I was interested to know if you have any updates since Fall of 2002. John and I are brothers interested in the line from Eugene Rogers and Augusta Allen. We know they came to Custer via Ponca City, Nebraska and previously from Wisconsin. The history is sketchy in Nebraska and in Wisconsin for Hezekiah Dunham and for Clarinda Hale. John has begun to edit a history from the 1600's regarding the family line and there are many gaps yet to fill. John has been on site in Custer to get a digital photo of the gravestone of Hezekiah who is buried at Custer Cemetery. There is no gravestone for Clarinda, though. Thanks for all you are doing! We appreciate it and would be glad to send what information we may find.

LeBaron was born Oct. 8, 1912, in Alberta, Canada, to Charles and May (Meridith) Hollister. She attended vocational school in Minneapolis, where she later worked as a bookkeeper for the city water department. Eleanor enjoyed painting, knitting and playing cards.

After several years of college and teaching to pay for it, she graduated in 1947 with a bachelor of science degree in education from Southern State Teachers College at Springfield, S.D., having completed requirements for teaching both secondary and elementary students. She taught in several area country and high schools. Dona had a boundless love of teaching; particularly teaching people to read and comprehend what they were reading. However, her love of family exceeded even her teaching, which she gave up to become a homemaker and raise her children. She married Archie Sullivan "Sully" Walters. Dona believed firmly in two things: that charity began within the circle of her knowledge and that no child should be without education, food, shelter and a protective emo! tional environment. Dona did not shirk making the hard decisions about making sure those things happened if they were placed on her doorstep. She was her own Dept. of Social Services and lived to see many of the children who came her way turn into happy, productive adults with families of their own. While she preferred not to donate her resources to organized charities where she could not personally see the results, she and her husband, Sully, opened the door to their home and saw to many people's needs one-on-one. She and Sully farmed many years near Platte and after several retirements settled on summers in Platte and winters with their daughter, Clora Karen, near Custer, in Sully's beloved Black Hills of South Dakota. As well as reading, over the years her interests also included tatting, embroidery, collecting stamps, coins and cookbooks, cooking, family geneaology and her only vice in life---- her favorite soap operas.

How do I know this? My father was her boyfriend when they were sophomores, and again when they were seniors. I have pictures of her from the 1931 Ranger (High School Yearbook). I do know she had 2 or 3 older brothers. Also that my father visited some of her family when he returned home from WWII in January 1946. Contact me.
