It's an unusual family that has neither a lady of the evening nor a thief. |
If you're searching for family in central South Dakota, you've come to the right
place! |
I would like to believe when I die that I have given myself away like a tree that
sows seed every spring and never counts the loss, because it is not loss, it is
adding to future life. It is the tree's way of being. Strongly rooted perhaps,
but spilling out its treasure on the wind." --- May Sarton, 1912-95 |

My Father's words to me in 1975 still ring in my ears. "Girl, you have a million dollars worth
of information." He was referring to the St. Lawrence Alumni material I'd compiled; bios, family photos, Senior photos (1936-1962), SLHS yearbooks
(1945, 1947-1962), Student Life papers (1934-1943), school censuses and more! My original mission was to preserve
the memory of the St. Lawrence School and those who attended until it closed in 1962. I am now doing the same for the Ree Heights School which closed in 1963. (1950-1963 photos & yearbook indexes, and more! Miller High School is alive and well. Old yearbook photos and Miller Hi-Lite excerpts are being added. Stop in and read the new Morrie's Stories by 1953 graduate, Maurice Karst. Read the early Hand County News reconstructed newpapers, obits, photos, bios, history !

Cemetery is across line into Hand County), & links. 1958 WHS Warrior
Yearbook is online! ** On a sad note, May 14, 2004... last day for the Wessington school. It was
voted to close it. Kids will now be attending either Wolsey (Beadle Co.)
or Miller (Hand Co.) schools. Like St. Lawrence & Ree Heights, I hope Wessington
can be remembered. None of these schools should ever be forgotten
. Hang on to those yearbooks!! csr Neither Dad nor I envisioned an"Information Super Highway", but I'm sure my compulsion to rescue and treasure all this "stuff" was in preparation for this site. Many are looking for missing puzzle pieces, so please consider this a Research Center for "Everyone's Family", including mine: Bingham, Kenyon, Siegling, and Mast. Enjoy!! CSR |

You're a genealogist if you explain to Mom why you can't drive 25 miles for Sunday
dinner, but will drive 100 miles to check out another cemetery. |
If you have more photos of tombstones than of the kids, you're a genealogist. |
Don't be afraid, cemetery ghosts are only genealogists with lanterns. |
An eternity existed before your birth and waits for you today. |
