				W. W. AND C. F. SANDO. 

	W. W. and C. F. Sando are among the well known farmers of 
Minnehaha county and reside on section 10, Taopi township. Both are 
native sons of the county, born in Lyons township, the former on the 
19th of July, 1886, and the latter on the 23rd or August, 1888. They 
are sons of the Rev. O. O. Sando, the pioneer minister of the Lutheran 
church in this section of South Dakota, whose sketch is given above. He 
was for thirty years minister of the Nedaros Norwegian Lutheran church 
at Baltic and gave to his parishioners the best of his strength and 
thought. 

	W. W. and C. F. Sando received their elementary education in the 
public schools and also attended for one term the school at Wilmer, 
Minnesota, where they received commercial training. W. W. Sando was 
later a student in the Jones Auctioneering School in Chicago and was 
graduated from the same in the winter of 1913. Since then he has cried 
many sales in the state and has been very successful in securing good 
prices for the articles sold. He and his brother bought their present 
farm of one hundred and sixty acres on section 10, Taopi township, in 
the spring of 1914. They are now farming it together and are making a 
specialty of breeding pure bred shorthorn cattle and Duroc Jersey hogs, 
having over two hundred head of the latter. The brothers are well 
versed in the principles of animal husbandry and are among the most 
successful stock-raisers of the county. 

	Both are members of the Lutheran synod and, applying the 
teachings of the church to their daily lives, they merit and receive 
the sincere respect of all with whom they have been brought in contact. 
They give their political adherence to the republican party and they 
take a deep interest in all movements tending to the progress and 
advancement of their locality.
