LINDSTROM The rapid development of the northwest offers an excellent field to the real-estate man, and in that line of business Lewis A. Lindstrom is successfully engaged as president of the Lindstrom Investment Company of Yankton. With a recognition and utilization of opportunities that others have passed heedlessly by, he is working his way upward and already occupies an enviable position as an enterprising, progressive and prosperous citizen. He was born in Christiana, Norway, on the 28th of April, 1879. His father, John Lindstrom, came to the United States in the early '80s, settling in Yankton county, South Dakota, where he followed farming and stock-raising. At length, having won substantial success as the result of his business activity along that line, he retired with a comfortable competence and now makes his home in Yankton. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Magdalina Larsen, also survives and death has never broken into the family circle, which includes three sons: Carl M., now living in Nebraska; Lewis A.; and Anton E., who is the secretary of the Western Land Company. Lewis A. Lindstrom was but five years of age when brought by his parents to the new world. His education was acquired in the public schools of Nebraska and Iowa, supplemented by a classical course in Yankton College. When his school days were over he went to the Pacific coast, where he filled the position of private secretary to the Oregon Smelting & Refining Company, a large smelting company, remaining in that connection for three years. Later he went to Nevada as secretary to the manager of a brokerage company in Goldfield, remaining there during the gold excitement at that place. He afterward returned to San Francisco, where he had charge of the office for the American Multigraph Sales Company for two years. In 1911 he returned to Yankton, where he embarked in the real-estate business under the name of the Western Land & Securities Company, of which he became the president and as such he continues to the present day under the name of The Lindstrom investment Company, handling farm properties largely. In this business he has been very successful, winning a large clientage. He has brought in considerable outside capital and has been largely instrumental in exploiting the state's resources in other sections of the country, thus inducing many settlers to come to South Dakota. His work has, indeed, been beneficial and resultant as well as a source of gratifying success to himself. On the 28th of May, 1913, Mr. Lindstrom was united in marriage to Miss Ida May Fishbeck, a daughter of Levi and Hattie (Cole) Fishbeck, of Yankton county. Her parents came from Wisconsin to this state. Her father served as a Union soldier in the Civil war and, being captured, was incarcerated for a time in Libby prison. With the exception of this period he was on continuous duty with a Wisconsin regiment throughout the period of hostilities. Mr. Lindstrom is a member of the Commercial Club and is active in its work, recognizing the possibilities before the organization in the upbuilding of the city. In politics he is a republican, with independent tendencies that manifest themselves in his local ballot. He belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and both he and his wife are connected with the Rebekah lodge, in which Mrs. Lindstrom is most active, having served as president during 1913-14. They belong to the Congregational church and their many good qualities have gained for them a constantly growing circle of friends in Yankton and that part of the state. This biography appears on pages 243-244 in "History of Dakota Territory" by George W. Kingsbury, Vol. IV (1915)
