  DAVID GORMAN, who carries on a livery, feed and sale stable at Litchfield, is a
native of Canada West, born in 1855, and is the son of John and Bridget (Tuberty)
Gorman, natives of Ireland, who came to America in 1840. He remained in his native
country until he was thirteen years of ago, when his parents removed to Minnesota
and settled at Monticello, Wright county. David made his home with his parents until
ho was twenty-one years of age, his time being spent upon a farm, attending common
school as opportunity offered. On reaching his majority he went to the Black Hills,
and for a year remained there following mining, after which he returned to Minnesota
and engaged in the liquor trade at Monticello. In 1880 he was employed at bridge
building on the Manitoba railroad, and later took charge of the Howard House at
Litchfield, in company with Richard Knights, and ran that a year, but at the
expiration of that time sold out to his partner, purchasing at the same time the
livery business of Knights & McCarger, at Litchfield, and has conducted it ever
since.

    Mr. Gorman was married on the 3d of May, 1882, to Miss Belle Knights, a native
of Canada, but a resident of Meeker comity at the time. Their union has been blessed
by the advent of two children—Herbert Francis, born August 30, 1883, and Hattie
Marie, born February 12, 1888.
