1851 - Francis M. Gaskill - 1933
Francis Marcellus Gaskill, son of David and Martha Gaskill, was born Nov. 24, 1851, near Indianapolis, Ind. He died at the home of his son, L. D. Gaskill, in Burke, S. Dak., on March 1, 1933, having reached the age of 81 years, 3 months and 5 days. On January 22, Mr. Gaskill suffered a partial stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered.
He was married to Sarah Margaret Dement on February 8, 1880, in Audubon county, Iowa. He was the father of three sons and two daughters, one son, Bruce, having died at the age of 12 years. Those who survive are Mrs. Mary G. Dek, Arnolds Park, Iowa; Ona O. Gaskill, Colome, S. Dak.; Lewis D. Gaskill, Burke, S. Dak.; Mrs. Alma Kramer, Washington, D. C. Eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren also are left to mourn his departure.
At the age of seven he moved with his parents from Indiana to Madison county, Iowa. Here he lived for eleven years. The next six years of his life were spent with the 7th U. S. Cavalry. Most of the time he acted as personal teamster to Gen. and Mrs. Geo. A. Custer. He received his discharge in the spring of 1873 at Yankton, Dakota territory.
In 1892 he moved his family to O'Brien county, Iowa, and in 1908 took up his residence in Sutherland. He lived in Sutherland until the death of his wife, July 4, 1926. Since then he has spent most of his time with his son, L. D. Gaskill, in Burke, S. Dak. Wherever he went he made hosts of friends who held him in high esteem, because of his honest convictions and his integrity.
