Nimrod Barrick, a farmer of Ellsworth township, lives on section 33, where he carries on agricultural pursuits and confines his operations to grain and cattle raising.
Mr. Barrick was born in Cedar county, Iowa, September 20, 1851, and is the son of Alpheus and Minerva (Porter) Barrick, natives of Virginia and Indiana respectively, who came to Meeker county in the spring of 1864, and settled in the town of Cedar Mills, where they still live. Mr. and Mrs. Alpheus Barrick were the parents of eight childrn-Isaac, Amos, Sarah, Scott, Nimrod, Nellie, James and Ethan. Isaac, one of those "whose faith and truth on war's red touchstone rang true metal," enlisted in Company H, Third Minnesota Infantry, and after nearly three years of service, died from exposure. Ethan died at the age of two years.
The subject of our sketch spent a portion of his early life in Rice county, Minn., where his father followed his trade, blacksmithing, until war times, then enlisted in Company A, Seventh Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, serving one year. During this time our subject attended district school, and in the fall of 1864 he, with the rest of his people, removed to Meeker county, Minn., and settled in Cedar Mills township, where he remained at home, assisting in the work and improving the place, until the fall of 1873, when he commenced life for himself and removed to the town of Ellsworth.
October 9, 1873, Mr. Barrick and Miss Julia Kennedy pledged their mutual vows at the marriage altar. The bride was a daughter of Dr. V. P. and Julia Ann (Rudisill) Kennedy, natives of Pennsylvania and Indiana respectively, and was herself born in Clay county, Ind. A history of her parents is given elsewhere in the pages of this ALBUM, to which the reader is referred. By this union Mr. and Mrs. Barrick have become the parents of three children, Roscoe, Vincent, and Baby, and their home is lightened by the merry sound of childhood's laugh and song.
In the spring of 1885, Mr. and Mrs. Barrick moved to Brown county, D. T., but becoming dissatisfied there, returned to Meeker county in the fall of the same year.
Our subject is republican in his principles, and affiliates with that organization. In local politics he takes considerable interest although, in no way a professional politician or an office seeker. In 1882 he was honored by the citizens of Ellsworth township, by having had bestowed upon him the office of town supervisor, and for four years filled that position. Several minor offices have, also, in him found a worthy and trusty administrator and he merits and receives the respect and esteem of the whole community.
