                WILLIAM E. CUNDY (son of JOHN CUNDY) was born at Char-
              lotte, New Brunswick, Aug. 13, 1838. He attended the schools
              at Baring, Maine, where he also got his first insight into
              the lumber business. In 1854 he came with his parents to
              Minnesota, arriving at Anoka October 12th of that year. The
              family lived at the Fairbanks boarding house until a house
              could be constructed. Mr. CUNDY first went to work at the
              saw mill of Dunn & Farnham, and worked successively for A. P.
              LANE, JAMES McCANN, AMMI CUTTER, W. D. Washburn & Co. and
              Reed & Sherwood. He enlisted in April 1861, at St. Anthony
              in Company E, First Minnesota Regiment, and was discharged
              with his regiment at the close of the three years term. Mr.
              CUNDY participated in the battle of Bull Run, and at Antie-
              tam, where he was wounded and captured. He was afterwards
              exchanged and took part in both battles of Fredericksburg
              and the battle of Gettysburg. Mr. CUNDY was married Sept.
              22, 1864, to ALICE D. FROST. Children: ERNEST W., ALICE S.
              (Mrs. FREDERICK GODECKE), NARCISSA L., GEORGE B. and JOHN G.
