    CHARLES H. DART, the enterprising and energetic flour and feed dealer of
Litchfield, was born in Forest City, Meeker county, Minn., February 5, 1862, and is
the son of Wait H. and Calista (Willis) Dart. His father is one of the oldest
settlers of the county, having come here in April, 1856, and the following July took
up a claim two miles east of the prospective village of Forest City, upon which he
settled, his family consisting of his wife and one child, coming here in November.
He raised one crop upon his farm, and then removed to this village, He was at that
place during the tragic scenes of the Indian outbreak, and was an active participant
in most of the stirring events of that unhappy epoch. He entered into the mercantile
business in Forest City about the time of the arrival of the soldiers, and from 1863
to 1865 had charge of the postoffice. In 18693 he removed to the town of Greenleaf,
where be took up a homestead, upon which he remained until 1871, and then came to
Litchfield, where he has resided ever since.

   Charles remained at home, enjoying the opportunities for schooling afforded him
during the winters, and working in the summer months at whatever he could turn his
hand to. At the age of eighteen, with a commendable enterprise, he initiated the
business which he now follows, and is making it a success. He is ranked high among
the rising young business men of the village, and is rapidly and surely extending
his operations.

   On Christmas day, December 25, 1883, C. H. Dart and Miss Nellie Lockwood, also a
native of this county, were united in the bonds of wedlock. They are the parents of
one child—Ray.
