ADAM MINK has since April, 1890, been connected with the business interests of Dubuque, and is now the senior member of the firm of Mink & Royce, wholesale dealers in wood and coal of Dubuque. A native of the Empire State, he was born in Oneida County, January 4, 1835. His parents, F. Valentine and Mary A. (Yocum) Mink, were both natives of Germany, and in an early flay crossed the Atlantic and took up their residence in New York.

Under the parental roof Mr. Mink of this sketch was reared to manhood, and during his childhood became familiar with all the duties of agricultural life. He aided his father in the cultivation of the home farm until twenty-two years of age, when he left home and went to Pennsylvania. Taking up his residence in Montgomery County, he there sought and secured employment in a rolling mill, where he worked for three years. At the close of the war he removed to East Dubuque, Ill., where he made his home for a time and then went to Wisconsin, settling in Grant County. He there resumed farming, and for a quarter of a century carried on agricultural pursuits. His land was always highly cultivated and well improved and the neat appearance of his place indicated to the passerby the thrift and enterprise of the owner. While in Wisconsin he also spent ten years of the time in carrying on a store in Burton.

The year 1890 witnessed the arrival of Mr. Mink in Dubuque. In the month of April he took up his residence in this city, and formed a partnership with Charles Leason in the line of general merchandising. At the same time they also began handling wood. Mr. Mink carried on the mercantile establishment for two years and then sold out, but his connection with the wood and coal business has been continuous, and from the beginning his trade has constantly increased. In 1893 he handled four thousand cords of wood. He has led a busy and useful life, but has yet found time to faithfully perform his duties of citizenship. He votes with the Democratic Party.

The lady who bears the name of Mrs. Mink was in her maidenhood Catherine Miller. She is a native of Germany and became the wife of our subject in 1857. By their union have been born eight children, four sons and four daughters, but George F., the second in order of birth, is now deceased. The others are William V., Elmer E., John Henry, Carrie, Minnie, Katie Amelia and Addie Belle. They reside at No. 938 West Third Street, where they have a pleasant and comfortable home.
