Subject: Town of Britton From: Pat Collins Date: April 15, 2003 To: Lowell I am searching for William Richard Castle who lived in Langford, or Britton, with wife Lina around 1880, they had 11 children. I cannot find any info on his death..where or how..I only can get date which was Aug. 3, 1930. I think he may have been in jail at one time but I don't know where or why....Help? (Ultimately I want to trace family from abroad.) His father and mother were Joseph and Anna Castle, but I don't know if they lived in SD, because William was born in Ontario. Don't know when he came to SD or when. I am a granddaughter of William, my dad is James W. Castle. Thank you for any guidance on my "mystery tour"! Pat C.

Subject: Town of Britton From: Kathryn Berg Date: March 29, 2003 To: Lowell I have a little dilemma about Britton, South Dak. I have a picture of my ancestor that is hand-written on the back "Catherine Timmerman". This picture was taken in Britton, South Dak and has a photographer's emblem on the front of the picture that says S.A. Crockard, Artist, Britton, S.D. The problem is that Catherine Timmerman died in Clayton County, New York in 1881 and someone has recently told me that Britton did not become a town until 1882. So obviously there is a problem here. Is it possible that the town's name was Britton before 1882 and it did not FORMALLY become a town until 1882? Any other ideas you might have on this would be truly appreciated. I am just stymied as to how this can be Catherine Timmerman Cook and taken in Britton before 1881. Catherine's son was George Hudson, who I know lived in Britton during this time period, so we thought perhaps she was visiting him and had the portrait done. ANY HELP would be sincerely appreciated. Best regards, Kathy

Her husband, John Gunderson Eidahl, died in December, 1911, in South Dakota (possibly in Langford).

Is there a Langford or a Marshall County Historical Society or Genealogical Society who might have a cemetery register for the county? Thanks.

The house does seem to match bits and pieces of a house that appear in various photos that we know are from SD. I don't know who the standing man is. I don't know who the girl on the porch is.

I am looking for information on anyone who owned a ranch or farm in Stena

the Setbacken Ranch, but apparently there was no place officially
recognized by that name in Marshall County during that time. My great
grandparents' names were Alfred and Emma (or Loantha) Nelson and 3 of
their children were born in S. Dakota. Vivian was born in Stena on July
9, 1910 and her birth record states that Alfred and Emma were living in
Stena. I also looked up a marriage record for Alfred's half sister,
Ellen Johnson, who married Grant Chittenden on Feb 16, 1911. One of the
witnesses was someone named Mable Russell. The other witness was
Alfred's sister Amanda. So I'm wondering if Mable Russell also lived on,
owned, or was the wife of the one who owned this "Setbacken Ranch". Any

Hi, I'm looking for dates in my research of the Donaldson and
Sturdivant families, of Newark, SD..
Peter, William and Elmer James Donaldson came from New York and
Wisconsin about 1884, or before! Robert McCamet Sturdivant came
around 1904 from Va. He married Pearl Fannie Donaldson, daughter of
Elmer James and Minnie Donaldson.
These are my Grandparents and Great Grands, an am seeking birth,
marriage and death dates for them, and their families! I think
Robert "Camet" and Pearl were married about 1905. That's all I have.
Pearl was a school teacher in Newark, teaching in a 1 room school
house near the SD/ND border. Most of her students were her own
children, and some of them came from ND across the boarder to go to
school!
Children of "Camet" and Pearl Sturdivant were: Camet (ak Buster),
Bessie, Gladys(ak.Doll), Everett (my Dad), Mildred, Doris, Mattie,
Elmer, Lynn and Elwood. (Elwood may have been born in Wash. State)
Would like any dates listed above, pertaining to the aforementioned

I am emailing you to see if you have ever heard of a place called the
Setbacken Ranch in Marshall county. In the mid 1910s my great
grandparents, Alfred Nelson and Emma Loantha (Knight) Nelson and their
children were travelling from Michigan to the Seattle, Washington area to
seek medical help for Emma who had contracted TB. They stayed in S.
Dakota for awhile at the Setbacken Ranch. According to the limited
information I have, this occurred either in 1915 or 1917. I'm wondering
if this was the real name of the place they stayed at or a nickname.

Attached is the file on Nidaros cemetery. Please note that the cemetery

Nidaros was organized in 1896 and merged with Our Saviors Lutheran Church
in Veblen, South Dakota in 1965. It is located in the S/W 1/4 of section
6, Norway township, Roberts County. I did the survey in August, 2001 so it
should be current to that date. Also please note that this is not the
official record of burials in this cemetery. The records are probably held
by Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Veblen.

Bud's Cemetary List can be found by clicking on the beginning of this line or going back to the initial Marshall County Page and clicking on Marshall County Cemeteries.

Hello . I am looking for my grandfather's uncle, THEODORE OSNESS. He died in
July of 1974 in Langford. I have no idea at this point if he farmed in Langford
or not or whether he was married or not. I have been told that he never did marry.
At this point my only information about him is that he was born near Cottonwood,MT Jan 9,1886
and he died in Langford. His SSN # was issued before 1951 in CA. As Langford appears to
be a small community I thought it might be possible to find out about Theodore Osness.
Where he lived,neighbors,what he did for a living etc. Any help that you could give me
would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Larissa Reutgen

Dear Lowell and list readers,
I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has any information at all on
Nicholas ESTEFANOPOLY or any other ESTEFANOPOLY family members. Nicholas
Estefanopoly is listed on the Marshall County SD Land Tracts list as having
had property in White Township, Marshall County. This is the only item I
have been able to find on him.
Also, I would also be interested in hearing from anyone who's ancestors may
have emigrated to Marshall County from East Florida, Baleares Islands in
Spain, or Corsica, France, or Italy in the late 1800s.
Very sincerely,
Carla Venezia

Lowell,
In perusing the excellent material you have put on-line, I made a discovery
and perceived a problem. First, I see that you live in Centreville, Va. My
late father who was born in a sod hut on a homestead in Marshall County in 1901
for several years lived in Centreville in what is now the Ellanor Lawrence Park!
In perusing the almost unreadable 1900 county map, I see that the section numbering
in the Easternmost town- ships seems skewed by 2 miles. Therefore it is uncertain
where my forebears were. This is specisally evident in Veblen and Labelle townships.
Is it possible to obtain maps of these two similar to the one you gave of Hickman?
Please advise. Both my grandfather (John Henry Anderson), his father-in-law (Hans Thompson),
and possibly a great- great aunt (Hannah Thompson) had homesteads.in Township 128N,
Range 54W, which appears to be Veblen. The Thompsons came from Norway in about 1884,
and I am attempting to trace them back there. Any help is obviously much appreciated,
and I thank you in advance.

We are researching the jacob LARSON family that settled in the Marshall
County area in approximately 1874. Jacob and family came from Norway. His
wife and two sons that we know of came with Jacob. My grandfather, bernt
LARSON, who at the time was about 6 or 7 years old and his brother, larius
LARSON was about 3years old. We have a picture of a sister, martha LARSON
who married a lars WICKRE. There were other children, we believe.
We found on the Land Tract Records, where Jacob, Bernt and Larius had
property. Jacob's was listed as Sisseston, Bernt and Larius was listed as
Veblen.
Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.
The dates listed above are the only dates that we have found.

I am attempting to obtain information regarding my grandfather, John
KNUDSON. All the information I currently have is:
He immigrated from Norway.
His Naturalization Certificate is dated 3-31-1899
He Homesteaded Section 4, Township 128 (White), Range 57 in Marshall Co.
Land Grant Certificate is dated 8-16-1899 (Last name spelled KNUDSEN on
certificate).
He was married to Ingabor Haverly (b. 9-30-1872 d. 7-2-1960) probably in
early 1890 and probably at Pleasant Valley Church near Kidder, SD
He is buried at Pleasant Valley Cemetery near Kidder, SD. I believe the
name on the gravestone and possibly in their records is spelled KNUTSON.
Any information you can give me about my grandfather will be greatly
appreciated.
