Browns Valley, Mimi. - Thomas
Flood, ST., of Beardsley, was a pleas
ant caller at the Tribune office OH Mon
day. He was one of the pioneer set
tiers Of Traverse county, having set
tied on a homestead in Arthur town
ship in the summer of 1875 Mr..
Flood hauled the material for his
house and other supplies from Morris,
that being his nearest point. During
the first season he did some breaking
with OK teams. FIc had no neighbors
on the Arthur prairie, and during the
entire winter of 1870 himself and
family did not see white man. Late
in the spring an Indian stopped at the
Flood home for drink of water, and
was the only visitor for many months.
Since settling here in 1878 Mr.. Flood
says that he has not been farther away
from his homestead (Which he still
owns than Fergus Falls, where he
went to transact some business at the
land office. While in reminiscent
mood, Mr.. Flood says that the farm
ers of Traverse and Big Stone coun-
ties of today certainly have an easy
time compared to the hardships ell
dured by the early pioneers. But from
the first he had great faith in the flu
ture of this section of Minnesota, and
it is with much pleasure that he has
noted it's many improvements and
rapid development. Mr.. Flood is now
nearly 50 years Of age, but his mind
is perfectly clear, and lie appears to
enjoy his declining years.
