Walter Lester Angstman was born Sept 19, 1884 in Aberdeen, SD, the first of 13 children of Jacob Henry and Emma Trout Angstman. His father was born at Utica, NY and came with his parents to Minnesota where the family settled on a farm in Dakota County. His mother was born at Empire, Minn. Fter their marriage, they farmed for awhile near Farmington and later at Sauk Centre, where Walter spent his early youth. He received his elementary education there and attended a business school after which he followed the printer's trade for a few years. He had labored before that on farms and held a steam engineer's license as a result of his experience on the steam powered threshing rigs of that day.
His love for the land took him west when the Dakotas were being settled and at one time accompanied a party of ox team on a 135 mile trip southwest from Minot, ND. Finally, he and a couple of neighbor boys from Sauk Centre filed claims on adjoining land in Hardin County, SD. During this period his parents and family had moved to the Princeton, Minn area. Walter returned to that area and married Maude Moores on Nov 22, 1911. Shortly after their marriage the couple went back to western SD where Walter had previously homesteaded land. Home ties soon brought the Angstmans back to Sherburne county where they farmed for 25 years in Big Lake and Baldwin Townships.
Walter passed away on Friday, April 12, 1968 at the Elk River Nursing Home where he had been a resident for the past three months. He had attained the age of 83 years......Funeral services were held Monday, April 15 from Pitt Funeral Chapel in Moticello... Interment was in the Big Lake Cemetery at Big Lake.
