  WINFIELD GRISWOLD, one of Ellington township's progressive and enterprising young agriculturists, is a member of one of the old and honored families of Outagamie county, members of which have risen to prominence in various lines of endeavor. His grandfather, Ransom P. Griswold, was born June 14, 1821, in Coventryville, Chenango county, New York, and in 1855 came to Dale township, Outagamie county, purchasing 160 acres of land, on which he was engaged in farming during the remainder of his life. On September 3, 1846, he was married to Persis J. Hackett, who was born October 1, 1820, in Oxford, Chenango county, New York, daughter of George and Mercy (Hall) Hackett, natives of Connecticut. Mr. Griswold died October 10, 1865, but his widow, a most remarkable lady, is still living, making her home at Hortonville. They had a family of ten children, of whom Hall Griswold was the fifth in order of birth. He was born November 24, 1854, and he has spent his entire life on the old homestead, where his wife, Amanda (Rierich) Griswold, who was born in Dale township, Outagamie county, July 17, 1862, is also living. They had eight children. Winfield Griswold was born March 19, 1885, in Dale township, receiving his education in the district schools of his neighborhood, and his boyhood and youth were spent in working on the home and adjoining farms. At the age of twenty-three years he went to Shawano, where he spent one year, and in 1910 he was married to Edith Campbell, daughter of Herbert and Julia Campbell. Mr. Campbell was born in Dodge county and his wife in Fond du Lac, the former coming to Outagamie county in 1883 and the latter the year following. Mr. Campbell bought the farm now operated by Mr. Griswold in 1889, operating it until 1909, when he purchased another property in Ellington township, and at present he and his wife are living in Hortonville. Mr. and Mrs. Griswold have had one son: Herbert Hall, born March 15, 1911. Mr. Griswold is a republican in politics. He has a very well cultivated property, well equipped with substantial buildings and modern farm machinery, and its general prosperous appearance shows that the agricultural skill of this family is not lacking in the third generation.
