Link, John, was born in England, September 21, 1820. In 1854 he came with
his family to this country, and settled for three years in Ogle county,
Illinois. In the fall of 1856 he came to Wabasha county, and after taking
a claim in Gillford township returned for the winter to Illinois. On April
18, 1857, Mr. Link and family arrived at their new home, or rather the
place where their home was to be, for there was nothing but the wide
fields and the open sky to welcome them. In course of time, patient and
persevering toil surmounted pioneer difficulties, for house and barn were
soon erected, and the land yielded large crops of grain. Mr. Link now owns
two hundred acres of tillable, well improved land on section 24, besides
other property elsewhere. He was married February 17, 1848, to Margarette
Lewis, and five children have been born to them, four of whom are living.
