The Founder or Faribault, Mimi.
Alexander Faribault, who died last week,
succeeding at an early age to the large and
lucrative trade of his father, one of the old
school of French gentlemen whose advent
urous spirit carried the commerce of
France to the remotest confines of the
Northwestern wilderness, and connected by
marriage with the Wapakuta band of Dako-
tas, whose hunting lodges were located up
on the site of the present city of Fari-
bault, he established a trading pest at
that point and built commodious resi-
denoe before the tide of immigration had
begun to flow. Thus favorably situated
for selecting the most beautiful sites OF
the many beautiful ones in the vicinity;
he became and was, when the town pro-
only the site selected, but of many of the
the finest farms in its immediate vicinity:
and, In 1857, when the growth of the city
commenced, was by tar the wealthiest
man in it, and so continued for some
years. But 1t was the old story which has
been exemplified in the lives of SO many
of the families of mixed blood who laid
the foundations of our now prosperous
commonwealth-the talents which fitted
for success in the rude commerce of the
frontier proved inadequate to compete with
the energy and thrift of the adventurous
Yankee, who was now pushing into the
country. His large property gradually
but steadily diminished, until, in the last
years of his life, he was dependant upon
the charity of his. old friends among the
early settlers of the state. Among those
who generously came to his aid in the days
of his adversely the names of Gen. Sibley
and Norman Kitson Of st. Paul were con-
spicuous, and it is pleasure to know that
he was not allowed to want Or to rely
upon the colder charities of the public.
