Ellendale. . . 0ur Home Town In the year 1900 the little hamlet known as Ellendale was founded. The former Elling Ellingson, Sr., farm, which was plotted by the New Burlington Railroad. Negotiations were made by the Townsite Man, the Hon. Thomas H. Brown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, who nainedthe new village in honor of Mrs. Ives, wife of the railroad president, whose maiden name was Ellen Dale. Today, as in the days of yesteryear, a portrait of Ellen Dale is displayed in our school library. The only remaining business man from the group of pioneer establishments in 1950 is Martin P. Miller, who began his plumbing and hardware firm with his co- partner, Theo. Jenson, in possibly the year 1905. However, Frank R. Randall, a pioneer stockbuyer, resides one-half mile south of the village at present. Furthermore, Nels Norby, an early hotel proprietor, lives within our village limits. We are privileged to have in our midst several other early folks: for instance, W. A. Gahagan, former rural mail carrier, and Erick Ellingson and Albert Lageson, who operated general merchandise firms within the village during the formative period of Ellenda1e's history. 1.3-1
