Sioux Indian child, given the name Lucy. Parents are not listed.
From the Sturgis Weekly Record (newspaper) of September 28, 1901: An Indian baby died at the post Wednesday, and permission was asked by the visiting redskins to bury the child in the cemetery there. Colonel Hayes consented if it was found that death was not the result of contagious disease. The baby was buried, and a big war dance followed, with an admission fee. (The Black Hills Press - another newspaper - does not put the same slant on the story. Not mentioning Lucy's death, it simply states that a band of 30 Sioux Indians came to Sturgis the previous week and gave their celebrated Omaha dance).
