William H. Henry Todd Family

The Black Hills Region, Compendium of Biography, Memorial & Biographical Record

"William H. Todd, one of the early settlers of the Black Hills, and a popular and wide awake citizen of Spearfish, South Dakota, was born in Platte county, Missouri, January 29, 1839, and was reared on a farm in his native county, his father, Johy W. Todd, being a farmer by occupation.  In 1850, he started with his parents with ox teams to California, and got as far as Fort Laramie when the mother met with a serious accident.  In getting out of the wagon she fell, breaking her back, and the company was obliged to remain at Fort Laramie until the following autumn when the mother was sufficiently recovered to return with the ox teams and wagons to their old home in Missouri.  In 1852, our subject went to Atchison county, Missouri, and there worked at farming until 1860, when he crossed the plains to Colorado and engaged in mining about one year.  He then returned to Atchison county, Missouri and enlisted in the First Missouri Confederate regiment of cavalry, and served to the close of the war, the first year in Missouri, and later in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.  During his service he was woulded in the head, and during Hood's advance on Nashville, he was taken prisoner at Franklin and was confined at Camp Douglas, Chicago, and was there at the close of the war.  He was then given transportation and sent to St. Joseph, Missouri, and from there he proceeded to Nebraska City, Nebraska, and for a time was engaged in freighting across the plains.

In the spring of 1867, Mr. Todd was employed by a firm in Nebraska City to write abstracts, and was thus engaged four or five months, after which he returned to Atchison county, Missouri, and resumed the vocation of farming and stock raising which occupied his attention for three years.  He then moved to Henry county, Missouri, and bought and improved a farm which he owned four years, and, with the exception of one year which he spent in Cooper county, Missouri, in the mercantile business, he operated the farm during that time.  After disposing of this property, Mr. Todd again returned to Atchison county and there operated a farm until the fall of 1876.  He then sold out and in the following spring started for the Black Hills in company with his brothers, Green D., Joseph A. and Garrett.  They engaged in freighting in that section for about two years and then sold out their business and our subject purchased a ranch on False Bottom and devoted his attention to the raising of stock.  In 1889, for the purpose of securing for his children the advantages of a normal school, he sold the ranch and moved to Spearfish and there engaged in the real-estate business until he was appointed post master at that place in November, 1892, by President Cleveland.

Mr. Todd was married in Atchison county, Missouri, December 15, 1868 to Miss Lydia Hornback, a native of Miami, Saline county, Missouri, and the family circle has been completed by the presence of four children, upon whom they have bestowed the following names:  William J., Green D., Robert Lee, and Lydia J.  The latter is the wife of A. C. Potter, of Spearfish.  Mr. Todd is identified with the Democratic party.  He is a member of the central committee and has always taken a wholesome interest in matters pertaining to the public welfare."

Black Hills Weekly Journal, 16 Jun 1911

Early Sunday morning W. J. Todd, city editor of The Journal, received a telephone message from Spearfish, apprising him of the sad fact that his father had died suddenly of apoplexy.  Mr. and Mrs. Todd and children left on the 10:19 train Sunday morning for Spearfish.  The time of his return is indefinite.

William H. Todd settled in Spearfish in 1877, going there from Missouri.  He was a veteran of the Confederate army, but while in Spearfish he always marched with the Grand Army boys.  In his death Spearfish loses a valued citizen and his family a beloved and honored husband and father.

Funeral of W. H. Todd

Funeral services over the remains of W. H. Todd, the respected citizen who passed away early this week were conducted in the Methodist Episcopal church yesterday morning by Rev. J. D. Cain who was called back from a western trip for that purpose.  He delivered a most eloquent tribute to the departed, and closed with the reading of an eulogy prepared by M. H. Eustace, who was the partner of the deceased.

The church was filled to the doors and fresh cut flowers were banked high on the bier, the tribute of sorrowing friends.  The funeral cortege to the cemetery was one of the largest seen in Spearfish for a number of years.

The Spearfish Valley Pioneers Society attended in a body and members of the organization acted as honorary pall-bearers.  Farragut Post, G.A.R., and the Confederate veterans also attended.

Special music was furnished by the Methodist choir.
