McGuigan Ranch ---I’m sending this photograph in the
event someone may recognize it. It is my
great-grand-parents' ranch somewhere outside
Kennebec
ca 1907. They were Francis "Frank" and Celilna (Robillard)
McGuigan. They lived in Lyman County from about 1903 to
1909. They came from Vermillion. After living in
Lyman County, moved to Lawrence County to Spearfish and
began a ranch there. The inscription on the back of the
picture reads; “McGuigan Dam and doggies.” The upper right
hand corner shows some buildings which may have been their
home. I have not been able to find any
land records as to where the ranch may have been
located. I would appreciate any information or suggestions.
