Haymond, living on sections 9 and 10, Sugar Grove township, is one of the prosperous and up-to-date farmers and stockdealers of the county. His business interests are constantly growing in volume and importance and result from the careful management which he has ever displayed in carrying on his farming interests. Today he has three hundred and four acres, the greater part of which is under the plow and returns him excellent crops for the care and labor he bestows on the fields. He is a typical son of the middle west and was born near the city of Kankakee, in Kankakee county, Illinois, October 12, 1857. His father, George Haymond, was a native of Indiana and was there reared, after which he removed to Illinois, settling in Kankakee county when a young man. He was married there to Catherine Doke, a native of Illinois. He is a mechanic, a wagonmaker and blacksmith and in early days worked at his trade in Illinois. In 1860 he removed to Iowa with his family, settling in Des Moines, where he spent the winter. In the spring of 1861, however, he went to Warren county and located on a farm, which he continued to cultivate for about ten years. On the expiration of that period he took up his abode near Winterset and lived on a farm there. His death occurred in Madison county in the fall of 1900. His widow still survives him and now makes her home with a daughter in McGregor, Iowa. In their family were twelve children, eight sons and four daughters, of whom eleven have reached years of maturity: Edward, who is farming on the old homestead in Madison county; William D., of this review; Adaline, the wife of George Dilly, a merchant of Kankakee, Illinois; John, a resident farmer of Kankakee county; Douglas, who follows farming in Madison county, Iowa; Samuel, a farmer and stockfeeder of Madison county; Elma, the wife of Walter Davis, a farmer of McGregor, Iowa; Ray, who is living at Colorado Springs, Colorado; Jefferson, who carries on agricultural pursuits in Madison county, this state; George, who is engaged in the livery business in Winterset, Iowa; and two now deceased. Albert died at the age of four years, and Hattie passed away at the age of twenty-two years. William D. Haymond came to Iowa in 1860, when a lad of four years and in early manhood started out in life on his own account, depending entirely upon his own resources. He worked at farm labor by the month for some time and afterward engaged for six years in the business of ditching and laying tile. His energy, economy and perseverance constituted the basis of the success which he is now enjoying and which enabled him to become a property holder. On the 9th of March, 1882, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Haymond and Miss Agnes Scott, a daughter of Samuel and Jane Scott. She was born in the state of New York and was there reared and educated, becoming a school teacher prior to her marriage. Following the celebration of their wedding Mr. Haymond rented a farm in Dallas county, which he cultivated for eight years and then with the capital he had acquired through his savings he bought eighty acres, where he now resides. Taking up his abode thereon he resolutely set to work to bring the land under cultivation and produce abundant crops such as are raised on Iowa soil. In the early days he suffered many hardships and privations but he kept up a stout heart and continued in the work. He allowed no difficulties or obstacles to discourage him and with resolute spirit continued on year after year. Success always crowns persistent, unfaltering effort, and in due course of time he extended the boundaries of his farm by additional purchase until it now comprises three hundred and four acres in one body. The home which he has erected is a pleasant two-story residence, in the rear of which are a large barn, granary and corn cribs. In fact the farm is an excellent property, well equipped, and in the pasture and feed lots are seen good grades of cattle and hogs, which are fattened for the market. He annually sells from one to two hundred head of steers and three carloads of hogs and from this branch of his business derives a gratifying income. In 1904 Mr. Haymond was called upon to mourn the loss of his wife, who died on the 7th of May of that year. Their only child, Lena, died when an infant of ten months. Mr. Haymond votes with the republican party and is a stalwart advocate of its principles, being recognized as one of the leaders in its local ranks. He was elected and served as township trustee, filling the office for three consecutive terms, and he is now township treasurer. He also belongs to the Presbyterian church at Dallas Center, to which his wife also belonged, and he is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows there. He commenced life empty-handed but in this land where effort is not hampered by caste or class he has worked persistently and energetically with the result that he has attained gratifying success. He is now classed with the representative farmers of Sugar Grove township and in this connection deserves mention in the history of his adopted county. -Source: Past and Present of Dallas County, Iowa Chicago: The S.
