Mr. Hemingway came to Minnesota in 1866, locating on section 18 in Summit township where he remained four years and then returned to Wisconsin where he remained until 1878 when he again came back to Steele County, locating on his original farm where he reside until he retired. When he left his farm he lived in Ellendale a short time and then later moved to this city where he has since made his home.
Mr. Hemingway in August 1862 enlisted in Company B. Thirty-second Infantry under Colonel Howe, remaining in service to the close of the Civil War. He was in a number of battles, among which were Three Rivers, Columbia, S. C., the taking of Savannah, Ga., with General Sherman on his march to the sea, and was also at the Grand Review in Washington.
