A faithful history of this western

stances of the triumph of genius and
the survival of the fittest, but no
where could be found better illus.
tration of the force of western genius
when taken at its best than in the
career Of Hon. G. L. Brown.
He is by birth a native of New
Hampshire, but since his first year
has resided in this state, where he
received his education and studied
law in the Office of his father, Hon.
John H. Brown, Judge of the Twelfth
Judicial District of this state, aud one
of the most eminent jurists in the
northwest. He was admitted to the
bar in 1876, and for year and a half
practiced in Willmar, his home town,
after which he removed to this place
where he enjoyed a lucrative patron
age until the fall of 1882 when he was
elected to the Office of county attorney,

In 1877 he settled in this county,
and had been variously engaged in the
grain and drug business until 1884
when he was elected to his present
position and is now serving the first
year of his third term.
In executing the duties of his Office
he manifests the same thorough.going
qualities which distinguish him in his

Winneconne, Wis, and engaged in the
insurance business, at the same time
studying law, and at the end of four
years-in 1878-was admitted to the
bar, soon after removing to this city
where he hung out his "shingle" and
has ever since been actively engaged
in dispensing Blackstone, Chitty, and
the Code.
His recognized talent and popularity
have made him one of our political
leaders, and he has served our city
government in the capacity of justice
and corporation counsel several terms.
He was elected to his present position
last fall.
His worth is not alone as a lawyer,
but is also represented in the valuable
property which he has acquired in this
city, which runs we'll up inio the
thousands of dollars.
Aside from his official position
Judge Darling is admitted to be one
of the best read and shrewdest law
yers in this section, and his ability
and tact are widely recognized among
his professional brethren.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

The Congregational Church of Morris,
like most churches of the frontier, had
its day of small things. Rev. J. L.
Fonda, while student in the seminary,
spent his summer vacation of 1872 in
missionary work in Morris and vicinity.
Rev. Olerenshaw came later in the sea-
son and remained till the summer of
1873. Rev. J. L. Fonda returned in the
fall of 1873, built house, and later
brought his wife, and they both COM
menced work in earnest. The Congre-
gational church was organized Aug. 9th.
1874, with membership of nine. Rev.
Fonda was the first pastor, and he con-
tinued as such till the close of 1882. The
first services were held in the depot and
old emigrant house till the school house
was built in 1874, when that was occu-
pied till the present commodious and
pleasant church building was erected in
1879, at a cost of $1,000. Rev. J. P.
Hutchinson was the second pastor, and
he remained about two years. Rev. K.
F. Norris followed him with success
full pastorate for two years. Rev. J. B.
Fairbank succeeded Rev. Norris, and re-
manned till last April. The church has
extended call to Rev. III. NJ. Herrick,
of Winona, and he accepts and will be-
gin his work here in September. The
present membership of the church is
about eighty. The church owns par
sonage, erected in 1882. The church is
in "a prosperous condition and has
fourishlng Sunday school. The trustees
are Hon. II. w. Stone, ST., D. T. Wheat
on and III. b. Wolff. .ssn 81
