    CARL E. LIND, conducting business at Twin Falls under the name of the Lind
Automobile Company, of which he is sole proprietor, was born in Wisner,
Nebraska, January 6, 1879, his parents being A. E. and Sarah (Dahlsten) Lind.
His boyhood days were spent in the usual manner of the farmbred boy. Throughout
his youth he lived upon a farm in Nebraska and pursued his education in the
public schools and in the Luther College at Wahoo, Nebraska, from which
institution he was graduated in 1898. He then returned to the farm but in 1900
engaged in the hardware and implement business at Newman Grove, Nebraska, where
he remained until the fall of 1907. 

    It was at that date that Mr. Lind came to Twin Falls, Idaho, bringing with
him the first automobile in the town, a two-cylinder Buick. In 1909 he built the
first garage at Twin Falls, handling the Buick cars, which he had previously
handled in Nebraska. In the fall of 1917 he erected his present building, which
is one of the finest garages in the west. It has a terra cotta front and has
complete equipment for doing all kinds of repair work on cars. He has attained
expert skill in this connection and his business has developed to large and
gratifying proportions. 

    In 1900 Mr. Lind was married to Miss Emelia Nelson, a daughter of Peter and
Annie (Olson) Nelson. She was born in Smoland, Sweden, and was brought to the
United States when but six months old by her parents, who settled in Lincoln,
Nebraska, where her father took up the occupation of farming, there carrying on
agricultural pursuits until 1894. In that year the family removed to Newman
Grove, Nebraska, where her father again carried on farming and where both he and
his wife passed away. It was there that Mrs. Lind formed the acquaintance of her
future husband. By their marriage they have become the parents of two children,
Helen and Lillian. 

    In his political views Mr. Lind is a republican and keeps well informed on
the questions and issues of the day. His religious faith is that of the
Methodist Episcopal church and to its teachings he is most loyal. High and
honorable principles have guided his life in every relation and the integrity
and enterprise of his business career have been dominant factors in winning him
success.
