Thank you again for all the helpful information. I have contacted the Deadwood library and have asked for copies of the articles you had given me.

I am sitting here trying to imagine what life in Lead and Deadwood whould have been like for them in 1891. I have often wondered what they looked like and how Jacob Jr. and Margueritte died.

I also found some land records in The South Dakota Land Patents Database. They had a fram/ranch in Hot Springs,Fall River County.

I searched the South Dakota Archives and found them in the 1st and 2nd papers index. I requested copies of those records and am trying to find out what part of Austria they came from.

Thanks again for sending me in the right direction! Mary LaPorte Konosky
