    ELLSWORTH S. SECKNER, was born in New York, December 14, 1861. In 1865 his

parents moved to Wisconsin and in 1878 they removed to the state of Iowa, and.

remained in that state until his removal to Dakota Territory, in 1884. Mr.

Seckner located near the county line between Hand and Faulk counties and was

counted as one of the Ellisville settlement. There were hardships and privations

without number, but amidst them all he never lost faith in Dakota. He now has

320 acres of as fine land as can be found in central South Dakota and in

addition is renting three quarter sections. He has under fence three hundred

acres. On his own land he has four fine wells of pure water, at a depth of 50

feet, with good farm buildings, forty head of neat stock, fourteen horses, and

fifty sheep. Mr. Seckner has everything to satisfy the average Dakota citizen.

In 1886 Mr. Seckner was united in marriage with Chloe Miller from the state of

New York, and enjoys a happy home.
