ShookRemark: This biography of Day Imus was published in An Illustrated History of the Big Bend Country (1904, p. 861):"DAY IMUS deals in real estate and negotiates loans in Lind, Washington. A native of Mountayr, Ringgold County, Iowa, he was born April 16, 1875, the son of L. O. and Jane (Smith) Imus, natives, respectively of Michigan and Indiana. The parents came to Ringgold County when both were young, married and are still living there. The grandfather on the father's side, came from Illinois to Iowa in 1854, and upon returning for his family was drowned while crossing a stream. Mr. and Mrs. Imus have been parents of seven children: Mrs. Elsie Middleton; Day, Smith, deceased, Agnes, Quay, Amy and Tama.Mr. Imus received a good common school education in his native town, which he later supplemented by a business course in the Indianola College. From the time he became fourteen years of age he practically had the management of his father's farm until he became twenty-three. He came to Lind at that age, and engaged in buying horses to ship to Iowa, which business he followed for one year. He then took a homestead near Lind, which he put in an excellent state of cultivation and improvement. In 1901 he engaged in the real estate and loan business in Lind, and has followed that occupation to his profit ever since. He has bought and sold many tracts of farm land and many city lots in the Big Bend, since entering the business. Recently he sold his homestead and purchased for himself a quarter-section of land near Cunningham, Washington. He was the first real estate agent ever to establish a business in Lind.Politically, Mr. Imus affiliates with the Republican party, and is quite active in his party's affairs. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Lind, helped organize the first Methodist Sunday school there, and is now superintendent of that institution."Source:Western Historical Publishing Company. 1904.
