Fuller, Volume II, 1915, B. F. Bowen & Company, Indianapolis, Indiana. Public opinion, it may be said truthfully, actually rules this country and there is no institution which has a more profound and far reaching influence on public opinion than the newspaper. No man exerts a wider and more far-reaching influence for good or evil than the newspaper publisher. Morrison county, Minnesota, has many thriving newspapers, but none which more thoroughly measures up to the needs of the community it undertakes to servo than the Royalton Banner of which Willis C. Dally is editor and publisher. Willis C. Dally was born on January 25, 1873, near Annandale, Wright county, Minnesota. He is the son of Nathan and Ida ( Shattuck) Dally, the former of whom was born in 1848 in Bureau county, Illinois, where he lived until 1856, when he and his parents came to Stearns county, Minnesota. After living in Stearns county for some three years, the family moved to Wright county, where the father took a homestead. When Nathan Dally was old enough he also took a homestead in the southern part of South Side township, Wright county. There he lived until 1881. In the meantime he had operated a saw-mill for a few years. In 1881 he established a sawmill at Staples, which he operated for three years. In 1884 the mill was moved to Eagle Bend, Minnesota, where it was run for eleven years. In 1895 Mr. Dally removed to Leech Lake in Cass county, the present site of Walker, which was founded in that year. Here he built a sixty-foot, stem-wheel steamboat which he operated on Leech Lake for fourteen years, carrying freight and passengers. In 1909 he bought one hundred and sixty acres in Hubbard county, near Laporte, and there he resides at the present time. Nathan Dally, who is a Republican, held a number of village and township offices. He is a member of the Methodist church and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Mrs. Ida (Shattuck) Dally was born in Franklin county, New York, on November 25, 1852, where she lived until 1867, when, with her parents, she came to Minnesota. They settled near Clear Water, where she made her home until 1872, when she was married. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Dally have had five children, Willis, Mrs. Estella Pennar, Arthur, Verne and Leila, all of whom have reached maturity. Educated at Staples and Eagle Bend, Minnesota, Willis C. Dally attended a business college at Minneapolis. He finished the common schools in 1891 and for four years was engaged in teaching in the country and village schools of Eagle Bend and vicinity. In January, 1896, Mr. Dally was employed by W. E. Hutchinson, who owned a newspaper at Eagle Bend, originally the Todd County News but later the Eagle Bend News. Here Mr. Dally learned the printer's trade and worked for about eight years. During that period he was appointed assistant postmaster. In 1900-01, Mr. Dally spent a year in the service of the Red River Lumber Company at Akeley, working in the E. B. Walker mill. In 1906 Mr. Dally removed to Hewitt, Todd county, purchasing the Hewitt Banner, which he published for eight years. After selling this paper he purchased the Royalton Banner, at Royalton, and removed to this place on January 3, 1914. While at Hewitt Mr. Dally purchased forty acres of land on the edge of town but he sold this farm at the same time that he disposed of his other interests in Hewitt. On May 7, 1898, Willis C. Dally was married to Jessie Tabor, a native of Douglas county, Minnesota, born on September 10, 1879. Mrs. Dally is the daughter of Frank and Lydia (Livernash) Tabor, natives of Minnesota. Mrs. Dally was educated at Parkers Prairie, where she lived most of her life until her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Dally have had three children, Clare, Harold and Inez, all of whom are attending school. As a Republican Mr. Dally has served in several positions of trust and responsibility. He was village recorder at Walker, Minnesota, village recorder at Eagle Bend, village recorder at Hewitt for four terms and the recipient of additional political honors. He considers himself an independent Republican, but is an ardent believer in prohibition. He is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a past grand, and was a member of the grand lodge of 1902. Mr. and Mrs. Dally are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and Mr. Dally is a steward in the church.
