Source: History of North Dakota, by Lewis F. Crawford Ralph Gordon Beede was born in Redfield, South Dakota, on June 03, 1895, to Aaron McGaffet Beede and Rebecca M. (Ridley) Beede. A lawyer and newspaper publisher, Beede was also a politician who served nine sessions in the State Legislature from 1939 to 1943 and 1947 to 1959. He attended the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks into his senior year. He did not graduate, but taught schools at McClusky and Goodrich for four years until he was inducted into the United States Army on March 11, 1918, due to World War I. He was stationed in Hawaii as part of the Hawaiian Infantry until he was discharged in February 1919. After leaving the service, Beede moved to Fort Yates, North Dakota, where he purchased the Sioux County Pioneer. Beede studied law under his father, while also running the newspaper. He was admitted to the bar in July 1924. Soon after, Ralph Gordon Beede began an apprenticeship with F. B. Lambert in Minot until December 1925. Moving to Elgin after his association with Lambert ended, Beede purchased the Elgin News changing its name to Grant County News. He would publish this newspaper, intermittently practicing law and government, in Elgin until 1960, when it was sold to A. J. Sondag. An active Nonpartisan League member, Beede served as State Representative of Sioux County from 1939 to 1944, and from 1951 to 1960. He acted as House Speaker during the 1943 session, in addition to acting as the minority leader in 1941, 1951, and 1955. He was endorsed for the United States Congress in the Republican Primary in 1944 and was a candidate for Attorney General in 1945. At the end of the 1967 North Dakota State Legislature, Beede was honored in joint session for his "outstanding services to his community, state, nation, and especially to the North Dakota Legislative Assembly." In that same year, Beede's health worsened to the point he gave up his law practice. Ralph Gordon Bedded died on december 04, 1969.
