SAKE ]. FrOshaug was born In Lee
county. ILL.,, December Is, 1867, son
of DR.. John O. and Caroline (Hanson)

natives OF Norway, and his father
died in 1889. They were married in
Norway, came to America in 1862,
lived in Illinois several years, then
returned to Norway but only for a
temporary residence. His father
spent his later years in active prac-
tiee at Twin Valley, MINI.
DR.. Sake ]. Froshaug was educated
In the common schools at Albert Lea,
Mimi, Lake Park, and Ada, and took
his medical degree at Chicago in 1895.
The following four years were spent
in the practice Of medicine In the
State of Texas, after which he was TO-
Gated for two years at Twin Valley,
MIMI, and since 1905 has been in &C.
tive pactice in this city. He has been
one OF the leading physicians of this
vicinity and the fine, modern hospital
erected by him is fitting monument
to his progressiveness. He was al.
ways active in any movement for the
bet rment Of the community and was
ever willing to give without stint of
his time and ability to forward any
movement for the gooc of his city. He
served as the head of the health de-
partment several years with tact and
ability. He represented Swift and
Big Stone counties as State Senator
for four years and was the author of
and helped frame into laws much pro-
gressive legislation. He was a good
citizen and will be greatly missed.

and entered upon the practice of his
profession quietly witho ut any spec
ial advertising, but such was the de-
votion to his calling that he was soon
in demand at all times and in all di-
rections. 1t mattered little to him
whether his patients had the where
with to reimburse him for his time
and attention; he went as willingly
to the poor and needy as to the we'll.
TODD. His heart was large and &C.
tive and the necessities Of mankind
ever found him ready to alleviate
them ii within his power. His un-
timely taking off will deprive many
in the lower walks Of life Of friend
whose place no one can fill. Aside
from his profession his rugged hon.
esty and friendliness made him we'll
wishers Of everyone he met, and he
had been here but a short time until
he had the good will Of everybody.
| In 1895 the Doctor was married to
Miss Clara Malmstead, and to this un-
ion four children were born-John A.,
