Tomforde, Louis W. (page 443), operator of a fine farm of 280 acres in
sections 24 and 25, Mt. Pleasant Township, was born in Burnside Township,
Goodhue County, October 16, 1888, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Tomforde. He
was educated in the common school, which he attended up to the age of 14
years, after which he was associated with his father in the operation of
the home farm, on which he now resides. Since his father's retirement in
1912 he has been the sole manager and is conducting a good business in
general farming and stock raising, keeping Shorthorn cattle and
Duroc-Jersey hogs, besides sheep. Industrious and enterprising, he is
managing the large farm of 280 acres to the best advantage and with
profitable results. He has a good set of buildings and modern operating
equipment, also owning a good auto car. Politically he is a member of the
Non-Partisan League. Mr. Tomforde was married September 25, 1912, to
Christina, daughter of L. H. Roschen of Mt. Pleasant Township, and who was
born in Florence Township, Goodhue County, Minn., May 31, 1890. Mr. and
Mrs. Tomforde are the parents of two children: Luvonna Mattie Anna, born
November 9, 1915; and Henrietta Johanna Anna, born September 9, 1917. Mr.
Tomforde and family are members of St. John's congregation of Lake City,
and are people held in high esteem in the northern part of Wabasha County.
