Hellig, and was connected for year with a like establishment in Man- dan, North Dakota. He served at several
different times as deputy sheriff under his father and in 190S went to Butte county (now Perkins county), South Dakota, and homesteaded land.
Dick Shepherd, as
he
is familiarly known, is a wrestler of more than local reputation, although he has now retired from the mat. He has met some of the strongest opponents of the welter-weight class in the country and never once suf- fered defeat until his match with Walter Miller, at St. Paul, for the welter-weight championship. This event was pulled off at a time when Mr. Shepherd had been out of training for a number of years. In 1907 he decisively defeated Jolinny Billiter, of Toledo, Ohio, who at that time was the world's light-weight champion.
Richard S. Shepherd was married at Pipestone, in July, 1905, to Julia Roy, a native of the state. Mr. and Mrs. Shep- herd have two daughters, Ramona Lois and Maxine Louise.

Jaycox, who was born at Cold Springs, New York, in 1829, married Nancy LaFarge, also a na- tive of that New York town.

The family located near Moline, Illinois, where the father farmed until 1852, when he moved to Grant county, Wisconsin. In that county our sub- ject lived and followed agricultural pnr- suits until making settlement in the sonth- western Minnesota county in 1886. At that time he bought his present farm, the south- west quarter of section 22, Gray, upon which he has lived since, with the excep- tion of a few years spent in Elmer town- ship.

SOAN BERTELSEN (1898) is one of the influential and highly esteemed business men of Ruthton. He served efficiently as president of the council of that village for seven years, 1902 to 1909, and it was large-
ly through his efforts that many of the substantial public improvements in Ruthton were made. Chief among these must be mentioned the splendid system of graveled streets, unequalled by any other village in the county. Mr. Bertelsen sat as a member of the village council two years previous to being called to the presidency. He is also an ex-member of the hoard of education.
Mr. Bertelsen is a native Dane and was born September 19, 1848. In the land of his birth he early learned the blacksmith's trade, which he followed in Denmark and for five years after coming to the United States in 1881. During that period he was the proprietor of a shop in Litchfield, Min- nesota, which he left in 1886, to become a Lincoln county farmer. lle bought 200 acres of raw prairie land which he de- veloped into a finely improved farm.

Naily), of Mankato; Anna (Mrs. Charles Lenderman), of Ruthton; and Sorena (Mrs. Henry Harders), of Ruthton.

Their names are Lydia, Leon- ard, Merle and Mildred.
ANDREW RAE (1889) is one of the Rae brothers, who are prominently connected with the stone quarrying industry in Jas- per. Mr. Rae is one of the original pro- moters of this most successfully conduct- ed enterprise. The Jasper granite, so much in demand, was first quarried in 1888 by a company styled the Dell Rapids Granite company, of which George Rae, an elder brother of our subject, was one of the organizers. Andrew Rae became an interested party in the concern a year later. The original company was succeed- ed after a two years' existence by J. M. Poorbaugh & Company, and that firm gave way to the Sioux Valley Stone company.
In 1896 the Jasper Co-operative Stone company was organized with Andrew Rae as president and manager; William Rae, secretary and treasurer; and with Robert Rae and Alexander Rae as other promo- ters. That company leased and operated the quarries until 1908, when the present controlling concern, the Jasper Stone Quarry company, was formed, with the Rae brothers as leading stockholders. This concern is incorporated for $50,000 and has the exclusive quarrying rights to the rich building stone beds lying adjacent to the town of Jasper. The present officers of the company are J. O. Meham, presi- dent; C. H. Atkinson, auditor; A. L. Rowe, secretary and treasurer; Andrew Rae, quarry manager. From fifty to sev- enty-five men find employment in the quarries during the season of full opera- tion,
Jasper granite is known far and wide for
its excellence and durability and it has been used in the construction of some of the finest stone structures, both public and private, in the northwest and the country at large. The stone has been shipped as far east as New York City. Some of the prominent buildings Jasper stone has entered into the construction of include the residence of George Van Du- sen, in Minneapolis, costing $150,000; a Methodist church of Chicago, a $20,000 building; the following buildings in Sioux City with their values: The union depot, $230,000; Episcopal church, $60,000; John Poorbaugh, residence, $25,000; Masonic temple, $35,000; the University of the Northwest, $35,000; at Pipestone, the United States Indian school, $30,000; Ma- sonic temple, $15,000; the court house; the Masonic temple at Sioux Falls, and the building of the Edwards Publishing company in Chicago. The paving blocks manufactured by the company are in use in many of the principal cities of the country. At the World's Columbian Expo- sition in Chicago this stone received the first award.
In Scotland, on May 2, 1863, the son of George and Barhara (Farquhr) Rae, was born Andrew Rae of this biography. In the land of Scots he was educated and there became proficient in the stone ma- son's trade, which he learned under the tutelage of his father. At the age of nineteen, in 1882, Andrew crossed the broad Atlantic to cast his fortunes in the new world. He followed his occupation for a year at Waterloo and Montello, Wis- consin, and then went to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he worked at his trade. At the end of two years Mr. Rae returned to Scotland, and at Peter Cul- ter, Aberdeenshire, on February 13, 1885, he was joined in marriage to Barbara Wallace.
