Carolyn Bertram (dbertram@siebring.com) Sat Aug 28 08:15:43 1999
We are searching for Eugene Townsend LAMBERTSON. He is our grandfather. He was born July 30, 1900, in Beresford, Lincoln Co., SD. His parents were Harry Alen LAMBERTSON, and Hattie Mae FITZGERALD L. Harry was a postal carrier for Beresford and worked in a creamery on main street. Eugene served in WWI and came home with a Victory medal(#045 in Medals of America catolog). After this he worked as a telephone lineman, and we think he did this soemwhere way out in South Dakota(Black Hills area?). Then worked in Hawarden, Ia. in his Uncle Ed LAMBERTSON's elevator business. He married Dora NISSEN January 6, 1926. Dora's parents were Frederick Christian(Christ) NISSEN(b. July 27, 1876 in Schlesing-Holstein, Denmark- d. June 10, 1953, buried in Rockfield Cem., s of Alsen, SD) and Anna Johanna Marie PETERSON N.(b. March 9, 1877, Denmark-d. July 23, 1955, buried Rockfield Cem.). She was born July 1, 1907 in Alsen, SD, a tiny town just south of Beresford. Eugene deserted his wife and four children on April 1, 1937. He pilferred money from his Uncle Ed's business(he later wrote to Uncle Ed and his wife). Eugene was also a gambler. We don't know where Eugene went off to, although it was rumored and mentioned in his letters that N. Carolina or Washington state could be possibilities. Eugene had three bros., Frank(d. in California), James(d. in Chicago) andEdwin(Ted)(d. in Sioux Falls). Eugene's four children are still alive and some live in the Hawarden, Ia. area still. They have expressed a desire to know what could have become of their father. Any info concerning this, even seemingly insignificant, may be helpful. Thank You!!

Searching for info. on HOLE/HOLIE family who emigrated from Gran parish, Kristians Amt, Norway to Lincoln Co. SD in 1869. Peder NIELSEN HOLE and his brother-in- law, Iver ANDERSEN sold the Hole farm. These two men brought their families with them to SD. Peder and wife, Anne JOHNSDATTER came with children Maren, Kierste, Anne Marthea, Ingeborg, Maria, Niels and John. I believe that another son, Ole, was born after they left Gran. Iver and wife, Marthe NIELSDTR brought children Anders & wife Kiersti MIKKELSDTR, Maren, Kari, Neils and Peder. John HOLIE was an Assistant in the TULL & GIBBS Furniture Business in Spokane, WA in 1897. Anne Marthe NIELSDTR was my great-grandmother and m. Peder Johan ANDERSEN/ANDERSON in Canton, SD 17 Nov 1871.

Looking for information on my ggg granduncle, Michael CLARK, MD, who came to Canton, Lincoln County, ca. 1880. Michael was born in Prince Edward Island, 25 Feb., 1849, son of Hugh CLARK and Mary GAMBLE. He married Cornelia REYNOLDS, date unknown. They had two children I know of: Mary, b.1878 and Anna, b. 1881. Michael died on 2 April, 1885, in Canton, of thyphoid fever, at the age of 36. His parents, and two or three brothers also moved to Canton as they appear in the 1885 SD census. I have also found Michael in the History of Southeastern Dakota, no author, published by Western publishing Co., Sioux City, Iowa, in 1881. Any idea of how to access local newspaper microfilms from the Cultural Historical Dept at the state in Pierre? Primarily to obtain his obituary? My main goal is to connect his father, Hugh, with Hugh's brother, John CLARK. My gratefull thanks for any help you can give me.

My grandmother, Ida Mae BRACHMAN, was born in Highland Township, Lincoln County, May l871, to parents William (Wilhelm?) and Anna BRACHMAN, from Saxony and Mecklenberg, respectively. She married James MILLER (a Scot) on 8/12/93, in Antelope County, Nebraska. Any info on the BRACHMAN's? Any idea where the parents may have been buried? Presumably, coming from Saxony, they would have been Lutheran: given the large Norwegian fraction of a small population, would German and Norwegians have shared churches and cemetaries? Did Lincoln county even have the same boundary in 1871 it now does? (Ida may be a nickname for Adelaide or Adelheidt: I have this in another branch of my family.)

ENGEBRETSON/GRANENG My greatgrandfather, Peter L. ENGEBRETSON was born July 28, 1850 in Vefsen, Norway and died March 30, 1942 in Canton, SD. His parents were Ingebright JOHNSEN and Karen PEDERSDATTER. His wife Elizabeth Marie LARSDATTER. I am searching for information on his siblings, specifically his sister Karoline Antonette Engebrightsdatter GRANENG and Mikal Christian ENGEBRIGHTSEN. I know that these two came to the US and may also have lived in the Canton area. Karoline came over with Peter on May 5, 1888. Peter and his family lived in Sioux City, Iowa before they moved to Canton. I am hoping that one of the family members would also have information on Karen Emile, Peter and Elizabeth's daughter born July 27, 1888 and came to the US with Elizabeth and Lena, my grandmother. She must have died as a toddler. Trying to verify this and where she may be buried. Not sure if she died in Sioux City or Canton. They were members of the Canton Lutheran Church.

GALLAHAN was born in late 1821 in Montgomery Co., OH to Jonas GALLAHAN and Sarah Ann COTTRELL (both born in VA). He married Aug. 27, 1846 in Delaware County, Iowa to Sarah Ann LEE, who was born March 10, 1821 in Delaware County, OH to John LEE (born in VA) and Mary "Polly" RICHARDS, born in KY. Andrew and Sarah GALLAHAN were living in Dubuque County IA in 1850 and Oregon County IA in 1860. But by 1880 they are on the census records in Lincoln County, SD for Springdale township, where they filed a Homestead Claim dated Feb. 20, 1877. Their son, George Cyrus GALLAHAN later lived in Montana and Idaho but I suspect Andrew & Sarah GALLAHAN died in South Dakota. I'd appreciate any further information about them.

Neither one married and were living on this Farm for many years. According to the Social Security Death Index, Anna may have been bornon Oct 29, 1881 and died in Sept 1962 and Gerhard was born on Jan 17, 1884 and died in Feb 1965. They were distant cousins of my Mother, Christine Elster Peterson. We lived in Lincoln County from 1928 through Sept 1942.

Two of the GUDAHL brothers eventually settled in Miner County, SD. A third brother, Ingebright Rasmusson GUDAHL was thought to have married into the ALNESS family. It is believed that he died in Canton, SD. Nothing is known about the ALNESS family or about what happened to Ingebright. Any information would be appreciated. THank you.

Update on previous inquiry-C.A. HAGAN and Lennie SAETHER/SATHER. C.A. was born Carl Andersen Dagfinnrudhagen and came to Canton in mid 1889 from Norway. He went by C.A.here. Census and death certificate records list him as Charles rather than Carl. He was a cobbler there and assume he continued that trade here. Lennie was born Maren Oline Oldatter SAETHER but went by "Lennie". She came to the area in March, 1894. She and C.A. were married 4-Nov-1894 in Canton. (they knew each other in Norway). Have not been able to locate any citizenship information. That date is not readable on 1910 & 1920 census records. They moved to Sioux Co. IA shortly after marriage. Particularly interested in finding documentation of marriage and citizenship.

I am researching my grandmothers siblings, surname JOHNSON. One brother, Herman, and his sister Ellen moved to South Dakota to farm. Ellen was married and her married name may have been JOHNSON or JOHANSSON. Their birth dates were in the 1860-1890 range. Ellen's husband died and she emigrated back to Sweden. Herman is said to have stayed on and was buried in the Sioux Falls area. Their mother's maiden name was Olivia NORDAHL.

My maternal grandfather was John JUDES, born in 1853 in Germany or Poland. He died in 1938 in Sioux Falls. Prior to moving to Sioux Falls, he farmed south west of Harrisburg(on the east side of Interstate 29. I was told by my parents that he initially farmed in southern Lincoln County near Beresford. I was told that he then moved to Mobridge area, then to Black Hills gold rush, and then came back to farm in Lincoln County. I would like to verify that he did farm in southern Lincoln County, the location, and the dates. Did he possibly homestead at this location? --------------------------------------------------
