Dr. H. B. Train
Died at his home in Hokah, Houston Co., Minnesota, Tuesday, July 28, 1891, after a long illness, Dr. H. B. Train, aged 66.
The deceased was born in St. Lawrence Co., New York, April 26, 1825; came to Wisconsin in 1845, to Minnesota in 1856, and settled permanently in Hokah in 1857. He was a devout Christian and temperance worker. He first chose as a profession the preaching of the gospel but owing to a throat difficulty had to abandon it. He next turned his attention to the study of medicine and entered upon its practice on his arrival in Minnesota. He succeeded in building up a good practice and was the trusted family physician in nearly every household in the village of Hokah and surrounding country until his own ill health compelled him to retire from practice. He was an enthusiastic lover of horticulture and devoted his leisure hours to experiments in fruit culture, and always noted for having the earliest and best garden and small fruits in the country. His large garden contained a considerable number of apple trees that for many years produced abundant crops of the finest fruit. He also improved every opportunity to encourage his neighbors to plant and care for fruit. His orchard was badly killed out in the winter of 1872 and '73, and again in 1884 and '85, but his faith in the final success of the apple in this state never wavered. He became a member of this State Horticultural Society in 1885, but since that time his health has permitted no active horticultural work.
He was twice married. The second wife and two children of the first survive him. A useful and beloved friend, he will long be remembered by those who knew him. O. F. Brand, Minnesota State Horticultural Society 1891
Parents: Horace and Lovina Train.
