry and Susan L. (Taylor) Brinkman, and they have had two children. George J. died August 22, 1912. Helen teaches in Appleton, Minn.

Benjamin F. Staples, farmer, warrior and patriot, was born in Cornish, Maine, January 17, 1836, son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Small) Staples. He received his education in Maine, one of his teachers being Thomas C. McClure, who afterward became a prominent citizen of St. Cloud, this county. In 1855, Benjamin F. Staples came to Stearns county with the rest of the family. For a while he lived on the home farm in St. Joseph township. In the meantime he took up a claim of 160 acres in section 23, and built a log shanty thereon. At the outbreak of the Civil war he enlisted, May 30, 1861, in Company E, First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. The history of this regiment and its heroic charge at Gettysburg is a part of the story of the nation. Mr. Staples took part in nineteen of its twenty important battles, and was wounded at Gettysburg. He was promoted first to corporal and then to sergeant, and throughout his service did his duty as a patriot and soldier, nobly, cheerfully, capably and bravely. He was honorably discharged with the regiment at Fort Snelling, May 5, 1864, and returned to his farm. In 1865 he sold this farm, and took a claim in Union Grove township, Meeker county. He was married the next year, and he and his wife continued to live in Meeker county until 1881, when they sold out there and came back to St. Joseph, where Mr. Staples purchased the farm which he had sold in 1865. In 1891, he disposed of this place, and purchased the James Staples place in the same township. In 1897 he divided the farm between his children. He died December 17, 1907. Benjamin F. Staples was married in May, 1866, to Mary Bosworth, born in Marion, Wayne county, New York, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Col- vin) Bosworth, who came to Minnesota in 1857 and took an important part in the development of St. Martin township, in this county.
