Dear Stella, Thank you so much for the 1890 reconstructed census info for Engels! Yes, I would be interested in Farrells in the Rapid City area if you see any. You are very helpful! Sincerely, Katherine

In the reconstructed census for 1890 (Pennington County, SD, Landowners and Residents-1890 compiled by Audrey Balcom and Pat Kennison, Rapid City Society for Genealogical Research, Inc., 1990) there are: ENGEL, August C.E., age 26; wife Kate A (Farrell), age 18; resided or owned land in Rapid City ENGEL, August, age 55, born Germany; resided or owned land in Haywood (probably Hayward); wife Caroline M. (Siegmund) age 37, born Germany; Barney, age 15; Gussie, age 12; Ernest Carl, age 11; Louise K., age 8 ENGEL, L. resided or owned land in Rapid City; Lena, age 16; William, age 13 There are several FARRELL listings--let me know if you want them. Stella

Dear Pennington List, I was curious as to whether there is a death index for South Dakota, and if so, if some kind person would be willing to check to see if there is a Kate/Katherine? A. ENGEL listed between 1890 and 1899. Her maiden name was FARRELL. Her husband August C. ENGEL was my great-grandmother's brother. The family lost touch of him so he is a bit of a mystery. August and Kate married 22 october 1890 in Rapid City, So. Dakota. Kate must have died between then and 1900, because he remarried in 1900 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I would love to fill in some pieces of his life. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, Katherine

My great-grand father, Hugh Lindsay and wife Kezia were there from Aug 1881 to May of 1892. Lived in Rapid City (ran mill) and then had a farm east of Farmingdale (purchases in 84 and 87).

I live in Rapid City but am in Salt Lake right now. The Collins Studio was around the turn of the century, maybe a little later. When I return home I can probably find the information for you if someone hasn't already given it. Stella

I was wondering when this studio was in operation or if it still is..... I am thinking it was taken in the EARLY 1900's.
