Sank Lake. Today Sank Centre
is approximately three hours drive
from Minneapolis.
However, Sank Lake is not the
only desirable beauty spot in this
vicinity. Fairy Lake, with probab-
ly the finest bathing beach in the
state, is about three miles west of
the city. Little and Big Birch on
Highway No. %, eight and IL
miles distant from Sank Centre,
already have many beautiful sum-
mer homes. People in large num-
bers from Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska visit these lakes every
summer.
For the accommodation of the
tourist the city maintains a splen-
did tourist park on the shore of
Sank Lake, near the golk course.
Sank Centres churches, Protes-
tant and Catholic are modern. The
pastors without exception are
strong men.
Sank Centre is the home of the
Stearns County Fair. If the tour
list from the East has the notion
that this community is a wilder
ness, visit to the Stearns County
Fair will present to his eye pure
bred dairy and beef stock, swine
and poultry in abundance, while
the agricultural exhibits will rank
with the best in the state.
Minnesota makes more choice
butter than any state in the union.
Sank Centre manufactures an
nually more sweet cream butter
than any creamery in Minnesota.
The total output of the two cream
cries in this city in 1927 was ap-
proximately 100000 pounds.
Sank Centre people travel east
or west, north or south and return
to the old town fully convinced
that they live in the garden spot
of the world.
With splendid educational adj
vantages, full opportunity to wor-
ship God in any manner they
choose, to have fraternal fellow
ship with strong organizations, to
be able to secure modern merchan-
disc at reasonable prices; to enjoy
golf if they care to; to catch game
first to their hearts content; battle
in the cooling waters of number
of beautiful lakes; travel in or out
of the city in every direction over
splendid highways; mingle with the
genial, wholesome, law-abiding
people is the privilege of Sank
Centre Citizens. They have all Of
these advantages at home. Why
shouldn't they be sold on their own
community?
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1928-06-07

The young man has had but lit
tie professional training. He had
a natural talent for the game and
by persistent plugging he has de-
veloped into on of the best ANA
teur golfers in the northwest.
The directors of the Sank Gen.
tire Club have had a desire to keep
the dues as low as possible in
order that many of the residents
would become interested. The
dues for 1923 are $1,000 for the
season male adults; $500 per sea-
son for the ladies and young peo-
pie between the ages of 16 and 81.
Youngsters are allowed the free
use of the course at certain times
during every week day. There are
many real golfers in the making in
Sank Centre.
A beautiful tennis court is also
maintained by the Country Club.
Hundreds play during the season,
but the income from tennis is neg
ligible.
Last year the players from the
Sank Centre Country Club played
Alexandria, st. Cloud, Little Falls
and Glenwood two tournaments
each, losing two out of eight by
small margins.
Last year the City Council pur-
chased the Tourist and Commun-
ity parks from the Corporation for
$4,000. The grass greens and
waterworks cost approximately
$4,000. At the present time there
are 90 shares outstanding. The cor
poration is free from debt.
The directors for 1923 are:
D. B. Caughren, A. F. Moyni-
han, F. w. Sprague, H. F. Henne-
mann, w. M. Parker v. T. Conk-
lin, r. E. Hansen, C. E. Harrison,

This was purely citizen soldiery
company, the only member of the
company that had had any previous
military training of any kind was
Lieutenant Stabler, who had served
Maine Rifllemen, his commission
as Lieutenant in a company of
bearing the date May II, 1857 and
signed by Samuel Wells, Governor
of Maine.
"Company b., 9th Minnesota,
Captain George F. Pettitt COM
handing, built the larger stockade
during the winter and spring of
1862-63. This stockade was located
where, at the time, the Pendergast
store and barn stood. The ground
where the church of Our Lady of
the Angels now stands. The streets
east and west and the streets north
and south of the Oliver Boobar
residence were included in the
stockade. This stockade was con.
structed of tamarac logs set on
end, the walls being about twelve
feet high and enclosing an area of
about two acres. At the northwest
and southwest corners two hewed
log bastions, constructed of oak
logs, were erected.
"These bastions were two stories
high and provided with loop holes
and of sufficient capacity to hold
about 40 men each. The principal
entrance gate fronted the east and
stood near where the former Frank
Eddy residence is now located.
North of this gate, on the inside,
were several log buildings, includ.
ing a guard house, hospital and
officers quarters. The Pendergast
log barn was used as the Quarter
masters Commissary and Ware
house. On the south side were the
mems quarters sufficient to accom-
odate two companies of infantry.
"On the west side were stables
sufficient $50 horses and mules.

of being on Federal Highways No.
10 S., from the East on No. 3, and
No. II from the southwest on
No. 4.
In the building of County or
state aid roads Sank Centre has
been we'll cared for. Splendid
thoroughfares run to Brooten and
Belgrade on the south. Last year
the Highway Committee of the
Community Club, in cooperation
with citizens from Holdingford and
other points, secured the designa-
ton of new county road between
Sank Centre and Holdingford. It
will take a year or two to complete
this highway. When finished it
will open a large additional and
desirable territory for this city.
Another striking evidence of
Sank Centres modernism is the
splendid nine-hole golf course on
the shore of Sank Lake, within
the city limits. The property is
owned by the Sank Centre Coun-
try Club. The organization is out
of debt. The course is beauty
with wonderful bent grass greens.
The nine holes measure a trifie
over $500 yards. There are
something like As traps and
bunkers, and experts visiting the
course say it is plenty tough to
suit the fastidious tastes of any
golfer.
The annual tournament of the
Central Minnesota Golf Association
will be played on the Sank Centre
course in July of this year.
Golf is probably played at less
expense in Sank Centre than any
other place anywhere when the
advantages are taken into consid-
Grafton. The annual dues for men
is $1,000 each per year. Women
and boys and girls between 16 and
FL play for $500 per year. Kid
dies under 16 are allowed to play
free under certain conditions.
Something over 200 golfers of
varying ages are playing each
year.
The Country Club has also
built two very fine tennis courts.
The income from this sport is neg
ligible, but the Country Club men,
bers hav a desire to make the life
of the youngsters of the commun-
ity, wholesome, healthful and
enjoyable.
The building of Highway No. 4
opens much desirable lake shore
property. It will not be many
years before Twin City people will
be having their summer homes on

Mai. Howard Reviews History

Major John R. Howard, one of
the early residents Of Sank Centre,
for years an Indian agent at White
Earth and now Commandant of the
Soldiers Home, Minneapolis, writes
as follows of military activities in
the Stockaie:
Company B. 9th Minnesota
were the first troops to garrison
this stockade. Other troops who
were there later were: Company
e. End Minnesota Cavalry; Com
pany * End Minnesota Cavalry /;
a detachment of infantry, the mem
bers of which had formerly served
in the confederate army; and one
company of the regular army were
stationed here for a short time.
81 served as Post Adjutant
Quartermaster and Commissary
from November 1864 until Novem-
Der 1865, when I was mustered
out with my company at Fort
Smelling. Capt. George C. Whit
comb, of Hatche's battalion was
garrisonei at this post a portion
of the winter of 1866. Capt.
George Boyd of Company sE' of
Hatche's was also stationed at this
stockade during the summer of
1865. DR.. B. r. Palmer was Post
Surgeon from 1862 to 1866 when
the post was abandoned.
"Joseph Capser had a trading
post just outside the stockade.
"The first temporary stockade
was located just east of the street
running north and south, east of
the Church of Our Lady of the
Angels (now Birch and Seventh
streets). It was built by Captain
S. Ramsdell's company Of militia,
under the direct supervision of
Second Lieut.. D. StaIbler. Captain
Ramsdell's was a militia company,
organized August 25th "for de-
tense against the Indians" and
served until October 25, 1862,
when it was succeeded by govern
ment troops.
"The following is the Roster of
the company: S. Ramsdell, Cap
tain; J. C. Hoffman, First Lieuten-
ant; Dean Stabler, Second Lieuten-
ant; E. A. Harmon, First Sergeant;
G. E. Fairfield, Sergeant; II. A.

Sank Centres Country Club
CONTINUED From Page One)

A bee was organized and sever
al hundred men gave freely of
their time. Hands were blistered
and backs were made lame cleaning
out underbrush. Today, one of the
most popular drives in the city is
around the Country Club.
Lake shore residence lots were
laid out, enough being reserved
for the tourist and community
park. The residence lots found
ready sale and today there are
more than a dozen cozy summer
homes on the lake shore within the
city's corporate limits.
In the fall Of 1921 the south %
acres was sold to the Home Saw
ings and Investment Co., Of Will
mar for $4,000, cash. This sale,
together with the money received
for the Lake Shore lots put the
corporation on easy street.
The interest in the old Scotch
game was contagious. In 1926
over 200 young and old were play
ing and most Of them have &C
quired first class alibis.
In 1927 connection was made
with the City Waterworks system
and Bent grass greens were laid
out.
Every year additional bunkers
and traps have been installed. To
day there are about As trouble
makers. The nine holes measure
approximately $500 yards. Par is
81.
Visiting experts who have play
ed the course this season say that
the entries in the Central Mime
sofa Golf tournament which will be
played on the Sank Centre Course
in July, will have plenty of trouble
making par scores.
Walter Moynihan who started
golf after the Sank Centre course
was laid out will be the defending
champion of the Central Minneso-
ia tournament.

SECTION ONE

our ground to defend our families,
our homes and our property as far
as we can. We have secuted the
country round for twenty or thirty
miles and we have kept out most
of the time so far as we have been
able to spare the men as we have
had a part of the men securing the
crops where they have not been
destroyed by the cattle and other
causes as we think it of great i'm
portance to do so. We are now
better prepared to care for our
cattle the coming winter as the
Government has sent us two COM
panies of Infantry under Capt.
Mccoy and Capt. Bennett who was
hailed with great pleasure by the
company, and by the ladies especi-
ally, who had stood their ground
like heroes through all the alarms,
some, however, trembling. We
hope that one company at least
will remain with us as it will give
security to US, for this is now the
important place in Sank Valley as
there is no people above us until
we come to Fort Abercrombie and
if we were driven away from here
the whole Sank Valley would be
deserted to St. Joseph and probably
to st. Cloud as the valley was
almost forsaken at one time.
When they found out that we were
holding our ground here it
inspired them with courage again
and they returned to their homes
again many of them securing their
crops and fortifying themselves as
they have done at Richmond, st.
Joe and New Munich.

the Indians had left, and it has
developed within few days that
my suspicious were well founded,
for farming tools and furniture
have been identified.
although we have not been
attacked at Sank Centre, there is
no doubt that the place has been
scanned from the tops Of high
bluffs that overlook the place, but
it seems that the preparations that
have been made, seeing so many
people and the Stars and Stripes
flying and not being in sufficient
numbers to ensure success have
been abandoned.
81 would have sent out scouts
much farther than they went but
could not send them out in suffici-
ent numbers to ensure safety and
the safety of the post.
Editors Note. TO this is
appended what appears to be a
personal note of the writer:)
"When I arrived at Sank Centre
finding that the people were making
stand l resolved to take my fate
with them, consequently 1 joined
the company then forming under
Captain S. Ramsdel, but a panick
took place the day after from fear
in few individuals and vote was
taken, those who wished to take
Their families below to do so.
The majority being in that mind
started for st. Cloud and others
still further, and as soon as they
got places for their families
returned. The company then re-
organized under Captain S. Rams
dell, and have now between fifty
and sixty men enrolled who have
taken the oath determined to stand

Hon. George w. Thacker's
Stockade Experience

The Hon. George w. Thacker,
former member of the legislature
and State Senator, then residing in
Glenwood, Mimi, and who was
stationed in the cold stockade" for
a time, wrote as follows, in 1915:
"Fifty-one years have come and
gone since Company *, End Min
nesota Cavalry rendezvoused in
that somewhat noted pallisade and
the experience seems more like a
dream to me than a reality.
"Yet I recall, at the time of
which I write, Sank Centre was
represented by a small dot on the
map of Minnesota and apart from
the soldiers, it could not have con-
tanned more than between so and
100 inhabitants, and the scouting
parties sent out by our command
found no settlers beyond a mile
or two west of town.
"The stockade, though well con-
structed for one of it's kind, could
not have been very formidable, or
it's dimensions very great, for our
company of hundred men crowd
ed every nook and corner, except
the one occupied by Capser's
emporium" round which we
resolved to rally in case of attack.
"We did not speculate upon
what might have been our fate if
the Indians swooped down upon US
with battery of the Kaiser's 16-
inch guns or even pelted us with a
shower of bombs from the skies.
Providence, seemingly, did not
ordain that your history should be
embellished with the record of
such highly civilized warfare.
81 think it was sometime in
February, 1864, that detachment
of our company was ordered to
Sank Centre, the balance following
later. We occupied the post till
June 1864.
"Lieutenant Barren, Of our COM
pany, was commander of the post
a part of the time we were there; ;
DR.. B. r. Palmer was post Sur
geon; a soldier by the name of
Wood was Hospital Steward; and
Lieutenant John R. Howard was
in charge Of the Commissary
Department.
"The uniform courtesy and kind
ness of the people of Sank Centre
made a lasting impression on our
boys and they often referred to it
in the kindliest manner. To them
the cold stockade" was an oasis
in the great desert of the west"
Home Guards of Stockade Days
The following report OF the
"Home Guards" who built the first
stockade, and probably the second,
although there seems to be some
doubt about that, was evidently
dictated by Captain Ramsdell but
was written by Second Lieut.. Dean
Stabler, and passed into the hands
of Mrs. J. H. Simonton, his daugh-
ter. It is written in the most
beautiful script and is plainly
legible after sc years. 1t is
printed exactly as it was written:
Organized August 25, 1862.
Written by
End. Lieut.. D. Stabler.
Captain s. s. Ramsdell's Report
of the Sank Centre Volunteer
State Militia, under his command,
organized August rs, 1862, in ex-
petition against the Indians who
were then at war against the
Whites, plundering their homes,
their property and numbering the
inhabitants on the frontier of the
state, and was at the time the COM
pany organized, committing depre-
dations against the peacable land
