Richard and Henry Cheeseman are natives of England, their parents being Richard and Maria (Early) Cheeseman. Richard was born in London, November 1, 1858. He was an engineer’s draughtsman until two years before coming to America, and was then in the employ of the A. W. Faber Pencil Co. On the 1st of May, 1880, he came to the United States and went to farming. A year later he purchased a part of their present farm on section 29, Clinton Falls Township, and in 1886 added the northwest quarter of the same section, so their farm now comprises 225 acres. On the 15th of March, 1881, Richard was married to Miss Ella F. Duncan, a native of Chenango County, N.Y. They have the following children: Henry, born November 25, 1881 ; Grace, born May 21, 1883; Florence, born December 25, 1884, and Asa born August 16, 1886. Henry Cheeseman was born in Kent County, England, April 5, 1861. He served an apprenticeship at the stone sculptor’s trade and worked at it until he joined his brother, Richard, in Steele County, Minn., in February, 1882. He has since devoted his attention to their farm. Their father died in London, June 22, 1885. Their mother and sister, Sarah A., came from London in June, 1886, and are now living with them on the farm.
