  WILLIAM MALCOLM, of Bigelow township, owns and farms 327 acres on sections

three and four. He is a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, where he was born July 27,

1855. At the age of 26 years he left his native land and went to the island of

Trinidad, where for three and one-half years he held the position of overseer of

a large sugar plantation. He then crossed South America to the Panama canal,

stopped there a short time, and then went to San Francisco, Cal. In that city he

was in the hospital several weeks, his health having been broken down by his

long residence in the tropics.



  After leaving the hospital Mr. Malcolm went to Lemars, Iowa, and engaged in

farming. During the month of December, 1886, he returned to Scotland, and on

Jan. 27, 1888, was united in marriage to Miss Elsie Horne. To them were born the

following children: Willie, Margaret and Mary. Mrs. Malcolm died Aug. 3, 1901.

After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm returned to the United States and took

up their residence in Jackson county, Minn., where Mr. Malcolm owned a quarter

section of land. After farming there eighteen months, he sold out and moved to

Nobles county, buying the Bigelow township farm where he has ever since resided.

During his residence here he has served ten years as director and treasurer of

school district No. 28.
