Roberts County Farm Mutual Insurance Company celebrates 115 years of local business

By Mimi Larsen Staff Writer

Roberts County Farm Mutual Insurance Company is celebrating its 115th year anniversary this year. Though its name and address have changed a few times over the years, the company has remained in business the entire time. If the charter hadn’t been postponed by controversy over the location of the county seat, the company would be celebrating its 123rd anniversary this year.

“What an accomplishment, to still be in business after 115 years,” said Manager Julie Stapleton, “and for the business not to have changed hands, and to still be operating as it was established: an insurance company.” For more on this story please purchase a copy of the Sisseton Courier on news stands now or purchase a copy of the E-edtion.
