FRANK A. PANGBURN was born on December 10th, 1856, in Fayette county, Iowa.
His home with his parents was on a farm, yet he enjoyed an excellent opportunity
for an education, completing a collegiate and commercial course and graduating
from the Upper Iowa University.

After being engaged in teaching school for one year, in 1882 he came to
Spink county, Dakota Territory, and located government land and then went to
LeRoy, Minn., and engaged in teaching for six months.

In 1883, Mr. Pangburn came to Faulk county and took a homestead six miles
west of Faulkton, and for four years, while he was holding down his homestead he
was engaged in the real estate business at Faulkton. On June 21st, 1887, he was
united in marriage to Miss Minnie M. Johnson, from Cedar county, Iowa. To them
have been born six children, viz: Jessie M., Paul W., Frank J., Merrill W., and
a son and daughter who died in infancy. Soon after his marriage Mr. Pangburn
moved on a farm one mile north of Faulkton where he has since resided.

At the first general election in 1884, after the organization of Faulk
county, Mr. Pangburn was elected clerk of court, but the presiding judge
exercised his authority under the territorial organization and appointed a
personal friend from Iowa to fill that position. In 1889 he became
superintendent of the Faulkton public schools, and after teaching for four years
he was elected county superintendent of the schools, which office he
successfully filled for four years. Since that time he has been engaged in
farming and stock raising and in teaching school winters.

While Mr. Pangburn is a loyal and influential member of the republican party
he has never sought preferment, yet he has always been interested in the
advancement of all educational interests.

Socially, Mr. Pangburn is a member of the order of United Workmen and the
Degree of Honor, also a member of the Modern Brotherhood of America and at the
present time is president of the latter organization.
