- I
contacted you quite awhile ago
about copies of obituaries but I
didn't get back to you. I
noticed you have access
to
family histories in the Lyman
County History Book. Especially
interested in the TILLOTSON
family, since that is where the
other families descend from.
Thanking
you in advance, Susan Audy

BISEL/SULLIER/MOLASH
- My name is Harold LeRoy Bisel. I am 80. My
father, Harold Willis Bisel's father, Benjamin Franklin
Bisel married Ellen Sulier on July 4, 1896. (I
believe there are two Ellens.) Grandma Ellen's father
was Vincent. Ben and Ellen farmed near the small town
of
Burtrum. I also remember Aunt Anna, Ellen's
sister. who married Fred Heffron and lived to be 104 or
106. I noticed there is a connection to the Molash name
with a Frank Engstrom (Grey Eagle, MN) who was related
somehow to us, too. We lived in the Grey Eagle,
Minnesota area and many are buried there. I have some
info on my family tree on the internet and you can go
to: Harold Bisel and link to the web site. Very
interesting. Don't know the connection yet but will
keep digging. Harold Bisel

| BRICKMAN
-
When I started doing the Brickman family history
the only information that I found about the babies came from Paul
Olson, the
caretaker of
the Presho city cemetery. He was such a great help, he went out
of
his way to help us. The only thing that he
had in his records was: 1 child d.April 17, 1909, age 2 years, 1 child d. April 7, 1908, age 8 months. Later
you sent an obit to me
that said, Brakeman's baby April 4, 1909. John
Brakeman's (Brickman) eight month old baby boy died Monday after a short illness.
The parents live eight miles southwest (Hilmoe).
Lyman County settler April 17, 1909.I
found out later one
baby was named
Theodore and one Robert. Both dates on the stone are the death
dates. Was there an outbreak of some disease at that time ? I never did find
exact birth dates for the children. Hope this clears up the confusion on the
dates.
The picture of the headstone on the internet
is very nice. Carmen Lamb

CABLE/KNIGHT -
I am seeking
information on Elwood Lincoln Cable and a Mrs. John
Knight. Elwood Cable was first married to my
great-aunt, Cora Brownell Knight in Hudson, SD. They
had one daughter, Lelia. Cora Cable died young at the
age of 25 so Elwood may have married again. I am also
trying to find out if the Mrs. John Knight mentioned on
your website may have been Christina Knight who also
homesteaded in Hudson with her husband John. Betty

COOPER/HUMPHREYS -
Barbara,
This site is fantastic! I have never come across more
information on any other site! You have done an
outstanding job. I have found information I was
looking for on the J.B. or John Robert Cooper family,
however I do need more information. I am helping a man confirm a burial location for
a J.B. or John Robert Cooper in Iowa. I am from Osceola
Co. Iowa and it has recently been thought that this man
was in this area and died here. Possibly buried in a
country cemetery in an unmarked grave. This man was a
soldier in the Battle of the Little Big Horn in Custer's
Last Stand. From your website I believe I have found
that his wife is Rachel Anne Humphreys, daughter of
Fernando Cortez Humphreys who also resided in your area.
The Cooper's had a daughter Flossefa Cooper. I found on
your site that she married a Wm. Robertson. I believe
John & Rachel had a son also but don't know his name. Thanks for your time,
Dianne Raveling, Sibley, IA 712-754-2935.

The information I have is such: 1.) Oct. 1, 1903-Sibley
Gazette-Harris News- Mr. Cooper, who was taken sick while
here, passed away Thursday night (Sept. 24) The remains
were laid to rest in the Fairview cemetery Saturday. His
wife and children arrived here from their home in
Dakota, Saturday morning, to pay tributes to their
departed dead. 2,) Oct. 8, 1903-Osceola Co.
Tribune-Harris News- Mrs. J.B. Cooper and children and
her brother-in-law, Mr. G.W. Caldwell, arrived from
Spencer, SD last Saturday morning, being called here by
the death of Mrs. Cooper’s husband. Mr. Caldwell is a
brother of Mrs. Stratton. 3.)
October 1, 1903-Osceola
Co. Tribune-Harris News-Robert Cooper of Lake Park came
over Saturday and walked out to the Wm Johnson place.
On returning he became suddenly ill in the Blue Front
Restaurant. His illness was caused by being overheated,
and having had a sunstroke before he was easily
effected. Dr. Cady was called and Mr. Cooper on
reviving was taken to the hotel where he is at present.
His father-in-law of Chamberlin, South Dakota arrived
Tuesday and is taking care of him. His wife and children
who are in South Dakota on a homestead which he had
recently taken and where he was to join them in a short
time have been sent for. There is little hope for his
recovery.
Barbara, You may remember that I
emailed you this past spring in regard to your Lyman Co.
Website, which again is just fantastic! Your friend
Marlys contacted me and she was so kind to go to the
library to look for information for me. However she did
not come up with anything. I am wondering how you can
help me. Is there a way I can actually read these old
newspapers on the internet? How can I read it?

COULL/WOODWARD/MCWHIRTER
- My husband found the
online history of Vivian this evening and I was
certainly please to see it. My parents both grew up in
Vivian and I spent much time there visiting my grandparents, Lloyd and Addie Coull. My mother's parents were L.C.
Woodward (of the snake story) and Edna Jean McWhirter.
The McWhirters came around 1906 and hom esteaded north of
town. (my Mom died a year
ago and would have gotten a chuckle out of the snake
story). My dad's family didn't come until later, but
Grandpa Coull had a barbershop in town. Mom and Dad
both graduated from Vivian High School and loved going
the
school reunions. My brother Dennis worked a couple of
summers at Dad's uncle Harold Smith's farm when he was
around 14-15. Anyway, we have fond memories of Vivian.
In any of your research of Vivian, so you recall
a picture of the barbershop which was on Main Street?
The building is long gone, of course, and nobody seems
to have a picture of it. Dad Clayton Coull died in 2006
and Mom in 2008. They loved telling stories of their
years
growing up there. I had gone through the microfilm of
the Vivian Wave a few years ago, and found it quite
fascinating. Thanks for your having this online. Pat (Coull)

GREFF -
Barbara, I believe I am the
one that provided you with the burial permits that are
shown on the following link. I heard recently from my
mother (the granddaughter of Ida Greff) that she had
heard back in the 1970s that the reason no graves can be
found is that a road now runs over the plots. Is that
possible? She would have heard this from her mother
who visited Chamberlain in 1972 (after having left in
1908) --- and her mother would have remembered the
general location of the grave. Also, do the burial
permits that I provided to you look like others that you
have seen for River View?

| HALL -
I am a direct descendent
of the William Hall that was the son of Gilbert Hall.
He came to Guilford and the Hall family is still in the
Madison and Clinton, CT area and I am moving there from
NC next month. In my research the only thing we
know about William's wife was that her name was
Hester. I didn't even know he had a brother although of
course my family was only concerned about our tree which
goes back to William and then Gilbert. Do you know
anything else about Gilbert? From William on down,
I have the family history. One more thing.
Doe anyone know what ship they came over on or when
they came? Thank you for any information you may have.
My mother was a Hall; a direct descendent, and I named
my daughter with the middle name of Hall because they
were such a wonderful family. Have a great day.

| HUBBARD/LACUE/LARUE -
Is it possible that
Anson
Hubbard married Hannah LARUE instead of Lacue? Am
unable to find any Lacue's but have been able to put a
family tree together with the name LaRue. I
really appreciate all the work you have done on these
marriage
records. I have been able to add information to
the family tree. Anson is my husband's great-uncle.
Hannah was his 3rd wife. (I haven't found wife no 1
yet). She was married to John Simon Larue
10 Dec 1884 in
Whiteside County, Illinois (divorced). Her
maiden name was Griswold - dau of
Jonathan
Powell Griswold and Lehila Loretta Slater. I
found Anson and Hannah on the 1910 US Census Virgil
Township, Lyman County, SD. They applied for a
homestead in
Meath Park, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1919 and he
became a naturalized citizen of
Canada
in 1925. They were still living there in 1930. I have
no obits on either one of them. I have some information
on her five children by Larue. My husband's grandfather
was Benjamin Franiklin Hubbard, who also lived in Lyman
County in 1910. Thank You. Darlene Hubbard

LYON -
My grandfather, Clyde Mortimer Lyon,
and his wife Janette Olive Evans, married in 1905 in Lakota, N.D.
They were from Williamsburg, Iowa originally. After the birth of my
mother, Myrna Lyon Ferris in 1906,
they moved to McClure Township,
108 N R 78W, Sec. 19 where they proved up 160 acres as a homestead.
When they were packed and ready to head out
to N.D. from Iowa, to my
grandmother's surprise, they were
joined by another wagon containing
her in-laws the Mortimer W. Lyons along with Clyde's sister Vivian.
I have a picture of them outside the tar paper house they lived in
there in S.D. all packed up to make their return trip
back to
Iowa. I would like to know how long they kept the land and when it
was sold. I was surprised that they still were listed as owners in
1911.

Maurice
Menard dit Lafontaine
Good afternoon – I hope this email reaches
you as you seem to have amassed quite a bit
of information regarding the Menard/Mesnard
family history. I am researching my
husband’s ancestral line and have connected
him to Maurice Menard dit Lafontaine and
Madeleine Couc dit Lafleur. In one of the
many things I have come across, it states in
a record of his death that he was “sergent a
demi-solde pour le Roi”, which literally
seems to translate to mean ‘being a sergeant
at half pay for the King’. Was this a type
of pension for services rendered? I know he
was a voyageur and interpreter but can’t
connect him to the sergeant part. Also I
read somewhere that he ‘petitioned’ to have
Madeleine granted the right to be at Fort
Michilimackinac ’. Why would he need
permission – because she was of mixed blood?
And would that be permission from the
Governor, the Jesuits, the colonists?
Any information you have that would clarify
those areas would be appreciated. Sincerely,
Willi Johnston

Hello! My grandfather's name is Normand Menard (Worcestor,

history and it's a little rough in terms of all the
details it seems to match up extremely well to the
info on this page (http://sdgenweb.com/lyman/Families/mesnard.htm).
I'm so interested to learn more about the native
American heritage and what tribe exactly Miteouamigoukue
is from. I know it says Algonquin, but i have heard that
it spread far and that many different tribes spoke it.
Maurice Menard and Madeline Couc LaFleur's son Antoine
Menard belongs to our tree. I can't wait to tell
my grandfather - this is a lot of info! Thank You,

in the 1930's in Leduc County).
They left Oacoma in 1902 and
came
to Alberta Canada. They may have come by horse and wagon
as I am told they brought cattle with
them. They had seven
children: Mary married a

the 1900's. I have been told there is a Moeller Cemetery
at Oacoma and Derricks are also buried there. Not sure
if they traveled together, but one of the Moeller
daughters married a Derrick up here. Can you give me any
help or ideas? Thank you, Darcie-Anna

Heffron and lived to be 104 or 106. I noticed there is
a connection to the Molash name with a Frank Engstrom

| PEYTON - My grandparents were Henry
L. Peyton and Adeline (Addie) Thom Peyton, who moved from Iowa to a farm in
Lyman Co.
about 1908. At this time they had a son, Frederick William and a
daughter, Ethel Maude.
Ethel's twin, Esther Mae died in Iowa at
seven months
of age. They had a stillborn son in 1908 and he is buried in the Kennebec,
Lyman Co., SD cemetery. I believe they
named him Leonard Leroy.
Henry was known as "Hank"
and had a brother living in Kennebec, named
Charlie, and I believe a
married sister, who's husband ran a store. I think
the surname was Meckling, perhaps Ira?
Another son, Robert Henry, was
b.
February 20, 1915.(This was
my father.) When he was about five years
old the Peyton's moved into the town of Kennebec. My father,
known as
Bob, or "Baldy" Peyton, was a barber in Presho for over 40 years, until
his death in 1976. He is bur. in the
Kennebec cemetery along with his
father, mother, baby brother, younger son, Robert Leroy, who died in 1943 at
age of 4 years. I would like to hear
from anyone in the area who may

I am the
Seehausen family historian and researching my grandfather, Thomas

Thomas and his wife Ida Mae and their two children, Thomas Jr. and

Kennebec on June 19-21. Any information you could give
me about the cigar
factory or the Shanahans willbe helpful. ThanksRobert L. Seehausen

| STRAUSS -
My name is Marie and I
have been researching the Strauss family from Iowa to
S.D. and back to Iowa. On your web for the deaths in
Lyman County you have listed a John W. Strauss date of
death 11/27/1943. I requested a copy of his death
certificate from vital records in Pierre. They claim not
to have a death certificate or any record of his death.
I know he lived in S.D. as he and some of his sibling
owned land in Lyman County during 1911, I have the deeds
and land plots. Is there any other information you can
suggest? I would really like any information on the
Strauss family. On the land deeds and plots John is
listed as J. William Strauss. Could his death
certificate be under that name? The family also had land
in Custer, it was Medicine Man Ranch which the Boys
Scouts now own, so I know there is some history I
am just at a wall.
Anything will be helpful at this point. Thank you for
your time, Marie Strauss

SULLIER/MOLASH/BISEL/
- My name is Harold LeRoy Bisel. I am 80. My
father, Harold Willis Bisel's father, Benjamin Franklin
Bisel married Ellen Sulier on July 4, 1896. (I
believe there are two Ellens.) Grandma Ellen's father
was Vincent. Ben and Ellen farmed near the small town
of
Burtrum. I also remember Aunt Anna, Ellen's
sister. who married Fred Heffron and lived to be 104 or
106. I noticed there is a connection to the Molash name
with a Frank Engstrom (Grey Eagle, MN) who was related
somehow to us, too. We lived in the Grey Eagle,
Minnesota area and many are buried there. I have some
info on my family tree on the internet and you can go
to: Harold Bisel and link to the web site. Very
interesting. Don't know the connection yet but will
keep digging. Harold Bisel

I am writing in the hope
you can aid, or direct me toward assistance with
genealogical research on Sarah Van Metre Wallace, b. Dec
1868 in the Dakota Territory. Sarah was my wife's gg-grandmother,
and (by family legend) was Oglala Sioux. Per the book:
The History
of Houston County Texas; (Armistead Albert
Aldrich,1943), Sarah was
born in Van Metre, to William Wallace and Nancy Bennett.
Any assistance you can lend is appreciated.

| WENDELBOE -
I am interested in the family of Russ (or
Rassmusen) Wendelboe and Amanda Jensen, in particular the parentage
of
Russ, who was
father to
Laurence Weldelboe b.21 June 1907 in Mitchell South Dakota, d.
1969
in Pascoe county, Florida. I
know Laurence was somehow related
to Peter
Christian Wendelboe b. 1849 in Silkeborg Denmark who married Hansine
Rebecca
Rasmussen, as there was contact with many of their family,
specifically son Michael Ostergard Wendelboe and Mary
Serena Lund who lived in Alberta Canada, and their son Ernest Wendelboe who lived in
Barons,
near
Lethbridge, Alberta Canada after leaving the
United States. I have
found Laurence's birth listed on the
South Dakota vital statistics site, along with the
Maurice Wendelboe + Marie Feton family,
but do not know how they were related.
