    FREDERICK D. PERSON was born September 28, 1854, in Clyde, Iowa county,

Wisconsin, and on September 12, 1885, came to Faulk county, South Dakota, and

located in what is now the town of Union. On March 14, 1889, he was married to

Miss Amanda S. Larson, of Dodgeville, Wisconsin. To them have been born two

daughters, the first died at the age of two years, the second, Lucile Irene, now

sixteen years of age, is a graduate of the Aberdeen high school and now

attending the normal school in that city. Mr. Person has had a full experience

of the hardships and privations of Dakota pioneer life. For the first ten years

it was a constant struggle with hail and storm, dry, hot winds and drought. With

climatic changes largely brought about by artesian waters, producing beautiful

lakes of clear pure water, abundant crops and unusual prosperity has followed.

Mr. Person has a beautiful home, a cut of which may be found on page 251 of this

history. Nearby is a beautiful lake of five acres of clear pure water surrounded

with a border of thrifty trees. He has six hundred and forty acres of the best

of Dakota soil, seventeen head of horses, fifty head of neat cattle and thirty

hogs. With three hundred and fifty acres under cultivation and all necessary

machinery for farming, $40.00 per acre would not be considered a good offer for

the farm. Mr. Person is also a stockholder and vice president of the Chelsea

State Bank.
