FENENGA - I'm doing
"research" and have unearthed the family name FENENGA and the SDGENWEB
page(s) gave a 'hit' for
(I think) an Agnes Fenenga (a naturalization, I think).
The family I'm interested in was connected with the missionary effort in the
Ottoman Empire and also (probably) Near East Relief after WW1. I'm hoping for
some short cut avenues. Do you know of anyone
doing active research on this
name? Many of the people that served in the missionary field (or, their
families) left their "papers", in
manuscript form, to a library or archive. I'm
especially interested in finding her papers.

JOHNSON - Benjamin homestead the NW 1/4 of Section 29 in Township 2 North,
Range 29 East (160 acres June 27, 1912, and
land patent issued Oct. 3, 1912.
This is about 20 miles NE of Murdo, SD (pretty much between Murdo and Draper).
This area is close
to the town of Van Metre -- at that time -- now a ghost town.
Further, Ben sold the land to Andreas (Andrew) Johnson on Mar. 6, 1916,
then to
JA HOAG in October 1916. Looking at the homestead map, several Johnsons
homesteaded around Ben. These names are:
Carrie Johnson west of Ben, Agnes Marie
Johnson directly south of Ben and Andreas Johnson south of Agnes. Andreas
(Andrew). It
appears that Ben migrated west with the RR. Kadoka, in Jackson
County, is 40 miles west of Murdo and is the neighboring county
west of Jones
County. In the late 1800's, this area (now known as Jones County) was originally
called Pratt, an unorganized county.
To the east of Pratt was a small organized
county called Lyman County. Lyman convinced Stanley County (north of Lyman) and
Pratt
to consolidate to form one Lyman County. A fight to split went on for many
years until the west half of Lyman County gained enough
population to overcome
the "eastern" vote. The split occurred in 1916 and Jones County was in existence
Jan 1, 1917. Most records
pertaining to people around there (in the early days)
can usually be found at Kennebec. Jones County records do include homestead
records, but birth, deaths, etc don't begin until 1917. Dale Convey

SPRY - I am researching Rachel Elizabeth SPRY who died in Lyman County in
Iona on Sept. 13,1925 according to her death certificate. The certificate says
she lived there for 13 years so I conclude she came there in 1912. She was
married to George W. Spry who
was a Civil War veteran and died in Leavenworth,
Kansas on June 11, 1908. According to pension records, "Frances LILLY
inter-married with Clarence Lilly". Frances was born about 1906 or 1907. Rachel
was born Nov. 20, 1821 according to her death certificate.
I believe she is the
same Rachel listed under Spry on your information except that the date of death
does not match up however my
Rachel would have been 103 years old. My Rachel was
born in Buck Grove, 11 per her death certificate. I'm also wondering if the
George Spry listed is Rachel's husband? She didn't move to SD until 1912 but she
could have buried her husband there I guess.
Thank you. I appreciate your
assistance. getoffutt@msn.com

TAGTOW - The South Dakota State Library has a patron who is looking for a Missouri River
pilot (steamboat captain) license for Katherine TAGTOW. It would be in
the 1920's and early 1930's. She and her father, George Tagtow, had a government
contract to ferry their boat between Lower Brule and Ft. Thompson. Would you
happen to know where they might have kept those or anything about what the
steamboat (ferry) company was called or who might know anything about this?

WARREN - I'm researching my great-grandfather, Oliver B. WARREN and I've
learned that he was granted a land patent for land in Lyman County in 1908 and I
found two entries for Warren, O.B. in the 1911 Lyman County Townships and
Landowners listing. Oliver Warren was married in Dec. 1904 in North Dakota and
it's possible that he and his wife may have lived in Lyman County for a while. I
know from census records that he was living in Delmont, Douglas County in 1910
and 1920. He moved to Ohio with all of his family in 1927.

WIXON - My great aunt and husband, Lewis WIXON and Edna JARDON WIXON
started farming in 1908 near Murdo on a 160
acre spread. By 1909, they were
gone. Is there anything in your history books about floods or bad weather which
would have accounted
for that. They came from Michigan with high hopes and about
a year later were in southern New York
state. That seems so strange to me. Any
help would be appreciated. Marilyn Smith, Tulsa, OK Marilyn
