				ANDREW BEVERIDGE. 

	Andrew Beveridge, a prominent figure in real-estate circles in 
Sioux Falls, has reached the Psalmist,s allotted span of three score 
years and ten but is a most vigorous, active man—a force in the 
business circles in which he moves. He was born in West Hebron, 
Washington county, New York, December 2, 1844, and was seven years of 
age when he went with his family to Illinois, settling in De Kalb. The 
family home was eighteen miles west of the terminus of the railroad and 
pioneer conditions prevailed there. Again he became identified with 
frontier life when in 1884 he took up his abode in Sioux Falls, which 
at that time was a small town. 

	In the meantime Andrew Beveridge had pursued a public-school 
education in Illinois and had completed a course in Monmouth College by 
graduation with the class of 1865. Only ten members of that class still 
survive and they are now widely scattered, being found in various parts 
of the world. Before his college course was completed, however, Mr. 
Beveridge rendered military aid to his country, joining Company A, of 
the One Hundred and Thirty eighth Illinois Infantry, in 1864, when a 
youth of nineteen years. He served with that come mend for six months 
and then at the close of the war returned to his home. 

	In 1873 Mr. Beveridge was united in marriage to Miss Myra E. 
Dewey, who was born in Lenox, Berkshire county, Massachusetts. They had 
three children, of whom two are living: Max F., who is connected with 
the Cadillac Sales Company at Sioux Falls; and Mrs. H. Marshall, who 
also resides at Sioux Falls and who has three children, Bertram Butler, 
Clifford and Andrew Donald. 

	Mr. Beveridge takes much interest in politics and served as 
chairman of the democratic central committee for a number of years. He 
has been a resident of Sioux Falls for thirty one years. He is now 
actively engaged in the real-estate business and his enterprise and 
energy are factors in his substantial success. He has thoroughly 
acquainted himself with realty values, knows the property that is upon 
the market and as the years have gone on has so directed his labors as 
to gain a gratifying prosperity. Moreover, the integrity of his 
business methods is unassailable and he is accorded the high regard and 
goodwill of those with whom he comes in contact through business or 
social relations
