  JOHN E. SHORE is one of the pioneer residents of Ransom township, having made

his home there since he was a boy seventeen years of age. He is the son of

Robert and Eliza (Greenhalgh) Shore, also of Ransom township, and was born in

Grant county, Wis., May 2, 1856. On his father's farm in that county he passed

his boyhood days, and there he received a common school education.



  During the month of April, 1873, he came to Nobles county with his parents and

for several years resided on his father's homestead in Ransom township, working

on his father's place and for neighboring farmers. In 1885 he began farming for

himself, having rented the northwest quarter of section 10, Ransom. In 1889 he

moved onto his present farm, the northeast quarter of section 22, which he had

purchased some time before. He erected the buildings and made the other

improvements, the land having been raw land when he purchased it. In addition to

the home farm he now owns the southwest quarter of section 14.



  Mr. Shore was married at Parker, S. D., July 1, 1885, to Libbie Guernsey,

daughter of Amasa and Loretta (Copeland) Guernsey, who were natives of New York

state. Mrs. Shore was born in New York state Jan. 13, 1865. To them have been

born the following children, all of whom are living at home: Alice, born July

13, 1886; Harold, born Nov. 23, 1889; Raymond, born Feb. 25, 1893; Howard, born

May 5, 1897; Loretta, born Aug. 20, 1904. Mr. Shore served as treasurer of

Ransom township for several years and has held other minor offices. He is a

member of the M. W. A. of Bigelow.
