Raymond, Enos B., (page 1061), grain-buyer, was born in Orwell, Vermont,
January 28, 1836. His grandfather, Joseph Raymond, was the first settler
in the town of Warren, Vermont; was the son of a revolutionary soldier.
Ira, son of Joseph Raymond, married Laura Martin and settled on a farm in
Orwell. The subject of this sketch was reared here. His education was
completed at Brandon Academy. At eighteen he set out for the boundless
west. After spending a winter at Omro, Wisconsin, he started with some
landowners for a trip through Iowa. After reaching the latter state he
changed his mind and took the stage for St. Paul. Thence he made his way
to Stillwater, and engaged as clerk in a store, remaining three years. He
then spent two years at Lake City, buying wheat for Van Kirk & McGeogh.
After traveling ten years for a Milwaukee wholesale grocery house, he
returned to Minnesota, and dwelt at Lake City and Mazeppa. Since 1877 he
has remained in the latter place, buying grain for P. Robinson. In August,
1866, he was married here to Miss Cornelia L., daughter of Frederick
Ormsby. Mrs. Raymond was born in Long Grove, Cook county, Illinois. They
have one son, Charles Eddy, born April 8, 1872. Mr. Raymond is an
enthusiastic democrat. He has never taken any active part in public
affairs, although he is active in fostering schools and the general
welfare. While not a member of any sect, he is a believer in divine
authority.
