There is one old stone to either side of that belonging to Courtland and Mary. Unable to read any writing on the older stones.
Courtland B. Bird, owner of a considerable farm in Otter Creek, but now living retired, was born at Moundville, Marquette County, Wis., March 1, 1854, son of Nathaniel R. and Mary Ann (Cooper) Bird.
He was married on Aug. 1, 1874, to Mary Ellen Irvine, of Fort Madison, Iowa. Five children were the fruit of this marriage: Bert C., Grace, William J., Jessie L. and Minnie, all of whom are now living. He bought the farm of his father-in-law, G. K. Irvine, in Section 15, town of Menomonie. Later he sold that farm and bought another, near Wheeler. Subsequent to that he bought 520 acres in Sections 14-15, town of Otter Creek. In the fall of 1923 Mr. Bird sold 160 acres to his grandson Ralph, so his own property now contains 360 acres. He is carrying on general farming, stock raising and dairying.
For many years he served as chairman of his town board and for several years was chairman of the county board, thus taking a prominent and active part in the direction of the affairs of the county. He was married for 60 years.
