John Donaldson was known in the early Twentieth Century as the "Greatest Colored Pitcher In The World." We have been tracking his playing career for several years and more information is available at: www.johndonaldson.bravehost.com We are looking for a couple of very specific instances when Donaldson played in Turner county. We have a reference that mentions Donaldson playing in Centerville and Hurley, South Dakota. In May, 1916, while Donaldson was with the All Nations club a game was held in Centerville, South Dakota. We need to check local papers for results of this game. Later that season, in the month of June, 1916, the All Nations returned to Turner county this time to face the local Hurley sluggers. We are looking for local accounts of this game. Donaldson traveled throughout the Upper Midwest during his near 40 year playing career. Some say he would have been the best pitcher in the Major Leagues in his prime of 1910 to 1917. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in the Donaldson effort, we can send you some background on Donaldson's many exploits in other parts of South Dakota and the Midwest.

Some descendants lived in Lincoln County. Some surnames that I believe are associated with this family are MILLER, STORCH, REICHELT, HOLTHE, SMITH, GUSTAFSON, ASCHOFF, FRANCE, GERRY and GUENTHER. John NIGGLI was born in Switzerland and came with his parents and siblings to Cuyahoga County, Ohio. I am interested in when where the parents, John Sr. and Mary (STUDER) NIGGLI died. My focus is Barbara NIGGLI, young John's sister, who married William H. BESTOR in 1865 and died (when? where?) before 1879, when BESTOR remarried.
