ANOTHER PIONEER
*Salmon Maynard of Richland [South Dakota] was in town Tuesday.
He had just returned from a hospital in Sioux City [Iowa] where he was for six weeks following an operation, and is very much improved in health. Mr. Maynard will be 79 years on the 10th day of January and has lived in Union County [South Dakota] forty-six years. He came here from Minnesota and settled on a homestead two miles north of Richland [S.D.], where he now lives. At that time the Indians were plentiful.
W.H.H. Fate, Chris Lewison, Mrs. Fetterman and Celina Crill are persons living in that community who were there when he came.
**Mrs. Maynard [Mary Arvilla CRANE Maynard] and her father [Chauncey Ellis Crane] were drowned in the Sioux River some thirty-six years ago. They were the parents of six children, four of whom are now living, Mrs. Lillie [Maynard] Cook of Sioux City, and Elthina, Chauncey and Otis [Maynard], who are living on their farms.
Mr. Maynard is one of the prominent farmers of this section, owning a section of land in the Sioux valley. It is the wish of this paper that he may live many more years to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
