• Notes

  He was a farmer and judge near Manchester Iowa and represented the State of Iowa in the World's Fair in Chicago. The "History of Delaware County" book has lots of information about him. He and his dad first came to Adams County Wisconsin in fall of 1854 before going to Delaware County Iowa. The book "History of Adams County" has information about the Clutes. Howard Clute said L.G. worked on the Mississippi River to get enough money to buy land in Iowa. He hired Indians to clear the land he farmed. William Clute moved to South Dakota and made lots of money for three years growing corn, which prompted L.G. to use much of his money to buy land in South Dakota. The next 7 years were drought years when everything was lost. Claude Clute and Roe Clute used to talk about the hard times in South Dakota recounting the time when they had to burn hay to keep warm. L.G. Clute was probably the richest and most famous Clute of all times with 247 acres of land in 1887 worth $10,000 and a justice of the Peace for many years. A lengthy obituary was written about him when he died. His wife wrote the story of her life before she died. I have a copy.
