I am not sure if they have copies. I do know they have microfilm copies at the SD State Historical Society at 900 Governors Drive, Pierre, SD 57501-2217. Phone 605 773-3458. It would cost you approximately $10.00 for a single search. I could look in the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, sometimes there were some mention of a death in the surrounding areas. The Sioux Valley Genealogical Society has a book of cemetery records for the surrounding area in Minnehaha County which is where Dell Rapids is located. Also you can check Dell Rapids' web site to get cemetery records at www.dellrapids.org to see what you can find. Donna at [email protected]
