    ADAM SANGSTER was born in Scotland, July 28th, 1843, and was married to

Louisa Lowe in January, 1857. In 1874, with his wife and two children, Mr.

Sangster sailed from Liverpool for New York, from there to Wabasha county,

Minnesota, where he remained until the 27th of May, 1884, when he located on the

north-west quarter of section 18, township 118, range 71, Faulk county, and

returned to Minnesota for his family, consisting of his wife and six children.

Since coming to Faulk country he has-added two more to his family. Through the

years of hail, storms and drought, with the prevailing hot winds that drove so

many of the pioneer settlers from Faulk county,. Mr. Sangster experienced with

his large family a full share of hardships and privations. Yet never faltering,

never ready to say die, he worked on, struggled on, with faith in Him who had

promised the seed time and harvest, until adversity was changed to prosperity,

and not only the necessaries, but the comforts of life were assured.



    Mr. Sangster has added to the land he located as a homestead another quarter

section. He has an excellent .set of farm buildings, good farm machinery for

diversified farming, and everything that goes to make a first class agricultural

home.



    Since 1888 he has held the office of postmaster at the Ellisville postoffice

to the perfect satisfaction of the surrounding community, and a few weeks since

he received a very polite invitation from the postmaster general to file his

bond for another four year's service.



    Mr. Sangster has almost constantly filled the office of school township

treasurer or clerk of Ellisville township and is now finishing up his second

term of four years as treasurer. An illustration of Mr. Sangster's beautiful

home may be seen on page 89 of this history.
