He was a man of great industry and tireless energy. No toil was too much for him, no sacrifice too great if made for his family or for the cause of humanity. He lived for home and family and for all the things worth while in life. He established a good home, brightened by the presence of a gracious wife, and together they labored to rear their children, and educate them as useful men and women. Loyal D. Colby was born in East Orange, Orange County, Vermont, April 20, 1836, son of Jonathan and Malinda (Proutt) Colby. He was reared and educated in his native town. In 1855 he and his father went to California, by way of the Isthmus of Panama, and spent two years in the mines known as Garrotte No. 2, near Big Oak Flats. Then they returned to their home in Vermont.

Upon their arrival here they settled in Whitewater Township, in Winona County. Three years later they settled in Plainview Township, a few miles southeast of the village. Here they developed a good farm. Royal D. assisted his father with the farm work, and for several years taught school, his longest service being in the Whitewater Falls district. In 1863 he purchased 80 acres in section 16, Plainview Township, and to this place in 1867 he brought his bride.

Seeking information on John, father of Lucius H. Colby. The following is what we know about the family. It has been said that he was the son of John and Annas ? Colby of Goshen, Connecticut.

Lucius was a prosperous farmer and raiser of full-blooded stock, and of influence in the community in whiched he lived. He was an inventive turn of mind, and as an illustration of this it may be worthy of mention that having purchased of of the first moing machines sold in that section, he found upon trail that it was a very crude affair and worked heavily, so the following winter he set to work to improve it. This he did, by changing the mechanism as to add another whell to the machine, which greatly improved it, and thus constructed what was probably the first two whell mowing machine ever built. Letters patent on various inventions were also granted to him. About 1848 he removed with his family to Scipio.
