    DANIEL W. PILLSBURY of Centerville, Faulk county, was born in Canness, New

Hampshire, on the 30th day of June, 1847. He was the only son of Joseph D. and

Claracy (Abbot) Pillsbury. He lived there until his enlistment in the 57th

Illinois Regiment Volunteer Infantry, April 27th, 1861, for three years. A

re-enlistment in the veterans, extended his service until his final discharge.,

July 4th, 1865. After a residence in the state of Iowa for fifteen years, he

came to this county and located upon the government land in township 118, range

67, which is the present town of Centerville. In the early years of pioneer

life, his was little or no different from the common experience of those who

early came to Faulk county. Hardships and privation was the lot of all. The

years of failure of crops, the dry and hot wind, the repeated hail storms, the

inexperience in combatting with new conditions, made one continuous struggle.

The changing years brought change of conditions until prosperity has finally

crowned his efforts, and at the age of sixty-one he stands among the happy,

contented, prosperous farmers of Faulk county.



    Mr. Pillsbury recognizes the fact that in union there is strength and has

full companionship with his comrades in the Grand Army Post of which he is an

active member. He is also a member of the Royal Arch Chapter Free and Accepted

Masons at Faulkton, South Dakota.
