Henry Challand, the subject of biographical notice, was born in England, Feb. 3, 1822. His education was received in the common schools of that country, and was limited on account of the financial condition of his parents. At the age of 12 years he set forth to carve a name and accumulate a competency for himself, first working on a farm, and then as a drayman. In 1847, he emigrated to Canada, where he lived seven years, and in the spring of 1854 came to DeKalb county and settled in Shabbona Township, where he purchased 89 acres of land.
