Henry W. LUND, of Canaan [Essex County, Vermont], was born 11 October 1854 in 
Granby [Essex County, Vermont], son of Hezekiah and Mary (SHORES) LUND. He 
commenced his education at district school No. 2, of Granby, from which more 
teachers and professional men have come than any other district of its size 
in that section of the state. He continued his studies at St. Johnsbury 
Academy [Caledonia County, Vermont] and then commenced reading law with Hon. 
H. C. BATES of St. Johnsbury, completing his professional training with 
George W. HARTSHORN, Esq., at Canaan. He was admitted to the bar of Essex 
County at the March term of 1884, and immediately opened an office in Canaan, 
in which locality he has remained and by assiduity and energy has secured a 
large connection and profitable practice.

Mr. LUND is a self-made man, and by teaching paid all the necessary expense 
incurred in obtaining his education, and while pursuing his legal studies. 
When only twenty-one he was elected superintendent of schools in Granby and 
he has held a similar appointment in the town of Canaan. In 1892 he was made 
state's attorney and still fills that office. He is a young man of keen 
observation, ready wit, and resolute will, and will undoubtedly, if he so 
elects, become prominent in town and county affairs. In 1881 he [Henry W. 
LUND] was married to Carrie V., daughter of Sylvester P. and Carrie (COLBURN) 
JONES of Canaan [Essex County, Vermont], formerly of Farmington [Franklin 
County], Maine.
