Amsbry, William H., (page 1006), deceased, was born in New Hampshire in 
1817, and was reared on a farm in Shenango county, New York, from the time 
he was six years of age. In 1836 he was married to Miss Charlotte Coley, 
and followed agricultural pursuits in Shenango county till 1856, when he 
removed to the new and untried State of Minnesota. He first settled in 
Mazeppa, in this county, and there bought out and completed the first mill 
begun in the county. In 1860 he sold out and removed to Lake City, where 
he conducted an extensive grain and general commission business. He died 
in 1881, and is much missed by his friends and fellow citizens. Mr. Amsbry 
served this county as commissioner, in its early history, and Lake City as 
a staunch friend and advisor in later years.
