Ingalls, D. H., hardware, Minneiska, son of Daniel and Mercey, was born in
Kingsborough, Massachusetts, in 1820. His parents were natives of the same
state. He received his education in the common schools and at Peperill
Academy, attending the latter several terms. During the spring of 1842 he
came to Lake county, Illinois, and engaged in merchandise, remaining till
1859, when he removed to Plainview. Here he opened up a farm, but at the
end of a year became tired of farming and sold out, removing to different
parts of Kansas and Illinois during the next year; but like all eastern
men who once see the west, was dissatisfied with anything but the far
west, so in 1861 he removed to Minneiska. Here he opened up a lumber-yard,
and at different times bought wheat and transacted other business until
finally he opened up a store consisting of hardware and furniture, which
he still owns. During the early part of the rebellion he was drafted, but
on account of constitutional disability was given a life certificate of
dismissal. For the last sixteen years he has held offices of town clerk
and justice of the peace during most of the time. His politics are
republican. In 1879 he was married to Mary F. Ray, of Massachusetts, a
lady of refinement and a high order of intelligence.
