She was born December 23, 1829 in Newton, Sussex County, New Jersey18,19,20,21, and died May 05, 1897 in Valentine, Cherry County, Nebraska22,23,24. Notes for HENRY R. H. EMERY: From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, South Dakota, page 159-160. Henry R. H. (1816-1894) immigrated from Woods Ends Farm, Straffordshire, England and settled in New Jersey. Here he met Susan A. (1829-1897) and they were married February 12, 1849. Henry R. H. and Susan Emery moved to Muskegan, Michigan and here 5 more children were born to them, Robert H. being the 7th child. In 1882 the Emery family moved to the Rosebud country, Dakota Territory. Henry R. H. Emery set up headquarters in the southern part of Section 31, named Emery Township. The home was located on the south bank of the south fork of Whetstone Creek, Miyogli Wakpala. This is Indian for Whetstone Creek. The Emery Cemetery was established to the northwest of the section. Northwest of the Emery land was built the Emery school in Emery District. Henry R. H. Emery had built his own American domain; home, cemetery, and school, with his cattle roaming Emery Township. Henry R. H. Emery was born March 22, 1816 on Woods End Farm in Straffordshire, England. He was a young man when he immigrated to the United States in a sail boat, settling in Newton, New Jersey. There he met his wife, Susan, who was born December 23, 1829 in Newton, New Jersey. They were married February 12, 1849 and journeyed to Muskegan, Michigan to make their residence. Five children were born to them there: William, Harriet, George W., James H. and Martha L. The family departed from Michigan in 1859 seeking adventure in the new Dakota Territory. In 1860 they secured a homestead in Bon Homme County. In 1862 they were issued a deed to the property (the homestead is now underwater). Holbert, Robert H., Henrietta, Alice and Henry came to join their five sisters and brothers, increasing the family to ten children. In the 1882, preceding the pioneers to the new frontier, they followed the wagon trails to the Rosebud Country, then the Sioux Indian Reservation. Henry and Susan chose their headquarters in Section 31, Emery Township, which later became Lucas Township: The Emery ranch was situated in the lower southwest portion of the section, beside the south bank of the south fork on the Whetstone Creek, or Miyogli Wakpala in Indian, on the Sully Flats. Diagonally in the very northwest corner of the section lies the Emery Cemetery. Five graves, possibly seven, are to be observed currently in this burial plot: the patriarch himself - Henry R. H. Emery; mother Susan A., wife of Henry; their grandson, Amos A. - January 17, 1895-March 25, 1895, son of William and Addie Emery; Cecil Blanche Durfee, 1870-1898, daughter of Uriah T. and Belle G. Duncan; Maurice A. November 19, 1901-January 6, 1902, son of George and Maggie Pete. The Emery school was established for the children in the very northeast corner of the Emery land, later known as the Frank A. Servine quarter, in the Emery Township. Church was held in the homes by a traveling priest or later the priest from the St. Francis Mission in Todd County. Neighbors to the young adventurous Emerys were the Dimonds, Dions, Reynolds, Sullys and Turgeons, who had also ventured early to this last great frontier. Here they established homes, schools, and cemeteries. They grazed their cattle and horses on the rolling prairies of the Sully Flats, with an abundant water supply in the Whetstone Creek and the Missouri River, they had chosen wisely and well. Henry R. H. Emery had been an ambitious farsighted Englishman. He had set up his headquarters to known as the Emery ranch; a school for his children to be referred to as the Emery School, and the Emery Cemetery in Emery Township. The Emery Domain, from the old country to the new country, was now well established with descendants to carry on. Henry enjoyed his sovereignty for twelve short years. September 11, 1894 he was dead. The head of this family had every right to christen the Emery Cemetery. Three years later his wife, Susan A. died May 5, 1897, to be buried on a gentle slope of a hill facing the setting sun, across the Miyogli Wakpala beside her husband. Their children were not buried in the Emery Cemetery at their deaths. Henry and Susan, unfortunately, never lived to see the opening of Gregory County west. Fairfax, barely two years old, followed shortly by Bonesteel were merely trading posts to the new Gregory County. These were the 1 only towns in existence except for trading posts, the Papin Brothers Trading Post, Whetstone Landing, Porter's Landing, Fort Randall, and Trudeau's Trading Post near Fort Randall. William, Henry's eldest son, assumed the work load of the Emery ranch operation for ten years. However, when Burke was established in 1904 William sold the ranch to William Richtor and moved into the new inland town site. _______________________________________________________________ From "Saga of the Missouri River Reveille," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1981, by Gregory Times- Advocate, Gregory, South Dakota, page 313-314. Henry R. H. Emery was born March 22, 1816 in Woods End Farm, Straffordshire, England and died September 11, 1894 on his ranch north of Burke, South Dakota on the Sully Flats. Susan A. Emery was born December 23, 1829 at Newton, New Jersey and died May 5, 1897 at Valentine, Nebraska. The Emerys came to the Sully Flats on section 31, Lucas Township, Gregory County, Dakota Territory in 1882 from Bon Homme County, Dakota Territory where they had homesteaded in 1860. Henry R. H. Emery set up the Emery domain on the Sully Flats which consisted of the Emery log cabin headquarters and ranch, the Emery School District and schoolhouse, and the Emery Cemetery in Emery Township. (Later the township was renamed Lucas). Henry R. H. Emery 1816-1894 was buried in the Emery Cemetery as were - Mother Susan A. Emery 1829-1897; Cecil Blanche Durfee 1870-1898, wife of Thomas Durfee; and Maurice A. Pete 1901-1902, son of George and Maggie Pete (with markers). Henry R. H. and Susan A.

  • The Western Novels of Virgil D. Boyles and Kate Boyles Bingham
    Copyright © 1993 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Fictionalizing South Dakota from a Feminist Point of View: The Western Novels of Virgil D. Boyles and Kate Boyles Bingham RUTH ANN ALEXANDER South Dakota history lends itself to fiction because of its conflict, drama, and color. It is full of good stories. More than one literary artist—Ole R0ivaag, Frederick Manfred, and Hamlin Garland, to name a few—has used incidents from the state's past to create novels. Like all artists, these authors shaped the material to express their own visions of reality. Often, these imaginative renderings in- tensified the South Dakota experience for readers, conveying it more vividly than factual and prosaic accounts could. Less well known practitioners of the art of fictionalizing South Dakota history are the brother-and-sister writing combination of Kate Boyles Bingham and Virgil D. Boyles. Together, they published five novels no longer in print: Langford of the Three Bars (1907), The Homesteaders (1909), The Spirit Trail (1910), The Hoosier Volunteer (1914), and A Daughter of the Badlands (1922). The Hoosier Volunteer is based upon the Civil War experiences of their father when he lived in Indiana, but the other four books have South Dakota set- tings. Attempting to recreate actual moments in the development of the state, Bingham and Boyles often relied upon specific historical material to form the plot structure of their novels. The books do not purport to be history, however. Kate Boyles Bingham infused them with her ideas and feelings (Virgil Boyles assisted with plot Copyright © 1993 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

  • South Dakota Women Writers and the Emergence of the Pioneer Heroine
    Copyright © 1983 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. South Dakota Women Writers and the Emergence of the Pioneer Heroine RUTH ANN ALEXANDER The white women who settled Dakota Territory in the 1870s and 1880s did not write novels. After the grueling work of making a home out of a dugout, a sod hut, or a tarpaper shanty and of feeding, clothing, and nurturing their families, they had neither time nor energy for such imaginative creation. If they filched a few moments from their labors to write anything, their literary expression took the form of letters, diaries, or journals.' This 1. Laura Bower Van Nuys, for instance, explains that her mother wrote letters in a "telegraphic style" because of the pressures of washing, cooking, and cleaning for her large family, She quotes from one of her mother's letters to her daughter: "I have just put the girls to bed Lulu is quite sick with a cold Nettie has one of her cry- ing spells and Rose is sick with sympathy with her Quinnie has a touch of sore throat and Squiz fell against the boiler and hurt her eyebrow but they will all be well in the morning and able to eat breakfast" (Laura Bower Van Nuys, The Family Band: From the Missouri to the Black Hills, 1881-1890, Pioneer Heritage Series, no. 5 [Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1961|, p. 47). Copyright © 1983 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. 178 Soutk Dakota History source material has only recently been discovered and explored by scholars for the light it sheds on the settlement of the West,' and it is greatly modifying our interpretation of the western ex- perience, an interpretation that has heretofore focused on the ex- ploits of male figures — scouts, trappers, soldiers, traders, miners, cowboys, outlaws, and sodbusters.

  • Native American Cinema: Indigenous Vision, Domestic Space, and Historical Trauma
    Native American Cinema: Indigenous Vision, Domestic Space, and Historical Trauma A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Jason Mayo May 2013 © 2013 Jason Mayo. All Rights Reserved. 2 The thesis titled Native American cinema: Indigenous Vision, Domestic Space, and Historical Trauma by JASON MAYO has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Madeleine Scott Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract MAYO, JASON, M.A., May 2013, Film Studies Native American cinema: Indigenous vision, domestic space, and historical trauma Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis argues that Native American cinema defines Indigenous identity by utilizing three modes of representation that revolve around the vision of American Indian protagonists, the familial space of American Indian homes, and the figuration of historical trauma through Indigenous temporal structures. Whereas Hollywood media presents American Indians through the vision of white protagonists, positions the camera outside of American Indian homes, and shows historical trauma through Western structures of temporality. 4 Dedication To Ofer Eliaz and all my Cherokee relations 5 Acknowledgements For his steadfast encouragement, patience, and assistance, I thank my thesis advisor, Dr. Ofer Eliaz. Without Dr. Ofer Eliaz’s support, this thesis would not have been possible. My deepest gratitude also goes to Professor Louis-Georges Schwartz, Michael Gillespie, and the director of the School of Film at Ohio University, Steve Ross, who took the time to offer their support, advice, and patience throughout my two years as a graduate student at Ohio University.
