CAVOUR S. LANGDON
Cavour S. Langdon was born in New Haven, Addison county, Vermont, Septem­ber,
11, 1861. He comes of English ancestry and the family was established in the new
world in early colonial days, among his ancestors being some who served in the
Revolutionary war. His great-great-grandfather enlisted from Massachusetts in
the struggle for independence and later moved to Vermont. Robert Bruce Lang­don,
father of Cavour S. Langdon, was born and reared in Vermont, although later he
became prominently associated with railroad building in the Mississippi valley.
He is mentioned at length on another page of this work.
Cavour S. Langdon, son of Robert Bruce and Sarah (Smith) Langdon, pursued his
education in the public schools of Minneapolis. When his course of study was
completed he turned his attention to railroad construction work, which he took
up at the age of seventeen years. He is now a vice president of the Farmers &
Mechanics Savings Bank, president of the Minneapolis Syndicate and a director of
the Minneapolis Trust Company and of the Northwestern National Bank.
Mr. Langdon has always given his political allegiance to the republican party.
He has for a number of years served on the Minneapolis school board and for a
part of the time acted as its secretary. His religious faith is that of the
Episcopal church and his club memberships extend to the Minneapolis, Minikahda
and Lafayette Clubs, while golf and hunting constitute his chief features of
recreation.
