Biographical History of Cherokee County, Iowa
W. S. Dunbar & Co., Chigago - 1889

[page 637-638]

    DAN GRUNDY is one of the well-known and enterprising farmers of Cedar
    Township.  He was born in Lancashire, England, November 12, 1856, and
    is the son of JOSEPH GRUNDY, deceased, a well-known pioneer of Cedar
    Township.  DAN was thirteen years of age when his parents came to
    Cherokee County; his father took a homestead of eighty acres, and
    he being the only son at home, much of the work of clearing and im-
    proving the land fell upon him.  He received his education in the
    common schools of England, and after coming to this country he availed
    himself o the opportunities afforded by the district school.  Mr.
    GRUNDY was united in marriage September 27, 1883, to Miss AGNES MACY,
    a woman of culture and education, who was a popular teacher.  She is
    a daughter of D. S. and DELILAH (GARDNER) MACY, early settlers of
    Marshall County, Iowa, but formerly from Ohio.  Mr. and Mrs. GRUNDY
    have had born to them two children: PAUL MACY and IONE; one child
    died in infancy named HARRISON.  To those who came to this county at
    an early day the task of making a new home was not an inviting one,
    and hearts less brave and hands less willing would not have overcome
    all the difficulties.  Mr. GRUNDY is now in the full enjoyment of all
    the efforts made in his young manhood and youth.  He is living in the
    old home, rests beneath the shade trees planted by his own hand, and
    gathers fruits from the trees which he tended and watched when a
    child.  Politically he supports the issues of the Republican party.
    He is a faithful member of the Christian Church, and has ever been
    interested in all movements tending to benefit the community in which
    he has so long resided.  He enjoys the respect and esteem of all who
    know him.
