  GEORGE W. DEALAND, after having spent many years of his life as an educator,

came to Nobles county in 1895, purchased land in the southern part of

Worthington township, and since that date has been engaged in farming.



  He is a New Englander by birth, having been born in Carroll county, N. H.,

Dec. 21, 1850. His father, Thomas T. Dealand, was a native of the same state,

and for many generations the Dealand family have resided there. His mother was

Mary E. (Beals) Dealand, a native of Massachusetts, the Beals being among the

early settlers of Massachusetts. Both his parents are dead.



  Mr. Dealand spent his boyhood days in his native state, where he attended the

public schools. He entered New Hampton academy, of New Hampton, N. H., from

which he was graduated in 1874. He then entered a state normal school at

Bridge-water, Mass., but before completing the course, when about 25 years of

age, he removed to Indiana. There he became a student in the Indiana state

normal school, and was graduated from that institution a few years later. Before

removing from New England he had begun his career as an educator, having taught

in graded schools in New Hampshire and Vermont for four or five years. After his

graduation from the Indiana school he resumed his profession, and during the

next fifteen years he was thus employed in schools in different parts of

Indiana. During his residence in the Hoosier state he served from 1886 to 1890

as county superintendent of schools of Vermillion county.



  While still residing in Indiana Mr. Dealand became acquainted with Nobles

county, and before taking up his residence here had made several visits to his

future home. In 1885 he purchased the southwest quarter of section 33,

Worthington township, and a little later he bought 205 acres in section 31, of

the same township. Besides these two properties Mr. Dealand now owns a small

tract in section 4, Bigelow township. Giving up his school work in 1895, he

moved to Nobles county and has since made his home on his farm near Org.



  While Mr. Dealand now devotes his energies to farming, he takes an active

interest in politics and school matters. He has been a member of the board of

supervisors of Worthington township for ten years, and with the exception of two

years, was chairman of the board during that time. He has been clerk of school

district No. 48 for the last six years. He is a member of the Masonic lodge of

Worthington.



  On August 1, 1893, occurred the marriage of Mr. Dealand to Amy Royse, daughter

of Andrew J. Royse, of Indiana. They are the parents of two children, Alma L.

and Marian H., both of whom reside at home.
