Biography:
ROBERT GRANDY, who is now operating an excellent farm of 240 acres situated on section 26, Maine township, was born February 23, 1845, in Ontario, Canada, and is a son of John and Catherine (Cooper) Grandy, natives of Ireland, who emigrated to Canada as children with their parents and spent their entire lives in the Dominion. Robert Grandy was the youngest of a family of five children, and at the age of sixteen years he commenced serving an apprenticeship to the cabinet making trade at which he worked in Canada until he was twenty-three years of age, when he went to California and spent three and one-half years. He then located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he worked in the furniture factories for about five years, later being employed in the same line in Appleton, Wisconsin, and in the sash and blind works, and subsequently became superintendent of Walker's Toy Factory. He went from Appleton to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where he was foreman for the Payne Lumber Company and the Morgan Company, spending altogether about sixteen years. He then moved on to the farm on which he now lives, which he had bought some years before, locating on it about 1901, and he now has about sixty acres under cultivation. When he first located there he built a frame house which was destroyed by fire, and he later erected a larger and more modern house, and during the summer of 1911 built a basement barn, the lumber for both buildings being cut and sawed from his own property. In 1872 Mr. Grandy was married to Miss Jane Erratt, who was born June 23, 1845, in Ontario, Canada, a daughter of Irish parents who died in Ontario, at which place, prior to her marriage, she was a teacher in the public school. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Grandy: Eleanor Erratt, a teacher in the public schools of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Arthur Robert, who is single and living in Oshkosh, and Mable, a public school teacher in Chicago, Illinois. All three children are full-course graduates of the State Normal School at Oshkosh. Mr. Grandy is a republican in politics and for three years was chairman of the board of supervisors of Maine township. He and his wife are members of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Oshkosh. Mr. Grandy served during the Fenian Raid of 1866, as a non-commissioned officer of the Volunteer Field Artillery of Ontario, Canada, being a member of that organization for two years. For services rendered during that struggle he was granted 160 acres of land in New Ontario, which he still holds today. His son is a veteran of the Spanish-American War, serving in the infantry in Puerto Rico, and being mustered out of the service at Oshkosh at he close of the war.
