ALONZO J. EDGERTON

Alonzo J. Edgerton, United States district judge, died at his home in Sioux Falls Sunday, after a long and painful sickness. His death, while sudden, was not unexpected. For the past three years Mr. Edgerton has been in poor health, and while friends had hoped for better health for him, they knew that at any time he might pass away. Judge Edgerton was born in Rome, N.Y. in 1831, and was graduated from the Wesleyan University of Connecticut in 1858, and in the same year was married to Miss Sarah Curtis of that state. In 1858 the young couple located in Minnesota, where the judge was admitted to the bar and began the practice of law. In 1859 he represented the people of the 13th senatorial district in the state legislature. He was appointed railroad commissioner of Minnesota by Gov. Austin on January 10, 1872, and in 1881 was appointed by Governor Pillsbury, to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement from the senate by Windom, who was made secretary of the treasury under Garfield. In December, 1881, he was appointed chief justice of Dakota. He then removed with his family to Yankton, and served as chief justice for four years. Afterwards removed to Mitchell and opened his law books again, and continued to reside there until appointed United States district judge by President Harrison in 1889. He then removed to Sioux Falls, which continued to be his home until his death Sunday. Nearly his entire life was spent in public service. The death of Judge Edgerton removes from the theater of life ne more of the men who were distinctly prominent in the days of our territorial government, and who made the fight for the statehood. In his death the state loses one of tits strong men, the city of Sioux Falls, a worthy citizen, and the surviving members of his family a kind husband and loving father.
