ZEB STOUT, the popular ex-sheriff of Turner county, was born in Kildare,
Ireland, August 1, 1853. He is a son of James P. and Mary (Creig) Stout, both
natives of the Emerald Isle. The former was a blacksmith by trade and emigrated
to America when our subject was but six years of age, locating on a farm in
Grant county, Wis., where he died in 1862. His aged wife still resides in
Hurley, ninety-three years old. They were the parents of eleven children, our
subject being the ninth child in order of their birth.

   Zeb was reared in Wisconsin where he grew to maturity, and  was employed as
foreman in the lead mines located in Grant county. There also he was married in
March, 1871, to Miss Alice Narse, a native of Wisconsin, and a daughter of
Monroe and Nora (Alderman) Narse. Immediately after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs.
Stout came to Turner county, Dak. Ter., and located in Childs township, where he
homesteaded 160 acres. They lived on this property, proved up and then sold out,
buying a farm in Swan Lake township, where they made their home from 1877 till
1892, when he was elected sheriff of Turner county and removed to the village of
Parker. In 1894 he was re-elected to the same position, serving in all four
years. He has also been chairman of the school board of Hurley township for six
years, and is a member of Parker lodge No. 98, I. O. O. F., and the Masonic
fraternity lodge of the same place. In politics Mr. Stout is a Republican of the
stanchest variety and strongly supports that party's principles.

   Mr. and Mrs. Stout have two children, Millie and Jesse.
