Adolph Huff was born near Costive, Poland in 1881. He left Poland and came to Canada in 1897, where he spent several years before coming to the Melville area in 1900, where his father had gone earlier, to help with the threshing.

He spent the winter with a farmer near Melville and attended the Melville school for two years to learn to read and write English. Later he spent a year in the Carrington schools.

He had homesteaded on land in Stutsman County just across the line from Longview Township. His son Ben lives on this place at the present time.

In 1903 he attended Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska and joined the Adventist faith.

Adolph married Mathilda Pepple of Cathay in 1904. They were the parents of eight children.
