Mr. Darling was a very successful farmer and had acquired considerable land in several states. From 1883 until 1914 he farmed near Montrose,S. D., retiring in the latter year when he and his family moved to Decorah where the family home has since been.

The deceased was a highly esteemed citizen, a gentleman of high personal worth, progressive, able and upright citizen and the place he held in the respect and esteem of his neighibors was worthily won by by many years of honorable and straightforward dealings.
