George H. Stoddard Biography

This biography is from "Memorial and biographical record an illustrated compendium of biography, containing a compendium of local biography, including biographical sketches of prominent old settlers and representative citizens of South Dakota..." Published by G. A. Ogle & Co., Chicago, 1899. Pages 533-534

GEORGE H. STODDARD, a well known and highly esteemed citizen of Faulk county, is now most creditably and satisfactorily filling the office of register of deeds, to which position he was elected in the fall of 1898 on the Republican ticket. He is a recognized leader of that party in his community and does all in his power to advance its interests and insure its success. He also takes an active interest in educational affairs, and has served as school clerk for three years and a half.

Mr. Stoddard was born in 1857 at Brady's Bend, sixty miles from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a son of Holmes and Ellen (Davis) Stoddard, in whose family were nine children, our subject being the second in order of birth. The father, who was an ironworker, was born in this country, as was also the grandfather, but the great-grandfather was a native of England. He came to America prior to the Revolutionary war, and when the colonies took up arms against the mother country he aided them, as a soldier of the Continental army, in achieving their independence. The mother of our subject was born in England and came to the United States with her parents when a girl of fourteen years. Her father, John Davis, was also an ironworker.

When three years of age George H. Stoddard accompanied his parents on they're removal to Elmira, New York, where he grew to manhood and was educated, graduating from the high school at that place. There he later engaged in clerking in a store for five months, and for three years was employed as an ironworker. About 1878 he became connected with railroading as a brakeman and held that position for four years. Coming west, he landed in Faulk County, South Dakota, March 24, 1883, and immediately took up a homestead on which he erected a claim shanty, 10 x 12 feet. At first he and two companions engaged in farming together, owning between them three horses, a yoke of cattle. a plow, mowers, etc. At that time all supplies had to be hauled from Northville, a distance of twenty miles. Mr. Stoddard started here with a capital of seven hundred and fifty dollars, and is now the owner of a valuable farm of three hundred and twenty acres, two hundred of which he has placed under a high state of cultivation and improved with good and substantial buildings. He continued to actively engage in agricultural pursuits until January 1899, when he removed to Faulkton to assume the duties of his present office. In the fall of 1885 his entire property was destroyed by fire, including house, barn, granary, hay, etc., his whole quarter section being burned black. His loss amounted to over one thousand dollars. Notwithstanding this misfortune he has prospered in his adopted state. He is engaged principally in the raising of grain and his crops have averaged ten bushels per acre.

In 1885 Mr. Stoddard led to the marriage altar Miss Elfie N. Deloy, a native of Wisconsin and a daughter of Joseph Deloy, a farmer who was born in France, and was proud of his French descent. To our subject and his wife have been born six children, namely: George E., Charles E., Mary E., Ruth M., Florence E. and Clarence D. H. The parents are earnest and consistent members of the Congregational church of Myron, Faulk County, and socially Mr. Stoddard belongs to the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
