WILLIAM M. EDGERTON. M. D., is a leading physician and surgeon of Faulkton and has met with most wonderful success in the practice of his chosen profession. He was born in Mantorville, Dodge county, Minnesota, May 27, 1870, and is a worthy representative of a prominent and distinguished family, being a son of Hon. Alonzo J. Edgerton. The Doctor's great-grandfather aided the colonies in their struggle for independence as a soldier of the Revolutionary war, and was taken as a prisoner to Montreal, Canada. The gvandfather, Lorenzo Edgerton, was a farmer and contractor in New York state throughout life.
Alonzo J. Edgerton, the Doctor's father, was reared in Rome, New York, and there prepared for the legal profession. In 1856 he removed to Dodge county, Minnesota, where he engaged in practice until the Civil war broke out. In 1862 he raised a company, and the following two years were spent on the frontier fighting Indians, but the remainder of his service was in the South. He was finally mustered out in 1867 with rank of brigadier-general. He was always a very popular and prominent man, and in 1880 was appointed senator from Minnesota by Governor Pillsbury. After holding that position for one year he was appointed chief justice of Dakota Territory in 1881, and in the spring of the following year he and his family took up their residence in Yankton. In 1886 they removed to Mitchell, where he engaged in the practice of law until appointed United States district judge by President Harrison in 1889, when he located at Sioux Falls. He died in that city, in August, 1896, honored and respected by all who knew him.
Dr. Edgerton is the sixth in order of birth in a family of seven children. He attended school in Yankton, and later the high school of Mitchell, from which he was graduated in 1889. For two years he was a student in the State University at Vermillion, South Dakota, and was graduated from the South Dakota Agricultural College in 1893, with the degree of B. S. In the fall of that year he entered the medical department of the State University of Minnesota, where he was graduated in the spring of 1896, with the degree of M. D. For one year he was engaged in practice at Claremont, Minnesota, but in March 1898, opened an office in Faulkton, and has established himself in a large and paying practice, which is constantly increasing. He is a very progressive physician, and his skill and ability are widely recognized.
In December, 1896, Dr. Edgerton led to the altar Miss Alta Andrews, who was born in Wisconsin and educated at Vermillion, South Dakota. Her father, A. A. Andrews, is a prominent citizen of Faulkton and owns a valuable farm in the northeastern part of the county. The Doctor and his wife have a son, Carl Alonzo, born November 29, 1898.
The Doctor is one of the most popular and influential citizens of Faulkton, and is now serving as mayor of that city and also as county physician. Politically, he is identified with the republican party, and socially, affiliates with the Masonic fraternity, the Knights of Pythias, the Modern Woodmen and the Modern Brotherhood of America. His wife is an active and prominent member of the Congregational church of Faulkton, and both occupy an enviable position in the best social circles of the community.
Son of Hon. Alonzo Jay Edgerton. In December 26, 1896, Dr. Edgerton married Miss Alta Andrews.
