Try writing to the SD State Historical Library in Pierre, SD. They have quite a few newspapers on microfilm.

Try posting on the Jones surname site instead of the South Dakota site.

I have a family tree on ancestry called Kushman and Wolff if you'd like to peruse it. I just spoke to my mother and she said that Jens was married with a child in Denmark. Anna was Jens girlfriend from Sweden who he took and moved to the states. Anna's maiden name was Hammer and her father's name was Olson. I hope this helps some. If I find more information, I will be sure to supply you with it.

Re: HVISTENDAHL

staceygail — 2010-03-15 02:14:29Z

I think I might. I need to talk to my mother and then I will write you back.

Re: Albert SWEARINGEN, d. 24 May 1938

lweber68 — 2010-03-15 00:02:27Z

Albert died of malnutrition at age 53/alone. (1885-1938)

I have him in 1900 (BonHomme Co), 1915 SD State (Turner Co ), 1920 (Bon Homme Co) & 1930 (Washabaugh Co)

Yes, I have his whole group of siblings birth/death.
He is mentioned in some of their obits. But it's his obit or death notice that I would like to find.

Re: Norma Jones

floraclark1980 — 2010-03-14 23:53:11Z

I'm sorry I know nothing about Norma Jones except what I wrote on the board. She was one of my mom's mission companions and we have a lovely picture of her that she wanted Norma's family to have. Do you think that she might belong to your family line? It's been so long since I was trying to find anyone related to her that I finally gave up and sent all the pictures with my husband to donate to BYU, but I don't think he has donated them yet, so if you think she might be yours let me know and I will try to get it back. Thanks Flora

Do you think Norma lived in Jones County, South Dakota, or did you intend to post this on the JONES family board?

Albert SWEARINGEN, d. 24 May 1938

MarilynRoth58 — 2010-03-14 18:05:05Z

How old was the Albert SWEARINGEN who died 24 May 1938? In 1905, there was an Albert, 16, Turner Co., who didn't know where his parents were born. In 1915, there was an Albert, 27, of Centerville, listed as a single idiot [Pilot.FamilySearch.org] .

In 1915, there was an Albert, 4, of Clarmont, Detroit Twp., M. E. religion, father b. Iowa, mother b. IL. I suppose that was Claremont, Brown County, although that is now in Claremont Township.

Do you know the names of anyone else in the family besides Albert and any other dates or places for the family?

I do not see any Anna HAMMER, but HAMMER was a common farm name, so perhaps she was originally OLSDATTER and that got changed by some to the Anglicized OLSON and by some to a farm or place name HAMMER. Death certificates began mid-1905 in South Dakota, so you should be able to get one for Anna. Death certificates are supposed to show birthplaces and names of parents.
