- Dwight Henry Day was born in 1829 in Rome, New York. Rome is located about 30 miles east of Syracuse, NY or about 200 miles straight south of Ottawa, Ontario. Rome has a population of about 55,000 located in Oneida County.
In the 1850 census Dwight Day was living with his father Alfred Day and a Miss Dopp, aged 70 years, on a farm near Rome, NY.
In 1869 Dwight H. Day was reported to be a farmer living on lot 1 in Rome, NY and leasing 45 acres of land.
In the 1870 census Dwight Day was reported to be farming in Oneida County near Rome, NY. Real estated owned was valued at $3,500 and the value of Dwight's personal estated was reported to be $900. Dwight's family at this time consisted of his wife Betsey (aged 30, occupation: keeping house), Anna (13), Nellie (10), Emma (8), Abram (5), William (3), and Elijah (1). Baby Elijah appears to be George E. Day.
In the June 1880 census Dwight Day was reported to be a laborer living in Oneida County, (first Ward|), Rome, NY. At this time Dwight's family consisted of his wife Betsy (aged 40), and their children William (aged 13), George (12, at school) and Franklin (4). It was reported that Dwight "cannot write" and that Betsy "cannot read or write".
Dwight Henry Day and family left New York in 1884 and settled at Big Stone and in Hammond (Zumbro Township), Minnesota, where they lived on a farm until Dwight's death in 1913. Dwight died at his home in South Troy Sunday evening at 8:15 after an illness lasting more than two months. Dwight was a successful fruit grower and a splendid gardener. He supplied fruit and vegetables to many homes in Zumbro Falls. Dwight was held in high regard by all his neighbors and friends. The funeral services were held in the school house with Rev. Carkuff officiating.
