In 1888, Russell, Jr., only fifteen years of age, trailed to the Rosebud Reservation to work for his UncleBenjamin Turgeon. Mrs. Armine Turgeon was a sister to his deceased mother, Mary. Mr. and Mrs. BenjaminTurgeon had built their ranch on the south branch of the Whetstone Creek, the area to be later designatedTurgeon 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 atFall City, Nebraska, the county seat of Richardson County, twelve to fourteen miles west of Rulo. The youngcouple returned to Gregory County a year later, making their abode in his log cabin in Section 27, TurgeonTwp. in the Whetstone Valley. Matilda Dollie Sellars was born May 19, 1876 at Stephen Hill, Nebraska toJohn and Lurena (Green) Sellars. In Dollie's early childhood the family moved to Calloway, Nebraska. Shewas 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 thefirst schoolhouse in the valley prior to 1904. Marie Faust instructed the children as well as foreign speakingsettlers 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 hisown homestead. A cottonwood and oak house of dimension lumber with grooved siding was built. Hisbrother, Thomas, arrived to be employed by Uncle Benjamin Turgeon and George Pete. In 1904 ThomasDurfee took a patent to his claim. Lying between Russell and Thomas's land was the homestead of theiruncle, Lewis Durfee.Russell did his banking in Herrick, S. D. January 28, 1913 he withdrew $25 from the Bank of Herrick to payexpenses on his trip to Rulo, Nebraska, to visit his father, Russell R.

Russell and Dollie were not blessed with youngsters of their own. They raised four small boys assigned tothem from the Christian Home in Council Bluffs, Iowa; Harold Teel, Victor Cross, Fred Mowery, andLawrence 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 herlife to the care of others in sickness. She was a superb horsewoman, even in her late years she rode her horseto 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 raisedher little motherless or fatherless boys with all the care, love and devotion she would have tendered upon herown. 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 atWerner Wischmann's Ladies and Men's Wear Store, Burke. A very chic black hat with black veiling and a redrose 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 livedwith them two years before making his departure; Fred Mowery lived with mother and dad until his marriageto Lorene Roggow, in 1937 they moved to Oregon. Warren Sellars, a foster son and a relative, lived withthem in their advanced years. He was a willful boy. Dollie and Russell could not manage him; he was nothappy 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 hadsold 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.

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


To Adelle, being the sheriff's wife, fell the duty of cooking meals for the prisoners or whomsoever herhusband brought to their home to feed. From celebrities to rag-a-muffins, she fed them all, also caring for anyonewho came to their home needing assistance.

One day she had baked and enormous batch of yeast bread. She mixed and kneaded the bread, allowing thesponge to rise two times before shaping it into loaves in the bread pan. The bread, when risen again, was bakedin the oven of a large iron cook stove which required wood or coal to produce heat. The baked product was onthe table, cupboards, all over the kitchen so the invited a group of Indians into her home for lunch. They enjoyedthe freshly baked bread and ate heartily. When finished they proceeded to fill their lard pails with the remainingloaves of bread. Adelle did not know it was the custom of these Indians to eat to their satisfaction then take theleftover food home with them.

Adelle delivered many new babies into this country. Burke did have Dr. George Waterman, but only in veryserious cases was his service ever required. It was deemed unseemly by mothers to have a male doctor assist inthe 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. Shewas hospitalized in the recently remodelled Burke Hospital, the original courthouse. Dr. R. J. Quinn was thechief surgeon; Joan Flynn Dion was the head nurse. Adelle was patient and uncomplaining, lying in her bed innot 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 wereproud of it. Six months later Dick removed his mother to the Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton, S.D. She hadtried to live in her home, but she was unable to manage alone. She remained in the Yankton Hospital for theduration 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 andplants were covered with hoary frost, patterns of lace sprinkled with twinkling diamonds. A close relativedescribed her burial thus "Adelle was buried in diamonds and lace that cold, bright winter day." The Emery townproperty 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 birthrecord.

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

The 1900 Census lists her as Adell, mother of 9 children, 7 still living. Under the Special Inquiries Relatingto 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 wasnear the county line. He remained there until in the eighties and has numerous descendants living in GregoryCounty._______________________________________________________________

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 inlandtown site.

William J. Emery was born July 3, 1852 in Muskegan, Michigan to Henry R. H. and Susan A. Emery. Hewas thirty years of age when he journeyed with his parents in 1882 through Dakota Territory into the great SiouxRosebud 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 DayWilliam and Adelle, her sister Margaret and Abraham Turgeon were married in a double ceremony by the priestat Wheeler, S.D. William had met Adelle while he was living in Bon Homme County. Father DeSmet hadbaptized the Landeaux sisters at Fort Omaha, Nebraska.

William and Adelle Emery made their home at Wheeler, a pioneer settlement in what is now Charles MixCounty. 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 theyabided 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 theurge was born when he heard the tales of Johnny Appleseed, a native of England, who had planted apple seedsthroughout England and the United States.

As soon as the town site of Burke was established in 1904, William and Adelle disposed of their ranchholdings 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 heheld until his death. He constructed Burke's first livery stable service, "Emery and Sons", operated by Sam andDick Emery. William J. had been a scout in his younger years. With his horse and buggy he drove he drove land

8

seekers to the rural areas to size up their claims. Or if they preferred, they could rent a horse and buggy, drivingthe conveyance themselves. One of the first pool halls was built by the Emerys and managed by Sam Emery. Hisson-in-law, Morris Bossingham, married to his daughter Anna, operated Burke's first meat market. He raised thebeefs on his ranch north of Burke. He and his nephew, Abe Turgeon, built a hardware shop on Main Street. Theysold hardware, stoves, wash tubs and kitchenware to the public.

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 ranchwith his brother Dick (Henry). Later he journeyed to Mission, S.D. to make his home with his sister, AdeleBoyd. One evening he was walking out the Emery ranch near the Indian boarding school and was struck by ahit 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. Hewas mentally challenged, perhaps functioned at the age level of a six or seven year old. I would say he hadvery 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 accidentas a child. I remember being told that he had been castrated as a young man to assure that he would notmolest anyone or father any children. While he lived with my grandparents he was Grandpa's workhorse. Hewould do simple, repetitive chores - clean out the horse stalls, carry water, haul rocks, etc. He slept in thebunkhouse. He did get to eat with the family but then went to his bedroom. His clothes were clean (Grandmasaw to that) - bib overalls and a plaid, long sleeved flannel shirt, with a denim overal jacket in the winter.

11

Grandpa Emery screamed at him a lot and called him awful names. So did my dad. I suppose it was veryfrustrating - he was a grown man with a childs mind. I do think Grandpa loved him and felt a responsibilitytoward him but just did not know how to deal with him. Pat and I liked Joe a lot. He would play with us. Hewas a quiet person, maybe even shy but with a pleasant smile all the time. I do not remember Joe ever gettingmad or screaming and hollering back when people yelled at him. He just took it and moved on. AfterGrandpa Emery died, Joe was sent back to the reservation to live - I do not know where. I never saw himagain. We heard that he was walking along the highway and was hit and killed by a passing truck. His was asad, 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 FortChicago, Illinois. Here he labored as a blacksmith for about a year. He journeyed through the NorthwestTerritory into Dakota Territory coming to Fort Randall. He located in the Wheeler area across the river from FortRandall. He had contracted from the U.S. Government a managership of the freight lines from the Agency ofWhite Swan through Deadwood and on to Fort Laramie, Wyoming. He was responsible for nineteen freightwagons pulled by teams on oxen. Abraham sent word to his brothers in Canada to join him. Louis and Philliparrived 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 andBenjamin freighted to the gold mines in the Black Hills. A trip, if all went well, required about one month ofsteady driving in a wagon train. It was necessary to be alert for hostiles, therefore, one driver was a vigilanteduring 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 parentsof four children, Joseph, Alvina, Abraham, Jr. and Susan. Abraham, Sr. died in Wheeler, S.D. in 1890, when hisson, Abraham, Jr. was six years old.________________________________________________________________________

Abraham Turgeon was manager for the U.S. Freight run which operated from White Swan to Wheeler, andthence to Deadwood, and Fort Laramie, Wyoming. His brothers Ludger, Onesime, Louis, and Phillip weredrivers employed by him. First oxen and then mules were used to pull the heavy freight wagons. One or twodrivers would command fifteen to twenty-five wagons. Each wagon and team hitched to each team in one longstring. A run to Deadwood took three to four months.

Page 57Abraham 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 theBlack Hills. His brothers, Louis, Ludger, Onesime, and Phillip were his drivers. Freight drivers were the lifelineof these areas and a run took three months.

Page 448-449Abraham 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 hehired his brothers, Onesime, Louis, and Phillip to drive for him the ox drawn freighter wagons. So they came toDakota Territory from Canada.

Abraham Turgeon was born October 25, 1847 in Beaumont, Belle Chasse County, Canada.

freight wagons for him. He hauled goods of his own and sold in the Hills on his first freighting adventure. Therate of charge on transportation of goods was $6 per hundred pounds. At night the train was corralled andpicketed to guard against hostile Indians. Abraham and his brothers, Louis and Onesime worked together cuttingwood to supply Fort Randall. He took three claims on the Missouri River and engaged in livestock raising andagriculture.

Abraham Turgeon was married to Margaret Landeaux who was born September 12, 1858 in Rullo, Nebraskato Maurice and Margaret (Hart) Landeaux.

Their sisters Laida, Oralee, and Auror came to the United States with their brothers and latermarried: Laida to a Turgeon, Oralee, a Culet, and Auror a Labracque. Sometime later Abraham, Louis, andOnesemine 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.

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 inthe late 1800's taking a homestead in Charles Mix County; later land in the Whetstone valley east of the RussellDurfee spread. He built a log cabin on the first creek bottom, but situated it behind the hill protecting the cabinfrom the north wind. He was employed by Benjamin Turgeon for a time. Prior to the opening of the Rosebud, hewas employed by the government as a guide. His brother Ed, drove the chuck wagon for local roundups in thearea.

In October, 1892, he was married to Margaret Landeaux Turgeon, widow of Abraham B. Turgeon, mother offour small children. They located on her allotments in the northeastern portion of Herrick Township. Here, in

18

their home, took place the infamous, bloody dance of Chris Colombe fame. Chris had captured his love, EmmaSchunk, and ridden away with her after one of the bloodiest brawls in the history of Gregory County. George hadbeen knifed in the abdomen. Margaret had sewed him up and sat upon him, which might well have been thesaving 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 onthe 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 garageon the southeast corner of east main. He became the owner of the first automotive garage and acquired thedealership for Maxwell automobiles.

November 13, 1919, this energetic little man, George Pete, purchased a lot on the corner south of the newpost office building (later the Gehlsen building) then under construction. Here he erected a modern theatrebuilding 25 x 100 feet. The building was constructed especially for show purposes with and elevated floor and aspecial 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.

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


Oliver Dion, a scout and soldier, was born June 10, 1864 at Beaver Creek, S.D. on the Lone Tree Ranch toJohn Dion from Quebec, Canada and Sophia Bonveaux from the Rosebud. At the time of his birth the first treatyin the Rosebud was made with the Indians.

Oliver, when a small lad, travelled with his father, John Dion, into Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado andWyoming. He was at Beaver Creek at the time of the Custer massacre and saw the Indians bring in Custer'sequipment 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 asaloon in Deadwood, S.D. Fights and gun play were an everyday or night occurrence. Murders and robberies

21

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 inwith John Gordon's wagon train, bound for the Black Hills to mine for gold. The only woman in the expeditionwas Annie Donna Tallent, who followed her husband, Mr. Tallent, and 27 other men of the Gordon party on theirillegal journey into the Black Hills in the winter of 1874-75. They sought a fortune in gold. The party trailed upthe Niobrara River to elude the U.S. troops. A log fort was set up in the Black Hills which was referred to asGordon's Stockade. While in camp they were intercepted by two government scouts, John Duck and Indian andTowa a Negro, who were sent out from Fort Randall by Major J. I. McLaughlin. The group was arrested, theirsupplies were burned and the wagons confiscated. The Gordon Party was forced to walk the entire distance fromtheir 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 freightsupplies from Laramie, Wyoming to Deadwood, S.D. for the miners. It was at Buffalo Gap where a band onIndians stole the horses and mules from his thirty wagon train, leaving only one team. Oliver hauled the thirtywagons - 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 wasin Valentine the day the first train came through. The cowboys went wild shouting and shooting their guns. InWyoming he worked on the Barling Ranch, riding the range and searching for branded cattle. Casper, Wyomingwas 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 ingun range of a lone Indian. A bullet whizzed past their ears; they spurred their horses forward, looking back theysaw a lone Indian keeping vigil to avenge a relative's death. It was the custom of some Indian tribes that theeldest 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 RuloNebraska. About 1885 they trailed to the Rosebud Territory which was later to be opened up to settlers to beknown as Gregory County.

Oliver and Susan established residence in a log cabin on the upper Whetstone, 3 miles north of the site thatwas to become Burke, S.D. Their eldest son, John, was born in their log cabin March 20, 1885. They were tobecome the parents of six more sons, Paul, Emil, Will, Clem, George, Charles and Joe. Finally Susan was blessedwith 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 wayto their claims in the Lucas area, after the opening of Gregory County in 1904, would stop at the Dion ranch tocamp 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 secondbuilding south of Matson's Implement. Often times a dance was held there. Later it became Opencensky'sFurniture Mart, McHenry's Feed Store and Soper's Hatchery. Currently it is Soper's Antique Shop and livingquarters.

February 10, 1929 Oliver and Susan had been married 45 years and were the parents of ten children. Oliverwas still a scout, spending much of his time showing cattle and hog buyers about the country, in addition tooperating 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 militarycoat and hat, striding very erect up the street of Burke. Oliver died April 21, 1934 at seventy years of age, SusanLandeaux Dion lived to enjoy 105 summers, being Burke's eldest resident when she died November 28, 1969.She had lived fifty-four years in the Rosebud Country.

The children of Oliver and Susan Dion were: John (1885) married Amy Mullen, 3 children; Paul marriedSusan LaCroix, 5 children; Will (1913) married Lillie Mahrt, 4 children; Clem married "Caps" Petersen, 2children; Charles married Eva Raymond, 4 children; Joe married Zeta Foley, 2 daughters; Emil (1900) marriedRuth Jones, 4 sons; George married Joan Flynn, 2 children; Addie married Henry Wagner; and Ella marriedPatrick Copps, 4 children - 2 deceased. ______________________________________________________________________

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 beenconfined 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 theRosebud was opened to homesteaders and even before that he had freighted with oxen into the Black Hills when

22

the old was still at its best. It was during this time that the final uprisings of the Dakota Indians was in progressand 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 interpreterbetween 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 partin building a great state and it is with deepest regret that we extend sympathy to his family who are left to mournthe passing of their father and husband. ________________________________________________________________________

DAKOTA COWBOY AND RANGE RIDER REMEMBERS PIONEER DAY EVENTSOLIVER DION IS STILL ACTIVE ON ROSEBUD PLAINSBy 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 tothe Indian agency. And being in the vicinity at the time of Custer's massacre, he says that more blame was withthe whites than with the Indians.

The Indians, men, women and children, he say, were camped n the Big Horn valley, as were the soldiers, andeach camp had sent ou scouts. When Indian scouts returned to report, the tribe immediately packed to meet anattack. The soldiers were on territory rightfully belonging to the Indians. After the battle the Indians brought thesolders' 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 laterconducted a saloon in Deadwood. Brawls and shootings were common, and scarcely any notice was taken ofmurders and robberies.

Mr. Dion lived in Sioux Falls when that city consisted of a saloon, poolhall, restaurant and postoffice. Heremembers selling box elder tree seeds at 10 cents a quart. From Sioux Falls he went to Yankton, where he fell inwith John Gordon's wagon train, bound for the Black Hills to form a settlement. On account of Indian wars in theHills, white settlers were barred, hence the reason for Gordon's trail up the Niobrara river in Nebraska. It wasplanned to elude the troops until the Hills were reached, then mke their way over the line. When it arrived at thesite now known as Gordon, camp was established, to await a time to go on. While in camp they were interceptedby two government scouts from Fort Randall, John Duck, a full blooded Indian, and Towa, a negro. The partywas arrested by soldiers. All supplies were burned, mules and wagons taken, and the party was compelled to walkthe 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, whilecamped at Buffalo Gap, a band of Indians stole the horses and mules from the 30-wagon train, leaving only oneteam. 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 inValentine when the first train came through, to the accompaniment of shooting and yelling cowboys. InWyoming he worked on the Barling Spring ranch, riding the range and looking for branded cattle. Casper thenwas composed of three houses. Herding for the government, he delivered cattle to the Standing Rock, LowerBrule, 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 abullet sang past their ears, then another and another. They put spurs to their ponies and, looking back, saw a loneIndian keeping vigil to avenge a relative's death. It was a custom among some Indian tribes that when a deathoccurred in the family the eldest male went out and killed the first living thing that came in his range, man orbeast.

Mr. and Mrs. Dion have been married for 40 years and have 10 children. Mr. Dion is yet a scout and notonly knows every farmer, but also how much stock he owns and what he has for sale. He spends much of his timetaking cattle and hog buyers about the country.______________________________________________________________________

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, toCasare and Jane (Tracy) Turgeon. Casare Turgeon was of French descent and Jane Tracy had immigrated toCanada from London, England. They were the parents of six sons: Abraham, Louis, Phillip, Ludger, Onesenmeand Benjamin, and three daughters Laida (Turgeon), Oralee Culet and Auror Labracque. Benjamin was anintelligent, able, versatile and self-sufficient man. He had scarcely and eighth grade education but he was farahead 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 inCharles Mix County. Benjamin, the youngest of the family, accompanied his brothers Ludger and Onesenme whojoined their older brothers Abraham, Louis and Phillip. Abraham was the manager of the U. S. Governmentfreight 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 werepulled by slow, ponderous but hardy oxen.

Benjamin Turgeon met pretty young Armine at Rulo, Nebraska and they were wed in 1885. Armine was onlyfifteen years of age, the youngest of the Landeaux family and Benjamin, eighteen years old, was the youngest ofthe 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 hadpurchased the N 1/2 of Section 35, also land in Sections 23, 24, 25, and 26 from discouraged homesteaders whosold 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 thepresent home. Francis and Louise were born in this log cabin. When the new home was erected, the log cabinbecame a bunk house. The Whetstone Creek, on the western side of the cabin, ran north, wound to the west andturned south before straightening its course west. It was in this flat nest that Benjamin built his home and farm

27

buildings. Zachary Trahan from Canada, brother of Artemese Rang Desjarlais, lived with them, as well as othersenior men who helped Benjamin with his many projects. They were furnished room and board, clothing andHorse Shoe Tobacco.

Benjamin with the help of these hired hands, built his barns and corrals. The barn was a huge two storybuilding poured with a cement floor one foot in depth with a ladder to ascend the hay mow. With a capacity of 90to 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 corralfences and gates. A cattle shoot and weight scale was built northeast of the barn. A sling carried the load of hayinto the mow. Four saddles were hung on the walls. A workshop and bunkhouse was staged in the hay mow afterthe barn's completion.

Benjamin owned and raised over 1,000 head of cattle and many horses that grazed on the lush grass of thefenceless Whetstone hills and Sully Flats. Cowboys, and later Francis and Louise, herded the stock and specialcare was exercised during calving time. In the fall the cowboys gathered the cattle from the prairies and riverhills for a big round-up at the Turgeon ranch. Noah Williams, Frank Bishop, James and Henry Emery, Russelland Thomas Durfee, Jack Sully, the Hams, George Pete and many other ranchers drove their herds to the Turgeoncorrals to be branded, earmarked, castrated and sorted. The ear marks cut out of the ears of the calves were put inindividual piles for each rancher to count later. Louise kept the fire hot for the branding irons. Round-up timelasted many days until all was done and the herds moved out again to the ranges. Ed Pete drove the chuck wagonand 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 ofthe log cabin and south of the corrals. The house was built of large dimension cottonwood lumber, logs cut andsawed in the sawmill by Benjamin and his men. It was built upon a five foot mortar and rock foundation. Theexterior was then sheeted with brick embossed tin, and the windows were shuttered. The third story bedroom wasfor 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 largerbedroom 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. Benand Armine slept in one bedroom, Francis and hired man slept in the other room. An open stairway in the middleof the room led to the first floor; under the stairs was a large oak closet. A nine foot cedar post stanchionequipped with jack rested on the basement floor, convenient to shift the weight of the house occasionally. Acement bathroom under the porch was supplied with running water. A heavy oak door in the rear opened into thebasement. A Delco plant provided electricity to the house for lights and water. The children kept the wood boxfilled for the cookstove and wood or coal heaters. During the very cold nights the hired man kept all the stovesburning.

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 carpenterbee was held. It was much enlivened by a keg of beer bought to help celebrate the completion of the house. Itwas 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 - itrequired years to attain 25 feet. The tree still waves in the breeze, but the outhouse long ago was replaced bymodern plumbing.

A huge garden was planted in the valley east of the new house. It was cultivated by a horse-drawn cultivatorby 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 pulleda 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 cementtank surrounded by a cement platform. A water wheel to operate the Delco plant was located in the WhetstoneCreek below the artesian overflow. This did not generate sufficient power so a shed was built to house the Delcoplant, two water wheel and supply tank. Artesian water was piped to the house for bathing, but a cistern ofrainwater near the house was used for drinking, cooking and laundry. The soft water was piped to the kitchensink hand pump. Benjamin dug 10 - 15 artesian wells in the area, also digging a well for the St. Francis Churchand school at Mission, S.D.

Benjamin owned and raced blooded horses. One favorite, "Whiskey Pete", won many silver cups and silvertoothpicks as well as crystal ware, centerpieces and condiment sets. One crystal wine glass dated "WhetstoneJuly 24, 1899" was won by Whiskey Pete. Whiskey Pete was a long-legged bay with a white star marking hisforehead. He raced in Butte and Omaha, Nebraska and Sioux City, Iowa. Pacer horses were sold to the OmahaStockyards as "cutting out" horses. These fine horses were pictured on calendars and mailed to cattle buyers and

28

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 ironwelding 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 keepingtime, 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 clearedthe roads to accommodate all vehicles, including his new Franklin auto. He was also a Franklin auto dealer forinterested buyers in the area.

A super salesman convinced Benjamin to buy shares in an oil venture in Wichita Falls, Texas. Benjaminbecame wealthy when "black gold" shot skyward from his wells. He traveled to Texas several times a year tocheck his investments. On a return trip from Texas, the family stopped at Omaha. Louise purchased a $25 pair oftan, 18-button hightop shoes from the Brandeis Store. The clerks stared in amazement when she paid the shoeclerk 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. UncleWilliam Emery loved to spiel tall tales to the children especially about the large amount of money he had saltedaway 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 ranchand 1/2 interest in the cattle to Fred Harris, Benjamin's former hired hand. Later it was transferred to OttoNightingale. It again changed hands, becoming the property of a Texas cattle company, with foreman RobertTaylor.

The Turgeon home which had seen so much living was demolished. It was pushed into the basement,covered over and planted with grass. A new modern home was erected. The barn was considerably reduced insize. However, some of the original barn interior, stalls, mangers, corrals, scales and artesian well are still in use.

Benjamin and Armine Turgeon retired to Bonesteel, S.D. Benjamin Turgeon died July 12, 1926 and ArmineLandeaux Turgeon died March 24, 1940 at Bonesteel. They were the parents of four children: Agnes 1886-1897; Francis (1890) married Nettie Davis, children Dolor, Richard, Ray, Laura, Frances, Loretta, Donald andJerry; Louise (1893) married Henry Lunn, (dec.), children Helen, Marie, Dorothy and Henrietta; Julia (1896)married Richard Gravel, children Garneta, Rex and Janice. ____________________________________________________________________

Those men who helped make Gregory County the fine and rich land it is were honest, hard-working men whogave a dollar in labor for each dollar earned. Their work day was from sunup to sundown, not eight hours a dayor forty hours a week as today. Their pay was about thirty dollars per month, or more if they could qualify for thejob.

As to what a cowboy was made of; it was a Stetson hat, bibless trousers, and high heeled boots. A vest tocarry his Bull Durham, cigarette papers, and matches was a must. When and old time cowboy was asked whatBull Durham was made of, he replied, "Just what the name implies - bull ____ and a little tobacco." It made goodsmoking so they all carried a good supply.

Some or the cowboys wore chaps for protection while riding. Spurs were used by most cowboys, not toabuse the horse, but to help control it when roping or cutting cattle. A good saddle and ropes were required forranch work. No quarter horses were raised in the early days of 1890 or 1900, but the horses were well trained. Agood 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 ClaudeSully; Frank Dimond, Ole Dahl; Ore Unglaub, Joe Reynolds, Matt and Joe Crilly. Frank Kenzie was anoutstanding 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.

Page 148The 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. Theearly ranchers located their cattle and horse herds from the Buttes for the roundups held in Dixon and at the BenTurgeon ranch in what was later Turgeon Twp. in the Whetstone Valley. In many of these roundups were cattlenumbering in the 32,000's gathered together. Cows, bulls, heifers, steers and calves were picked out by theirrespective owners. They were roped and thrown by cowboys on their horses to be branded, de horned andearmarked. 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 nearPapineau Springs, slightly northeast of Papineau's Trading Post and Store, and County Seat office. Their firstchild, Louise was born to them November 21, 1863, followed in their time by John, Frank, Charles, Harriet andMargaret. Cuthbert employed a Negro mammy, Eliza, to assist Theresa with the housework and children. Whentheir children were older and some married, Theresa and Mammy Elisa raised her grandson, Walter GeorgeCummings. His mother, Margaret DuCharme Cummings died in 1891 when she was 24 years old. It was saidthat 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 thePapineau Schoolhouse. The Catholic children attended, also the St. Anne Mission on Campbell Creek the twoyears that it was open.

Cuthbert, with the help of his sons, farmed and raised cattle as well as operating the trading post, store andtavern. In 1855 Cuthbert sold his trading post to the Exons. His land became public domain when Wheeler wasmade the county seat. His land, which ranged up toward Geddes became the farms of many individuals. TheDucharme 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 PoncaCreek in Gregory County which was known as the Naper Trading Post near Milk's Camp. The family settled in a

52

log cabin combination living quarters and store. Their son, Frank Walter, worked in the store for his parents untilhe 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 57years old. At her death she weighed over 300 pounds. A casket was made especially to fit her body and washauled to the cemetery in a bobsled. Since there was no snow, it required several teams of horses to pull thecasket to Theresa Ducharme's last resting place. Cuthbert Ducharme's hard frontier life, and insane tempercoupled with his heavy consumption of whiskey, caused him a mental and physical breakdown. He was admittedto the Yankton Mental Hospital at Yankton, South Dakota on June 11, 1894 and lived there periodically until hisdeath, January 12, 1903. He was 76 years old.

His brother, Charles Ducharme, had founded the notorious "Primrose" or "Harney" on the Missouri River, byor across the river from Fort Whetstone and Agency.

Cuthbert and Theresa Ducharme were the parents of six children: Louise born November 21, 1863, marriedGeorge M. Cummings and they had four children; Walter, Henry, Agnes and Eleanor. John did not marry. FrankWalter (1870-1935) married Alvina Turgeon and they adopted a daughter, Viola. Alvina Turgeon was thedaughter 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, bornApril 7, 1869, died when she was 26 years old, 1907, in Wheeler, South Dakota. She was married to JamesMatthew 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 andthey 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 andTheresa Ducharme._____________________________________________________________________

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


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

53

community in the area was Milk Camp. Joseph was ten years of age when he was saddened by the demise of hisfather, Abraham. Two years later his mother was married to George A. Pete, who cared for her children as hisown and he fathered another brother and sister.

Joseph was sent to an Indian Mission School at St. Francis, Todd County, South Dakota where he attendedschool for several years. In 1899 he was married to Josephine Bement. Josephine was born July 1, 1880 inWaubun, Minnesota to Thomas and Mary Ann (Myrand) Bement. Thomas Bement (1849) from Syracuse, NewYork of Scotch-Irish parents was married to Mary Ann Myrand (1854 - 1942) of Belle Prairie, Minnesota; herfather was an early fur trader from Canada. In 1904 Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bement founded Waubun, Minnesotaof which he became Mayor and built their home these before the railroad came through. They erected the firsthotel, "The Bement", which he operated until his death in 1922; all in-coming mail for the first two years wasaddressed to Bement's Post Office until the official name of "Waubun" was given. They became the parents of 12children.

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 theMissouri River where he located a man and his boat. Entering the boat himself, Joseph led his horse into thewater. The beast thrust his breast against the stern of the boat and while swimming, pushed the boat to the eastshore. 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 mountedhis 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 asuperb horseman all his life.

Joseph Turgeon farmed, raised livestock and ranched until his death August 22, 1935. Josephine BementTurgeon 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.

At this time he established his home onhis farm southeast of Burke where the family has remained throughout the passing of 36 years. Mr. Turgeonestablished a fine home for his family here and as his children grew into maturity each sought their place in lifesuccessfully 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 ofValentine and 10 grand children besides a large host of friends.

He married MARIE ELIZABETHDOLEZAL1086,1087,1088,1089,1090 May 24, 1909 in Gregory, Gregory County, South Dakota1091,1092. She was bornAugust 14, 1887 in Bechyn, Renville County, Minnesota1093,1094,1095,1096,1097,1098, and died November 23, 1981 inBurke, 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,


Abraham B. Turgeon, Jr. was married by the priest from St. Francis Mission in Todd County, ot MarieDolezal, 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. Shepassed Teachers' Examinations at the Teacher's Institute at Fairfax, S.D. The following spring she was hired byMr. 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 becameaware of the sticking qualities of gumbo when the rain fell, as it did during the six weeks of teaching. She and hergirl friends attended a dance in Iona. The ribbons they tied in their hair and around their necks became so limpand wrinkled from the rain that the girls had to iron them out by running the ribbons around the warm chimney ofa kerosene lamp. The kerosene lamp also heated the curling iron for that extra hair curl. This was obtained bywinding 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 theschool by Mr. George W. Bottomstone.

Prior to Abraham, Jr. and Marie Dolezal's marriage, Abraham had started a Harness and Saddle Shop in alittle building north of Connell and Madole's which was later sold. After his marriage he and William Emery builta Hardware Shop on Main-featured was hardware, stoves, ranges, washtubs, dishware, cooking utensils, andcommon wares needed in a home. One useful article of those days, a covered pail with a bail, referred to as achamber commode, was purchased by a customer. However, she purchased the commode to mix and set herbread 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.

56

In 1915 the Turgeon family had been living on the Turgeon-Pete ranch southeast of Burke, S.D. That yearMarie believed was the worst year of her life. She had just given birth to a son, Herbert, February 18, 1915; thebaby was not too strong and she was not too well. To compound her worries Abraham, Jr. was ill and confined tohis bed, thus leaving her to do the farm chores. The 30 inch snowfall made it difficult to walk about. When thepigs wandered out of the pen, and the colt became caught under the manger, she saddled up her horse and rode tothe 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 ofBurke, then the thoroughfare of Highway 18. Abraham and Marie now had a young thriving family of ninechildren. 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 littlevillage 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 wereplayed 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 andIndian 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. Shelives with her daughter Betty Eastlund and family near Lucas, S.D. Betty lays claim to being the only personknown 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); herfather, 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 dressMrs. Adelle Emery was laid away in. The funeral was held on a December day. Everything was covered with ahoar frost, patterns of lace glittered like diamonds. During the ceremony the sun shone bright and clear; Marieremarked, "Adelle was buried in lace."

Marie worked at the hospital during the war to assist in the care of patients. However, she was soonpromoted 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 marriedto 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 IreneJohnson, children Dennis, Janice, Barbara and Deborah; Benedict (1922) married Berniece Herman, childrenThomas, 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.________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________

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 fromWisconsin, 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. Thesailor sleeping next to Henry was killed. The torpedo ripped a hole in the ship's hull large enough to drive a loadof hay through. The Navy ships often docked in yards in the New York harbor. One day Mrs. Kenaston, (wife ofDr. 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 Schemmerhomestead northeast of St. Charles where he batched and farmed his land. June 28, 1922 Henry C. Lunn andMary 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, andDorothy 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 ofHerrick 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 LloydHerrmann 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 horsethieves had driven the Lunn horses away. Samuel immediately got up and was pulling up his suspenders whenHenry 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 inthe cave. The children seized a goodly number of the delicious dainties and proceeded to the grove. Lying on theground, they strung the cookies on a low leaf-tree branch and munched happily away. Their enjoyment was shortlived 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 thehills to fight Custer, watered at Huston Springs which was east of the present day Bonesteel. The people askedthe Indians not to harm them. Sam's family and others had been sent to the Benjamin Turgeon ranch home forsafety. 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, SouthDakota. 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; threechildren - Mary Ann, Susan, and Jacob Steven. Henrietta (1933) married Walter Krier; six children - Alice, Jean,Daniel, James, John, and Teresa._______________________________________________________________

Two trucks and a complete compliment of men were required to bring the flames under control and confinethe 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 theTraverse City Senior High School, she was the cause of the fire. Before the family left that day Ileen had beensmoking on the couch and put the cigarette out in an ash tray on the arm of the couch. She believes that that wasthe cause of the fire.

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

Age: 88Home: Rural MissionBorn: July 24, 1914, at Burke, SDParents: Morris and Anna (Emery) BossinghamSiblings: 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. ininfancy); 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 bingoProfile: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. Thatyear, her father homesteaded in Todd County on the Schmidt place near Hidden Timber. Two years later, hermother 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 isstill known as the old Bossingham house, along the highway about six miles east of Mission.

104

Warm weather or cold, every school day Adell and her siblings walked two miles west to Haystack ButteSchool. 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 thefamily, 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 totell 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'sabout 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 atMcCarty 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 firstmet 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 anapartment 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 shevisited 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 andthe 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 thekids."

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 kidsfor you," Adell said.

Although the Boyds retired from the boarding school in 1973, Adell still hears from students they taught. "Ican't see now, but when someone come up to me and says, 'Hello, Mrs. Boyd,' I know I'm talking to one of mystudents," she said. Adell treasures those encounters with former students, many of whom claim her as Mom orGrandma.

"I taught them to love and respect. That's what we were taught. My mom and dad were really strict, but evenat the time they corrected us, I didn't feel resentment. Respect doesn't just come to children. They have to betaught. 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. Herspecialties were cinnamon rolls and pies, and fried chicken dinners on Sunday. "Lloyd and I would go to the firstmass and come home, and I would fry chicken. The rest of the family would go to the second mass, then comehome and eat," she reminisced.

After they retired, Lloyd and Adell moved to their own home west of Mission. Lloyd got sick and died in1985, and the following year, Adell moved in with her son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Barb. She spendswinters with her daughter, Carmen, in Mesa, AZ, and usually spends several weeks each summer visiting her threebrothers 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 findscomfort 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 foranybody she knows who is sick.

"I thank God for all my children and grandchildren," Adell said again. "They all come to visit me and takeme 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: 85Home: Interlochen, MIBorn: September 14, 1918, in Burke, SDParents: 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 LouSpouse: Hazel (DeMarsh) Bossingham, originally from White RiverChildren: Larry Bossingham, Las Vegas, NV, and Cheryl Lemcool, Kingsley, MI; four grandchildren, eight

great-grandsonsOccupation: Heavy equipment operator, head of maintenance at Interlochen Music Camp, Interlochen, MI

(retired in 1979)Hobbies/Interests: Hunting pheasants and deer, used to attend rodeosProfile: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, untilyears later when he was in the service. The spelling didn't matter much, though, because, from the time he wassmall, everybody called him Sonny. He had been called Sonny for so long, the people in Michigan with whom heworked 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

106

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 gunnysacks 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 bigwide beds in each room. Five girls slept in the room on the east side and six boys slept on the west side," Sonnyrecalled. 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 warmingovens and a warming reservoir on the side. They burned wood in the cookstove if they had it, but usually burnedcobs 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, theBossinghams kept the milk and butter in a deep pit near the windmill several yards south of the kitchen door. Arope 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," Sonnychuckled.

Sometimes the Bossingham family hosted dances in the house. "We didn't have a whole lot of furniture," hesaid. "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 theJack Jansen place) and had dances in the haymow with a Bohemian band playing polkas. "One guy got too far offto the side and stepped in the chute where they put feed. His girlfriend looked around and her partner haddisappeared," Sonny laughed.

"Most of the people around here made home brew. A few made whiskey, too. Go to the dances, andeveryone brought their home brew," he reminisced. Once in a while people would get into fights, but that usuallyhappened 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 endof Main Street. As a young boy of 10, Sonny and his older brother, Curtis, then in his late teens, butchered for themeat market. Later, his father sold half of the business to Glen Seadore who moved it to where the city office andclinic 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. TheBossinghams 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 meatmarket," said Dick Boyd, Sonny's nephew. "He was honest. He believed people paid if they could. If theycouldn't, he let it go. He said he might be in that condition sometime. He helped quite a few people who neededhelp." Sonny says the ledger book shows where his father paid taxes for people who couldn't pay, and sometimespaid 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 icehouse stood behind the meat market to the east. Frank Cordier had a truck and hauled ice from Antelope Creekwhere horses pulled a machine that cut grooves in the ice in squares. An ice saw finished the cutting. The blocksof 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. TheDetman and McKinney children rode horses, and sometimes, a family who had a car would pick up the otherstudents 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 boardedwith the Bossinghams for awhile before moving to a place closer to the school. There were usually 25 to 30students. A wood and coal furnace in the basement heated the building through a big register in the schoolroomfloor. On very cold days, the smaller children usually didn't come to school; the ones who did would pull theirdesks up around the register to keep warm. "We never did get snowed in at school, but there were a few days wedidn't go to school" because of the weather. Sonny reminisced. "In seventh and eighth grade, I went to schoolearly 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 thebutte. "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 thecorral when he came on a big pile of cow manure. He covered it with a hat and told Sonny and his other brothersand 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 wetraveled was by horseback, on foot or in a team and wagon."

107

People looked out for each other more back then, Sonny believes. "Back there in them days, if somethinghappened - people got sick and couldn't do their harvesting - neighbors would come and do it for them. If yourhouse 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."_________________________________________________________________

Notes for THEODORE PHILIP "TED" ROESSNER:From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by the Gregory Times-Advocate,


Theodore Philip (1907) was born in the one-room sod house on the old homestead. He attended elementaryschool at the Leonard School on a corner of his grandfather's homestead and received his high school education atLucas, S.D. He worked with his parents on the farm until he was old enough to go out on his own. Theodorewent into the trucking business and was the first trucker in Burke to use and automotive truck instead of theaccustomed dray wagon and dray horses. he left South Dakota in 1935 for the west coast where he drove a truckfor two years in Oregon. He tried his hand at placer mining in the little town of Jacksonville, Oregon. He thenworked in the timber east of Klammath Falls, on the Indian Reservation in the Sugar Pine. There he contractedbronchitis and had to leave Oregon to go to the south California desert. Theodore settled in El Monte, Calif. andwas employed by a rock and sand company. In 1941 he was drafted. He served 3 years in the service when hewas discharged because of cardiac failure from the Fletcher General Hospital in Cambridge, Ohio. After hisdischarge from the Army he went bakc to California and became a police officer in the Monterey Park CaliforniaPolice Dept. He could not stand the pressure of that job, so he went into business for himself. He sold plumbingand sewer pipes and added the extra service of delivery. He was in the business for 23 years. In 1968 he sold hisbusiness and retired.

In 1943 he was married at Dakota City, Neb. to Hazel Jo Ford of Odessa, Texas. They have one son, JamesLindsey and a daughter, Linda Gair. Ted says his wife, Hazel, is a third cousin to Davy Crockett, one of thedefenders of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, where he fought and was killed.

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 fatherclung 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 Chicagosuburb of Blue Island, Illinois. This couple was returning to Iowa so Paul and Alvina took this opportunity toleave the farm and went to Blue Island and began working for the doctor's family. Their son began third gradethere so this occurred in 1942 or 1943. They had quarters in the doctor's home. They found the city unsuitable torearing their child so, in fourth grade he was sent to Burke, South Dakota to live with his mother's mother (MaryDolezal-Turgeon) and her children.

By about 1949 they relocated again. This time to a ranch in the south central area of South Dakota on theRosebud 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 inthat area. They built a comfortable home with outbuildings, well, water storage, etc. and ranched in this locationfor a few years.

Finally, Paul moved his wife to Cedaredge, a small town on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains inDelta 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. Hisdeath was from heart problems.

I, Gertrude Jandreau, was born May 4, 1893, near Dunlap, Iowa. My mother was born in WashingtonCounty, Texas in 1848. My father was born at Ft. Thompson in a tent in 1849. We moved to South Dakota whenI 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 buriedin Presho.

I was married in Douglas County in 1903 to Lawrence Jandreau, and he passed away in 1958. He is alsoburied in Presho.

We came to Lyman County in 1915 and to Lower Brule. I worked at the Indian boarding school until itclosed.

Lawrence worked for the government taking care of tribal cattle, he later worked for the government onpredatory pest control from 1924 to 1929, with poison, traps, and rifle. The prairie dog extermination receivedconsiderable attention. He never did bag a gray wolf. Our allotments were both in Charles Mix County. He waswell acquainted with the Sully and Drapeau families.

Our neighbors at Cedar Creek were Amaniel Mortenson, Joe TwoHawks, Big Heart, Driving Hawk, Eagle Star, Good Face, P. L. LaRoche, Fallis, Smalls, Long Fox and HighElks. We later moved west of Lower Brule and then moved to Lower Brule and I make my home with mygranddaughter, 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 communitycenter so he could begin remodeling the building that was used as an elderly nutrition site and othercommunity services into the Golden Buffalo Casino, the elders dug in. They circulated a petition to gathersignatures protesting the tribal council's action and organized a vigil to occupy the building twenty-four hoursa day to keep the construction crews from entering. Their plan was disrupted on December 13 when thecommunity center was surrounded by tribal police in the early hours of the morning. The police hooked achain to one of their cars, pulled the locked door off and arrested six elders and several other tribal membersfor 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 alsoprotesting the impact that a casino selling liquor that operated 24 hours would have on the reservation. Boththe 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 notpresent and the charges were dropped. Ellen Wright, one of the elders who was arrested, lost her job as thenutrition director for the tribe. Meanwhile, the community center was surrounded by BIA police asconstruction crews remodeled the building. The Golden Buffalo Casino, complete with more than 100 slotmachines, and blackjack and poker tables, opened its doors on February 29. Orville "Red" Langdeau, amember of the Lower Brule tribal council, said the casino would provide more than 100 jobs to an area withpainfully 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 isjust 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 isopposed to the casino. He is also concerned that they used the symbol of the buffalo, a sacred animal inLakota spirituality, as a name for the casino. "This casino is against our spiritual ways. We will continue tofight," Grassrope said. "We keep praying. Through ceremony, spirit told us something will happen to thesepeople. 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 theinterest of the BIA or financial speculators is not the same interest as for the Indian people. According toTwo Crows, what happened in Lower Brule is a prime example of why the Lakota Nation separated from theUnited States Government last July.

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 creatinga shared vision for the future of the Wakpa Sica Reconciliation Place.

President of the Wakpa Sica Historical Society Clarence Mortensen, right, discussed with fellow boardmember and Lower Brule Tribal Chief Michael Jandreau, in striped shirt at left, the proposed facility for theWakpa Sica Reconciliation Place. Following more than six hours of discussion on Saturday, many who attendedthe 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 creatinga shared vision for the future of the Wakpa Sica Reconciliation Place. "The potential for this is limited by onlyour imagination," said Michael Swallow, tribal attorney for the Standing Rock Reservation and chief justice forthe Oglala Sioux Tribe.

The Wakpa Sica Reconciliation Place was authorized by Public Law 106-568 in December, but Congress hasnot yet appropriated the $18.3 million grant authorized by the law. When the project receives funding, a facilitywill be built on U. S. Highway 1806 near the Fort Pierre Chouteau site. Gov. George Mickelson was credited atSaturday's meeting with inspiring the project. While governor, Mickelson called for a Year of Reconciliation andlater for a Century of Reconciliation "because he realized the enormity of the task," according to ClarenceMortenson, 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 forthe interpretation of the encounters between Lewis and Clark and the Sioux Nation; and to enhance the knowledgeand 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 auniform system of laws among tribes is the reason for this, Mortenson said. Discussion at Saturday's conferencesuggested several factors for the inconsistencies. In part, problems exist because tribal courts were created in the1970s. "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 andWestern methods for conflict resolution. Not all of those present expressed a belief that the Western system ofjustice is best.

"You go into a court - one comes out smiling and one comes out angry. That's not justice," said Bryce In TheWoods from Cheyenne River.

Tom Van Norman, attorney for the Cheyenne River tribe, said that traditional ways and the wisdom of theelders must be used in developing a uniform judicial system. He said at Cheyenne River traditional peace-making

180

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 anotherabout their ages. Those who sit on the Wakpa Sica Historical Society board expressed their vision early in theday.

"We are a nation," said elder and board member Webster Two Hawk. "Each one is a band of that greatSioux 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 ofthem. Michael B. Jandreau is the chairman of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He is a successful rancher on thereservation. He also serves on the tribal council. He began in 1972 as vice-chairman. He has been tribalchairman for twenty-one years. He started many of the tribe's projects. Today the tribe's farm corporation is thenumber one grower of popcorn in the world. It also grows navy beans. Jandreau also guides other programs forthe 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 themiddle of a sprawling cornfield wearing an optimistic grin.

Winter appears officially over, and farmers here soon will begin planting crops on the thousands of acresowned by the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. Jandreau, the tribe's long-time chairman, views the operation as thebackbone 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. Thatfigure now tops 6,000, Jandreau says, and despite lean times, such as the 2002 drought, he counts about $13million 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 thestate that rivals Lower Brule's. He says the farm is part of an overall effort to leverage the tribe's sovereign andbeef 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 forthe 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 moretribal members and, equally important, the profitable operation generates money for the tribe to create other jobsand 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 tribalheadquarters. Those alone have created about 100 jobs, and in a rural area with a work force of about 600, thedifference is glaringly obvious.

Outside of town, the tribe has invested in an expansive hunting operation for tourists. As many as 1,000hunters 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 wildlifebiologist.

To be sure, by state or national standards, the economy here remains mired in endless recession. Largepockets of blight can be found throughout the reservation. The crime rate is twice as high as that of the statewideaverage.

The unemployment rate is a wildly moving target, but local estimates have ranged from 25 percent to 40percent 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 becausethe 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 betterthat 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 Isee it, because we have jobs out here."

The 2000 census showed that median household income in Lyman County, which includes most of the LowerBrule 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,

181

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 thereapproaches 80 percent.

Such downtrodden conditions also can be found in Shannon, Ziebach and Todd counties. All include Siouxreservations 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 theSioux 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 fromwithin before they'll have the kind of social and financial clout needed to get Congress to take their claimsseriously.

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 itdifficult 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 the1990s, for instance, the tribe received 600 acres of land from the U.S. Corps of Engineers and about $27 millionsas 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 togenerate 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 past24, 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 timenegotiating 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 BigBend Dam was built. In the '90s, they put the more than $39 million into a trust and use the interest money itgenerates for community services.

Namely, within the past two years, they've spent $11.7 million to build a new community center - completewith a pool, fitness center and gym - and a new 58,000-square-foot tribal headquarters that sits atop a hill andoverlooks 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, atribal 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 wouldhave been awful hard to make those decisions if everybody was new every two years and we had this hugelearning 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 ofLower 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

182

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 aconcensus 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 weshould. We were elected to do that."

That has spawned concerns of mismanaged money under Jandreau's watch, and it also made it difficult forcouncil members to know whether the tribe can afford to continue expanding business ventures of if it shouldmake cuts.

"We are ahead of everybody else," in terms of economic development on reservations in the state, "butthere's still a lot of internal conflict here," says Benjamin Thompson, a tribal council member. "We have ourshare 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-sectormanagement 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 tothe 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. "Toughdecisions 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 andadjusts 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 hardwork, 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."
