Emery, Caleb C., stock-dealer, has been a resident of Mazeppa since 1874,
during which year he built a meat-market on First street, above Walnut,
and a residence west of the river. He now has a partner who manages the
market, and Mr. Emery is constantly occupied in buying and shipping stock.
The subject of this matter was one of the pioneers of Olmsted county,
having taken up land in Oronoco in September, 1855. From that time he was
engaged in farming there until his removal to Mazeppa. He was reared on a
farm in New Hampshire, having been born in the town of Holderness, that
state, on January 4, 1834. His parents, John Emery and Sarah Fifield, were
natives of the same state. He received a common-school education, and on
reaching his majority set out to make himself a home in the west. In
February, 1865, Mr. Emery enlisted in the 1st Minn. Heavy Art., and was
stationed at Chattanooga till the close of the war. He has always been a
democrat; served some time as assessor in Oronoco. On May 8, 1867, C. C.
Emery and Helen M. George were united in marriage. Mrs. Emery is the only
daughter of Col. James and Rhoda T. George, also pioneers of Oronoco. Col.
George commanded the 2d regiment in the war of the rebellion, and was a
well-known and popular man in Olmsted county and the state at large. Mr.
and Mrs. Emery's five children were given to them as follows: Clara E.,
January 21, 1869; James George, April 25, 1870; Rhoda J., April 26, 1872;
Mary E., September 10, 1876; Helen E., January 9, 1878.
