ANTHONY PALLISTER
Anthony Pallister is living retired in the village of Brandon, Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, after thirty-seven years identification with agriculture as an active farmer. He owns extensive property in Waupun and Alto townships, and is still a factor in their growth and development. He was born in England, October 18, 1846, and is a son of George and Ann (Alderson) Pallister, both natives of that country. His father was a farmer and followed this line of occupation successfully during his life. Mr. Pallister's parents died within one week of typhus fever, their deaths occurring in England in 1852.
Anthony Pallister was only five years old when he was left an orphan. He spent two years in England and at the end of that time came to the United States in order to make his home with an uncle who was located in Alto township, Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin. He remained here and attended the district schools of the township and studied for five terms in Brandon. He later was employed for seven winters as teacher in district school No. 8, Metomen township, and in district school No. 7, of Alto township. When he gave up his duties as a teacher he followed farming and in the spring of 1875 rented two hundred and twenty-one acres in Waupun township, where he was successful as a general agriculturist. He saved his money and was able to buy the property eventually and thus established himself independently. He improved his land, fenced it into fields and cultivated it along the most modern and progressive lines. He carried on general farming and stock-raising and one year threshed over twelve hundred bushels of wheat. He retired in 1907 and moved to the village of Brandon, where he is now an active and representative citizen. He still owns his original farm and has also purchased eighty acres in Alto township. His retirement has meant merely a transference of his interests. He is still active an energetic in promoting enterprises which are factors in municipal growth. He is president of the Farmers Elevator Company of Brandon and secretary and treasurer of the Brandon Creamery Company, and also one of trustees of the village.
Mr. Pallister was married on March 9, 1875, to Miss Clara Hillman, a daughter of Francis and Amanda (Ash) Hillman, both natives of New York State. They came to Wisconsin in 1855, locating in Waupun township, Fond du Lac county, where they purchased the farm which Mr. Pallister now owns. They later sold the property to our subject and came to Brandon, where the father engaged in the mercantile business and was also an extensive lumber dealer. He was of English ancestry but was born in Fulton county, New York. He died in Brandon, August 30, 1889, after an active and useful life. His wife was of Dutch descent and was born near Amsterdam, New York. She passed away in Brandon in 1895. Mrs. Pallister was born in Fulton county, New York, July 16, 1847, and remained with her parents until her marriage. She is a devout member of the Springvale Congregational church. She and her husband are the parents of three children: Anna, who was born April 11, 1876, and died on the 4th of May, 1887; and Leon and Leona, twins, born December 30, 1879. Leon is a rural mail carrier in Brandon, Wisconsin, and lives at home. Leona is the wife of Andy J. Smith, an electrical engineer in the employ of the United States Smelting Company of Midvale, Utah.
In his political views Mr. Pallister is a stanch republican and while he is not an office seeker he always does his duty in a public capacity when called upon to do so. He is at present one of the trustees of the village of Brandon. His interest in education led him to accept a portion on the board of education, where he served with ability an (extract ends here - TJS)
