Adelaid D. BOOMER-GUPTILL-HOCKENBARY

24JUN1895.Delhi,Delaware.Co,IA-19DEC1990 BUR:Evergreen.Cem,Delhi,Delaware.Co,IA

She married first Charles William GUPTILL(1885.WI-1928 Apendicitis)

..Adelaid was a Widow in 1930 living on a $9,600 Ranch in Washabaugh.Co(Now Jackson.Co)SD on the edge of Sioux Lands aided by brother, Donovan BOOMER. Charles had anticipated his death and made a will bequeathing the ranch to Adelaid.

In 1985, Adelaide remembered "I can remember riding in the spring seat of the wagon as my father delivered the milk to the creamery in Delhi, also I had to go with my mother when she took my two older sisters to school in Delhi. I wasn't very old when they moved off the farm to a house just across the street from the big back schoolhouse in Delhi. Here I started to school and went to school until my father moved to Chamberlain, Brule Co., South Dakota. My mother, my youngest sister, and I went by train. As we got off the train at Chamberlain I saw the first Indian I had ever seen. Little did I know then that I would spend forty-five years of my life living on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, with many Indian friends."

"After I finished high school, I went to the Normal School at Aberdeen, but did not graduate, as I started to teach school as soon as I was eighteen. My first school was the Dry Run School near Fort Pierre not so far from the Scottie Phillips buffalo fence. Many a morning when I came to school the school yard would have buffalo lying around the yard. I didn't disturb them. Some of the older boys would throw sticks and holler. The buffaloes would finally meander off the porch, not too far, but at least out of the school yard. I may have been the first school teacher west of the Missouri River to teach on the Scottie Phillips ranch in those early days. Later, I would teach at the Day School in Allen, South Dakota and at the Green Valley School near my home in Washabaugh County, near Allen."

..Charles William GUPTILL in 1918 was farming in Jackson.CoSD and described as Medium in Height and Build with Blue Eyes.
..She married.2.1936: Ralph HOCKENBARY(NE-) LVD:1990:AllenSD.
