| ANDERSON Civil War Veteran- I'm trying to track down the grave site of James W. Anderson, Co. E, 113th IL Vol. Infantry. His pension index card lists his passing on 02 Dec 1915 at Iona, Lyman County. I figur he is buried at Iona Cemetery, and was seeking some confirmation on the Lyman Co. GENWEB site. There are three entries of interest: "Uncle" Jimmie W. Anderson - died, 09 Dec 1915; "Uncle" Jimmie W. Anderson - cemetery pl. What is "pl"? The third entry was James W Anderson - cemetery Iona; I wonder if James and Uncle Jimmie are the same. I'd be grateful for any assistance you can provide. Regards, Stephen Baker [email protected] Mar 03 2010 |
| ANKUM, GERMANY - I'm working on my ancestors who have lived/do live in Ankum, Germany. Do you know where I can get a copy of the St Nicholas BDM records? Thanks, Kris Melchert [email protected] Feb 10, 2009 |

BARTHOLOW,
CHASE, EASTLY, SOMERS, TILLOTSON
- I
contacted you quite awhile ago
about copies of obituaries but I
didn't get back to you. I
noticed you have access
to
family histories in the Lyman
County History Book. Especially
interested in the TILLOTSON
family, since that is where the
other families descend from.
Thanking you in advance, Susan Audy White River Jct., VT 80[email protected] Jan 19, 2009 |

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

| BRICKMAN - When I started doing the Brickman family history the only information that I found about the babies came from Paul Olson, the caretaker of the Presho city cemetery. He was such a great help, he went out of his way to help us. The only thing that he had in his records was: 1 child d.April 17, 1909, age 2 years, 1 child d. April 7, 1908, age 8 months. Later you sent an obit to me that said, Brakeman's baby April 4, 1909. John Brakeman's (Brickman) eight month old baby boy died Monday after a short illness. The parents live eight miles southwest (Hilmoe). Lyman County settler April 17, 1909.I found out later one baby was named Theodore and one Robert. Both dates on the stone are the death dates. Was there an outbreak of some disease at that time ? I never did find exact birth dates for the children. Hope this clears up the confusion on the dates. The picture of the headstone on the internet is very nice. Carmen Lamb [email protected] 10 Feb 2008 |

information on Robert
Edward Clevidence, who listed his birthplace as
Lyman County, (Oacoma)

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

COOPER/HUMPHREYS -
Barbara,
This site is fantastic! I have never come across more
information on any other site! You have done an
outstanding job. I have found information I was
looking for on the J.B. or John Robert Cooper family,
however I do need more information. I am helping a man confirm a burial location for
a J.B. or John Robert Cooper in Iowa. I am from Osceola
Co. Iowa and it has recently been thought that this man
was in this area and died here. Possibly buried in a
country cemetery in an unmarked grave. This man was a
soldier in the Battle of the Little Big Horn in Custer's
Last Stand. From your website I believe I have found
that his wife is Rachel Anne Humphreys, daughter of
Fernando Cortez Humphreys who also resided in your area.
The Cooper's had a daughter Flossefa Cooper. I found on
your site that she married a Wm. Robertson. I believe
John & Rachel had a son also but don't know his name.
Thanks for your time,
Dianne Raveling, Sibley, IA
March 2009 The information I have is such: 1.) Oct. 1, 1903-Sibley Gazette-Harris News- Mr. Cooper, who was taken sick while here, passed away Thursday night (Sept. 24) The remains were laid to rest in the Fairview cemetery Saturday. His wife and children arrived here from their home in Dakota, Saturday morning, to pay tributes to their departed dead. 2,) Oct. 8, 1903-Osceola Co. Tribune-Harris News- Mrs. J.B. Cooper and children and her brother-in-law, Mr. G.W. Caldwell, arrived from Spencer, SD last Saturday morning, being called here by the death of Mrs. Cooper’s husband. Mr. Caldwell is a brother of Mrs. Stratton. 3.) October 1, 1903-Osceola Co. Tribune-Harris News-Robert Cooper of Lake Park came over Saturday and walked out to the Wm Johnson place. On returning he became suddenly ill in the Blue Front Restaurant. His illness was caused by being overheated, and having had a sunstroke before he was easily effected. Dr. Cady was called and Mr. Cooper on reviving was taken to the hotel where he is at present. His father-in-law of Chamberlin, South Dakota arrived Tuesday and is taking care of him. His wife and children who are in South Dakota on a homestead which he had recently taken and where he was to join them in a short time have been sent for. There is little hope for his recovery. Barbara, You may remember that I emailed you this past spring in regard to your Lyman Co. Website, which again is just fantastic! Your friend Marlys contacted me and she was so kind to go to the library to look for information for me. However she did not come up with anything. I am wondering how you can help me. Is there a way I can actually read these old newspapers on the internet? How can I read it? Referred her to Mark Aug 6 2009 Check Family histories section, too - barbara |
| COULL/WOODWARD/MCWHIRTER - My husband found the online history of Vivian this evening and I was certainly please to see it. My parents both grew up in Vivian and I spent much time there visiting my grandparents, Lloyd and Addie Coull. My mother's parents were L.C. Woodward (of the snake story) and Edna Jean McWhirter. The McWhirters came around 1906 and homesteaded north of town. (my Mom died a year ago and would have gotten a chuckle out of the snake story). My dad's family didn't come until later, but Grandpa Coull had a barbershop in town. Mom and Dad both graduated from Vivian High School and loved going the school reunions. My brother Dennis worked a couple of summers at Dad's uncle Harold Smith's farm when he was around 14-15. Anyway, we have fond memories of Vivian. In any of your research of Vivian, so you recall a picture of the barbershop which was on Main Street? The building is long gone, of course, and nobody seems to have a picture of it. Dad Clayton Coull died in 2006 and Mom in 2008. They loved telling stories of their years growing up there. I had gone through the microfilm of the Vivian Wave a few years ago, and found it quite fascinating. Thanks for your having this online.

| DARLING/HULCE - I just read the History of Vivian on the rootsweb site (FYI, the link to it from this page is broken), and saw a couple names of people I may be related to (my father, William Darling, was born in Vivian in 1935). My grandmother’s maiden name was Mabel Hulce, I saw that the article was contributed by a Sylvia Hulce, now of Arizona . Do you by chance have an email address for Sylvia? I don’t know when the article was written, so I don’t know if Sylvia is a contemporary or an ancestor. Thank you for any information you can provide. Gary Darling [email protected] Feb 16, 2010 |
| DUGGINS/HARRINGTON - Any chances of finding more information about 1.) Harrington, Rachel m/1858 Jessie Duggins and 2.) Harrington, Josephus hus of Catherine? I'm a descendant of a Jessie Duggins who m. a Rachel Harris, they had a son "Josephus." Lived in NE Iowa. Wondering if there is any connection here as Jessie Duggins is not that common of a name. Thanks. Karen Engstrom [email protected] Dec 6, 2008 |
| EASTLING/ STANTON - I'm researching my kin, Elizabeth Eastling, nee Stanton who reportedly died in Bryant, Hamlin co. S.D. in April of 1900. I see there is reference to an Eliz. Eastling in the Oacama History Book and am wondering what that has to say. Appreciate any info, Thank you! Melodie Glenn, Eau Claire, WI. Melodie Kuby [email protected] March 31, 2008 |

| FENENGA - In the 1920 Census of Iona Lyman South Dakota Teen and Birdella Fenenga were listed. There was a James S. Smith father-in-law living with them. He was born about 1837 in PA. He said his father was born in England and his Mother in PA. My GGGrandfather was John Smith born in England. On the internet I found that a James Smith was born in Mercer Co PA in 1837 to Eliza Jane Clark and ??? Smith. Do you know if James S. Smith had a will or death certificate. I would like to find out who his father was. The Smith family arrived in Mercer Co PA about 1830-1831. If you charge for a death certificate and the cost, please let me know. Any information would be helpful including the name of Birdella’s mother. Thank you. Dorothea Silbert <[email protected]> December 17, 2010 |

| GREENE - Looking for anything on Henry and Florence Greene family who live in Oacoma ca 1905-1910. [email protected] 16 Feb 2010 |
| GREFF - Barbara, I believe I am the one that provided you with the burial permits that are shown on the following link. I heard recently from my mother (the granddaughter of Ida Greff) that she had heard back in the 1970s that the reason no graves can be found is that a road now runs over the plots. Is that possible? She would have heard this from her mother who visited Chamberlain in 1972 (after having left in 1908) --- and her mother would have remembered the general location of the grave. Also, do the burial permits that I provided to you look like others that you have seen for River View?

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

JANDREAU -
I was born by the assistance of Ida Mallet, date April
11th, 1950, I do not have a
birth certificate
for whatever happened at the time. I received my draft
notice from Lyman county, but because I had no birth
certificate I was not recognized as a veteran from Lyman
county. My parents were Lawrence Harold Jandreau and
Alice LaRoche, I guess I was born during a storm
somewhere between Presho and Cedar Creek (Bad Heart
Allotment). My grandmother raised me and her name was
Gertrude (St. Pierre) Jandreau, my grandfathers name was
Lawrence Jandreau Sr. Looking for help to get my birth
certificate established, would appreciate any assistance
you
could provide. Thank You Respectfully, Wm S.

| LYON - My grandfather, Clyde Mortimer Lyon, and his wife Janette Olive Evans, married in 1905 in Lakota, N.D. They were from Williamsburg, Iowa originally. After the birth of my mother, Myrna Lyon Ferris in 1906, they moved to McClure Township, 108 N R 78W, Sec. 19 where they proved up 160 acres as a homestead. When they were packed and ready to head out to N.D. from Iowa, to my grandmother's surprise, they were joined by another wagon containing her in-laws the Mortimer W. Lyons along with Clyde's sister Vivian. I have a picture of them outside the tar paper house they lived in there in S.D. all packed up to make their return trip back to Iowa. I would like to know how long they kept the land and when it was sold. I was surprised that they still were listed as owners in 1911. Sandra Allen [email protected] Feb 6, 2009 |

Maurice Menard dit Lafontaine Good afternoon – I hope this email reaches you as you seem to have amassed quite a bit of information regarding the Menard/Mesnard family history. I am researching my husband’s ancestral line and have connected him to Maurice Menard dit Lafontaine and Madeleine Couc dit Lafleur. In one of the many things I have come across, it states in a record of his death that he was “sergent a demi-solde pour le Roi”, which literally seems to translate to mean ‘being a sergeant at half pay for the King’. Was this a type of pension for services rendered? I know he was a voyageur and interpreter but can’t connect him to the sergeant part. Also I read somewhere that he ‘petitioned’ to have Madeleine granted the right to be at Fort Michilimackinac ’. Why would he need permission – because she was of mixed blood? And would that be permission from the Governor, the Jesuits, the colonists? Any information you have that would clarify those areas would be appreciated. Sincerely, Willi Johnston [email protected] April 7, 2009 |
| MELLEGARD - Hi, Just wondering if you have any class pics of my dad or aunt. Harlan mellegard Sr. born in 1917 and his sister Eileen Mellegard. Don't have her date of birth or grad date but should be around 1930-1933. Thanks, Harlan Mellegard Jr. [email protected] |
| MENARD - Hello! My grandfather's name is Normand Menard (Worcestor, MA) and he just recently gave me some info on our history and it's a little rough in terms of all the details it seems to match up extremely well to the info on this page (http://sdgenweb.com/lyman/Families/mesnard.htm). I'm so interested to learn more about the native American heritage and what tribe exactly Miteouamigoukue is from. I know it says Algonquin, but i have heard that it spread far and that many different tribes spoke it. Maurice Menard and Madeline Couc LaFleur's son Antoine Menard belongs to our tree. I can't wait to tell my grandfather - this is a lot of info! Thank You, Julie Julie Andersen <[email protected]> p.s. - can you please email me @ [email protected], it goes right to my phone and is easier to obtain, thanks! August 7, 2009 |
| MENARD/MESNARD - Just found your Lyman County, SD site, Menard/Mesnard, and spotted familiar names, especially the eighth generation.

| MOELLER/DERRICKS/DIERCKS - I've just begun to trace our Moeller family tree. Karl Moeller (I have no date of birth or place and might have died in British Columbia) m. a woman named Wilhelmine PIESELMANN (died in the 1930's in Leduc County). They left Oacoma in 1902 and came to Alberta Canada. They may have come by horse and wagon as I am told they brought cattle with them. They had seven children: Mary married a BITTNER; Rose m. DERRICKS; Emma m. MORTON; Annie m. ZIELSKE; Fred, John and Karl (aka Charlie) Friedrec Wilhelm Moeller, b.1880 and d. July 19, 1941, m. Ameilia WERNER, b. Jan 25, 1903, d. 1960. I have found two land purchases in Oacoma back in the 1900's. I have been told there is a Moeller Cemetery at Oacoma and Derricks are also buried there. Not sure if they traveled together, but one of the Moeller daughters married a Derrick up here. Can you give me any help or ideas? Thank you, Darcie-Anna Moeller [email protected] 03 Jan. 2008 |

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

| MORRIS - My great-grandfather's name was Thomas C. Morris and he was Lyman County Sheriff from 1925-1927. He was married to Francis Call ( her full name was Calletski or Calletsky ??) Children: Bernard, Frances, Margaret, Regina, and Veronica ( my grandmother), b. Dec. 8, 1908, in Presho. The family moved to Kennebec S.D. and that is where my grandmother, Veronica, graduated from Kennebec High School. Questions: 1. Were Thos and Francis married in Lyman County, or in S. Dakota for that matter. ( She came from Chicago). 2. Where are they buried? Their ch. buried? (My grandmother and Francis died in California.) 3. Are there any family photos of Thomas in his Sheriff uniform? 4. I know Bernard committed a crime (something to do with a love triangle). Is there anything about this? 5. Margaret died at a young age due to T.B. Where is she buried? 6. What about Regina? Did she marry? Did she have children?? Thank you. I am grateful for your efforts.

| PEYTON - My grandparents were Henry L. Peyton and Adeline (Addie) Thom Peyton, who moved from Iowa to a farm in Lyman Co. about 1908. At this time they had a son, Frederick William and a daughter, Ethel Maude. Ethel's twin, Esther Mae died in Iowa at seven months of age. They had a stillborn son in 1908 and he is buried in the Kennebec, Lyman Co., SD cemetery. I believe they named him Leonard Leroy. Henry was known as "Hank" and had a brother living in Kennebec, named Charlie, and I believe a married sister, who's husband ran a store. I think the surname was Meckling, perhaps Ira? Another son, Robert Henry, was b. February 20, 1915.(This was my father.) When he was about five years old the Peyton's moved into the town of Kennebec. My father, known as Bob, or "Baldy" Peyton, was a barber in Presho for over 40 years, until his death in 1976. He is bur. in the Kennebec cemetery along with his father, mother, baby brother, younger son, Robert Leroy, who died in 1943 at age of 4 years. I would like to hear from anyone in the area who may remember the Peyton families. Contact: [email protected] or 104 Pembury Way, Folsom, CA 95630-8675 916-983-2245 LaVonne (Peyton) Schaffer-Rennie |

| SERR - I am the great-grandson of Emil Bernard Serr and Sadie Eldora Grabinski, who lived in Kennebec, SD for many years. I have been working on family history, and wanted to inquire about the possibility of having someone assist me with photographs of my great-grandfather's gravesite and headstone, as well as an infant son's gravesite and headstone (if any). He is buried in Kennebec Cemetery, Block 15, Lot 1, Grave 1. His infant son, is buried in Block 15, Lot 1, Grave 5. They attended the Methodist Church, which was located behind their home. I am curious to know if that church has birth and/or death records for the infant son who passed away. We have no record of a name or date of birth, but know he was born and buried in Kennebec sometime between 1922 and 1927. Help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

| STRAUSS - My name is Marie and I have been researching the Strauss family from Iowa to S.D. and back to Iowa. On your web for the deaths in Lyman County you have listed a John W. Strauss date of death 11/27/1943. I requested a copy of his death certificate from vital records in Pierre. They claim not to have a death certificate or any record of his death. I know he lived in S.D. as he and some of his sibling owned land in Lyman County during 1911, I have the deeds and land plots. Is there any other information you can suggest? I would really like any information on the Strauss family. On the land deeds and plots John is listed as J. William Strauss. Could his death certificate be under that name? The family also had land in Custer, it was Medicine Man Ranch which the Boys Scouts now own, so I know there is some history I am just at a wall. Anything will be helpful at this point. Thank you for your time, Marie Strauss [email protected] February 28, 2009 |

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