      Gilbert L. Sanford was born in Allegany county, New York, 83 years ago. He grew to manhood in the east, and was there married to Miss Melinda Whitney. During the year of 1857 he came to Minnesota, accompanied by his wife, and located on a farm two and a half miles west of this village. He resided here about 25 years, when he returned to the east, his wife having died. Mr. Sanford remarried in the east, and remained there until four years ago, when his second wife passed away. Since that time he had made his home with his son-in-law and daughter in Minneapolis.
      Deceased will be favorably remembered by the older citizens of Princeton, as he was possessed of qualities that won him the friendship and good will of all who formed his acquaintance. He is survived by three brothers, Saul S., and Reed E., of Princeton, and Van R., of Fairview, California, and one daughter, Mrs. Belle McCarriel of Minneapolis.

      Gilbert L. Sanford was born on the 4th of March, 1833, in Livingston county. New York, where he remained on his father's farm till 1854.

Came to Mille Lac county in 1859, and preempted a farm on which he has made great improvements and now resides.
