  • Notes 
    • "Joseph and his wife, Ellen, settled on the farm located south of the Perkinsville Road and east of the Town Hall Road - the Matt Roehl farm (1953). Seven children were born to them: John Amos...Albert Warren...Elmer Loren...Elizada Bell...Elizabeth Julia...Frank Archie...West, who died in his youth - December 29, 1888.

      "Joseph worked on his farm and owned a steam thrasher with which he did harvesting for neighboring farmers. He also did carpentry - being one of those who helped to build the Parkers Lake Church, which burned on November 15, 1947.

      "It was very interesting to hear him tell of the many hunting trips he took with his sons. They hunted deer, wolf, fox and other animals. Whenever the boys got together, they would reminisce on the fun they had had. His wife, Ellen, was a great help to many neighbors, caring for sick and helping in many ways. She passed away April 13, 1918.

      "In March of 1919, Joseph sold his farm and with his daughter, Elizabeth moved to Wayzata, where he lived with his other daughter, Mrs. G. L. Lamb, until his death on October 21, 1922. This is all that is known presently of the original family of Nathaniel Day."
