    Dr. Engesather Served Brocket — 1919-1950

   Dr. John A. D. Engesather was born September 22, 1886. He graduated from
medical school in 1902 and  served in the Army Medical Corps in France during
World War I.

   On June 18, 1925 he was married to Laura E. Norley. He established his
medical practice in 1919 in Brocket until 1950 when he moved to Lakota in
semi-retirement.

   Many memories and recollections are rich and varied; the almost continuous
travel with horses and covered bus during the tragic winter days of 1920 when
influenza ravaged our country. Many will remember if you were at homes where
doctors could not be reached by telephone, a lantern was hung on the  mail-box
as a signal for doctors to make their stop.

   While Doctor John was a resident of Brocket he was active in civic affairs
and served as the first commander of the Brocket American Legion Post and was a
member of the Vaage Lutheran Church.

   Doctor John Engesather passed away in June 1968. His wife Laura resides in
Lakota, North Dakota.
