Ninety Seven Year Old Visitor Recalls Minnesota’s Early Days
John Daubney of Taylors Falls Minnesota arrived visiting his brother Wilson and nephew Walter Daubney. At 97 his mind remains sharp and his feet steady. He recalls moving north in 1845 after working zinc mines in Galena Illinois. He and a partner rode a Mississippi steamboat to Stillwater and marveled at St Paul and St Anthony Falls when Minneapolis was still squatter claims. He notes the pine lumber boom was just starting and laments its depletion. He has stayed in Minnesota ever since.
