Melvin of Grand Meadow (according to Amelia's Obituary)
William Anson David was a cobbler by trade. In Wisconsin he raised broom corn and in the winter, he made brooms. He sold his brooms for 25 cents each. He would travel from town to town selling his brooms. About 1865 he moved to Chatfield, Minnesota. The reason for his move was his son, Jim, a good businessman, a blacksmith and wagon maker by trade, made Minnesota look rosy to him. William left for Minnesota and later wrote his wife and told her to sell everything and come to Chatfield. William died in April of 1877 and later Amelia married J.W. Farquar. [1]
William passed away on 5 Apr 1877 in Chatfield, Olmsted, Minnesota, USA, aged 60.
