On This Date in Minnesota History: October 26

October 26, 1906 – An epidemic of the dreaded hog cholera has broken out in the towns of Hudson and Lake Mary, across the Douglas County line, and the farmers’ losses already foot up to $1,000.

State Veterinary Ward arrived today and immediately pronounced the disease cholera. Town boards have established quarantine on affected farms and ordered all hogs tied up or shot. Further investigation is being made.

If you are interested in finding out more about your family history in Minnesota, I specialize in researching  genealogical and historical records in Minn. and western Wis., including: census records,  birth records,  death certificates, obits, grave site photos, ship passenger lists, marriage records and declarations of intent/naturalization records. I will visit locations to research local history and county records, as well as take photos. Quick turnaround on MNHS records. Both short searches and family history reports available.
