Maurice was born in Mexico the son of a French fur trader who had immigrated to Canada from France. Affiliated with the Hudson Bay Fur Company he may have followed the Mississippi River trapping and trading furs until he reached the Gulf of Mexico. Maurice Landeaux Sr., and early freighter boss in Dakota Territory, operated conestoga freight wagons, drawn by mules, from Rulo west through the Dakotas, Wyoming and Colorado. He was married to Margaret Hart of Rulo and they became the parents of Adelle, Mary, Susan, Margaret, Emily, Armine, Henry and Maurice Jr. The sons also drove in the freight caravans owned by their father. Page 160 Maurice Landeaux (or Langdeaux) was a native of Mexico, son of a French fur trader from Canada. Maurice and Margaret were the parents of 6 beautiful and competent daughters who are referred to as the "Belles of the Rosebud." Two sons, Maurice Jr. and Henry were freighters, driving mules from Rulo to Fort Pierre, S.D. One of the brothers met his death at the feet of his mules. Page 320 Maurice ran a freighting line from Rulo to Fort Pierre, S.D. He was killed as his 8 mule drawn conestaga wagon, part of a train, slipped on sidehill terrain dumping logs on him. His sons, Henry and Maurice, Jr. continued the freighting lines. ______

Notes for RUSSELL KILBURN DURFEE: From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by the Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, SD, pages 151-152.

Russell K. (1836-1917) was born in Missouri and came to Rulo, Nebraska just prior to the Civil War with his

3 parents Edmond J. and Caroline (Clark) Durfee. Edmond was a millwright by trade; he traveled with his brother Jabez and two companions from Iowa to the territory of Nebraska in 1857 to erect a mill for Charles Rulo. He built the first mill on the Muddy Missouri near the site of Rulo, Nebraska. Russell K. Durfee and Mary Landeaux were married in Rulo, Nebraska. Her father, Maurice Landeaux Sr. constructed a brick home for them which was located about one mile from the Missouri River. The brick house still stands in Anago Township, Richardson County, Rulo, Nebraska. Mary was fated never to live in the Rosebud as did her sisters. Their eldest son, Russell Rennen was born to them in 1873, another son Thomas in 1875, and a daughter Ollie in 1876. Mary died in 1876 when her son Thomas M. was one year old. After a time Russell K. Durfee married Abigail Hayward and they became the parents of six children: Olive, Frank, Grace, Edna, Homer and George.

Russell may have had an earlier wife also named Mary.

In 1888, Russell, Jr., only fifteen years of age, trailed to the Rosebud Reservation to work for his Uncle Benjamin Turgeon. Mrs. Armine Turgeon was a sister to his deceased mother, Mary. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Turgeon had built their ranch on the south branch of the Whetstone Creek, the area to be later designated Turgeon Township. Russell chose his claim adjacent to the Turgeon spread, bulding himself a log cabin. Russell returned to Rulo, Nebraska to become the husband of Matilda Dollie Sellars, December 23, 1896 at Fall City, Nebraska, the county seat of Richardson County, twelve to fourteen miles west of Rulo. The young couple returned to Gregory County a year later, making their abode in his log cabin in Section 27, Turgeon Twp. in the Whetstone Valley. Matilda Dollie Sellars was born May 19, 1876 at Stephen Hill, Nebraska to John and Lurena (Green) Sellars. In Dollie's early childhood the family moved to Calloway, Nebraska. She was a young lady when she returned to Rulo, Nebraska, where she was baptized into the Methodist faith. Russell built a new soddy one mile west of the Turgeon ranch for his bride. The old log cabin became the first schoolhouse in the valley prior to 1904. Marie Faust instructed the children as well as foreign speaking settlers in the school. In 1905-06 the new Carroll School was opened in the valley. Russell continued laboring for his uncle, Benjamin Turgeon, for several years, also continuing to improve his own homestead. A cottonwood and oak house of dimension lumber with grooved siding was built. His brother, Thomas, arrived to be employed by Uncle Benjamin Turgeon and George Pete. In 1904 Thomas Durfee took a patent to his claim. Lying between Russell and Thomas's land was the homestead of their uncle, Lewis Durfee. Russell did his banking in Herrick, S. D. January 28, 1913 he withdrew $25 from the Bank of Herrick to pay expenses on his trip to Rulo, Nebraska, to visit his father, Russell R. Durfee, Sr. This would be that last time he was to see his father alive. In 1918 Russell R. Durfee, Sr. was killed in an accident involving his wagon and mules.

4 Russell and Dollie were not blessed with youngsters of their own. They raised four small boys assigned to them from the Christian Home in Council Bluffs, Iowa; Harold Teel, Victor Cross, Fred Mowery, and Lawrence Waite. Warren Sellars a nephew to Dollie was with them a short while. Roy Teel, Harold's brother, was reared by Thomas Durfee. Dollie was responsible for the first Sunday School in Turgeon Twp. She was also a midwife and devoted her life to the care of others in sickness. She was a superb horsewoman, even in her late years she rode her horse to the pasture to check the cattle, round them up or bring in a small calf that needed special attention. Dollie was a legend in the Whetstone Valley. In addition to her teaching, doctoring and ranching she raised her little motherless or fatherless boys with all the care, love and devotion she would have tendered upon her own. They were her boys. She was especially devoted to the fad of millinery. She was a "Hat lady", appearing every spring in new stylish creation. Shortly before her death she had purchased a new bonnet at Werner Wischmann's Ladies and Men's Wear Store, Burke. A very chic black hat with black veiling and a red rose was fitted by the clerk, Mrs. Agnes Hanson. Russell and Dollie's boys grew up and went their separate ways. Harold Teel, their first foster child (1911) remained with Mother and Father Durfee until his marriage in 1925. Victor Cross grew to a big, husky man, enlisting in the Armed Forces of World War I; he was never to enter their lives again. Lawrence Waite lived with them two years before making his departure; Fred Mowery lived with mother and dad until his marriage to Lorene Roggow, in 1937 they moved to Oregon. Warren Sellars, a foster son and a relative, lived with them in their advanced years. He was a willful boy. Dollie and Russell could not manage him; he was not happy with them so he too left. Russell and Dollie homesteaded again in 1941-42, two miles up Pete Creek in Section 18, Turgeon Twp. They purchased the Charles Simons house, moved it to their new location and started ranching. They had sold their ranch in the Whetstone Valley to their son, Harold Teel, to set up on a smaller tract. Matilda Dollie Durfee succumbed to a heart attack, March 26, 1951, eight months later November 26, 1951, Russell R. Durfee joined Dollie. ______

Called Russell Revel Durfee by some sources. His Draft Registration Card lists him as medium height and build, with brown eyes and hair.

Notes for ADELLE "ADDIE" LANGDEAU: From "The Saga of Sully Flats", by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977 by Gregory Times-Advocate Gregory, South Dakota, page 161.

To Adelle, being the sheriff's wife, fell the duty of cooking meals for the prisoners or whomsoever her husband brought to their home to feed. From celebrities to rag-a-muffins, she fed them all, also caring for anyone who came to their home needing assistance. One day she had baked and enormous batch of yeast bread. She mixed and kneaded the bread, allowing the sponge to rise two times before shaping it into loaves in the bread pan. The bread, when risen again, was baked in the oven of a large iron cook stove which required wood or coal to produce heat. The baked product was on the table, cupboards, all over the kitchen so the invited a group of Indians into her home for lunch. They enjoyed the freshly baked bread and ate heartily. When finished they proceeded to fill their lard pails with the remaining loaves of bread. Adelle did not know it was the custom of these Indians to eat to their satisfaction then take the leftover food home with them. Adelle delivered many new babies into this country. Burke did have Dr. George Waterman, but only in very serious cases was his service ever required. It was deemed unseemly by mothers to have a male doctor assist in the delivery of their infants. Adelle continued to live in her home in Burke with her son, Joseph. In 1940 she fell and broke her hip. She was hospitalized in the recently remodelled Burke Hospital, the original courthouse. Dr. R. J. Quinn was the chief surgeon; Joan Flynn Dion was the head nurse. Adelle was patient and uncomplaining, lying in her bed in not so abundantly staffed hospital. Heat in the rooms was inadequate in the winter, but stifling in the summer. Nurses worked long hours doing double shifts for $4.00 per week. But it was Burke's first hospital and we were proud of it. Six months later Dick removed his mother to the Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton, S.D. She had tried to live in her home, but she was unable to manage alone. She remained in the Yankton Hospital for the duration of six years. Adelle Landeaux Emery died December 20, 1946. Adelle Emery was buried in the Graceland Cemetery in Burke. It was a beautiful winter day. Trees and plants were covered with hoary frost, patterns of lace sprinkled with twinkling diamonds. A close relative described her burial thus "Adelle was buried in diamonds and lace that cold, bright winter day." The Emery town property was sold to the new Burke Memorial Hospital and clinic. The buildings and apple orchards are gone, but the cave remains in its same location behind the clinic building. ______

Adelle was baptized at Fort Omaha with her sister Margaret by Father Pierre DeSmet.

State of South Dakota Birth Records has her name listed as Adella Langdeau on daughter Mary's birth record.

The 1860 lists her as Idell. The 1870 Census lists her as Ida. The 1880 Census lists her as Ada. The 1885 Territorial Census lists her as Idelle.

The 1900 Census lists her as Adell, mother of 9 children, 7 still living. Under the Special Inquiries Relating to Indians section she is listed as belonging to the Sioux tribe, father white, mother Sioux.

The 1910 Census lists her as mother of 9 children, 7 still living.

Notes for WILLIAM ZENIL EMERY: From "Standard Atlas of Charles Mix County", published 1906 by George A. Ogle & Co., Page 55.

Wm. Emery had settled on Snake Creek south of the gap in the Bijou Hills in the early seventies or earlier. His name appears as early as 1873 as one of the county officers under the Lamonte organization. His place was near the county line. He remained there until in the eighties and has numerous descendants living in Gregory County. ______

From "The Saga of Sully Flats", By Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977 by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, South Dakota, page 160-161.

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. William J. Emery was born July 3, 1852 in Muskegan, Michigan to Henry R. H. and Susan A. Emery. He was thirty years of age when he journeyed with his parents in 1882 through Dakota Territory into the great Sioux Rosebud Reservation of South Dakota. He was the eldest son from a family of 10 children. William had been married to Adelle Landeaux in Wheeler, S.D. November 14, 1877. Thanksgiving Day William and Adelle, her sister Margaret and Abraham Turgeon were married in a double ceremony by the priest at Wheeler, S.D. William had met Adelle while he was living in Bon Homme County. Father DeSmet had baptized the Landeaux sisters at Fort Omaha, Nebraska. William and Adelle Emery made their home at Wheeler, a pioneer settlement in what is now Charles Mix County. William was engaged in hauling freight by oxen from Yankton west for the government. William and Adelle accompanied his parents to the Emery ranch, north of the present Burke, S.D. where they abided for twenty-seven years. The last ten years of that time William operated the ranch after his father's death. William's hobby was the planting of apple trees. The ranch boasted a beautiful large apple orchard. Probably the urge was born when he heard the tales of Johnny Appleseed, a native of England, who had planted apple seeds throughout England and the United States. As soon as the town site of Burke was established in 1904, William and Adelle disposed of their ranch holdings and moved to the village of Burke. In the southwestern section of Burke they erected a new home, planted a large apple orchard and dug a deep cave. William was hired as Burke's Town Sheriff; this position he held until his death. He constructed Burke's first livery stable service, "Emery and Sons", operated by Sam and Dick Emery. William J. had been a scout in his younger years. With his horse and buggy he drove he drove land

7 seekers to the rural areas to size up their claims. Or if they preferred, they could rent a horse and buggy, driving the conveyance themselves. One of the first pool halls was built by the Emerys and managed by Sam Emery. His son-in-law, Morris Bossingham, married to his daughter Anna, operated Burke's first meat market.

Notes for JOSEPH "JOE" EMERY: From "The Saga of Sully Flats", by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977 by Gregory Times-Advocate Gregory, South Dakota, page 161.

Joseph resided in Burke with his mother in the original Emery home. She suffered a broken hip in 1940. When she was admitted to the Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton, S.D. he traveled to Custer, S.D. to ranch with his brother Dick (Henry). Later he journeyed to Mission, S.D. to make his home with his sister, Adele Boyd. One evening he was walking out the Emery ranch near the Indian boarding school and was struck by a hit and run driver causing his immediate demise. ______

Information from Virginia (Emery) Nelson.

I remember Joe well. He lived with Dick and Lulu (Grandma and Grandpa Emery). He never married. He was mentally challenged, perhaps functioned at the age level of a six or seven year old. I would say he had very few decision making capabilities; he had to be told about every thing to do. He could not read or write. He did enjoy looking at pictures in books and magazines. He was blind in one eye, I think from an accident as a child. I remember being told that he had been castrated as a young man to assure that he would not molest anyone or father any children. While he lived with my grandparents he was Grandpa's workhorse. He would do simple, repetitive chores - clean out the horse stalls, carry water, haul rocks, etc. He slept in the bunkhouse. He did get to eat with the family but then went to his bedroom. His clothes were clean (Grandma saw to that) - bib overalls and a plaid, long sleeved flannel shirt, with a denim overal jacket in the winter.

10 Grandpa Emery screamed at him a lot and called him awful names. So did my dad. I suppose it was very frustrating - he was a grown man with a childs mind. I do think Grandpa loved him and felt a responsibility toward him but just did not know how to deal with him. Pat and I liked Joe a lot. He would play with us. He was a quiet person, maybe even shy but with a pleasant smile all the time. I do not remember Joe ever getting mad or screaming and hollering back when people yelled at him. He just took it and moved on. After Grandpa Emery died, Joe was sent back to the reservation to live - I do not know where. I never saw him again. We heard that he was walking along the highway and was hit and killed by a passing truck. His was a sad, sad story. ______

According to his Draft Registration Card he was medium height and build, with light blue eyes and black hair.

Notes for ABRAHAM CESAIRE TURGEON: From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, South Dakota, page 322-323.

Abraham B. Turgeon Sr. (1847-1890) was born to Casare and Jane (Tracy) Turgeon near Beaumont, Bellechasse County in the province of Quebec, Canada. Beaumont was located on the south side of the St. Lawrence River. Abraham, Sr. the eldest son of Casare and Jane, departed the land of his birth alone for Fort Chicago, Illinois. Here he labored as a blacksmith for about a year. He journeyed through the Northwest Territory into Dakota Territory coming to Fort Randall. He located in the Wheeler area across the river from Fort Randall. He had contracted from the U.S. Government a managership of the freight lines from the Agency of White Swan through Deadwood and on to Fort Laramie, Wyoming. He was responsible for nineteen freight wagons pulled by teams on oxen. Abraham sent word to his brothers in Canada to join him. Louis and Phillip arrived first, followed in 1880 by Ludger, Onesenme, Benjamin and their three sisters, Laida, Oralee and Auror. Louis and Phillip became drivers of the Conestoga freight wagons for Abraham, Sr. Ludger, Onesenme and Benjamin freighted to the gold mines in the Black Hills. A trip, if all went well, required about one month of steady driving in a wagon train. It was necessary to be alert for hostiles, therefore, one driver was a vigilante during the night; each driver took a turn. After their marriage Abraham, Sr. and Margaret (Landeaux) Turgeon made their home near Wheeler, S.D. Abraham, Sr. managed his government freight lines employing his brothers as drivers. They became the parents of four children, Joseph, Alvina, Abraham, Jr. and Susan. Abraham, Sr. died in Wheeler, S.D. in 1890, when his son, Abraham, Jr. was six years old. ______

From "Saga Of The Missouri River Reveille," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1981, by Gregory Times- Advocate, Gregory, South Dakota, page 48.

Abraham Turgeon was manager for the U.S. Freight run which operated from White Swan to Wheeler, and thence to Deadwood, and Fort Laramie, Wyoming. His brothers Ludger, Onesime, Louis, and Phillip were drivers employed by him. First oxen and then mules were used to pull the heavy freight wagons. One or two drivers would command fifteen to twenty-five wagons. Each wagon and team hitched to each team in one long string. A run to Deadwood took three to four months. Page 57 Abraham Turgeon from Canada, with residence on a claim near Wheeler, was employed by the U.S. Government to manage an ox drawn freight run from White Swan, Wheeler, to Fort Pierre and thence to the Black Hills. His brothers, Louis, Ludger, Onesime, and Phillip were his drivers. Freight drivers were the lifeline of these areas and a run took three months. Page 448-449 Abraham was the first of the Turgeon boys to come to Dakota Territory and was hired by the U.S. Government to freight from White Swan to Wheeler and to Deadwood and Fort Laramie, Wyoming. In 1878 he hired his brothers, Onesime, Louis, and Phillip to drive for him the ox drawn freighter wagons. So they came to Dakota Territory from Canada. Abraham Turgeon was born October 25, 1847 in Beaumont, Belle Chasse County, Canada. As the eldest of the boys to venture form the home nest, he arrived at Boston, Massachusetts where he learned the blacksmith trade which he followed for several years in Boston. He came to Dakota Territory in 1865 and located at Fort Sully on the upper Missouri River where he engaged in cutting wood and putting to supply to government post for several years. He managed the U.S. freight run from White Swan, Wheeler to Fort Pierre and to the Black Hills. He summoned his brothers from Canada - Louis, Ludger, Onesime, and Phillip to drive the slow ponderous oxen

15 freight wagons for him. He hauled goods of his own and sold in the Hills on his first freighting adventure. The rate of charge on transportation of goods was $6 per hundred pounds. At night the train was corralled and picketed to guard against hostile Indians. Abraham and his brothers, Louis and Onesime worked together cutting wood to supply Fort Randall. He took three claims on the Missouri River and engaged in livestock raising and agriculture. Abraham Turgeon was married to Margaret Landeaux who was born September 12, 1858 in Rullo, Nebraska to Maurice and Margaret (Hart) Landeaux. Abraham and Margaret Turgeon were the parents of five children: Joseph, Abraham Jr., Alvina (Ducharme), Susan (Ford), and Louis deceased. Abraham Turgeon met his death September 10, 1890 on his ranch as the result of mistakenly taking medicine from the wrong bottle. He was buried at Wheeler. ______

From: "The Saga of Ponca Land," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1979 by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, SD, page 305.

Joseph M. Turgeon, a pioneer's son and the brother of a pioneering family, was born October 24, 1880 near the site of the old town of Wheeler, South Dakota. He was the eldest son of Abraham B. and Margaret (Langdeaux) Turgeon. Abraham Benjamin Turgeon (1847 - 1890) was born to Caesare Turgeon from France and Jane Tracy (Jennie Trechy) from England near Beaumont, Bellechasse County in the province of Quebec, Canada. He was reared at his native home on the St. Lawrence River where he learned the blacksmith trade. When still a youth he crossed the river to Boston, Massachusetts, and thence to Fort Chicago, Illinois where he toiled as a blacksmith for the army. In 1865 he made his way through the Northwest Territory into the Dakotas and arrived at Fort Sully. He cut wood and put up hay to supply the government post. In 1877 he became owner - manager of a U. S. Government oxen - driven freight wagon train of 19 wagons, hauling supplied from the Agency of White Swan, to Fort Pierre, through Deadwood, to Fort Laramie, Wyoming. His rate to haul goods was $6.00 per hundred pounds. The train was corralled and picketed at night to guard against Indians or white pirates. His brothers from Canada, Louis and Phillip, and later Ludger, Onesemine and Benjamin, were hired as his teamsters. Their sisters Laida, Oralee, and Auror came to the United States with their brothers and later married: Laida to a Turgeon, Oralee, a Culet, and Auror a Labracque. Sometime later Abraham, Louis, and Onesemine came on down to Charles Mix County and took a contract to supply Fort Randall with wood. Abraham "took up" three claims near Wheeler where he engaged in farming and extensive livestock production. On Thanksgiving Day, November 14, 1877, Abraham and Margaret Landeaux were united in marriage in a double ceremony with Margaret's sister, Adelle, and her bridegroom, William Emery. Margaret Landeaux was born September 12, 1858 to Maurice and Margaret Hart (1823 - 1928) Landeaux, Sr. of Rulo, Nebraska. Maurice Landeaux had been born in Mexico, the son of a French fur trapper and trader from Canada. Maurice Sr. was a freighter, driving wagon caravans pulled by mules from Rulo, Nebraska on West; he had been killed when his wagon loaded with timber slid on a siding and over - turned with him. Maurice and Margaret Landeaux, Sr. became the parents of six daughters who played a vital part in the building of Gregory County - Adelle Emery, Mary Durfee, Margaret Turgeon, Armine Turgeon, Susan Dion and Emily Gireau. They had two sons, Maurice Jr. who married Amy Fallas of Lower Brule (her father was an early fur trader) and Henry who was killed in a freighting accident involving mules. A daughter, Angeline, died in infancy. After their marriage, Abraham and Margaret Turgeon, Sr. lived in Wheeler, the County Seat of Charles Mix County, Dakota Territory. Old Wheeler, one of the first towns near the Missouri River, was abandoned years ago at the time of the building of the Fort Randall reservoir. The children were small when Abraham and Margaret moved to her allotment in the Rosebud Reservation in the year 1886. They became the parents of Joseph, Alvina, Abraham Jr., Susan, and Louis deceased. Abraham Turgeon Sr. died at Wheeler in September 10, 1890. He was buried in Wheeler but is now interred in the Catholic Cemetery south of Burke. Margaret Turgeon was married to George Pete, October 1892 and two children were born to them: Nettie E. born October 3, 1893 married William J. David (1899 - 1963) from Lucas, South Dakota and they had two daughters, Louise and Catherine. In 1964 she married James M. Biggins. Maurice Augustus was born November 19, 1901 and died January 6, 1906; he is buried in the Emery Cemetery north of Burke, South Dakota. The children of Abraham and Margaret Turgeon were: Alvina Margaret Turgeon, born July 11, 1878 near Old Wheeler, was married in 1902 to Frank Ducharme and they had one adopted daughter Viola. Alvina Ducharme passed away October 29, 1948. (See Ducharme story).

16 The Turgeons came into the country in 1878 and 1879. Abraham, since deceased, and Francis arriving first, soon followed by Onesime, Louis and Phil. As soon as they were well located they engaged in ranching, and have acquired extensive tracts of land. Phil Turgeon, who was so well and favorable known among the pioneers, was drowned some years ago in the Missouri, but Louis and Onesime still reside on their farms. Onesime Turgeon was one of the pioneers in sinking a large artesian well, which he is still using to drive he saw mill, threshing machine and other farm machinery. ______

PROTECTING THE SCHOOL LANDS. Under the act of Feb. 25, 1885, and in accordance with instructions given by Commissioner Sparks, of the general land office, several parties in the counties of Brule and Charles Mix have been notified by Special Agent M. T. James that their enclosure of school and public lands in the counties must be removed. In compliance with the notice, Abraham Turgeon and Edwin Morgan, both of Charles Mix county, representing a company having about 2,000 acres enclosed, came to Mitchell and voluntarily made a statement of the whole matter of such unlawful enclosure themselves, giving all the information needed to embrace in the report of the special agent. The special agent is required to file affidavit with the United States attorney setting forth the facts of such enclosure, whereupon it becomes the duty of the United States attorney to bring the matter before the United States court. In the present instance Mr. Turgeon will go voluntarily and submit the whole matter to Judge Tripp at a general session of the United States court at Yankton. Under the statute, the fences must be taken down, and a fine not exceeding $1,000 and imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, may be imposed. ______

Notes for GEORGE AUGUSTUS PETE: From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by the Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, SD, page 257-258.

George Pete, an early pioneer, wagon train cook, rancher and Burke businessman was born December 2, 1866 in Erie, Michigan to Augustus Pete and Elizabeth (Grodi) Pete. He wandered down to Dakota Territory in the late 1800's taking a homestead in Charles Mix County; later land in the Whetstone valley east of the Russell Durfee spread. He built a log cabin on the first creek bottom, but situated it behind the hill protecting the cabin from the north wind. He was employed by Benjamin Turgeon for a time. Prior to the opening of the Rosebud, he was employed by the government as a guide. His brother Ed, drove the chuck wagon for local roundups in the area. In October, 1892, he was married to Margaret Landeaux Turgeon, widow of Abraham B. Turgeon, mother of four small children. They located on her allotments in the northeastern portion of Herrick Township. Here, in

17 their home, took place the infamous, bloody dance of Chris Colombe fame. Chris had captured his love, Emma Schunk, and ridden away with her after one of the bloodiest brawls in the history of Gregory County. George had been knifed in the abdomen. Margaret had sewed him up and sat upon him, which might well have been the saving of his life. The townsite of Burke had just been established in 1904 when George Pete built a livery barn in Burke. Horses and wagons were the mode of travel and the horses needed a stable with feed and water. It was built on the site occupied by the Scholes building, later to be used as a city ice house. Shortly thereafter, his brother-in- law, William Emery, built a new livery barn, Emery and Sons. He further pulled a harness shop building down from Bonesteel. Stocking it with harness, essential parts, saddles, bridles, etc., he and his step-son Abraham Turgeon Jr. became the managers. In 1917, when automobiles were becoming the "thing", he hired Otto Scholes to erect a cement block garage on the southeast corner of east main. He became the owner of the first automotive garage and acquired the dealership for Maxwell automobiles. November 13, 1919, this energetic little man, George Pete, purchased a lot on the corner south of the new post office building (later the Gehlsen building) then under construction. Here he erected a modern theatre building 25 x 100 feet. The building was constructed especially for show purposes with and elevated floor and a special heating and ventilating system. the building was of fireproof construction with a typical theatrical front. The "Happy Hour" theatre was opened March 6, 1920 and operated by Fred Hoffman. The post office building, situated between the Yeager Funeral and Furniture Building and the theatre, was built October 1919 by Mr. Claude Yeager. George and Margaret Pete were the parents of two children: Nettie married James Biggins, and Maurice A. born November 19, 1901 and died January 6, 1902. He is buried in the Emery Cemetery north of Burke. Margaret Turgeon Pete died January 30, 1926 in Burke, and George Pete passed away July 13, 1947.

Obituary of Susan Langdeau from the Burke Gazette:

Tuesday morning about 7:30 another of Burke's early settlers passed away and as the news spread over the community that Mrs. Oliver Dion, affectionately known as Grandma Dion, had departed from this life it caused a wave of sadness to find its place in everyone's mind. She was a sweet, humble character, so self-sacrificing. Unnoticed by the world, she went about doing good and earnestly portrayed in her life each day her sincere Catholic faith. Burke Co., keenly feels the loss of this pioneer lady. Susan Langdeau, after growing to womanhood was married and the family was first heard of here as residents near the Whetstone where they lived before moving into Burke twenty-nine years ago. This has been her home since that time. Oliver and Susan were the parents of twelve children, three of whom preceded their mother in death, two boys and one girl. The children morning her passing are John and Clement of Burke. William and Mrs. Ella Copps of Rapid City, Paul of Sturgis, Charles of Dupree, Joe of Gregory, Emil of Randolph, Neb., and Mrs. Addie Wagner of Bakersfield, Cal. Besides her children she is survived by thirty-three grand children, two great grand children and two sisters, Mrs. Adella Emery of Burke, and Mrs. Ben Turgeon of Bonesteel. Funeral services will be held Saturday morning at 10:30 in the Sacred Heart Church.

Notes for OLIVER DION: From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, South Dakota, page 146-147.

Oliver Dion, a scout and soldier, was born June 10, 1864 at Beaver Creek, S.D. on the Lone Tree Ranch to John Dion from Quebec, Canada and Sophia Bonveaux from the Rosebud. At the time of his birth the first treaty in the Rosebud was made with the Indians. Oliver, when a small lad, travelled with his father, John Dion, into Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado and Wyoming. He was at Beaver Creek at the time of the Custer massacre and saw the Indians bring in Custer's equipment of saddles, blankets and clothing to the Indian Agency. John Dion ran the first saloon in the little town of Cedar Creek on the Missouri River. He later operated a saloon in Deadwood, S.D. Fights and gun play were an everyday or night occurrence. Murders and robberies

20 were scarcely noticed. Oliver Dion lived in Sioux Falls, S.D. when the city was only a saloon, pool hall, restaurant and post office. To make extra money, he sold box elder seeds at 10 cents a quart. Leaving Sioux Falls for Yankton, he fell in with John Gordon's wagon train, bound for the Black Hills to mine for gold. The only woman in the expedition was Annie Donna Tallent, who followed her husband, Mr. Tallent, and 27 other men of the Gordon party on their illegal journey into the Black Hills in the winter of 1874-75. They sought a fortune in gold. The party trailed up the Niobrara River to elude the U.S. troops. A log fort was set up in the Black Hills which was referred to as Gordon's Stockade. While in camp they were intercepted by two government scouts, John Duck and Indian and Towa a Negro, who were sent out from Fort Randall by Major J. I. McLaughlin. The group was arrested, their supplies were burned and the wagons confiscated. The Gordon Party was forced to walk the entire distance from their fort to Fort Randall, where they were jailed for one month. When the Gordon party's journey ended at their fort, Oliver Dion moved on to the Black Hills to freight supplies from Laramie, Wyoming to Deadwood, S.D. for the miners. It was at Buffalo Gap where a band on Indians stole the horses and mules from his thirty wagon train, leaving only one team. Oliver hauled the thirty wagons - one wagon at a time - with this team to the Halfway House. In the spring on 1880, Oliver went on the range in Nebraska, where he punched cattle for 10 years. He was in Valentine the day the first train came through. The cowboys went wild shouting and shooting their guns. In Wyoming he worked on the Barling Ranch, riding the range and searching for branded cattle. Casper, Wyoming was then only three houses. Herding for the U.S. Government he delivered cattle to the Indian Agencies for meat - namely, Standing Rock, Lower Brule, Crow Creek, Green Wood and Santee Indian Agency. He was herding cattle on the Nebraska range when he almost lost his life. He and his fellow ranger were in gun range of a lone Indian. A bullet whizzed past their ears; they spurred their horses forward, looking back they saw a lone Indian keeping vigil to avenge a relative's death. It was the custom of some Indian tribes that the eldest male avenged a death in the family by killing the first living thing he saw, man or beast. Oliver Dion was married to Susan Landeaux February 10, 1884. Susan was born February 19, 1864 at Rulo, Nebraska, to Maurice Landeaux from Mexico, son of a French fur trader from Canada, and Margaret Hart of Rulo Nebraska. About 1885 they trailed to the Rosebud Territory which was later to be opened up to settlers to be known as Gregory County. Oliver and Susan established residence in a log cabin on the upper Whetstone, 3 miles north of the site that was to become Burke, S.D. Their eldest son, John, was born in their log cabin March 20, 1885. They were to become the parents of six more sons, Paul, Emil, Will, Clem, George, Charles and Joe. Finally Susan was blessed with the birth of two daughters, Addie and Ella. Oliver farmed and ran cattle on his ranch. His children attended the Dion school nearby. Settlers on the way to their claims in the Lucas area, after the opening of Gregory County in 1904, would stop at the Dion ranch to camp and spend the night or just to rest before continuing their journey. A roller rink was built in Burke on east main and was operated by the Dion family. It was the second building south of Matson's Implement. Often times a dance was held there. Later it became Opencensky's Furniture Mart, McHenry's Feed Store and Soper's Hatchery. Currently it is Soper's Antique Shop and living quarters. February 10, 1929 Oliver and Susan had been married 45 years and were the parents of ten children. Oliver was still a scout, spending much of his time showing cattle and hog buyers about the country, in addition to operating his farm and ranch with the aid of his sons. Oliver and Susan Dion retired to Burke in their golden years. Oliver made a striking figure in his military coat and hat, striding very erect up the street of Burke.

Obituary of Oliver Dion from the Burke Gazette:

The community was deeply grieved Saturday evening to learn of the death of Oliver Dion who had been confined to his home for some time with a serious illness. Mr. Dion was one of the few real old-timers left in this section of the state. He came here long before the Rosebud was opened to homesteaders and even before that he had freighted with oxen into the Black Hills when

21 the old was still at its best. It was during this time that the final uprisings of the Dakota Indians was in progress and when this country was not yet the scene of happy farm homes but was still being molded into a civilized state. It was Mr. Dion's delight to relate his experiences and hardships during later years since he acted as interpreter between the Indians and the white men and was familiar with the conditions of that time. In the passing of his familiar figure from our midst we have lost another of the frontiersmen who did his part in building a great state and it is with deepest regret that we extend sympathy to his family who are left to mourn the passing of their father and husband. ______

DAKOTA COWBOY AND RANGE RIDER REMEMBERS PIONEER DAY EVENTS OLIVER DION IS STILL ACTIVE ON ROSEBUD PLAINS By Jessie Williams (Special Correspondent of the Journal.) Burke, S. D., Feb. 9.--Oliver Dion has lived his entire life among the Indians, speaks their language, and has acted as a cow puncher for the government, supplying the Indians with meat at different agencies. For more than 40 years, Mr. Dion has lived in the Rosebud country as rancher and cowboy, herding cattle in Gregory county years before there were any towns or railroads. He knows every farm and ranch in this territory. Mr. Dion was born in 1863 on Lone Tree ranch, on the Platt river, at the time of the first Indian treaty. From the time he was a small boy he adventured with his father in Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado and Wyoming. He tells of being at Beaver creek when Indians brought Custer's equipment of saddles, blankets and clothing to the Indian agency. And being in the vicinity at the time of Custer's massacre, he says that more blame was with the whites than with the Indians. The Indians, men, women and children, he say, were camped n the Big Horn valley, as were the soldiers, and each camp had sent ou scouts. When Indian scouts returned to report, the tribe immediately packed to meet an attack. The soldiers were on territory rightfully belonging to the Indians. After the battle the Indians brought the solders' belongings to Beaver creek and offered them for sale. Oliver's father kept the first saloon in the little town on the MIssouri river known as Cedar Creek. He later conducted a saloon in Deadwood. Brawls and shootings were common, and scarcely any notice was taken of murders and robberies. Mr. Dion lived in Sioux Falls when that city consisted of a saloon, poolhall, restaurant and postoffice. He remembers selling box elder tree seeds at 10 cents a quart. From Sioux Falls he went to Yankton, where he fell in with John Gordon's wagon train, bound for the Black Hills to form a settlement. On account of Indian wars in the Hills, white settlers were barred, hence the reason for Gordon's trail up the Niobrara river in Nebraska. It was planned to elude the troops until the Hills were reached, then mke their way over the line. When it arrived at the site now known as Gordon, camp was established, to await a time to go on. While in camp they were intercepted by two government scouts from Fort Randall, John Duck, a full blooded Indian, and Towa, a negro. The party was arrested by soldiers. All supplies were burned, mules and wagons taken, and the party was compelled to walk the long distace to Fort Randall, where it was held in jail for 30 days. Later Mr. Dion went to the Black Hills and freighted supplies from Laramie to Deadwood. Once, while camped at Buffalo Gap, a band of Indians stole the horses and mules from the 30-wagon train, leaving only one team. With this team he hauled one wagon at a time to what was known as the Halfway house. In the spring of 1880 Mr. Dion went on the range in Nebraska and punched cattle for 10 years. He was in Valentine when the first train came through, to the accompaniment of shooting and yelling cowboys. In Wyoming he worked on the Barling Spring ranch, riding the range and looking for branded cattle. Casper then was composed of three houses. Herding for the government, he delivered cattle to the Standing Rock, Lower Brule, Crow Creek, Green Wood and Santee Indian agencies. Mr. Dion tells of one narrow escape he had while herding. He and a companion were riding the range when a bullet sang past their ears, then another and another. They put spurs to their ponies and, looking back, saw a lone Indian keeping vigil to avenge a relative's death. It was a custom among some Indian tribes that when a death occurred in the family the eldest male went out and killed the first living thing that came in his range, man or beast. Mr. and Mrs. Dion have been married for 40 years and have 10 children. Mr. Dion is yet a scout and not only knows every farmer, but also how much stock he owns and what he has for sale. He spends much of his time taking cattle and hog buyers about the country. ______

Under the Special Inquiries Relating to Indians section of the 1900 Census he is listed as belonging to the Sioux tribe, father white, mother Sioux.

22 The 1920 Federal Census of Burke, Gregory County, South Dakota, page 7A lists him as age 55, born in Nebraska, race: Indian, no occupation.

Notes for BENJAMIN FRANKLIN TURGEON: From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by the Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, SD, page 320-322.

Benjamin Turgeon was born December 14, 1867 in Bellechasse County, Province of Quebec, Canada, to Casare and Jane (Tracy) Turgeon. Casare Turgeon was of French descent and Jane Tracy had immigrated to Canada from London, England. They were the parents of six sons: Abraham, Louis, Phillip, Ludger, Onesenme and Benjamin, and three daughters Laida (Turgeon), Oralee Culet and Auror Labracque. Benjamin was an intelligent, able, versatile and self-sufficient man. He had scarcely and eighth grade education but he was far ahead of his time. He became a rancher and a leader in the Whetstone Valley later to be named Turgeon Twp. He served as Gregory County Commissioner for four years. Benjamin Turgeon journeyed to Dakota Territory from Canada about 1880, to the trading post of Wheeler in Charles Mix County. Benjamin, the youngest of the family, accompanied his brothers Ludger and Onesenme who joined their older brothers Abraham, Louis and Phillip. Abraham was the manager of the U. S. Government freight lines which ran from the Agency of White Swan, near Yankton, to Fort Laramie, Wyoming. Ludger, Phillip and Benjamin freighted from Yankton, Wheeler, to Deadwood for the gold miners in the Black Hills, when this area was Dakota Territory and an Indian Reservation. Their large heavy Conestaga wagon trains were pulled by slow, ponderous but hardy oxen. Benjamin Turgeon met pretty young Armine at Rulo, Nebraska and they were wed in 1885. Armine was only fifteen years of age, the youngest of the Landeaux family and Benjamin, eighteen years old, was the youngest of the Turgeon family. In 1887 Benjamin and Armine Turgeon moved to her allotment on the Whetstone, the S 1/2 of Section 25, later named Turgeon Twp. Their children, Francis and Louise were given their allotments in 1890-1894. Agnes, born in 1887, died of typhoid fever eleven years later. Julia was born in 1896. By the year 1909, Benjamin had purchased the N 1/2 of Section 35, also land in Sections 23, 24, 25, and 26 from discouraged homesteaders who sold our and left the country. Benjamin and Armine's first home was a log cabin on the east bank of the Whetstone Creek, east of the present home. Francis and Louise were born in this log cabin. When the new home was erected, the log cabin became a bunk house. The Whetstone Creek, on the western side of the cabin, ran north, wound to the west and turned south before straightening its course west. It was in this flat nest that Benjamin built his home and farm

26 buildings. Zachary Trahan from Canada, brother of Artemese Rang Desjarlais, lived with them, as well as other senior men who helped Benjamin with his many projects. They were furnished room and board, clothing and Horse Shoe Tobacco. Benjamin with the help of these hired hands, built his barns and corrals. The barn was a huge two story building poured with a cement floor one foot in depth with a ladder to ascend the hay mow. With a capacity of 90 to 100 cows it took the men all day to feed the cattle in the winter. They pulled the hay to the barn in bobsleds. Employing his own sawmill, cottonwood logs were sawed into planks for feed bunks, mangers, stalls and corral fences and gates. A cattle shoot and weight scale was built northeast of the barn. A sling carried the load of hay into the mow. Four saddles were hung on the walls. A workshop and bunkhouse was staged in the hay mow after the barn's completion. Benjamin owned and raised over 1,000 head of cattle and many horses that grazed on the lush grass of the fenceless Whetstone hills and Sully Flats. Cowboys, and later Francis and Louise, herded the stock and special care was exercised during calving time. In the fall the cowboys gathered the cattle from the prairies and river hills for a big round-up at the Turgeon ranch. Noah Williams, Frank Bishop, James and Henry Emery, Russell and Thomas Durfee, Jack Sully, the Hams, George Pete and many other ranchers drove their herds to the Turgeon corrals to be branded, earmarked, castrated and sorted. The ear marks cut out of the ears of the calves were put in individual piles for each rancher to count later. Louise kept the fire hot for the branding irons. Round-up time lasted many days until all was done and the herds moved out again to the ranges. Ed Pete drove the chuck wagon and Louise and her mother baked many large loaves of bread for the hungry cow punchers. The family had been living in the log cabin, but in 1905-06 a new, big three-story house was erected west of the log cabin and south of the corrals. The house was built of large dimension cottonwood lumber, logs cut and sawed in the sawmill by Benjamin and his men. It was built upon a five foot mortar and rock foundation. The exterior was then sheeted with brick embossed tin, and the windows were shuttered. The third story bedroom was for visiting children. The main floor had two bedrooms, a clothes closet, a large hallway, parlor and dining room. A piano and a "Regina" music box graced the parlor. Louise and Julia occupied one bedroom. The larger bedroom was for company, but was also used for Mass and Communion by the priest of St. Francis Mission, accommodating the Catholics of the valley. The basement, the main living quarters, consisted of two bedrooms, dining and living area, and kitchen. Ben and Armine slept in one bedroom, Francis and hired man slept in the other room. An open stairway in the middle of the room led to the first floor; under the stairs was a large oak closet. A nine foot cedar post stanchion equipped with jack rested on the basement floor, convenient to shift the weight of the house occasionally. A cement bathroom under the porch was supplied with running water. A heavy oak door in the rear opened into the basement. A Delco plant provided electricity to the house for lights and water. The children kept the wood box filled for the cookstove and wood or coal heaters. During the very cold nights the hired man kept all the stoves burning. Oak trees from the creek were cut and sawed into board lengths, planed, sanded and fitted for the door, windows, mp board trim and floors by Benjamin. The house was finished on a Sunday, whereupon a carpenter bee was held. It was much enlivened by a keg of beer bought to help celebrate the completion of the house. It was a great house and the family loved their home. The yard was landscaped with cedars dug from the Whetstone; today reach heights of 100 and 150 feet. Louise dug and planted with a butcher knife a small cedar seedling between the house and the outhouse - it required years to attain 25 feet. The tree still waves in the breeze, but the outhouse long ago was replaced by modern plumbing. A huge garden was planted in the valley east of the new house. It was cultivated by a horse-drawn cultivator by some hoeing was required. Apple, cherry and plum seedlings were planted southeast of the log cabin, protected by the native trees of the Whetstone. Benjamin owned the first Avery tractor, 1913 model which pulled a five bottom plow, to which was attached a two-section drag to break the prairie sod. A well drilling outfit was purchased to dig an artesian well in the barnyard lot. It flowed into an oval cement tank surrounded by a cement platform. A water wheel to operate the Delco plant was located in the Whetstone Creek below the artesian overflow. This did not generate sufficient power so a shed was built to house the Delco plant, two water wheel and supply tank. Artesian water was piped to the house for bathing, but a cistern of rainwater near the house was used for drinking, cooking and laundry. The soft water was piped to the kitchen sink hand pump. Benjamin dug 10 - 15 artesian wells in the area, also digging a well for the St. Francis Church and school at Mission, S.D. Benjamin owned and raced blooded horses. One favorite, "Whiskey Pete", won many silver cups and silver toothpicks as well as crystal ware, centerpieces and condiment sets. One crystal wine glass dated "Whetstone July 24, 1899" was won by Whiskey Pete. Whiskey Pete was a long-legged bay with a white star marking his forehead. He raced in Butte and Omaha, Nebraska and Sioux City, Iowa. Pacer horses were sold to the Omaha Stockyards as "cutting out" horses. These fine horses were pictured on calendars and mailed to cattle buyers and

27 producers. Benjamin invented and patented a spring tire. The tires rode easy in the hills but the springs would not stay intact. He was also a mechanic and became adept at hot iron welding, new to this area. Employing hot iron welding he invented the first cattle guards or "auto gates" which eliminated the use of gates to enter the ranch. The gate was designed with poles and old artesian rods. A small gate to the side accommodated the riding horses. He fashioned horseshoes in his shop and shod horses for the neighbors. It their watch or clock was not keeping time, he could repair, oil and clean the timepieces. Roads to the ranch in the winters were maintained by the Turgeons. Using horses and a scoop they cleared the roads to accommodate all vehicles, including his new Franklin auto. He was also a Franklin auto dealer for interested buyers in the area. A super salesman convinced Benjamin to buy shares in an oil venture in Wichita Falls, Texas. Benjamin became wealthy when "black gold" shot skyward from his wells. He traveled to Texas several times a year to check his investments. On a return trip from Texas, the family stopped at Omaha. Louise purchased a $25 pair of tan, 18-button hightop shoes from the Brandeis Store. The clerks stared in amazement when she paid the shoe clerk with a $100 bill given to her by her father, but of course the change was returned to him. Friends, relatives or neighbors often fished or seined on the big lake-pond near the farm buildings. Uncle William Emery loved to spiel tall tales to the children especially about the large amount of money he had salted away in a barrel, these tales delighted the children. Benjamin and Armine had labored long and diligently, the time was near to retire. In 1918 he sold the ranch and 1/2 interest in the cattle to Fred Harris, Benjamin's former hired hand.

Notes for THOMAS MAURICE DURFEE: From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, South Dakota, page 154.

Thomas was fourteen years old when he accompanied his uncle Maurice Landeaux, Jr. on a freighting trip to Fort Pierre, then an Indian Reservation. Maurice, Jr. used spans of mules to pull his conestaga wagons. Grandmother Landeaux made her grandsons promise never to raise mules as her brother had been killed in an accident with his wagon and mules. However, in spite of his promise to his grandmother, Thomas did raise mules on his homestead in Gregory County. Margaret Landeaux came to Burke to be near her daughters where she died June 2, 1928, at 105 years of age. Thomas Durfee was married to Cecil Blanche Duncan in Rulo, Nebraska. They jouneyed to Turgeon Twp. in 1896. A log cabin was their home and he worked for his uncles, Benjamin Turgeon and George Pete. Two years later Cecile died. She was the daughter of Uriah and Belle G. Duncan and was born in 1879. She was nineteen years of age when she passed away and was buried in the Emery Cemetery on the Emery ranch north of Burke. Thomas M. Durfee and Maude Ross were married in Herrick, S. D. at the pastor's home one November 16, 1909. Rev. William A. Davies, Minister of the Gospel, performed the marriage rites with Russell R. and Dollie Durfee as witnesses. The certificate of marriage was notarized by W. S. Slaughter and recorded November 23, 1909 by the Clerk of Courts, M. L. Parish, at the county seat, Fairfax, S. D. Maude Ross was born July 11, 1890 in LeMars, Iowa to William and Arbell (Newkirk) Ross. Wm. Ross was of Irish-Scot origin and Arbell was born in Pennsylvania of Dutch ancestry. William and Arbell Ross migrated to Old Gregory County when Maude was nine years old, accompanied by his parents Chris and Sarah Ross. They traveled via the emigrant train. Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul railway to Armour, S. D. - that being the terminal of the spur line. Continuing with their loaded wagons and teams to Wheeler, S. D., they crossed the ferry at the Old Wheeler Crossing and rolled on to Bonesteel, S. D. Chris Ross and his son, William, claimed homesteads north of Bonesteel. Thomas and Maude settled in their log cabin on their ranch on the Pete Creek. Twelve children were born to them there. Besides raising their brood, they cared for two foster children, Roy Teel and Jessie McGee. Thomas and Maude had only two children when they claimed a foster child, Roy Teel from the Christian Home at Council Bluffs, Iowa. Thomas's brother Russell had taken Harold Teel as his foster son. Their father Chris Teal had placed four boys in the home after his wife's death. The Durfee homes were fairly close. Thus the brothers were not actually separated. Thomas and Maude's children were delivered by their sister-in-law, Dollie Durfee. The family had rented the former Lundly place in 1925-26. Sunday School pamphlets were found in the attic. Sunday School had been held here for the homesteaders children when Lundlys occupied the premises. Dances were held in their home for friends of the neighborhood. Other neighbors hosted dances as well in their homes. Ewald Roggow, Lou Stone and Frank and Eva Ducharme were the musicians of the early days. In later years the older children of the Harold Teel family played for dances.

29 Maude Durfee and her sister-in-law, Dollie Durfee helped at the funeral services of Mrs. Rasmus Brevik. Mrs. Brevik was buried in the Petersen Cemetery northwest of the Whetstone Valley, on the top of the Sully Flats. Thomas Durfee had purchased some holdings in southwest Turgeon Twp. from discouraged settlers who had departed the Whetstone Valley. He lost these holdings to the Smikjel-Gunvordahl ranch and rented the O. J. Lundly homestead for his home. In 1939 Thomas and Maude retired to Fairfax, S. D. They later made their home in Highmore, S. D. Thomas M. Durfee died November 30, 1946 in Highmore, S. D. Maude Ross Durfee passed away December 14, 1949 in Gregory County. Thomas M. and Maude Durfee were the parents of 13 children: Ralph, Emmett, Susie (Livingston), Clarence, John, Mark, Alvin, Maurice, Omer, Grace (Spoonmore), Lorella (Phillips), Margaret (Huck), and Ray (deceased infant), and two foster children, Roy Teel and Jessie McGee.

Notes for WILLIAM EMERY "BILL" PURVIANCE: From: "The Missoulian," Sunday, 9 April 1995.

William E. Purviance MISSOULA - Strengthened by the love of his wife and friends and by the compassion of his health car providers, Bill Purviance completed his life journey on Friday evening, April 7. Fittingly, bill died at home. Born Nov. 23, 1907 in South Dakota, Bill was satisfied that he had a long and happy life. As a young man, he worked various jobs, learning a myriad of craft skills. He was a carpenter, mechanic, farmer, electrician and inventor. After moving to Missoula, he became owner and operator of a full-service gas station. What gave him the most joy was his marriage to Lurene Bailey in 1934. For 61 years, the couple shared life and love which has served as an inspiration to many. There are a few things that Bill did not do, either as a hobbyist, an outdoorsman, a business person and an avid gardener. As recently as a month ago, he continued to enjoy golf and bowling. His partners will miss his great sense of humor. He was a member of the Missoula Hellgate Elks Lodge, and belonged to BPOE for 58 years. He was a bowler with the Swingin' Seniors Bowling Association, and played golf at the University Golf Course. Bill was a faithful and faith-filled member of the Spirit of Peace community. Besides his wife, Lurene, Bill is survived by a brother- and sister-in-law, George and Peggy Bailey, Bloomfield, Colo.; a sister-in-law, Eunice Bailey, Woodburn, Ore.; and a great many friends. Memorial services will be 1 p.m. Tuesday at Sunset Memorial Funeral Home in Missoula. ______

William was listed twice in the 1920 Census, once with his parents and once with his grandmother.

William and Lurene had no children.

Notes for SAMUEL "SAM" JUSTUS EMERY: From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by Gregory Times-Advocate, page 74- 75.

Those men who helped make Gregory County the fine and rich land it is were honest, hard-working men who gave a dollar in labor for each dollar earned. Their work day was from sunup to sundown, not eight hours a day or forty hours a week as today. Their pay was about thirty dollars per month, or more if they could qualify for the job. As to what a cowboy was made of; it was a Stetson hat, bibless trousers, and high heeled boots. A vest to carry his Bull Durham, cigarette papers, and matches was a must. When and old time cowboy was asked what Bull Durham was made of, he replied, "Just what the name implies - bull ____ and a little tobacco." It made good smoking so they all carried a good supply. Some or the cowboys wore chaps for protection while riding. Spurs were used by most cowboys, not to abuse the horse, but to help control it when roping or cutting cattle. A good saddle and ropes were required for ranch work. No quarter horses were raised in the early days of 1890 or 1900, but the horses were well trained. A good horse and a good rider were a fine pair when working together. Some early cowboys were: John and Bill Dion; Sam, Dick, and Joe Emery; John, George, Frank and Claude Sully; Frank Dimond, Ole Dahl; Ore Unglaub, Joe Reynolds, Matt and Joe Crilly. Frank Kenzie was an outstanding cowboy and should have had his name in the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Most of these have passed on, with a great many more not mentioned here.

33 Page 148 The Gregory Buttes or "Little Pikes Peak" was a lookout used by the Indians to spot Indian war parties, buffalo herds, wagon trains or a lone horseman of the white race moving into or through their hunting grounds. The buttes were landmarks for the white man's wagon and team to point their way into Gregory County. The early ranchers located their cattle and horse herds from the Buttes for the roundups held in Dixon and at the Ben Turgeon ranch in what was later Turgeon Twp. in the Whetstone Valley. In many of these roundups were cattle numbering in the 32,000's gathered together. Cows, bulls, heifers, steers and calves were picked out by their respective owners. They were roped and thrown by cowboys on their horses to be branded, de horned and earmarked. One trail boss was Ole Severson, and a few of the riders were Sam Emery, Joe Turgeon, George Pete, John Ham and Carl Nelson. ______

Notes for FRANK WALTER DUCHARME: From: ""The Epic of Papineau's Domain," by Adeline S. Gnirk, at the request of the Geddes Historical Restoration Society and Lake Andes. Published 1986 by the Plains Printing Company, Gregory, South Dakota, page 25.

Cuthbert and Theresa DuCharme and her two small sons, Patrick and Baptiste, settled in their new home near Papineau Springs, slightly northeast of Papineau's Trading Post and Store, and County Seat office. Their first child, Louise was born to them November 21, 1863, followed in their time by John, Frank, Charles, Harriet and Margaret. Cuthbert employed a Negro mammy, Eliza, to assist Theresa with the housework and children. When their children were older and some married, Theresa and Mammy Elisa raised her grandson, Walter George Cummings. His mother, Margaret DuCharme Cummings died in 1891 when she was 24 years old. It was said that the Negro mammy milked the cow they kept, anytime that Walter was hungry, and fed him warm milk. Eliza, the Negro mammy died in 1888; she was 56 years old. In 1873 Colin LaMonte set up a school for non-reservation children on Papineau Flats which was called the Papineau Schoolhouse. The Catholic children attended, also the St. Anne Mission on Campbell Creek the two years that it was open. Cuthbert, with the help of his sons, farmed and raised cattle as well as operating the trading post, store and tavern. In 1855 Cuthbert sold his trading post to the Exons. His land became public domain when Wheeler was made the county seat. His land, which ranged up toward Geddes became the farms of many individuals. The Ducharme Regime in Papineau's domain came to an end. Mr. and Mrs. Cuthbert Ducharme and family departed Papinaville in 1885 and moved to a site on Ponca Creek in Gregory County which was known as the Naper Trading Post near Milk's Camp. The family settled in a

51 log cabin combination living quarters and store. Their son, Frank Walter, worked in the store for his parents until he went on his own, married, and opened a saloon and pool hall in Burke, South Dakota in 1904. Theresa LaCompte (Dubray-McKenzie) Ducharme died of diabetes and dropsy in 1900 when she was 57 years old. At her death she weighed over 300 pounds. A casket was made especially to fit her body and was hauled to the cemetery in a bobsled. Since there was no snow, it required several teams of horses to pull the casket to Theresa Ducharme's last resting place. Cuthbert Ducharme's hard frontier life, and insane temper coupled with his heavy consumption of whiskey, caused him a mental and physical breakdown. He was admitted to the Yankton Mental Hospital at Yankton, South Dakota on June 11, 1894 and lived there periodically until his death, January 12, 1903. He was 76 years old. His brother, Charles Ducharme, had founded the notorious "Primrose" or "Harney" on the Missouri River, by or across the river from Fort Whetstone and Agency. Cuthbert and Theresa Ducharme were the parents of six children: Louise born November 21, 1863, married George M. Cummings and they had four children; Walter, Henry, Agnes and Eleanor. John did not marry. Frank Walter (1870-1935) married Alvina Turgeon and they adopted a daughter, Viola. Alvina Turgeon was the daughter of Abraham and Margaret (Landeaux) Turgeon Sr. Abraham Turgeon and Maurice Langdeau (Landeaux) are buried in the Ducharme Cemetery (Papineau). Viola Ducharme married Reuben Horst of Herrick, South Dakota and they had eight children: Donna, Paul Nettie, Larry, Darrel, Carlene, Michael and David. Charles married Mary Louise Landreau and they had three children: Martin, Cora and Charles. Harriet, born April 7, 1869, died when she was 26 years old, 1907, in Wheeler, South Dakota. She was married to James Matthew Biggins Sr. and they had four children: Arthur, James M. Jr., Bertha (Birdie Penne) and Katherine (Magill). Margaret (1867-1891) known as Maggie was 24 years old when she died. She married Overset and they had one daughter, Catherine. Her second marriage was to Patrick Cummings and they had two children: Walter George and Carrie (deceased at birth). Walter George was raised by his grandparents, Cuthbert and Theresa Ducharme. ______

In the 1900 Census he was living with the Oliver Dion family as an employee. He is listed as 1/2 Sioux.

Notes for JOSEPH MAURICE "JOE" TURGEON: From: "The Saga of Ponca Land," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1979 by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, SD, page 305.

Joseph Turgeon, the eldest son, was six years old when he moved with his family to Margaret's allotment on the Rosebud Reservation which later became Herrick Township in Gregory County (now Union). The only

52 community in the area was Milk Camp. Joseph was ten years of age when he was saddened by the demise of his father, Abraham. Two years later his mother was married to George A. Pete, who cared for her children as his own and he fathered another brother and sister. Joseph was sent to an Indian Mission School at St. Francis, Todd County, South Dakota where he attended school for several years. In 1899 he was married to Josephine Bement. Josephine was born July 1, 1880 in Waubun, Minnesota to Thomas and Mary Ann (Myrand) Bement. Thomas Bement (1849) from Syracuse, New York of Scotch-Irish parents was married to Mary Ann Myrand (1854 - 1942) of Belle Prairie, Minnesota; her father was an early fur trader from Canada. In 1904 Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bement founded Waubun, Minnesota of which he became Mayor and built their home these before the railroad came through. They erected the first hotel, "The Bement", which he operated until his death in 1922; all in-coming mail for the first two years was addressed to Bement's Post Office until the official name of "Waubun" was given. They became the parents of 12 children. Joseph and Josephine Turgeon established their home on his allotment east of Burke, SW ¼ of section 10, Herrick Township, where he had constructed the first frame house on the flats in that locale. One very cold, spring night one of the children became desperately sick. Joseph rode horseback to the Missouri River where he located a man and his boat. Entering the boat himself, Joseph led his horse into the water. The beast thrust his breast against the stern of the boat and while swimming, pushed the boat to the east shore. Joseph rode his horse to Geddes, described his child's symptoms to the doctor, was given a medication, and in haste returned the same way he had come - the horse pushing the boat to the west shore. Joseph mounted his faithful friend and rode back to his ranch near Herrick, South Dakota. The child recovered. Joseph's eldest son, Clayton, only 15 years of age, was very adept at handling his team of horses; he was a superb horseman all his life. Joseph Turgeon farmed, raised livestock and ranched until his death August 22, 1935. Josephine Bement Turgeon lived in Gardena, California at the time of her death June 10, 1970; she had been widowed 35 years. Joseph and Josephine Turgeon became the parents of nine children - Isabel, Clayton, Margaret, Mae, Ellsworth, Joseph Jr., Frances, Mildred, and Walter. Isabel married Arthur Urevig, five children - Mary Frances, Carmen, Josephine, Arthur and Marjorie. Clayton (deceased 1975) married Marie Schultz, four children - Ellsworth, Margaret, Geraldine and Patricia; Margaret; Mildred married Chester Ayres, two children - Gwendolyn and Donald Ayres. She married Thomas Hardy and they have one daughter, Anita Hardy; Mae married Wallace Kratz, two daughters - Rita and Jo Ellen; Ellsworth, March 7, 1909 - January 11, 1920 Scarlet Fever; Joseph married Marie Willoughby (deceased 1961)m six children - Wm. Joseph, Robert, Thomas, Arthur, Sharon and Linda; Frances married Laurence Baechler, no children; and Walter married Mary Ann Collins, no children. ______

PIONEER FARMER CALLED THURSDAY

Joe M. Turgeon, 54, a resident of Gregory County since 1886 was suddenly stricken last Thursday morning while working in the field at his farm five miles southeast of Burke and passed away the victim of a heart attack at 8:30 a. m. This sad revelation brought many words of grief from the people of Gregory county when they realized that one of the county's pioneers of the earliest days had so suddenly been called to his heavenly reward. Mr. Turgeon was born October 24, 1880 at the site of the old town of Wheeler, one of the first towns of South Dakota on the Missouri River but abandoned as years passed. After six years moved with his parents to Gregory county where he grew to manhood and in 1899 was married to Miss Josephine Bement. At this time he established his home on his farm southeast of Burke where the family has remained throughout the passing of 36 years. Mr. Turgeon established a fine home for his family here and as his children grew into maturity each sought their place in life successfully with a background of fine character instilled in them through their pleasant home life. He leaves to mourn his sudden death, his wife; five daughters, Mrs. Isabel Urevig; Mrs. May Kratz, Mrs. Margaret Kirwan, Mildred and Frances Turgeon; three sons, Clayton, Joseph, and Walter; three sisters, Mrs. Alvina Ducharme, Mrs. Susan Ford of Canada and Mrs. Nettie David of Omaha; one brother, A. B. Turgeon of Valentine and 10 grand children besides a large host of friends. Requiem High Mass was held Monday morning at 10 o'clock in the St. John's church at Herrick, the Rev. P. J. Kinney, Celebrant; Rev. R. J. Dube, Deacon; and the Rev. W. J. Connaughton, sub-Deacon, Pallbearers were A. W. Gilkerson; William Leslie, Louis Simons, E. Rust; P. J. Donohue and Leo McCarville. This paper joins with the many friends of the family in extending sympathy in their deep bereavement. ______

23. ABRAHAM BENJAMIN3 TURGEON (MARGARET "MAGGIE"2 LANGDEAU, MAURICE1)1071,1072,1073 was born February 26, 1884 in near Castalia, Charles Mix County, South Dakota1074,1075,1076,1077,1078,1079,1080,1081,1082, and died February 01, 1943 in Littleburg, Nebraska1083,1084,1085. He married MARIE ELIZABETH DOLEZAL1086,1087,1088,1089,1090 May 24, 1909 in Gregory, Gregory County, South Dakota1091,1092. She was born August 14, 1887 in Bechyn, Renville County, Minnesota1093,1094,1095,1096,1097,1098, and died November 23, 1981 in Burke, Gregory County, South Dakota1099,1100,1101.

Notes for ABRAHAM BENJAMIN TURGEON: From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by the Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, SD, page 323.

Abraham B. Turgeon, Jr. was married by the priest from St. Francis Mission in Todd County, ot Marie Dolezal, June 16, 1909 in the Catholic church two miles south of Burke. Marie Dolezal was born August 14, 1887 in Renville County, Minnesota near Bekyn to John J. and Mary (Kartak) Dolezal. Marie had been attending school in Olivia, Minnesota and did not come out to the farm until 1905. She passed Teachers' Examinations at the Teacher's Institute at Fairfax, S.D. The following spring she was hired by Mr. Wilcox, the owner of a store in Dixon, to teach a six weeks spring session in a log cabin near Dixon, S.D. Indians from Bull Creek Community purchased groceries and other supplies at the store. Here Marie became aware of the sticking qualities of gumbo when the rain fell, as it did during the six weeks of teaching. She and her girl friends attended a dance in Iona. The ribbons they tied in their hair and around their necks became so limp and wrinkled from the rain that the girls had to iron them out by running the ribbons around the warm chimney of a kerosene lamp. The kerosene lamp also heated the curling iron for that extra hair curl. This was obtained by winding the hair around the heated iron and holding it for a few seconds. In 1905-1907, she taught the Bottomstone School until her marriage. The land had been donated to the school by Mr. George W. Bottomstone. Prior to Abraham, Jr. and Marie Dolezal's marriage, Abraham had started a Harness and Saddle Shop in a little building north of Connell and Madole's which was later sold. After his marriage he and William Emery built a Hardware Shop on Main-featured was hardware, stoves, ranges, washtubs, dishware, cooking utensils, and common wares needed in a home. One useful article of those days, a covered pail with a bail, referred to as a chamber commode, was purchased by a customer. However, she purchased the commode to mix and set her bread in; it raised beautifully! In 1917 Abraham, Jr. and George Pete built the first automotive garage in Burke, securing a dealership of the sale of Maxwell cars.

55 In 1915 the Turgeon family had been living on the Turgeon-Pete ranch southeast of Burke, S.D. That year Marie believed was the worst year of her life. She had just given birth to a son, Herbert, February 18, 1915; the baby was not too strong and she was not too well. To compound her worries Abraham, Jr. was ill and confined to his bed, thus leaving her to do the farm chores. The 30 inch snowfall made it difficult to walk about. When the pigs wandered out of the pen, and the colt became caught under the manger, she saddled up her horse and rode to the Joe Turgeon farm. Joe came over each day to assist her in the farm duties until Abraham recovered. April 8, 1915 their baby son died. The family returned to Burke in 1924 where Abraham operated a gas and service station on the west edge of Burke, then the thoroughfare of Highway 18. Abraham and Marie now had a young thriving family of nine children. Marie and Abraham had started their family in 1910. Their ninth child, a son Clair, was born August 9, 1929. In 1939 Abraham and Marie moved their family residence to a ranch north of Valentine, Nebr. near the little village of Littleburg (just over the state line in S.D.). Ranching was just the life for his growing healthy sons. The children attended grade and junior high which was situated some rods east of the store. Baseball games were played Sundays of the local baseball diamond. The small townsite, Littleburg, had been founded in 1934 by Mr. and Mrs. Glen V. Hedelson of Clearfield, Todd County, S.D. Littleburg had been accepted as a postal site and was on the map! Surrounding ranchers and Indian families did business with the store. In 1939 the business and buildings were sold to Abraham Turgeon. They operated this business until his death, February 1, 1943. Marie sold the business and the house was moved to Burke, S.D. where she made her home until 1967. She lives with her daughter Betty Eastlund and family near Lucas, S.D. Betty lays claim to being the only person known to five generations of family members buried in the Catholic Cemetery south of Burke: great- grandmother, Margaret Hart Landeaux (1823-1928); grandmother Margaret Turgeon Pete (1858-1926); her father, Abraham B. Turgeon (1883-1943); her brother, Herbert Turgeon (1915-1915); and her baby daughter, Rita Eastlund (1954). Marie is a very capable seamstress. At one time she did local dressmaking on order. She fashioned the dress Mrs. Adelle Emery was laid away in. The funeral was held on a December day. Everything was covered with a hoar frost, patterns of lace glittered like diamonds. During the ceremony the sun shone bright and clear; Marie remarked, "Adelle was buried in lace." Marie worked at the hospital during the war to assist in the care of patients. However, she was soon promoted to chief cook. To fill her days now, she knits many beautiful articles although her sight is failing. Abraham and Marie Turgeon became the parents of ten children, nine growing to maturity: Robert (1910) married Evelyn Keith, 7 children; Alvina (1911) married Paul Larimer, a son Robert; Ramona (1913) was married to Mr. McKinnie; Rosalie (1916) married Arthur Wilson, children Gary and Pamely; Betty (Elizabeth-1918) married Roger Eastlund, children, infant dec., Mary Ostgren, James and John; George (1920-1964) married Irene Johnson, children Dennis, Janice, Barbara and Deborah; Benedict (1922) married Berniece Herman, children Thomas, Steven and Brent; Donald (1926) married Marjorie Connell, children Jane, Jeffrey, David and Danny; and Clair (1929) married Shirley McKenzie, children Sandra Hubbard, David, Richard, Carol, Nancy, Edward, Douglas and Larry. ______

Notes for JOHN BURNETTE: From: "Mellette County, South Dakota, 1911-1961," published 1961 by Mellette County Centennial Commission, White River, SD, pages 15-16.

John Burnette was the stepson of Adam Smith. At the age of fifteen he drove one of the mule teams. He associated with Mexican help, thereby learning their language. During a flash flood at Deadwood, a store fell into the flood and every kind of article was floating. He roped a tub of butter for himself. He came back to the White River country, and became a cowboy for several large cattle outfits during roundups. A Mr. Slaven, who had a contract with the government to furnish beef for the Indians, hired him until the contract ended. After he married he settled along the Big White River, where he ran cattle. He employed many Indians and wandering white men and boys. Also white girls and Indian women were employed in the Burnette home. Charlotte Giroux, the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Giroux, became the second wife of my father John Burnette and the mother of ten children. Grace Burnette Giroux

From "The Missouri River Reveille," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1981, by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory, South Dakota, page 375.

LUNN: HENRY C. LUNN was born November 11, 1894 to Samuel and Julia (Rundhaug) Lunn from Wisconsin, who were early homesteaders near Bonesteel, South Dakota in the new frontier. During World War I Henry C. Lunn entered the Navy in August of 1915. He served aboard the USS Shaw, USS Jenkins, and USS Patterson. His ship was torpedoed as the sailors were sleeping in their hammocks. The sailor sleeping next to Henry was killed. The torpedo ripped a hole in the ship's hull large enough to drive a load of hay through. The Navy ships often docked in yards in the New York harbor. One day Mrs. Kenaston, (wife of Dr. Kenaston of Bonesteel), was in New York and called Henry to come ashore and attend a concert with her. Henry was pleased and proud to be the escort of such a fine lady from his home town. When Henry returned to Gregory County after his discharge from the Navy in 1919, he bought the Schemmer homestead northeast of St. Charles where he batched and farmed his land. June 28, 1922 Henry C. Lunn and Mary Louise Turgeon were married. Louise was born October 7, 1893 to Benjamin and Armine (Landeaux) Turgeon who were early homesteaders in the Whetstone Valley of Turgeon Township. Henry and Louise Lunn made their first home on Henry's farm. Here three daughters Helen, Marie, and Dorothy were born to them. Sometime after Dorothy's birth in 1929, they moved to the John Pistulka homestead. Henrietta was born in 1933 on the Simon Garringer homestead, the SE 1/4 of section 22, St. Charles Township (currently the Ray Lange farm). Sometime later Henry and Louise purchased the Ahlstrand homestead east of Herrick where they resided until their deaths. Henry was a carpenter and also dug wells. One bitter cold night he slept in the hay loft of the Lloyd Herrmann barn and through the roof he could count the stars. When he was a young lad he pulled an April Fool's joke on his father. He called to his father that horse thieves had driven the Lunn horses away. Samuel immediately got up and was pulling up his suspenders when Henry passing the window called out "April Fool"! Mr. Lunn removed his belt to tan Henry's rear. Julia Lunn was entertaining the Ladies Aide and had baked a generous supply of cookies which she stored in the cave. The children seized a goodly number of the delicious dainties and proceeded to the grove. Lying on the ground, they strung the cookies on a low leaf-tree branch and munched happily away. Their enjoyment was short lived when Julia came for her lunch and found no cookies. She was quite upset. Henry often times mentioned the terrifying fright of the homesteaders when the Indians, on their way to the hills to fight Custer, watered at Huston Springs which was east of the present day Bonesteel. The people asked the Indians not to harm them. Sam's family and others had been sent to the Benjamin Turgeon ranch home for safety. The Indians caused no trouble and went on their way. Henry C. Lunn died February 5, 1967. Louise Turgeon Lunn passed away August 17, 1976 at Burke, South Dakota. They were the parents of four daughters: Helen (1924) married Alvin Westendorf; seven children - Raymond, Rosemary, Gary, Patricia Ann, Dee Ann, Sue Ann, and Shirley Ann. Marie (1926) married Robert N. Arnoldy; three chldren - Brett, Anna Marie, and Michael. Dorothy (1929) married Jacob Roemiling; three children - Mary Ann, Susan, and Jacob Steven. Henrietta (1933) married Walter Krier; six children - Alice, Jean, Daniel, James, John, and Teresa. ______

Mark Durfee, 88, of Highmore, died Sunday, October 14, 2007 at the Miller Good Samaritan Center. Mark was born near the Whetstone Creek in Gregory County, SD on July 30, 1919 to Thomas and Maude (Ross) Durfee. His love for the bottom country was deeply instilled in him and he loved to go for rides up and down the area recalling his childhood and family events. He settled in Highmore as a young man, married Elizabeth Rath in February, 1943, and began working as a livestock dealer and as a butcher for the City Meat Market. He eventually owned and operated the Jack and Jill Supermarket and Locker Plant until ill health prompted him to retire. Retirement was anything but; as he soon became very busy making fishing tackle and selling his crafts up and down the Missouri River. His love for the great outdoors was widely known as the weekends were always spent camping or fishing with friends and family. Mark was also a loyal and close friend to many and in retirement he was always helping someone paint, work cattle or just keeping "Doc" Autry Company as he traveled the countryside doing his veterinary practice. He became an active supporter of community life at every level. His greatest accomplishments in life were when he told about things he and others had helped develop in Highmore. His community was very special to him and he took great pride in projects that he helped on. He was a life-long member of the American Legion and the United Methodist Church. He is survived by his sons Don and his wife Vonnie of Lantana, FL, their children Cami Martin, Robert Wagner, Dawn Wagner, and eight great-grandsons, and his son Jim of Wells, MN, and his children Bryce and Shelby Durfee. Mark was preceded in death by his beloved wife Billee, his parents, eight brothers, a foster brother, two sisters, and one granddaughter. Funeral services were held Thursday, October 18, 2007 at the United Methodist Church, Highmore with Rev. Martin Earl officiating. Burial was in the Highmore Cemetery, directed by Luze Funeral Home of Highmore. www.familyfuneralhome.net

From "The Traverse City Record Eagle," "Home Burns," Friday, 20 January 1950, page 9. "Home Burns" Fire, the cause of which has not been determined, did extensive damage in the James Moulton home on Maple steet about 3:00 p.m. Thursday. The blaze was reported by Mrs. Evelyn Temple when some youngsters told her "there was something wrong at Moulton's." Mr. and Mrs. Moulton were not at home at the time. Two trucks and a complete compliment of men were required to bring the flames under control and confine the major damage to the living room in the front of the house. Fire Chief Roy Green stated that the damage has not been estimated but it will certainly be extensive.

According to Fern's sister, Ileen Emery, who was living with them at the time so that she could attend the Traverse City Senior High School, she was the cause of the fire. Before the family left that day Ileen had been smoking on the couch and put the cigarette out in an ash tray on the arm of the couch. She believes that that was the cause of the fire.

She married LLOYD C. BOYD1980,1981 July 30, 1932 in Winner, Tripp County, South Dakota1982,1983.

Notes for ADELL MAUDE BOSSINGHAM: From: "Todd County Tribune," by Sharon Deets, Wednesday, 7 August 2002, page 5.

Age: 88 Home: Rural Mission Born: July 24, 1914, at Burke, SD Parents: Morris and Anna (Emery) Bossingham Siblings: Six brothers, four sisters (Adell was third to the oldest) Spouse: Lloyd Boyd (dec. 1985) Children: Marie Waln, Parmelee; Lloyd Boyd Jr., McLaughlin, SD; Carmen Driving Hawk, Mesa, AZ; Dick Boyd, Donna Richards and Robert "Bobby" Boyd, all of Mission; Eddie Boyd (dec.); Theresa Boyd (dec. in infancy); 40 grandchildren; 103 great-grandchildren; 28 great-great-grandchildren Occupation: Homemaker; instructional aide at Rosebud Boarding School (retired) Hobbies/Interests: Cooking, crocheting, doing embroidery, playing bingo Profile: Get Adell Boyd talking about her life and two themes emerge almost immediately; family and faith. "I could search this world over, and I could never find any better mother and father, brothers and sisters, and children," she affirmed. "I thank God every day for my children and grandchildren." The family - Adell and all her descendants - currently spans five generations, many of whom recently gathered for her 88th birthday celebration. Reminded that she has 171 plus six living descendants, Adell laughed, "You mean I'm responsible for all that?" She finds it hard to believe her eldest daughter is nearing age 70. Adell was born in 1914 at Burke where her grandfather was sheriff, and her father ran a livery stable. That year, her father homesteaded in Todd County on the Schmidt place near Hidden Timber. Two years later, her mother and the children joined him. They traveled by wagon to Okreek, stayed one night with the Guy Lamberts, and arrived at the homestead the following day. A few years later, her father and his brother-in-law built what is still known as the old Bossingham house, along the highway about six miles east of Mission.

103 Warm weather or cold, every school day Adell and her siblings walked two miles west to Haystack Butte School. Mrs. Jim Dowd and Margaret (McCafferty) Mann were two of their teachers. As the third of 11 children, Adell learned responsibility early in life. She did most of the cooking for the family, getting up early in the morning to make huge stacks of pancakes for breakfast. She also helped milk cows. "Mother used to trust us on payday to go pay the grocery bill and get the groceries," she said. "She never had to tell us to take the clothes off the line." Adell played baseball with her brothers and loved to dance. "I went to a lot of dances out to the sheep ranch, at Blumenthals' and Einspahrs', danced till morning every Saturday night," she reminisced. "In them days, that's about all you did. We went to church on Sunday, but we only had Mass once a month out here." In high school, Adell attended three years at St. Francis and finished at Mission High School, then located at McCarty Hall. Her mother moved to Mission to take care of the children while they were in high school. Lloyd Boyd was working at Sokoliks', less than half a mile from the Bossinghams' house, when Adell first met him at a dance. She was still in her teens when they were married in 1932. Few houses were available then, so they rented an upstairs apartment from Herman and Minnie Horst until moving to their own place in Mission. In 1940, both Lloyd and Adell went to work as instructional aides at Rosebud Boarding School. They had an apartment in the boys' dorm, and their children attended the boarding school. When World War II began, Lloyd joined the Army and took basic training in California. Adell said she visited him there and came home expecting their fifth child. He was sent to Germany, and their daughter, Donna, was a year old by the time he came home. During their 30 years at the boarding school, the Boyds' home was often filled with children - their own and the other students. "There would be a whole houseful of kids, and we'd make fudge and popcorn," Adell recalled. "I always hugged my students and my kids. I loved kids. When I retired, I didn't miss my job but I missed the kids." Over the years, the Boyds got many letters from their former students, some of them in the service by then, thanking them for giving them guidance. "Two or three told me later, 'Mrs. Boyd, I even named one of my kids for you," Adell said. Although the Boyds retired from the boarding school in 1973, Adell still hears from students they taught. "I can't see now, but when someone come up to me and says, 'Hello, Mrs. Boyd,' I know I'm talking to one of my students," she said. Adell treasures those encounters with former students, many of whom claim her as Mom or Grandma. "I taught them to love and respect. That's what we were taught. My mom and dad were really strict, but even at the time they corrected us, I didn't feel resentment. Respect doesn't just come to children. They have to be taught. Love and respect and to know God: that's what we need in the world today," she declared. From her early experiences helping her mother with the cooking, Adell learned to love to cook. Her specialties were cinnamon rolls and pies, and fried chicken dinners on Sunday. "Lloyd and I would go to the first mass and come home, and I would fry chicken. The rest of the family would go to the second mass, then come home and eat," she reminisced. After they retired, Lloyd and Adell moved to their own home west of Mission. Lloyd got sick and died in 1985, and the following year, Adell moved in with her son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Barb. She spends winters with her daughter, Carmen, in Mesa, AZ, and usually spends several weeks each summer visiting her three brothers and two sisters in Michigan and her son in McLaughlin. Adell's macular degeneration advanced too quickly to be treated effectively, and she is now partially blind. She can't crochet, read or write now, and she especially misses cooking and baking. In her blindness, Adell finds comfort in her faith and family. Barb reads the Bible to her in the mornings, and at night when she can't sleep, Adell listens to the Bible on cassette tapes. Deacon Marlon Leneaugh brings communion to her every Thursday, and they spend time talking about the Bible. "I really appreciate that," she said. "I go to church every Sunday, but he still comes on Thursday. Some days, I feel good and some days I don't, but I go ot church every time I can. I've prayed the rosary every day since I retired." Adell prays for all her children and grandchildren, and for anybody she knows who is sick. "I thank God for all my children and grandchildren," Adell said again. "They all come to visit me and take me places. That makes my day and keeps me young." ______

Notes for MORRIS "SONNY" BOSSINGHAM: From: "Todd County Tribune," by Sharon Deets, abt. 2003, page 5.

MORRIS BOSSINGHAM

Age: 85 Home: Interlochen, MI Born: September 14, 1918, in Burke, SD Parents: Morris and Anna (Emery) Bossingham (both dec.) Siblings: Curtis and Margaret (both dec.), Adele Boyd, Mission, Ann and Walter (both dec.), Mona, Sam, Art, Bobby (dec.), and Mary Lou Spouse: Hazel (DeMarsh) Bossingham, originally from White River Children: Larry Bossingham, Las Vegas, NV, and Cheryl Lemcool, Kingsley, MI; four grandchildren, eight great-grandsons Occupation: Heavy equipment operator, head of maintenance at Interlochen Music Camp, Interlochen, MI (retired in 1979) Hobbies/Interests: Hunting pheasants and deer, used to attend rodeos Profile: They say it's all in the name, but with Morris Bossingham, it's a question of which name and how to spell it. Morris was named after his dad, but at school one of his sisters spelled his name Maurice, so he did, too, until years later when he was in the service. The spelling didn't matter much, though, because, from the time he was small, everybody called him Sonny. He had been called Sonny for so long, the people in Michigan with whom he worked for 33 years never knew his real name. The fifth of 11 children, Sonny spent his early years growing up in "the old Bossingham house" six and a half

105 miles east of Mission. The two-story house was built by Sonny's father and uncle - his mother's sister's husband - in about 1920. His uncle laid the flooring and sanded it, and Sonny remembers hearing how he wore out gunny sacks rubbing the flooring with sealer and varnish. The house was built with two upstairs bedrooms, one for the girls and one for the boys. "There were two big wide beds in each room. Five girls slept in the room on the east side and six boys slept on the west side," Sonny recalled. Their parents slept in another bedroom downstairs. A wood and coal furnace in the basement heated the house. The kitchen had a big cookstove with warming ovens and a warming reservoir on the side. They burned wood in the cookstove if they had it, but usually burned cobs with the corn still on them. "They were hard to get going, but they burned hot once you got them burning," Sonny said. They used kerosene lamps for light. With no electricity or plumbing, and no icebox, the Bossinghams kept the milk and butter in a deep pit near the windmill several yards south of the kitchen door. A rope tied to a bucket let them raise or lower things to the pit. A cream seperator stood outside the kitchen door. The Bossinghams milked as many as 21 head, all by hand. "Mom scrubbed the clothes on a washboard. She couldn't get anyone to do laundry for five boys," Sonny chuckled. Sometimes the Bossingham family hosted dances in the house. "We didn't have a whole lot of furniture," he said. "The big kitchen table got slid against the wall and there were only two chairs in the living room." Other times, the family and neighbors gathered in Burt Roundy's barn a couple of miles to the east (now the Jack Jansen place) and had dances in the haymow with a Bohemian band playing polkas. "One guy got too far off to the side and stepped in the chute where they put feed. His girlfriend looked around and her partner had disappeared," Sonny laughed. "Most of the people around here made home brew. A few made whiskey, too. Go to the dances, and everyone brought their home brew," he reminisced. Once in a while people would get into fights, but that usually happened at the dances at Mission Town Hall. Sonny's father had a ranch southeast of their house. He also had a meat market in Mission on the north end of Main Street. As a young boy of 10, Sonny and his older brother, Curtis, then in his late teens, butchered for the meat market. Later, his father sold half of the business to Glen Seadore who moved it to where the city office and clinic are now. The meat market had a big walk-in insulated cooler where a half hog and beef quarters were hung. Customers would order a cut of meat and Sonny's father would go back in the cooler and cut it for them. The Bossinghams also made bologna in a big cast iron pot and sold it at the meat market. Sonny still has his father's ledger book from the store. "Grandpa never worried about bills at the meat market," said Dick Boyd, Sonny's nephew. "He was honest. He believed people paid if they could. If they couldn't, he let it go. He said he might be in that condition sometime. He helped quite a few people who needed help." Sonny says the ledger book shows where his father paid taxes for people who couldn't pay, and sometimes paid for butchering for other people. Among other businesses in town at the time were Detman's Cafe and a hotel where the bank is now. An ice house stood behind the meat market to the east. Frank Cordier had a truck and hauled ice from Antelope Creek where horses pulled a machine that cut grooves in the ice in squares. An ice saw finished the cutting. The blocks of ice were packed in sawdust to keep them frozen in the ice house. From first through eighth grade, Sonny attended Haystack Butte School a mile or so west of their house. "We walked most of the time, unless Dad left a little late for the meat market. Then he took us," he related. The Detman and McKinney children rode horses, and sometimes, a family who had a car would pick up the other students who lived between their house and the school and all would ride together. The school had one big room and one teacher for all grades. One of the teachers was a cousin and boarded with the Bossinghams for awhile before moving to a place closer to the school. There were usually 25 to 30 students. A wood and coal furnace in the basement heated the building through a big register in the schoolroom floor. On very cold days, the smaller children usually didn't come to school; the ones who did would pull their desks up around the register to keep warm. "We never did get snowed in at school, but there were a few days we didn't go to school" because of the weather. Sonny reminisced. "In seventh and eighth grade, I went to school early so I could start the furnace." Though there were plenty of chores to do, as a youngster, Sonny still had time for play. In the wintertime, they went over to Haystack Butte and used barrel staves for skis or stood on a snow shovel to slide down the butte. "We wound up mostly turning somersaults down that hill," he laughed. Dick Boyd recalls a much-told family story on his uncle Walter who was playing with bone horses in the corral when he came on a big pile of cow manure. He covered it with a hat and told Sonny and his other brothers and sisters he had hid money under the hat. Of course, they dove in but what they found wasn't money. "We had things to do most of the time. The only time we had time to play with other kids was on Sunday," Sonny said. "We took care of the stock, then in the afternoon, we visited the neighbor kids. The only way we traveled was by horseback, on foot or in a team and wagon."

106 People looked out for each other more back then, Sonny believes. "Back there in them days, if something happened - people got sick and couldn't do their harvesting - neighbors would come and do it for them. If your house burned down, they'd come in and put up a building for you. People would come with teams and hayracks, and haul grain. The only ones who got any pay were the ones who didn't have any crops of their own. Nowadays, you'd better have your billfold handy," he said. "The thing I liked was the big meals they put on." ______

CARS COLLIDE AT JUNCTION NEAR HONOR

Two Traverse City area youths died Friday as the result of a mid-day collision of two cars at the junction of US-31 and Lamb road seven miles east of Honor in Benzie county. Dennis A. Williams, 16, of Buckley, driver of one of the cars was pronounced dead on arrival at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City. His passenger, Stephen Ramsay, 17, of rural Thompsonville died about 5 p.m. at the medical center of injuries sustained in the crash occurring about 12:15 p.m. The driver and lone occupant of the other vehicle, Don Schanz, 40, of Grand Rapids, was shaken up but not otherwise injured in the collision which demolished both cars. Benzie sheriff's department said the Williams car drove south from Lamb road into the path of the Schanz car, west-bound on US-31. The youths were reported to be returning home after working with a tree-trimming crew in Benzie county. Schanz told officers he swerved in an effort to avoid a collision, but the vehicles came together almost front to front. The Grand Rapids man credited a seat belt with keeping him from being thrown from his car as it bounced against an embankment after the crash. No summons was issued, the Benzie sheriff's department said. Dennis, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams of Buckley, was born August 28, 1949, in Lansing and in the fall would have been a senior at Hannah St. Mary's High School, where he was a varsity basketball player and a member of the baseball team.

Surviving besides the parents are two sisters, Dawn and Debra, and two brothers, Dean and Donald, all at home; the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Michels of Buckley and Rev. and Mrs. Albert Williams of Shaftsburg; and aunts, uncles, cousins, and other relatives.

Rosaries will be recited at 8 p.m. Sunday and Monday at Smith funeral home in Kingsley. Stephen, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Ramsay of Grant township in Grand Traverse county near Thompsonville, was born June 20, 1949 in Traverse City, and also would have been a senior at Hannah St. Mary's High School next school year. He was a member of St. Mary's church and of the Knights of the Altar.

129 Notes for PAUL EVERETT LARIMER: Paul Everett Larimer was reared on a farm in Lucas Co, Iowa. He married Marie Alvina Turgeon on January 21, 1935 at Valentine, Nebraska. At the time of his only child's birth later that year, he was working as a truck driver out of Valentine. This was in the midst of the Great Depression. By 1941 when the US declared war on Japan, they had returned to Lucas Co, Iowa where Paul engaged in farming with his father. He found this frustrating, though, as the tractor was gaining widespread use but his father clung to the practice of farming with horses. Paul and his wife were acquainted with a couple who were maid and butler for a Jewish doctor in the Chicago suburb of Blue Island, Illinois. This couple was returning to Iowa so Paul and Alvina took this opportunity to leave the farm and went to Blue Island and began working for the doctor's family. Their son began third grade there so this occurred in 1942 or 1943. They had quarters in the doctor's home. They found the city unsuitable to rearing their child so, in fourth grade he was sent to Burke, South Dakota to live with his mother's mother (Mary Dolezal-Turgeon) and her children. By about 1949 they relocated again. This time to a ranch in the south central area of South Dakota on the Rosebud Indian Reservation some distance from Mission, South Dakota and several miles north of Valentine. Nebraska. His wife being of descent of the Sioux nation, her family had land holdings from the government in that area. They built a comfortable home with outbuildings, well, water storage, etc. and ranched in this location for a few years. Finally, Paul moved his wife to Cedaredge, a small town on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains in Delta Co., Colorado. There they owned and operated a beer parlor until his death in 1963. Paul had been a heavy smoker much of his life. His son has stated that he had a severe smokers cough. His death was from heart problems.

I, Gertrude Jandreau, was born May 4, 1893, near Dunlap, Iowa. My mother was born in Washington County, Texas in 1848. My father was born at Ft. Thompson in a tent in 1849. We moved to South Dakota when I was 18 months old, we came by train to Springfield, South Dakota and came by team to Avon, South Dakota, where we made our home. I had one sister and one brother, Lee St. Pierre, he passed away in 1963 at Gregory, South Dakota. My father helped survey the Charles Mix County and helped locate a lot of people on their claims. My mother died in 1889 and is buried in Ft. Thompson and my father died in 1925 and is buried in Presho. I was married in Douglas County in 1903 to Lawrence Jandreau, and he passed away in 1958. He is also buried in Presho. We came to Lyman County in 1915 and to Lower Brule. I worked at the Indian boarding school until it closed. Lawrence worked for the government taking care of tribal cattle, he later worked for the government on predatory pest control from 1924 to 1929, with poison, traps, and rifle. The prairie dog extermination received considerable attention. He never did bag a gray wolf. Our allotments were both in Charles Mix County.

Our neighbors at Cedar Creek were Amaniel Mortenson, Joe Two Hawks, Big Heart, Driving Hawk, Eagle Star, Good Face, P. L. LaRoche, Fallis, Smalls, Long Fox and High Elks. We later moved west of Lower Brule and then moved to Lower Brule and I make my home with my granddaughter, Kay Gourneau. I have 15 grandchildren and 24 great grand children.

Notes for ORVILLE CLIFFORD "RED" LANGDEAU: Elders Jailed, Casino Opened.

When Lower Brule Reservation Tribal Chairman Michael Jandreau ordered the elders out of their community center so he could begin remodeling the building that was used as an elderly nutrition site and other community services into the Golden Buffalo Casino, the elders dug in. They circulated a petition to gather signatures protesting the tribal council's action and organized a vigil to occupy the building twenty-four hours a day to keep the construction crews from entering. Their plan was disrupted on December 13 when the community center was surrounded by tribal police in the early hours of the morning. The police hooked a chain to one of their cars, pulled the locked door off and arrested six elders and several other tribal members for occupying their own recreational center. Fourteen people were arrested and released the following day. Charges were made ranging from disobedience to falsifying signatures on a petition. Not only were these people protesting the loss of their community center to a gambling casino, they were also protesting the impact that a casino selling liquor that operated 24 hours would have on the reservation. Both the elementary school and the High School are in the same building complex at the community center. On January 13 when the elders were ordered to present their case before the Tribal Judge, teh judge was not present and the charges were dropped. Ellen Wright, one of the elders who was arrested, lost her job as the nutrition director for the tribe. Meanwhile, the community center was surrounded by BIA police as construction crews remodeled the building. The Golden Buffalo Casino, complete with more than 100 slot machines, and blackjack and poker tables, opened its doors on February 29. Orville "Red" Langdeau, a member of the Lower Brule tribal council, said the casino would provide more than 100 jobs to an area with painfully high unemployment. "You wouldn't believe the excitement down here," Langdeau said. Garfield Grassrope, a Lakota Elder who helped to organize the protest, looks at it differently and states it is just another "genocidal move on the U. S. side." He believes the BIA elders works right along with the U. S. Government and does not represent the needs of the people and the community. Grassrope said only the tribal council and their families are excited. The majority of the community is opposed to the casino. He is also concerned that they used the symbol of the buffalo, a sacred animal in Lakota spirituality, as a name for the casino. "This casino is against our spiritual ways. We will continue to fight," Grassrope said. "We keep praying. Through ceremony, spirit told us something will happen to these people. They said it is too early to tell us what it is. I feel bad for those guys. Something is going to happen. This whole system is corrupt." The late Two Crows stated on an interview of the KPFK's American Indian Airwaves in Los Angeles that the interest of the BIA or financial speculators is not the same interest as for the Indian people. According to Two Crows, what happened in Lower Brule is a prime example of why the Lakota Nation separated from the United States Government last July.

Gov. Bill Janklow plans to name the Springfield State Prison in honor of Mike Durfee, Deputy Secretary of the Department of Corrections. Dedication ceremonies will be held at the main entrance of the Springfield facility at 11 a.m. Friday, Sept. 10. "Mike is a very special South Dakotan," Janklow said. "He has put his heart into everything he does, and especially the community of Springfield," he said. "I know it was a difficult period when the school closed and the prison opened, but Mike is the type of person who saw the opportunity to make an important difference in the lives of people there, no matter if they were college students or inmates," Janklow said. "He still takes that approach, and we're lucky that he shares it with all of our prisons," he said. Durfee graduated from Southern State College with honors in 1968. After graduating he joined the faculty and was head wrestling coach, posting a win-loss record of 100 wins, 8 losses and 4 ties during his tenure. When Southern State College was closed and converted to a prison in 1984, Durfee became assistant warden and director of education for the prison. He established the prison's vocational training program. Durfee joined the staff of the Mitchell Vocational Technical Institute as assistant director in 1989. In 1992, he was named deputy secretary of the Department of Corrections. Durfee has received numerous honors, including University of South Dakota/Springfield Outstanding Alumnus, South Dakota Intercollegiate Conference Hall of Fame, South Dakota Wrestling Hall of Fame, Southern State Pointer Hall of Fame and South Dakota Vocational Association Outstanding Service Award. ______

I know it was a difficult period when the school closed and the prison opened, but Mike is the type of person who saw the opportunity to make an important difference in the lives of people there, no matter if they were college students or inmates. He still takes that approach, and we'ere lucky that he shares it with all of our prisons." Durfee attended Southern State College in Springfield, where he was a standout athlete. After graduating from the college with honors in 1968, he joined the faculty of the school and was head wrestling coach, posting a 100-8-4 win-loss record during his coaching tenure. When the college was closed and converted to a prison in 1984, Durfee became Assistant Warden and Director of Education for the prison, establishing the prison's vocational training program. In 1989 he joined the staff of the Mitchell Vocational Technical Institute as Assistant Director. In 1992, Durfee was named Deputy Secretary of the Department of Corrections, where he oversees the state's adult prisons and prison industries. Mike and his wife Chere' (pronounced "Sherry") have two grown children and four grandchildren. Mike Durfee was born in Pierre in 1944, and grew up on the family farm south of Highmore, South Dakota. After graduating from Highmore High School, he attended Southern State College in Springfield (in 1971, Southern State College became the University of South Dakota / Springfield.), where he was a standout athlete in both football and wrestling. He was named to All-District and All-American teams in football and won three conference wrestling titles. Durfee graduated from the Southern State College with honors in 1968 with a degree in Vocational Technical Teacher Education. Later that year, he joined the faculty of the school and was named head wrestling coach and assistant football coach. During his ten-year career as head wrestling coach, his teams posted a 100-8-4 dual meet won-loss record, including an undefeated season in 1975-76. He was named South Dakota College coach of the year in 1976. In 1978, Durfee became a partner in a Ford/Mercury car dealership in Springfield, and remained there for six years. When the University of South Dakota/Springfiel was closed and converted to a prison in 1984, Durfee was named Assistant Warden and Director of Education for the prison. He established the vocational training programs and incorporated the original prison policies along with assisting with the initial recruitment of prison staff. He has also served as acting warden of the Springfield prison and the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls. In 1992, he became the Deputy Secretary of Corrections, overseeing the adult prison system and prison industries. While in Springfield, Durfee also served on the Bon Homme School District School Board, Springfield Chamber of Commerce, and Springfield Development Corporation and was active in the Springfield Fire Department and St. Vincent Catholic Church. Durfee has received numerous honors, including University of South Dakota/Springfield Outstanding Alumnus; South Dakota Intercollegiate Conference Hall of Fame; South Dakota Wrestling Hall of Fame; Southern State College Pointer Hall of Fame; and South Dakota Vocational Association Outstanding Service Award. ______

Prior to 1978, Michael was wrestling coach at the University of South Dakota and assistant football coach. He also taught in the mechanical technology area. From 1978 to 1984, they were part owners of the Ford- Mercury dealership in Springfield and also owned an Amoco service station.

Richard was born to Fern Emery out of wedlock. He was raised as the son of his grandparents, Samuel and Harriet Emery. He and the family did not find out the secret until he joined the Navy.

Richard knew his father as Roger Manion, not Roger Morrison. A Roger Manion as living on the Rosebud Reservation in 1930 that may have been his father.

He is called Richard Samuel Emery on his second Certificate of Baptism which was issued by Rev. Louis Fohls, June 16, 1944 at Kingsley, Michigan. It also lists Sam and Hattie Emery as his parents.

Richard was given the middle name Wayne when he was born. His grandparents, Sam and Hattie Trudell, who raised him, gave him the middle name of Samuel, but he reverted back to Wayne when he joined the Navy.

According to his Certificate of Discharge, United States Coast Guard, Richard served in the Merchant Marine on the ship "Joseph Murgas" from January 13, 1945 until his discharge March 16, 1945 in New York.

According to his Seaman's Certificate of Identification, he was 5 feet, 4 1/2 inches tall, with brown hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion.

Richard adopted Christopher Emery in 1981 in Pascagoula, Mississippi. He is the biological grandson of Dolores (Beaulieu) Emery.

Notes for MICHAEL L. JANDREAU: From: "Capital Journal," "A Shared Vision," by Mary Gales Askren, 29 October 2001.

On Saturday, close to four dozen people gathered at the Holiday Inn Express in Fort Pierre to begin creating a shared vision for the future of the Wakpa Sica Reconciliation Place. President of the Wakpa Sica Historical Society Clarence Mortensen, right, discussed with fellow board member and Lower Brule Tribal Chief Michael Jandreau, in striped shirt at left, the proposed facility for the Wakpa Sica Reconciliation Place. Following more than six hours of discussion on Saturday, many who attended the roundtable conference drove to the site north of Fort Pierre. On Saturday, close to four dozen people gathered at the Holiday Inn Express in Fort Pierre to begin creating a shared vision for the future of the Wakpa Sica Reconciliation Place. "The potential for this is limited by only our imagination," said Michael Swallow, tribal attorney for the Standing Rock Reservation and chief justice for the Oglala Sioux Tribe. The Wakpa Sica Reconciliation Place was authorized by Public Law 106-568 in December, but Congress has not yet appropriated the $18.3 million grant authorized by the law. When the project receives funding, a facility will be built on U. S. Highway 1806 near the Fort Pierre Chouteau site. Gov. George Mickelson was credited at Saturday's meeting with inspiring the project. While governor, Mickelson called for a Year of Reconciliation and later for a Century of Reconciliation "because he realized the enormity of the task," according to Clarence Mortenson, president of the Wakpa Sica Historical Society. Saturday's meeting was the first of five meetings scheduled to discussed the project. "We are trying to create something, trying to create an idea that all the tribes will support," Swallow said. The law established the Wakpa Sica Reconciliation Place to house an economic development center, the Sioux Nation Tribal Supreme Court, and a facility to train tribal personnel in conflict resolution; to provide for the interpretation of the encounters between Lewis and Clark and the Sioux Nation; and to enhance the knowledge and understanding of the history of Native Americans. Saturday's discussion focused on economic development and on the tribal judicial system. The two are inter- related, according to Mortenson. Despite the Community Reinvestment Act of the 1960s which prohibited discriminatory lending practices, lending institutions have been hesitant to loan money for development on reservations, he said. The lack of a uniform system of laws among tribes is the reason for this, Mortenson said. Discussion at Saturday's conference suggested several factors for the inconsistencies. In part, problems exist because tribal courts were created in the 1970s. "We do not have our laws developed," Swallow said. "Our judicial systems are young." Problems also exist because of differences between traditional Lakota methods for conflict resolution and Western methods for conflict resolution. Not all of those present expressed a belief that the Western system of justice is best. "You go into a court - one comes out smiling and one comes out angry. That's not justice," said Bryce In The Woods from Cheyenne River. Tom Van Norman, attorney for the Cheyenne River tribe, said that traditional ways and the wisdom of the elders must be used in developing a uniform judicial system. He said at Cheyenne River traditional peace-making

179 efforts are being used "so when people come out they are not angry." Francis Whitebird of Pierre said the Lakota language must be considered when talking about the courts because the language, the stories and the songs contain the values of the people. "They're not like the dysfunctional cowboy love songs. They're songs that give us instruction," he said. Throughout the day, the elders spoke, sometimes in Lakota and sometimes in English, often teasing one another about their ages. Those who sit on the Wakpa Sica Historical Society board expressed their vision early in the day. "We are a nation," said elder and board member Webster Two Hawk. "Each one is a band of that great Sioux nation. We are all inter-related. If we unite, we can get things done." There are many tribal governments in South Dakota. Each one has a chairperson. Here is the story of one of them. Michael B. Jandreau is the chairman of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He is a successful rancher on the reservation. He also serves on the tribal council. He began in 1972 as vice-chairman. He has been tribal chairman for twenty-one years. He started many of the tribe's projects. Today the tribe's farm corporation is the number one grower of popcorn in the world. It also grows navy beans. Jandreau also guides other programs for the tribe. Some of them are the Lower Brule Wildlife Program and the Golden Buffalo Casino. ______

LOWER BRULE TRIBE PLANTS SEEDS FOR ECONOMIC SUCCESS

LOWER BRULE - On an unusually hot and sun-drenched April afternoon, Michael Jandreau stands in the middle of a sprawling cornfield wearing an optimistic grin. Winter appears officially over, and farmers here soon will begin planting crops on the thousands of acres owned by the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. Jandreau, the tribe's long-time chairman, views the operation as the backbone of a rare but relatively successful economic-development drive in South Dakota's Indian country. The tribe started the farm in 1977 with 1,500 irrigated acres on its reservation in central South Dakota. That figure now tops 6,000, Jandreau says, and despite lean times, such as the 2002 drought, he counts about $13 million in cumulitive profits over the years. "That's dam good," says the 59-year-old Jandreau, noting there is no other such Indian-run operation in the state that rivals Lower Brule's. He says the farm is part of an overall effort to leverage the tribe's sovereign and beef up tribal-run businesses to benefit the reservation's residents. The tribe has 750 head of cattle, and it grows beans, corn and wheat. It has gained widespread attention for the 7 million pounds of popcorn produced here annually, making the tribe among the nation's top growers. Only about eight farmers work the land full time, Jandreau says, but it affords seasonal work for several more tribal members and, equally important, the profitable operation generates money for the tribe to create other jobs and new services. In fact, in recent years, the town of Lower Brule, which serves as the commercial center of the reservation, has added a bank branch, hotel and restaurant attached to a new casino, a community center and new tribal headquarters. Those alone have created about 100 jobs, and in a rural area with a work force of about 600, the difference is glaringly obvious. Outside of town, the tribe has invested in an expansive hunting operation for tourists. As many as 1,000 hunters come annually for pheasants and waterfowl - and bigger game. The tribe has 400 buffalo and 160 elk. "We sell licenses for prairie dogs to buffalo and everything in between," says Joel Bich, a tribal wildlife biologist. To be sure, by state or national standards, the economy here remains mired in endless recession. Large pockets of blight can be found throughout the reservation. The crime rate is twice as high as that of the statewide average. The unemployment rate is a wildly moving target, but local estimates have ranged from 25 percent to 40 percent in recent years. The rate in Sioux Falls hovers around 3 percent. The tribe, some council members say, struggles many months to manage its financial margins, in part because the national economy's anemic growth has hampered investments. But unemployment on the Lower Brule reservation is lower that in past decades, and it is considerably better that found in much of present-day Sioux territory in South Dakota. "Most people that want to work are working," says John McCauley, the tribe's treasurer. "That's the way I see it, because we have jobs out here." The 2000 census showed that median household income in Lyman County, which includes most of the Lower Brule Tribe's land, was more and $28,000. That's well below the state average of $35,200, but it's twice as much as in neighboring Buffalo County,

180 which is home to the Crow Creek Sioux. Buffalo County posted a median household income of $12,692 and a 57 percent poverty rate, making it the most impoverished in the United States. With private enterprise virtually nonexistent, unemployment there approaches 80 percent. Such downtrodden conditions also can be found in Shannon, Ziebach and Todd counties. All include Sioux reservations where one in two people live in poverty. They rank among the top five poorest counties nationally.

HISTORY OF OPPRESSION

Most Sioux trace such woes back to white settlers' march across the Northern Plains in the 1800s. With the government clearing land for homesteads, the Great Sioux Nation, which includes the Lower Brule and other Sioux in South Dakota, lost hundreds of thousands of acres to settlers. The various Sioux bands, which once built their livelihood around buffalo hunting, were left with comparably small tracts of reservation land and little space to hunt. During the years, they waged numerous legal battles and in 1980 the Supreme Court ruled that their lands, including the Black Hills, had been wrongly taken. The court awarded a multimillion-dollar settlement, but the Sioux refused, saying they also wanted at least part of their land back. They continue that campaign today. But most recognize they must first generate economic strength from within before they'll have the kind of social and financial clout needed to get Congress to take their claims seriously. Many in Indian country point to the Lower Brule Tribe as having at least made progress on that front.

ECONOMIC PROGRESS

The difference on Lower Brule, many here say, is consistent leadership. Consider: Crow Creek has had four different tribal chairs in the past decade. With elections held every two years, those involved with government on the reservation say, leadership can turn over regularly, and each time it does, the new man or woman in charge starts from scratch. That makes it difficult to implement and see through economic development projects and other initiatives. Crow Creek leaders have complained that a lack of stability has prevented them from advancing. In the 1990s, for instance, the tribe received 600 acres of land from the U.S. Corps of Engineers and about $27 millions as compensation for land it lost during the construction of the Big Bend Dam. Leaders at the tiem wanted to use the money and land to build a resort along the Missouri River, hoping to generate dozens of new jobs. But with turnover on the tribal council, the plans were never carried out. On Lower Brule, meanwhile, Jandreau has been on the council for 31 years, serving as chairman for the past 24, and others on the council have held slots for several years. With stable leadership, the tribe has been able to work on long-term projects and spend the necessary time negotiating with businesses off the reservation to consider setting up shop here. The Lower Brule Sioux, like their neighbors on Crow Creek, were compensated for land lost with the Big Bend Dam was built. In the '90s, they put the more than $39 million into a trust and use the interest money it generates for community services. Namely, within the past two years, they've spent $11.7 million to build a new community center - complete with a pool, fitness center and gym - and a new 58,000-square-foot tribal headquarters that sits atop a hill and overlooks the town of Lower Brule and Lake Sharpe. "When we lost that land, we lost some of the most fertile farmland we had," says Orville "Red" Langdeau, a tribal councilman for the past 11 years. "We had to have something to show for that, but there were tough decisions that had to be made, and it would have been awful hard to make those decisions if everybody was new every two years and we had this huge learning curve," he adds. "Things would have come to a halt."

SIGNS OF CHANGE

Jandreau cites the local bank office, a rarity in western South Dakota's Indian country, as a prime example of Lower Brule's success. It took much longer than a two-year term to pull together a plan to bring a Wells Fargo office to Lower Brule. But in the end, tribal leaders were able to construct an office building, then lease the space to the bank. It sits across the street from the tribe's Golden Buffalo Casino, providing easy bank access. Stability, too, has helped the tribal farm work out long-term contracts with Frito Lay and other national companies. It also allowed leadership to stay in places such as the Lower Brule Wildlife Program, which

181 administers the hunting business. "When it come down to it, having that stability has been a huge plus in not just getting things going but keeping them going," says Ben Janis, director of the wildlife program. But some argue that making strides on Lower Brule is much simpler than, say, on the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation. Only about 1,600 people live on the Lower Brule reservation, including 1,200 enrolled tribal members. That's about one-tenth the size of Pine Ridge and a much more manageable number when it comes to reaching a concensus on business decisions and rallying a majority of the vote when it comes to running for office. Moreover, some here think that, stability aside, Jandreau has been on the job too long. Alfred "Sonny" Ziegler, a tribal council member, says Jandreau is so used to running the show that he now micro-manages the tribe's affairs and is slow to provide a public accounting of money made by - and spent on - operations such as the farm. "We just don't get the information we need," Ziegler says. "We don't know exactly where things sit, and we should. We were elected to do that." That has spawned concerns of mismanaged money under Jandreau's watch, and it also made it difficult for council members to know whether the tribe can afford to continue expanding business ventures of if it should make cuts. "We are ahead of everybody else," in terms of economic development on reservations in the state, "but there's still a lot of internal conflict here," says Benjamin Thompson, a tribal council member. "We have our share of problems." Council member Shawn LaRoche uses the casino as an example. While Jandreau notes that it is projected to make a $1.4 million profit this year, supporting 48 jobs on the reservation, LaRoche says the majority of employees are not tribal members. He says the private-sector management hired by Jandreau is concerned strictly about the business, not how it should benefit the tribe. "We should have more jobs for tribal members than we do," LaRoche says. "There's always another side to the story."

A BETTER LIFE

Jandreau says credit for success and blame for problems are easily spread around. But what matters to him and the majority who continue to vote him into office, he says, is that the Lower Brule Sioux are finding ways to better their living conditions without abandoning their land and their history. "It's part of our reality now that tribes must get involved with developing their own resources and making their own (money)", Jandreau says on that hot afternoon as he surveys the soil in one of the tribe's fields. "Tough decisions are part of that. But unless we do that, it's going to always be a very difficult situation." Jandreau's current term expires late next year, when he will be 61, Asked if he'll run again, he pauses and adjusts the brim on his cap, which is emblazoned with the slogan "Native Pride." "I really don't know. I'm getting old," he says, gesturing to the pot belly that grew in middle age. "It's hard work, and I might just give it up. But we've had visionary leaders before me and we'll have them after." The Lower Brule "are progressive people," he says, "and we won't give up on the tribe."
