				C. J. GLOOD. 

	C. J. Glood is connected with the firm of Jorgensen Brothers, 
dealers in hardware and implements at Viborg. He was born in Denmark on 
the 20th of February, 1872, his parents being Rasmus and Bine 
Jorgensen. The year 1892 witnessed the arrival of the family in South 
Dakota. They reached their destination in the spring of that year and 
located six miles west of Viborg, where the father secured a tract of 
wild land and with characteristic energy immediately began the 
development of a farm, devoting his remaining days to its cultivation 
and improvement. He has now passed away but the mother makes her home 
in Viborg. 

	In the acquirement of his education C. J. Glood attended the 
public schools near his father's home and afterward became a student in 
the College of Denmark. The period of his boyhood and youth was passed 
in his native land but he preceded his father's family to America and, 
like many other of his countrymen, made his way to the northwest. In 
1892 he changed his name from C. Jorgensen to C. J. Glood. He began 
business where the town of Viborg was started and afterward went to 
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and for ten years was in the employ of the Electric 
Railroad Company at that place. In 1903 he returned to Viborg and 
established the hardware and implement business in which he is now 
engaged as a member of the firm of Jorgensen Brothers. From the 
beginning success has attended the venture. They have carried a large 
and carefully selected line of goods and have won popular favor through 
their honorable dealings, their courteous treatment of their patrons 
and their earnest efforts to please. In 1906 Mr. Glood extended the 
scope of his business activities by establishing a branch at Irene, 
South Dakota, in connection with his brothers. They started in a modest 
way but the business has constantly developed and the branch is now a 
substantial institution. In addition Mr. Glood is a stockholder in the 
Scandinavian Bank of Viborg and is interested in realty, being the 
owner of three-quarters of a section of farm land in the state. 

	On the 31st of October, 1897, Mr. Glood was united in marriage to 
Miss Cena Anderson, a daughter of L. H. Anderson. To them have been 
born four sons and four daughters, namely: Royal, Verne, Thorvald, 
Carl, Idalean, Gagmar, Marjorie and Clarabell, students in the public 
schools. 

	Mr. Glood and his family attend the Lutheran church, in which he 
holds membership, and he is also an Odd Fellow and a Royal Arch Mason, 
guiding his life by the teachings of those organizations, the 
fraternities, like the church, inculcating the highest standards of 
manhood.
