family. Mr. Todd located here {Park Rapids, MN} in 1879, and until five years
ago was a resident of this locality. At that time he went west to make his home

The old log cabin, which has occupied so conspicuous a place in the roadway in
the townsite has been removed. It was the first building put up on second
prairie. Mr. Charley Todd came here in June 1879 and built it. For five weeks he
and his family did not see a white man. Little did he think a growing village
would be here.
The cabin was taken down last week.
