"Lafayette and Amelia (Buell) Dean, natives of New York State, settled in Adams County, Wisconsin, at an early day, probably a few years before the out-break of the Civil War. There they remained engaged in farming until June, 1862, when they came to Dunn County, taking a homestead consisting of 160 acres of wild land in Sections 5, town of Grant, and 32, town of Sand Creek. But owning to the war and other causes, times were so hard that Lafayette Dean found it impossible to make a living. Possibly he might have found employment at lumbering, but he preferred instead to enlist for a soldier, which he did in the same year, 1862, in a regiment of Wisconsin infantry. He took part in a number of battles and skirmishes and remained in the army until he was wounded, when he was discharged for disability and returned home. His family in the meanwhile had lived on his pay. He now set to work to clear up his farm, breaking it with a team of six oxen, and he was kept busy improving it for many years. Then he moved to Hay River, where he died on May 24, 1909. His wife, Mrs. Amelia Dean, is still living in Hay River. They had a family of 11 children, of whom four are now living:
Charles, a farmer in the town of Sand Creek;
Chauncy, of the town of Grant;
Carrie, wife of Joseph Baker, residing near Seattle, Wash., and
Lamont, of the town of Hay River, Dunn County, Wis. "
