  LUTHER W. LEIGHTON, the junior member of the firm of Osterlund & Leighton, general
merchants of the village of Dassel, came to that place in the fall of 1872, and in
the spring of 1874 opened the first wagon shop, in which he continued to carry on
the business until 1881. Closing out, then, his interests in that mechanical trade,
he entered into the hardware business in company with J. M. Johnson, and continued
in that line until January 1, 1887, when, after selling his interest to bis partner,
he entered into the new copartnership, the firm named above.

   Mr. Leighton, who is a native of Penobscot county, Me., born March 25, 1850, and
the son of Stillman W. and Thressa E. Leighton, received his education in his native
State. He left that portion of our great Republic in 1872, and came directly to this
part, as above stated.
