Notes for HENRY R. H. EMERY:

From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory,
South Dakota, page 159-160.
Henry R. H. (1816-1894) immigrated from Woods Ends Farm, Straffordshire, England and settled in New
Jersey. Here he met Susan A. (1829-1897) and they were married February 12, 1849. Henry R. H. and Susan
Emery moved to Muskegan, Michigan and here 5 more children were born to them, Robert H. being the 7th child.
In 1882 the Emery family moved to the Rosebud country, Dakota Territory. Henry R. H. Emery set up
headquarters in the southern part of Section 31, named Emery Township. The home was located on the south
bank of the south fork of Whetstone Creek, Miyogli Wakpala. This is Indian for Whetstone Creek. The Emery
Cemetery was established to the northwest of the section. Northwest of the Emery land was built the Emery
school in Emery District. Henry R. H. Emery had built his own American domain; home, cemetery, and school,
with his cattle roaming Emery Township.
Henry R. H. Emery was born March 22, 1816 on Woods End Farm in Straffordshire, England. He was a
young man when he immigrated to the United States in a sail boat, settling in Newton, New Jersey. There he met
his wife, Susan, who was born December 23, 1829 in Newton, New Jersey. They were married February 12,
1849 and journeyed to Muskegan, Michigan to make their residence. Five children were born to them there:
William, Harriet, George W., James H. and Martha L.
The family departed from Michigan in 1859 seeking adventure in the new Dakota Territory. In 1860 they
secured a homestead in Bon Homme County. In 1862 they were issued a deed to the property (the homestead is
now underwater). Holbert, Robert H., Henrietta, Alice and Henry came to join their five sisters and brothers,
increasing the family to ten children.
In the 1882, preceding the pioneers to the new frontier, they followed the wagon trails to the Rosebud
Country, then the Sioux Indian Reservation. Henry and Susan chose their headquarters in Section 31, Emery
Township, which later became Lucas Township: The Emery ranch was situated in the lower southwest portion of
the section, beside the south bank of the south fork on the Whetstone Creek, or Miyogli Wakpala in Indian, on the
Sully Flats. Diagonally in the very northwest corner of the section lies the Emery Cemetery. Five graves,
possibly seven, are to be observed currently in this burial plot: the patriarch himself - Henry R. H. Emery; mother
Susan A., wife of Henry; their grandson, Amos A. - January 17, 1895-March 25, 1895, son of William and Addie
Emery; Cecil Blanche Durfee, 1870-1898, daughter of Uriah T. and Belle G. Duncan; Maurice A. November 19,
1901-January 6, 1902, son of George and Maggie Pete.
The Emery school was established for the children in the very northeast corner of the Emery land, later
known as the Frank A. Servine quarter, in the Emery Township. Church was held in the homes by a traveling
priest or later the priest from the St. Francis Mission in Todd County.
Neighbors to the young adventurous Emerys were the Dimonds, Dions, Reynolds, Sullys and Turgeons, who
had also ventured early to this last great frontier. Here they established homes, schools, and cemeteries. They
grazed their cattle and horses on the rolling prairies of the Sully Flats, with an abundant water supply in the
Whetstone Creek and the Missouri River, they had chosen wisely and well.
Henry R. H. Emery had been an ambitious farsighted Englishman. He had set up his headquarters to known
as the Emery ranch; a school for his children to be referred to as the Emery School, and the Emery Cemetery in
Emery Township. The Emery Domain, from the old country to the new country, was now well established with
descendants to carry on. Henry enjoyed his sovereignty for twelve short years. September 11, 1894 he was dead.
The head of this family had every right to christen the Emery Cemetery. Three years later his wife, Susan A. died
May 5, 1897, to be buried on a gentle slope of a hill facing the setting sun, across the Miyogli Wakpala beside her
husband. Their children were not buried in the Emery Cemetery at their deaths.
Henry and Susan, unfortunately, never lived to see the opening of Gregory County west. Fairfax, barely two
years old, followed shortly by Bonesteel were merely trading posts to the new Gregory County. These were the
1
only towns in existence except for trading posts, the Papin Brothers Trading Post, Whetstone Landing, Porter's
Landing, Fort Randall, and Trudeau's Trading Post near Fort Randall.
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 inland
town site.

September 11, 1894 on his ranch north of Burke, South Dakota on the Sully Flats. Susan A. Emery was born
December 23, 1829 at Newton, New Jersey and died May 5, 1897 at Valentine, Nebraska. The Emerys came to
the Sully Flats on section 31, Lucas Township, Gregory County, Dakota Territory in 1882 from Bon Homme
County, Dakota Territory where they had homesteaded in 1860. Henry R. H. Emery set up the Emery domain on
the Sully Flats which consisted of the Emery log cabin headquarters and ranch, the Emery School District and
schoolhouse, and the Emery Cemetery in Emery Township. (Later the township was renamed Lucas). Henry R.
H. Emery 1816-1894 was buried in the Emery Cemetery as were - Mother Susan A. Emery 1829-1897; Cecil
Blanche Durfee 1870-1898, wife of Thomas Durfee; and Maurice A. Pete 1901-1902, son of George and Maggie

near the county line. He remained there until in the eighties and has numerous descendants living in Gregory
County.

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 inland
town site.
William J. Emery was born July 3, 1852 in Muskegan, Michigan to Henry R. H. and Susan A. Emery. He
was thirty years of age when he journeyed with his parents in 1882 through Dakota Territory into the great Sioux
Rosebud 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 Day
William and Adelle, her sister Margaret and Abraham Turgeon were married in a double ceremony by the priest
at Wheeler, S.D. William had met Adelle while he was living in Bon Homme County. Father DeSmet had
baptized the Landeaux sisters at Fort Omaha, Nebraska.
William and Adelle Emery made their home at Wheeler, a pioneer settlement in what is now Charles Mix
County. 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 they
abided 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 the
urge was born when he heard the tales of Johnny Appleseed, a native of England, who had planted apple seeds
throughout England and the United States.
As soon as the town site of Burke was established in 1904, William and Adelle disposed of their ranch
holdings 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 he
held until his death. He constructed Burke's first livery stable service, "Emery and Sons", operated by Sam and
Dick Emery. William J. had been a scout in his younger years. With his horse and buggy he drove he drove land
seekers to the rural areas to size up their claims. Or if they preferred, they could rent a horse and buggy, driving
the conveyance themselves. One of the first pool halls was built by the Emerys and managed by Sam Emery. His
son-in-law, Morris Bossingham, married to his daughter Anna, operated Burke's first meat market. He raised the
beefs on his ranch north of Burke. He and his nephew, Abe Turgeon, built a hardware shop on Main Street. They
sold hardware, stoves, wash tubs and kitchenware to the public.
William became a member of the Modern Woodmen of America Lodge whose meetings were held on the
second floor of the Hardware and Pool Room building built by J. J. Dolezal. March 20, 1905 on Policy #1028,
he paid yearly dues of $4.75 to D. L. Hartman, Clerk of Camp #26, Rock Island, Illinois.
William roomed and boarded in the European Hotel of Burke, run by Jensen and Wiley, April 2,1904. He
deposited $4.00 in the bank to their account for the 21 days he spent there. October 11, 1904 he deposited
$400.00 in the Security State Bank at Bonesteel.
William J. Emery died January 11, 1916 in Burke. Prior to his burial in the Catholic Cemetery south of
Burke, the Drotening's Men's Ready-to-Wear Store in Burke was given the list of instructions for the clothing
suitable for his interment. "Finest men's clothes you have in the store: one suit, color navy blue of black size #38;
1 pair finest kid gloves, color white size #--; one necktie; 1 pair black stockings; 1 pair finest men's slippers, color
black, #6; and a white silk handkerchief. Claude Yeager was the undertaker and conducted the burial rites.

AT REST AT LAST
After a long and painful illness which was manfully borne, on Tuesday evening, January 11th 1916 at 10:30
o'clock, Mr. Wm. Emery passed peacefully away at his home in this city. His trouble was cancer of the stomach.
Some time in the fall he went to Rochester, Minn. to consult specialists as to his ailment and was told that nothing
could be done for him. He came home and fixed up his business affairs and calmly awaited the inevitable. He
was brave and manly and made no complaint. He said to the writer, when he came home from the hospital, "Well
I have lived a good while in this world anyway." He seemed obedient to the ruling of Providence. He was a man
of nerve and strength of character as well as physical strength. He had decided opinions as to what was right in
the general affairs of life, both public and private, and stood firmly for his devotions. No one as in doubt to his
position. He was industrious and exercised good judgement in what he did. To be thoroughly convinced of this
one would only need to see his home place where a _______ trees and shrubs and _______ many kinds and of
much ________ growing. It is a beautiful _____ and stands as a monument to his memory. He will be greaty
missed by his family in whose behalf his life was devoted, and by the whole community. He was a pioneer in the
Rosebud and had a wide acquaintance. The greater part of the last two years of his life he acted as city marshall
and _______ only when his strength failed him. He leaves a wife and large family of sons and daughters to
mourn his loss. The funeral will take place from the Catholic church tomorrow (Friday) morning at 11:30 o'clock.
Rev. Father Connaughton, assisted by several visiting priests, will conduct the services. The burial will be made
in the Catholic Cemetery south of town. Obituary next week.

Notes for ADELLE "ADDIE" LANGDEAU:

From "The Saga of Sully Flats", by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977 by Gregory Times-Advocate Gregory,
6
South Dakota, page 161.
To Adelle, being the sheriff's wife, fell the duty of cooking meals for the prisoners or whomsoever her
husband brought to their home to feed. From celebrities to rag-a-muffins, she fed them all, also caring for anyone
who came to their home needing assistance.
One day she had baked and enormous batch of yeast bread. She mixed and kneaded the bread, allowing the
sponge to rise two times before shaping it into loaves in the bread pan. The bread, when risen again, was baked
in the oven of a large iron cook stove which required wood or coal to produce heat. The baked product was on
the table, cupboards, all over the kitchen so the invited a group of Indians into her home for lunch. They enjoyed
the freshly baked bread and ate heartily. When finished they proceeded to fill their lard pails with the remaining
loaves of bread. Adelle did not know it was the custom of these Indians to eat to their satisfaction then take the
leftover food home with them.
Adelle delivered many new babies into this country. Burke did have Dr. George Waterman, but only in very
serious cases was his service ever required. It was deemed unseemly by mothers to have a male doctor assist in
the 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. She
was hospitalized in the recently remodelled Burke Hospital, the original courthouse. Dr. R. J. Quinn was the
chief surgeon; Joan Flynn Dion was the head nurse. Adelle was patient and uncomplaining, lying in her bed in
not 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 were
proud of it. Six months later Dick removed his mother to the Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton, S.D. She had
tried to live in her home, but she was unable to manage alone. She remained in the Yankton Hospital for the
duration 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 and
plants were covered with hoary frost, patterns of lace sprinkled with twinkling diamonds. A close relative
described her burial thus "Adelle was buried in diamonds and lace that cold, bright winter day." The Emery town
property 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 birth
record.
The 1860 lists her as Idell. The 1870 Census lists her as Ida. The 1880 Census lists her as Ada. The 1885
Territorial Census lists her as Idelle.
The 1900 Census lists her as Adell, mother of 9 children, 7 still living. Under the Special Inquiries Relating
to 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 JOSEPH "JOE" EMERY:

From "The Saga of Sully Flats", by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977 by Gregory Times-Advocate Gregory,
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 ranch
with his brother Dick (Henry). Later he journeyed to Mission, S.D. to make his home with his sister, Adele
Boyd. One evening he was walking out the Emery ranch near the Indian boarding school and was struck by a
hit 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. He
was mentally challenged, perhaps functioned at the age level of a six or seven year old. I would say he had
very 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 accident
as a child. I remember being told that he had been castrated as a young man to assure that he would not
molest anyone or father any children. While he lived with my grandparents he was Grandpa's workhorse. He
would do simple, repetitive chores - clean out the horse stalls, carry water, haul rocks, etc. He slept in the
bunkhouse. He did get to eat with the family but then went to his bedroom. His clothes were clean (Grandma
saw to that) - bib overalls and a plaid, long sleeved flannel shirt, with a denim overal jacket in the winter.
Grandpa Emery screamed at him a lot and called him awful names. So did my dad. I suppose it was very
frustrating - he was a grown man with a childs mind. I do think Grandpa loved him and felt a responsibility
toward him but just did not know how to deal with him. Pat and I liked Joe a lot. He would play with us. He
was a quiet person, maybe even shy but with a pleasant smile all the time. I do not remember Joe ever getting
mad or screaming and hollering back when people yelled at him. He just took it and moved on. After
Grandpa Emery died, Joe was sent back to the reservation to live - I do not know where. I never saw him
again. We heard that he was walking along the highway and was hit and killed by a passing truck. His was a
sad, sad story.
________________________________________________________________
According to his Draft Registration Card he was medium height and build, with light blue eyes and black hair.

Notes for HULBERT A. EMERY:

From "The Missouri River Reveille," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1981, by Gregory Times-Advocate,
Gregory, South Dakota, pages 313-315.
EMERY: HULBERT A. EMERY was born January 19, 1863 in Bon Homme County, Dakota Territory to
Henry R. H. and Susan A. Emery of Michigan.
Hulbert A. Emery was 19 years old when his father settled on the Sully Flats. Hulbert left home and wended
his way to Sioux City, Iowa. Here he met and married Mrs. Loriviere who was born in Montreal, Canada. Her
family had moved to Massachusetts and then down to Elkpoint, South Dakota. Here she met and married a man
by the name of Loriviere and they had three children - Ida, Charles and Edward. They parted over another
woman. Later Mrs. Loriviere met Hulbert Emery and they were married. They became the parents of three
children - Bessie Deyla, born 1905 in a log house at St. Francis Mission Ranch near Crookston, Nebraska;
Richard, and Henry. The three children by Mrs. Emery's first marriage totaled six in the Hulbert Emery family.
Robert H. Emery came to visit his brother and family at the Mission Ranch. Shortly thereafter Hulbert
journeyed to Gregory County to visit his brothers and sisters. Incidentally this was July 1904 when the filing and
drawing for homesteads in the western portion of Gregory County, up until then the Rosebud Indian Reservation,
was in progress. If Hulbert filed for a homestead it is not known. However he liked the country and plans were
made for Hulbert and his family to move to his Uncle's place, the James H. Emery ranch in section 8, Gaughen
Township under the name of Josephine Emery. James H. Emery had ranched on the Sully Flats, then the Rosebud
Reservation about or prior to 1880. His brother Henry R. H. Emery and family arrived in 1882. James H. Emery
married Josephine LeDeaux of French-Indian extraction and they settled on her allotment. They became the
parents of 14 children - three of whom (Henry, Matilda and William) were born on the Sully Flats. Shortly after
the death of Jack Sully in May 1904, the James H. Emery family left Gregory County and settled near Mission,
South Dakota where James died some years later. Vetal, Clementine, Frank, Josephine, Edna, Robert, James,
Wallace, Susie, Annie and Joseph Emery were born near Mission to James and Josephine Emery.
Hulbert Emery returned to Sioux City, Iowa and immediately began preparations for their move to Gregory
County. He railed his household goods to Bonesteel, South Dakota. They loaded up the "over-jet" for their drive
to Gregory County. The "over-jet" better known as the prairie schooner, was fashioned of wood bows fastened
over head to a lumber wagon and covered canvas. A wide board was fastened on each side as wagon seats upon
which was laid a bedspring. Beneath the springs was packed clothing, bedding, cooking utensils and dishes, and
feed for the chickens and horses. Hulbert crated about two dozen chickens which he set in a two-wheeled racing
cart and fastened to the rear end to the wagon. He hitched horses to the "over-jet" and they began their week long
trek to the Emery Ranch in Gregory County, South Dakota. Daughter Ida and her husband John Brenan hitched
up mules to a similar wagon and followed the Emery's over the pioneers trail to Gregory County where they built
a claim shanty on their claim. Son Charles and his wife came later with her folks the Nelsens who had a
homestead near the Emerys.
After arriving in Bonesteel the weary travellers proceeded to James Emery Ranch on the North Whetstone
which was many miles northwest of Bonesteel. Their new home was a three-room soddie with a dirt roof - later
to which they added tow large rooms roofed with tar paper. The timbers of the barn were hand hewn from
cottonwood trees. Sometime later Hulbert built a new two-story cement block house into the side of the hill.
Artesian wells supplied a plentiful everlasting flow of water. These wells are yet flowing today. A cistern by the
house was kept filled for household use.
The railroad began to push into the new frontier. Ida and her family moved into Bonesteel where John
worked on building the railroad and Ida cooked for the crew. Charles and Edward also worked for the railroad
and saw it built from Bonesteel to St. Charles and Herrick - then to Burke, Gregory and Dallas, the end of the line
until the rails were extended to Colome, by-passing Lamro. Lamro was moved north and named Winner.
The prairie was no longer a wide expanse of buffalo grass - claim shacks, soddies, and log cabins began to
dot the landscape. All were friendly people. Their desire was to make a home on the plains and in the hills. The
new settlers traveled in a horse-drawn wagon until they could afford the more comfortable spring wagon or
buggy. A trip to Bonesteel and back required a long day. Usually it was pitch dark when Hulbert and Bessie
began their long journey home from Bonesteel with their wagon heavily loaded with food, supplies and feed.
Hulbert let the horses proceed at their own pace and instincts in the dark night. Mr. Emery discovered they had
driven into a plum thicket. He lead them out to the road and the horses took them home.
Evenings were spent by the family seated around the big kitchen stove with oven doors on each side which
when opened let out a warmth that made the kitchen warm and cozy. The lamp was turned out and the firelight
danced on the ceiling and walls. The family sang songs. The most popular then was "Just Before the Drawing
Sweetheart", also "Cowboy Jack", "My Mother Was A Lady", and "My Dad's Dinner Pail". The last song was
14
Hulbert's favorite and Bessie sang it for him.
When Charles wife's baby was due she came to the Emery home for its birth. A premature baby boy,
Wallace, was born and lived only a short time. Bessie cared for the tiny body and helped with the burial which
would be in a grave plot in the hills. Twin cousins had been buried there previously and Bessie helped make and
paint the tiny white crosses with the twins' names Annie and Joseph. There were seven graves in the hill cemetery
which included Baby Wallace Emery, the twins Annie and Joseph, Frank Emery who died from the flu, and three
unknown. The coffins were purchased in Bonesteel and hauled home. The families cared for the bodies and
burials. There was no priest or minister to offer last rites.
The new frontier winters were cold and long, snowstorms piled the snow high. Woe to anyone without
shelter. One such night out of the storm rode a group of horsemen - cowboys who could not make it back to their
ranch. The James Emery's shared their home and food with them. Their saddle blankets were a bed in front of
the big wood heater in the front room. By the dawn the cowboys were on their way. Two of the horsemen were
Jack Sully's men and the one, later on, betrayed Jack Sully to his death.
Prairie fires were a monster of horror to the homesteaders. One Sunday the family, dressed up for the
Sabbath, had a get-together for family and friends. Ice cream and cake was enjoyed by all. The laughter and
visiting was suddenly hushed by the sight of a big black cloud of smoke in the northwest. Then came action!
Sacks were grabbed, barrels put in wagons and filled with water, horses hitched up, and the men took off! The
women hurried to the house to make coffee and sandwiches for the firefighters. This was the worst fire ever to
consume the Sully Flats. Men with big knives sliced cattle down to the belly. Tying ropes to the hind legs and
fastening the other end of the rope to their saddle horns, they straddled the blaze forcing their ponies to pull the
bleeding carcasses over the fire in and effort to extinguish the holocaust. Other followed behind on foot to put
out the little blazes that were left. Edward Emery, with his Sunday best patent leather oxfords, came to the house
with his soles burned through. In spite of all the fire burned the hay on the flats. The cattlemen were forced to
locate winter pastures. The U. H. Cattle Company wintered 800 head on the Emery Ranch with two of their men,
Jack and Wallace Spears to ride herd. The Spears brothers from Texas, two of the best riders on the range,
roomed and boarded at the Emery house.
Dances were a popular form of entertainment and the Emerys attended many dances up and down the
Whetstone and on the flats. On the flats a young groom and his bride were hosting a housewarming, Jack and
Walter Spears, the cowboys, borrowed Mr. Emery's wagon and hitched their saddle horses to it. Jack and Walter
and the Emery children put hay and blankets in the box and proceeded to the dance, stopping at various homes to
pick up more young people. The night was dark, the ground was heavy with snow, and they had a long distance
to drive. The merry young people gave the horses the reins until one horse plunged into a snow bank and refused
to stand. Jack borrowed a horse from a nearby homesteader, warm and snug in his claim shack. It was late when
the party arrived at the house dance which was in full swing with 20 to 25 guests. They were served oyster stew
and all the trimmings which warmed them up. They joined the dancers and danced until dawn, returning to their
homes in time for chores. Only after the chores were done could they go to bed.
A dance could also be a spur of the minute affair. One time at the Emery table one of them suggested a
dance be held at the Evans' place. Dressed in warm clothing, the Emery youngsters mounted their horses and
rode off. Walter Spears gave Bessie his saddled pony and he rode bareback on another horse. Seven miles down
the creek they surprised the Evans' in bed. Unhesitantly the Evans' got up, rolled the rug back on the floor, and
the party was on.
The horseshoe bend in the creek by the Emery place was a park-like gathering place for family get-togethers
and the holidays such as the 4th of July. Friends and family enjoyed a big picnic under the trees by the stream.
Mr. Emery had put two swings in the trees and laid out a field for croquet. One afternoon a young man visitor
was pushing Bessie in the swing. As she was flying through the air, a loud crack was heard. The children under
the doomed tree scurried away but Bessie was helpless. The youth grabbed the swing as she came toward him
and held on, dragging his feet in the earth. Bessie came to a stop just as the tree fell in front of her, striking her
knees on the trunk. She was safe but thought, "what years one oftentimes lives in only a few minutes."
The North Whetstone was usually placid or dry but there were times when the creek became a raging river of
water. This was the January thaw and the day was warm and sunny. Mr. Emery and son Charles on a trip
horseback into Bonesteel, returned to find the deep snow had almost melted away. The North Whetstone Creek,
fed by the vast amount of melting snow from the hills, became a torrent. Bessie, by the cave, was watching a little
stream of water trickle down the creek bed. Suddenly a wall of water six to eight feet high rushed by her,
spreading out on the creek bed to the flat below the house. There was cold rushing water swirling everywhere and
the noise was deafening. Bessie stood spellbound, she had never seen anything like this. Mr. Emery and Charles
were stopped at the last crossing to the ranch by the flood of water. Just a few moments earlier would have seen
them through and safe but fate, that fickle paragon would test their stamina and life. An ice gorge had formed
below the bridge sending the water into the road and into the creek further down. Mr. Emery decided to cross his
horse first and bade Charles wait. Charles, not hearing him in the tumult, followed behind. His horse floundered
15
in the cold icy water and threw Charles into the stream. Charles landed near a small sapling. He climbed into the
small tree but was still in water to his knees. Mr. Emery called out but receiving no answer he turned back. He
saw that Charles was in a predicament but he was unable to reach him. He rode to a nearby hill and called out at
intervals. Bessie heard the call for help over the noise of the water. She grabbed the lantern and Edward the
rope. Upon reaching the creek, they could not cross. They saw Charles, half-frozen and helpless, hanging onto
the small tree for dear life. Edward tied the rope around his waist securely and with Bessie holding the other end
of the rope, the crossed over the ice gorge to Charles. Tying the rope around Charles, he pulled him to the big
tree that held the ice gorge. As Edward started to recross the ice gorge, Charles slipped into the racing current of
water and Bessie pulled him ashore. She held Charles' head out of the water until Edward got across and helped
pull Charles up on the creek bank. Charles was a solid chunk of ice, he could neither bend nor move. Edward
bent over and Bessie put Charles of Edward's back. With one hand she held Charles and with the other the
lantern as Edward crept slowly forward. Mrs. Emery was waiting at the door. She undressed Charles and rubbed
him with peppermint oil, stood him in a tub of water, and massaged him for hours. He survived his ordeal with
only a cracked ankle suffered when his foot was wedged in the little tree. Mr. Emery rode to the house, thankful
his son was alive.
When Bessie grew up she married her love Walter Spears, the cowboy from Texas. They went to
Chamberlain, South Dakota to live but Bessie could not endure the loneliness so her father brought them back to
the ranch. Walter and Bessie made a home in the Derringer place close-by and Walter worked on the ranch for
Mr. Derringer who was a barber in Bonesteel. Here a daughter Nettie was born; a son Willard was born in Sioux
City, Iowa but because of precarious health they moved to Black River Falls, Wisconsin where their son Robert
was born. They finally settled at Tuthill, South Dakota where Robert Spears now farms.
Walter Spears died of throat cancer. Later Bessie married John Millspaugh and they have a son Johnie.
Walter and Bessie (Emery) Spears had four children - Nettie, Willard, Robert, and Ruth.

Notes for ROBERT HARVEY EMERY:

Robert H. Emery was working on the Rosebud landing near Fort Randall. Here he met and married Rose
Dion, sister to Oliver Dion. Rose Dion was born August 17, 1871, near Beaver Creek, S.D. to John Dion and
Sophia Bonveaux. John Dion was born in Quebec, Canada and Sophia was born in Rosebud, S.D. Robert H. and
Rose (Dion) Emery came to Gregory County in 1891 and ranched on the Sully Flats. Five children were born to
them: Albert A. (1890), Clarence (1892), Edith (1894), Robert A. (1896-1971), and Rose (1899).
The Emerys had moved to Rose's allotment on the banks of the Antelope Creek, 10 mile east of Mission,
S.D. Three days after baby Rose's birth, Rose (Dion) Emery died, December 5, 1899. Robert H. Emery was left
with 5 young children to care for. Robert A. went to live with his uncle William Emery on his ranch. Bonesteel,
17
a trading post, was their closest town. When Robert A. was ready for school he spent only summers with his
uncle William. The other children came up in the summers to stay at their grandfather Emery's ranch.
The Rosebud Boarding School was near Robert H. Emery's ranch east of Mission, S.D. The children were
placed in the boarding school to attend school. Many of the children were orphans, so they lived in the school
year round. Albert A. attended his school years in the Pipestone Indian School in Pipestone, Minn. The other
children, Clarence, Robert A., Edith, and Rose attended the Rosebud Boarding School in their early years, then
went 3 years in Haskell, Kansas and Grand Island, Nebraska. They were transferred to Rapid City for high
school.
Robert H. Emery remarried. He died in White River, S.D. in the year 1922.

ROBERT EMERY, GOVERNMENT FARMER, DEACEASED
Robert Harvey Emery, for five years government farmer of the White River district of the Rosebud Indian
Reservation, succumbed after an extended illness. Death came last Saturday morning at Farmer's home just west
of White River.
Mr. Emery was born in Bon Homme county, November 4, 1865, one of the first white children to be born in
Dakota Territory. He came to the Rosebud about 40 years ago when the West River Country was "new" and has
been a resident here since that time. He was very well known thruout the entire Rosebud and had many friends in
every county of the reservation.
He was united in marriage to Rose Dion and to this union were born four children, Clarence and Robert of
Parmalee, Mrs. Edith Crane of California, and Rose Scott of Mission. Mrs. Emery died about twenty-five years
ago and some time later Mr. Emery was married to Mary McLean. To this union were born five children, James
and Charles, who are attending Haskell Institute at Lawrence, Kansas, and Angeline, Mable and Delphine who are
living with their mother at Wood.
The funeral was held at White River Wednesday conducted by Rev. J. Clark of Mission.
Mr. Emery was a member of the White River lodges, A. F. & A. M., O. E. S., I. O. O. F., and Rebekahs. He
also was a member of the Deadwood Consistory and Shrine. The Masonic order conducted their complete burial
service.
The funeral was largely attended and if the weather and roads had been more favorable large delegations
from Rosebud, Mission and O'kreek would have been present.
All the children and one brother James, were able to attend the last rites which were performed in honor of
the deceased.

Notes for WILLIAM EMERY "BILL" PURVIANCE:
From: "The Missoulian," Sunday, 9 April 1995.
William E. Purviance
MISSOULA - Strengthened by the love of his wife and friends and by the compassion of his health car
providers, Bill Purviance completed his life journey on Friday evening, April 7. Fittingly, bill died at home.
Born Nov. 23, 1907 in South Dakota, Bill was satisfied that he had a long and happy life. As a young man,
he worked various jobs, learning a myriad of craft skills. He was a carpenter, mechanic, farmer, electrician
and inventor. After moving to Missoula, he became owner and operator of a full-service gas station.
What gave him the most joy was his marriage to Lurene Bailey in 1934. For 61 years, the couple shared life
and love which has served as an inspiration to many.
There are a few things that Bill did not do, either as a hobbyist, an outdoorsman, a business person and an
avid gardener. As recently as a month ago, he continued to enjoy golf and bowling. His partners will miss his
great sense of humor.
He was a member of the Missoula Hellgate Elks Lodge, and belonged to BPOE for 58 years. He was a
bowler with the Swingin' Seniors Bowling Association, and played golf at the University Golf Course. Bill
was a faithful and faith-filled member of the Spirit of Peace community.
Besides his wife, Lurene, Bill is survived by a brother- and sister-in-law, George and Peggy Bailey,
Bloomfield, Colo.; a sister-in-law, Eunice Bailey, Woodburn, Ore.; and a great many friends.
Memorial services will be 1 p.m. Tuesday at Sunset Memorial Funeral Home in Missoula.

William was listed twice in the 1920 Census, once with his parents and once with his grandmother.

Notes for SAMUEL "SAM" JUSTUS EMERY:

From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by Gregory Times-Advocate, page 74-
75.
Those men who helped make Gregory County the fine and rich land it is were honest, hard-working men who
gave a dollar in labor for each dollar earned. Their work day was from sunup to sundown, not eight hours a day
or forty hours a week as today. Their pay was about thirty dollars per month, or more if they could qualify for the
job.
As to what a cowboy was made of; it was a Stetson hat, bibless trousers, and high heeled boots. A vest to
carry his Bull Durham, cigarette papers, and matches was a must. When and old time cowboy was asked what
Bull Durham was made of, he replied, "Just what the name implies - bull ____ and a little tobacco." It made good
smoking so they all carried a good supply.
Some or the cowboys wore chaps for protection while riding. Spurs were used by most cowboys, not to
abuse the horse, but to help control it when roping or cutting cattle. A good saddle and ropes were required for
ranch work. No quarter horses were raised in the early days of 1890 or 1900, but the horses were well trained. A
good 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 Claude
Sully; Frank Dimond, Ole Dahl; Ore Unglaub, Joe Reynolds, Matt and Joe Crilly. Frank Kenzie was an
outstanding 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 148
The 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. The
early ranchers located their cattle and horse herds from the Buttes for the roundups held in Dixon and at the Ben
Turgeon ranch in what was later Turgeon Twp. in the Whetstone Valley. In many of these roundups were cattle
numbering in the 32,000's gathered together. Cows, bulls, heifers, steers and calves were picked out by their
respective owners. They were roped and thrown by cowboys on their horses to be branded, de horned and
earmarked. 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 JOHN THOMAS MILLSPAUGH:

From "The Missouri River Reveille," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1981, by Gregory Times-Advocate,
Gregory, South Dakota, pages 382-383.
MILLSPAUGH: JOHN T. MILLSPAUGH was born in Jefferson, Iowa, June 23, 1883 and moved with my
parents to Nebraska during the following summer. I was raised in Nebraska until I was seventeen years old. We
42
then moved to Dakota where I lived working around as a farmhand until I was old enough to tile on a homestead.
I worked for Jun Castine for $5.00 per month and board.
I filed a homestead in Fairfax, South Dakota. My homestead of 160 acres was 4 miles north of Bonesteel. I
filed with Edward M. Starcher who lived about 6 miles from Bonesteel.
I learned both the carpenter and masonry trades and built my own frame house on my homestead. Later I
worked as a carpenter in both South Dakota and Nebraska. Many of the structures are still standing and in a good
state of preservation.
I returned to my frame house on the homestead and found a windstorm had come along and blown the house
away. It was scattered for about a half mile. This wind hadn't touched the barn nor an empty barrel which was
turned upside down near the house, but the house was gone, scattered over the prairie.
After this I sold my relinquishment in the homestead for $600.00 to Ben Solomon, the hardware store owner.
Payment was all in gold which I carried in a pouch. The gold pieces were $2.50 pieces about the size of a dime
and $5.00 pieces the size of a quarter, $10.00 pieces the size of half dollar and $20.00 gold pieces the size of the
old silver dollars.
I started for Atkinson, Nebraska stopping at the Robbers Roost, a hotel in Butte, Nebraska on my way. I put
my gold filled pouch under the mattress in my room for safekeeping. The next day I continued my journey for
about 4 miles by team before I remembered I had forgotten my gold pouch under the mattress. I had to turn
around and go back. Mrs. Wright let me return to my room and to my relief my pouch was under the mattress
where I had left them. I was then able to continue to Atkinson.
I bought a new top buggy for $55.00 and persuaded Amelia Intorn to be my bride. We were married by the
county judge in O'Neill, Nebraska. The next day we journeyed back to Butte, Nebraska, and stayed all night
again at the Robbers Roost Hotel.
We went to Bonesteel where Amelia filed on a homestead about a mile form where my first homestead was
located. This homestead had a natural spring on it so we had a little water.
I built a frame house 14' x 20', living with my brother-in-law, Bert Germiquiet, while building. This 160
acres was grazing land with all corners monumented by government surveyors with iron stakes. I broke only
about 10 acres planting corn and a garden.
My next work was freighting. Gregory County was opening up to homesteads, townsites and railroads and
farms were being planned. I began hauling freight from Geddes to Bonesteel. It was a two-day trip crossing the
Missouri on a ferry at the site of Wheeler, S.D. where Cheri Raymond charged $1.00 per trip.
I got 45 cents per 100 lbs. freighting lumber and groceries. I hauled freight until the railroad was built into
Bonesteel. Townsites were being laid out to the west. I hauled the first load of lumber to Gregory, South Dakota
for John Gormerly of Butte, Nebraska. I freighted, using a wide-tired horsedrawn wagon, and drove a team from
Bonesteel to Burke, Herrick, St. Charles, and all the new towns. While I did this freighting, Amelia lived on the
homestead.
When we went to Gregory we lived in a tent and a windstorm came along blowing the tent down leaving us
soaking wet - even the baby. Our horses were stolen but I did get them back.
I then began to break land for Dr. Kenaston. I broke 160 acres of prairie sod at $1.50 an acre. I could break
three acres a day using a 20 inch breaking plow. This was a walking plow pulled with three horses. After
finishing this job, I broke land for several others.
We returned to Bonesteel and bought a herd of cattle to graze the land. We also took cattle to raise on shares
which at that time wasn't a paying enterprise so we sold the homestead and moved to Nebraska.
In Nebraska I filed on another homestead under the Kincaid Act. We built a home, bought some milk cows
and stayed there for a number of years.
My first son, Clarence Alvin, was born in South Dakota. My second son, Earl Francis, and two girls,
Josephine Elizabeth and Dolly May, were born in Nebraska. Later another son was born in South Dakota.
I got a good chance to sell. Land went up in price and everything was favorable. After selling we moved
back to South Dakota again. We liked Martin, South Dakota. Amelia died in Martin in 1930.
I worked as a carpenter on various jobs. After Hoover go in as president, land was cheap. I bought an
improved place for $500.00.
I met Bessie Spear in 1931 and remarried. Bessie was the daughter of Hubert Emery, who ranched on the
north fork of the Whetstone. We moved to our new home in South Dakota and here another son, John Delano,
was born.
Neighbors were far apart, but hunting and fishing was very good. We shot mallard ducks, geese, grouse,
partridges and Chinese pheasants. Small game was plentiful too. I used to invite everyone I knew, lawyers,
bankers, merchants and folks out to hunt the Chinese pheasant. It was common to hunt one draw and have 50
birds. The pheasants were so plentiful they destroyed my corn, leaving only a few kernels at the base of the
corncob. When I started to pick the corn, there was nothing there to pick.
43
In 1944 we decided to sell and move to Washington. We had a sale of everything and got $4,500.00 for the
place. We drove west, arriving in Washington October 12. I took up carpenter work and bought a home in
Spokane.
I have gone back to visit in South Dakota every two years, and I wish I had never come west but stayed in
South Dakota. Dakota is a great country.
I am now almost 90 years old retired. About five years ago, we went back to the Whetstone to Bessie's
father's homeplace, then visited Bessie's homestead where a wonderful family is now living. But on my old
homestead, there is nothing.
I plan to make one more trip to South Dakota if I am physically able. My wife, Bessie, is now in a rest home.

INDIAN LADS IN FRANCE

The Rosebud agency has thirty Indian lads in France and forty-five otheres at the contonments. The agency
also has a Red Cross nurse, Miss Edith Emery, who went with the first base hospital unit overseas after war was
declared. So it is no wonder that the Indian women and girls are ready workers for this great cause, when once
they understand.

"Home Burns"
Fire, the cause of which has not been determined, did extensive damage in the James Moulton home on
Maple steet about 3:00 p.m. Thursday. The blaze was reported by Mrs. Evelyn Temple when some youngsters
told her "there was something wrong at Moulton's." Mr. and Mrs. Moulton were not at home at the time.
Two trucks and a complete compliment of men were required to bring the flames under control and confine
the 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 the
Traverse City Senior High School, she was the cause of the fire. Before the family left that day Ileen had been
smoking on the couch and put the cigarette out in an ash tray on the arm of the couch. She believes that that was
the cause of the fire.

Profile:
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. That
year, her father homesteaded in Todd County on the Schmidt place near Hidden Timber. Two years later, her
mother 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 is
still known as the old Bossingham house, along the highway about six miles east of Mission.
Warm weather or cold, every school day Adell and her siblings walked two miles west to Haystack Butte
62
School. 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 the
family, 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 to
tell 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's
about 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 at
McCarty 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 first
met 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 an
apartment 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 she
visited 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 and
the 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 the
kids."
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 kids
for you," Adell said.
Although the Boyds retired from the boarding school in 1973, Adell still hears from students they taught. "I
can't see now, but when someone come up to me and says, 'Hello, Mrs. Boyd,' I know I'm talking to one of my
students," she said. Adell treasures those encounters with former students, many of whom claim her as Mom or
Grandma.
"I taught them to love and respect. That's what we were taught. My mom and dad were really strict, but even
at the time they corrected us, I didn't feel resentment. Respect doesn't just come to children. They have to be
taught. 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. Her
specialties were cinnamon rolls and pies, and fried chicken dinners on Sunday. "Lloyd and I would go to the first
mass and come home, and I would fry chicken. The rest of the family would go to the second mass, then come
home and eat," she reminisced.
After they retired, Lloyd and Adell moved to their own home west of Mission. Lloyd got sick and died in
1985, and the following year, Adell moved in with her son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Barb. She spends
winters with her daughter, Carmen, in Mesa, AZ, and usually spends several weeks each summer visiting her three
brothers 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 finds
comfort 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 for
anybody she knows who is sick.
"I thank God for all my children and grandchildren," Adell said again. "They all come to visit me and take
me places. That makes my day and keeps me young."

Profile:
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, until
years later when he was in the service. The spelling didn't matter much, though, because, from the time he was
small, everybody called him Sonny. He had been called Sonny for so long, the people in Michigan with whom he
worked 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
miles east of Mission. The two-story house was built by Sonny's father and uncle - his mother's sister's husband -
64
in about 1920. His uncle laid the flooring and sanded it, and Sonny remembers hearing how he wore out gunny
sacks 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 big
wide beds in each room. Five girls slept in the room on the east side and six boys slept on the west side," Sonny
recalled. 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 warming
ovens and a warming reservoir on the side. They burned wood in the cookstove if they had it, but usually burned
cobs 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, the
Bossinghams kept the milk and butter in a deep pit near the windmill several yards south of the kitchen door. A
rope 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," Sonny
chuckled.
Sometimes the Bossingham family hosted dances in the house. "We didn't have a whole lot of furniture," he
said. "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 the
Jack Jansen place) and had dances in the haymow with a Bohemian band playing polkas. "One guy got too far off
to the side and stepped in the chute where they put feed. His girlfriend looked around and her partner had
disappeared," Sonny laughed.
"Most of the people around here made home brew. A few made whiskey, too. Go to the dances, and
everyone brought their home brew," he reminisced. Once in a while people would get into fights, but that usually
happened 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 end
of Main Street. As a young boy of 10, Sonny and his older brother, Curtis, then in his late teens, butchered for the
meat market. Later, his father sold half of the business to Glen Seadore who moved it to where the city office and
clinic 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. The
Bossinghams 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 meat
market," said Dick Boyd, Sonny's nephew. "He was honest. He believed people paid if they could. If they
couldn't, he let it go. He said he might be in that condition sometime. He helped quite a few people who needed
help." Sonny says the ledger book shows where his father paid taxes for people who couldn't pay, and sometimes
paid 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 ice
house stood behind the meat market to the east. Frank Cordier had a truck and hauled ice from Antelope Creek
where horses pulled a machine that cut grooves in the ice in squares. An ice saw finished the cutting. The blocks
of 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. The
Detman and McKinney children rode horses, and sometimes, a family who had a car would pick up the other
students 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 boarded
with the Bossinghams for awhile before moving to a place closer to the school. There were usually 25 to 30
students. A wood and coal furnace in the basement heated the building through a big register in the schoolroom
floor. On very cold days, the smaller children usually didn't come to school; the ones who did would pull their
desks up around the register to keep warm. "We never did get snowed in at school, but there were a few days we
didn't go to school" because of the weather. Sonny reminisced. "In seventh and eighth grade, I went to school
early 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 the
butte. "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 the
corral when he came on a big pile of cow manure. He covered it with a hat and told Sonny and his other brothers
and 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 we
traveled was by horseback, on foot or in a team and wagon."
People looked out for each other more back then, Sonny believes. "Back there in them days, if something
65
happened - people got sick and couldn't do their harvesting - neighbors would come and do it for them. If your
house 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."

CARS COLLIDE AT JUNCTION NEAR HONOR
68
Two Traverse City area youths died Friday as the result of a mid-day collision of two cars at the junction of
US-31 and Lamb road seven miles east of Honor in Benzie county.
Dennis A. Williams, 16, of Buckley, driver of one of the cars was pronounced dead on arrival at Munson
Medical Center in Traverse City. His passenger, Stephen Ramsay, 17, of rural Thompsonville died about 5
p.m. at the medical center of injuries sustained in the crash occurring about 12:15 p.m.
The driver and lone occupant of the other vehicle, Don Schanz, 40, of Grand Rapids, was shaken up but not
otherwise injured in the collision which demolished both cars.
Benzie sheriff's department said the Williams car drove south from Lamb road into the path of the Schanz car,
west-bound on US-31. The youths were reported to be returning home after working with a tree-trimming
crew in Benzie county.

Notes for HAROLD LYLE SCHAFER:
From: "The Bismarck Tribune," Bismarck, ND, Wednesday, 5 December 2001.
Harold Schafer died Dec. 2, 2001, in a Bismarck hospital after an extended illness. He was 89 years old. A
memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday at Trinity Lutheran Church, Bismarck.
Harold was born Feb. 1, 1912, on a small farm near Stanton, the second of three children born to Edward and
Bertha Schafer. His brother Gordon was born in 1911, his sister Ethelwyn in 1916. During Harold's school years
the family moved repeatedly. In 1919, the Schafers moved from the farm near Stanton to another small farm near
Hazen, then to Killdeer in 1920 and to Bismarck in 1922. Harold next spent a considerable period of time with
his mother's family near Rosebud, S.D. In 1924, when Harold was 12 years old, his father left the family and
Harold moved back to Bismarck to live with his mother. He and his mother subsequently moved to Jamestown,
then to Glen Ullin and finally back to Bismarck in 1927. Harold graduated from Bismarck High School in 1929.
During this period in his life, Harold came to recognize the value of hard work -- a principle that defined his
personality throughout the remainder of his working life. He took his first paid job at the age of eight working in a
butcher shop in Killdeer for $4 per week. When his family moved to Bismarck he worked as a newspaper boy,
did janitorial work and was employed as a gas station attendant. In Jamestown he candled eggs, sold flowers and
worked as a department store clerk. In Glen Ullin he worked on a threshing crew, and by the time he was back in
Bismarck and graduating from high school, Harold was working two or three jobs at one time. He did odd jobs at
the Dahl clothing store, was an usher at the Capitol Theater, a bellhop at the Patterson Hotel, and an attendant at
the Standard Oil Service Station. He also delivered milk and shoveled snow. Finally he was offered a job as a
salesman at Bergeson's clothing store, an experience which may have marked the real starting point of his career
as a salesman.
In 1929, Harold enrolled at the North Dakota State Agricultural College (now NDSU) in Fargo. He
continued to work at multiple jobs and once again his employment included work as a salesman, this time at the
Globe Clothing Company. Harold left college after one year when he found his fraternity brothers fighting over
the chance to become county agents at $75 per month. Already earning $200 per month while working part time
and attending school, he hit the road as a traveling salesman, convinced that college was not the answer for him.
By 1931, at the age of 19, he returned to Bismarck where once again he found work at the Dahl Clothing Store.
On Sept. 22, 1935, Harold was married to Marian Nelsen of Aberdeen, S.D. During their 30-year marriage
they raised five children, Haroldeen, Joanne, Dianne, Ed and Pam.
Through an unfortunate set of circumstances Harold was forced to take a job at a clothing store in Glasgow,
Mont., almost immediately after the wedding but, by Jan. 1, 1936, he was back in Bismarck and working for
Vantine's Paint and Glass. He switched to Fargo Glass and Paint in November 1936 and then worked for that
company as a traveling salesman for several years.
In 1942, Harold started packaging and selling a product he called Gold Seal Floor Wax. He personally typed
the labels by hand and taped them onto old cans in his basement and, thus, Gold Seal Company was born.
Virtually no one noticed. In the spring of 1943, Harold resigned his job at Fargo Glass and Paint to pursue his
new dream, only to discover that the few hundred dollars that he had expected to have available for the purpose of
starting the company did not materialize. At that point Harold had three small children, no job and no money, and
his new company had no assets ... but he was living the dream.
In 1943, his Gold Seal Company made a profit of $901.02, and Harold borrowed money from friends to keep
going. The company grew modestly at first but, in 1945, Harold introduced a new product called Glass Wax.
Sales increased dramatically and then suddenly boomed when, in 1948, Glass Wax "went national." The
astonishing rise of this small North Dakota company, Harold's sometimes flamboyant management style, and his
incredible enthusiasm for hard work propelled Harold into the national limelight. The phenomenal success of
Glass Wax was repeated again in the 1950s with Snowy Bleach and in the 1960s with Mr. Bubble. Each of these
became the number one selling product in the world in their respective categories, and the Gold Seal Company
continued to produce increasing sales and profits until it was sold in 1986.
On May 9, 1965, Harold married Sheila Chinn Limond. She had three children -- Mark, Michelle and
Maureen. Harold and Sheila embraced each other's children as their own and the two families were melded into
one.
Although Harold's business success received a huge amount of attention, he is fondly remembered by most
North Dakotans for very different reasons. He was phenomenally generous, often to the exasperation of the
people who were charged with the task of making Gold Seal prosper and grow. The early years of his life were
marked by hard work and a nearly destitute existence, his middle years were marked by hard work and business
success and the latter portion of his life was defined by hard work and his devotion to family, North Dakota and
Medora. Through it all, he was always extremely generous. No living person knows the number of people touched
by that generosity-- but they are legion.
Harold had a quiet but determined faith in God that was inextricably woven into the fabric of his life. He
77
expressed that faith by his actions more often than by his words. Though he seldom spoke of his faith publicly,
that faith was strong and always guided his path. Harold gave God full credit for his accomplishments and often
felt very undeserving of having the prosperity that had eluded so many others. He was ever mindful of the passage
from Luke 12 which teaches that, "... for unto whom much is given, of him shall much be required..." The feeling
that he was not worthy of being singled out for any unusual success was the driving force behind much of his
generosity. Harold truly lived his faith.
As Harold grew older, his lifelong love for the Badlands and for Medora occupied more and more of his
attention. He purchased the Rough Riders Hotel and the Ferris Store in 1962 and began renovating them in 1963.
Other renovations and improvements soon followed and, in 1965, the Medora Division of the Gold Seal Company
was opened to the public. Harold was enthralled with Medora and its fascinating history, and continued to pour
his money and his efforts into this project. Medora eventually developed into the largest recreational area in the
state of North Dakota. When the Gold Seal Company was sold in 1986, the family donated the Medora assets to
the newly formed Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation. A very large number of people have worked very
hard to make Medora the premier attraction it is today but, clearly, it all began when Harold's crew took the
Rough Riders Hotel apart board by board and then painstakingly reassembled it. In later years, Harold would
walk, with great difficulty, through the streets of Medora simply marveling at all that had been accomplished. He
loved it. The happiest days of his life may have been those he spent with Sheila in Medora.
One of the most unforgettable features of Harold's personality was his amazing outlook on life. He endured
devastating business setbacks, draining lawsuits and heartbreaking adversity in his personal life. In spite of all that
occurred he genuinely believed he was the most blessed man who ever lived and, even when his health had
deteriorated to the point that he couldn't lift his arm off the table and could barely walk across the room, he
constantly exclaimed that everything was "wonderful." He meant it.
An astonishing number of awards were bestowed on Harold. A very large number of those were directly
related to his philanthropy, but he also became the youngest person ever to win the Horatio Alger award, he was
named one of the 10 best-dressed men in America by the International Association of Custom Tailors and
Designers and, in 1975, he was awarded the state's highest honor, the Rough Rider Award, by Governor Link.
Harold Schafer was a unique blend of flamboyance and humility, a successful businessman who was much
more interested in sharing than in accumulating wealth. He was generous to the point of extravagance. He loved
his family, North Dakota, Medora and the company he had built. He knew the joy of relentless hard work and the
satisfaction of overcoming adversity in the face of all odds. He had great admiration for Theodore Roosevelt and
relished in the kinship he felt with Teddy because of their shared love of the Badlands and their commitment to
serving others. T.R. could have spoken for both of them when he said, "Ours was the glory of work and the joy of
living."
Harold was particularly proud of the Harold Schafer Leadership Center which has been established at the
University of Mary, and of the collection of Native American artifacts which he assembled and displayed in the
Museum of the Badlands in Medora. A new Theodore Roosevelt Badlands Institute is currently being planned for
Medora. The artifact collection will be housed within the Institute's facility.
Harold is survived by his wife of 36 years, Sheila; two sons and daughters-in-law, former North Dakota
Governor and First Lady Ed and Nancy Schafer, Fargo, and Mark and Polly Limond, El Cajon, Calif.; six
daughters and five sons-in-law, Haroldeen and Robert Heskin, Alexandria, Minn., Joanne and Jim Kack,
Bozeman, Mont., Dianne Schafer and Eddie Walker, Fort Worth, Texas, Pamela Schafer and Warren Bishop, Del
Mar, Calif., Michelle and Rolf Sletten, Bismarck, and Maureen Limond, Austin, Texas; in addition to 25
grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Erma Wolters, Harold's longtime secretary and confidant, was also
considered a member of the family. She worked side by side with Harold from the first days of Gold Seal
Company until shortly before her death in 1996.
The family suggests that in lieu of sending flowers, those who wish to do so may contribute memorials to the
Harold Schafer Leadership Foundation at the University of Mary or to the Theodore Roosevelt Medora
Foundation for development of the new project.

Richard was born to Fern Emery out of wedlock. He was raised as the son of his grandparents, Samuel and
Harriet Emery. He and the family did not find out the secret until he joined the Navy. He needed his birth
certificate to join, and learned from this. His Baptismal Record lists him as Richard Sam (Morrison) Emery, son
of Roger Morrison and Fern Emery, adopted by Sam and Hattie Emery. Richard knew his father as Roger
Manion, not Roger Morrison. A Roger Manion as living on the Rosebud Reservation in 1930 that may have been
his father.
He is called Richard Samuel Emery on his second Certificate of Baptism which was issued by Rev. Louis
Fohls, June 16, 1944 at Kingsley, Michigan. It also lists Sam and Hattie Emery as his parents.
Richard was given the middle name Wayne when he was born. His grandparents, Sam and Hattie Trudell,
who raised him, gave him the middle name of Samuel, but he reverted back to Wayne when he joined the Navy.
According to his Certificate of Discharge, United States Coast Guard, Richard served in the Merchant
Marine on the ship "Joseph Murgas" from January 13, 1945 until his discharge March 16, 1945 in New York.
According to his Seaman's Certificate of Identification, he was 5 feet, 4 1/2 inches tall, with brown hair, blue
eyes, and a fair complexion.
Richard adopted Christopher Emery in 1981 in Pascagoula, Mississippi. He is the biological grandson of
Dolores (Beaulieu) Emery.
