From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by Gregory Times-Advocate, Gregory,
South Dakota, pages 133-134.

Jean Baptiste Columbe was born in Alsace-Lorraine, France, January 4, 1843. He sailed to Canada when he
was a young man. His name was "Americanized" to John Baptiste Colombe after he had migrated to the U.S. He
brought a crew of 12 Frenchmen to the Missouri River, along the Gregory County border, to cut wood on the
islands and bluffs. Fuel was needed for the steamboats. They navigated the Missouri River which had several
ports of landing up the Gregory County coast. These wood choppers were termed "wood chucks". They settled
on LaRoche Island which was renamed Colombe Island. Evidently, they worked on up toward Colorado as John
was appointed town Marshall in 1862 in Denver, Colorado.
John B. had married Josephine Dorion about 1860, near what was later to be Yankton, S.D. She was the
daughter of Pierre Dorion, one of the oldest fur traders in the region.
John B. and Josephine made their home in Denver, Colorado, where three children were born to them:
Jennie, John Jr. and David.
In 1871 the Colombe family journeyed on down to the Rosebud Landing at the mouth of the Landing Creek,
in the northwest corner of Gregory County. They settled here. Rounding up a caravan of freighter wagons, they
went into business hauling freight, mail and supplies which had been brought up the river by steamboat, overland
to western Dakota.
Eventually John Baptiste and Josephine made their headquarters on Colombe Island, where they occupied a
log cabin. The land on the island, plus land in Section 1 and 17 of Turney Twp. became his by right of
possession in the 1904 opening of the Rosebud Reservation to homesteaders. One spring the river gorged with
ice and the resultant boom projected such a noise, it was feared the log cabin had been struck. While living on
the island, David was bitten by a rattlesnake. John B. promptly incised the bite with his knife and bade Chris to
quickly mount his horse and find some wild snake root growing on the island. Chris fetched the snake root which
John B. chewed into a pulp and laid upon the bite.
Josephine was a midwife and delivered many babies to the new homesteaders. Josephine Dorion Colombe
died in 1883 when the twins, William and Minnie, were three years old. Jean Baptiste Colombe lived with his
daugter Jennie Mullen at Rosebud for the time they were located there. He was eighty years old when he died in
1923.
John B. and Josephine Colombe were the parents of 9 children: Jennie (1861), John (1863), David, who
were born in Denver; Josephine, Ed, Emily, Chris (1878) and the twins, William and Minnie (1880) were born
near Landing Creek and Turney Twp.

 Frank Mullen was one of the honored pioneers of South Dakota where he lived for more than 30 years. For
more than two decades he held the responsible office of Clerk of the Rosebud Indian Agency, with headquarters
in Rosebud, S.D.
Mr. Mullen was a native of the great "Lone Star" state of the Union. He was born July 6,1848, in San
Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, to Ralph and Caroline (Black) Mullen. Ralph Mullen was from North Carolina
and Caroline Black was from the state of Virginia. Both were of Irish descent. Ralph Mullen was a lawyer and
early settler in Texas where they lived until their deaths on their plantation. It was said his securities and holdings
totaled $1,000,000 at his death, but confederate money had no value in the north.
Frank Mullen went to schools in Austin, Texas and in New York. He was only fifteen years of age when he
was appointed Clerk to the Quartermaster's Dept. of the Confederate Army in 1863. The Civil War 1861-1865
was being fought between the States at that time. Frank was attending school in New York when he received the
appointment. He was unable to get back to San Antonio through the Union lines, so he sailed from Paris, France
and made his way to New Orleans and back to Texas. During 1864-65 her served as Captain and Assistant
Quartermaster of the Confederacy.
At the close of the war in 1865 Frank Mullen was appointed Clerk in the same department of the Union
sevice. He served from 1866-1869. From 1870-1872 he entered into a business in the city of San Antonio. In
1872 he came as a pioneer to the great undivided territory of Dakota where he was employed as a surveyor by the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company of North Dakota until 1874. He then transferred to Yankton, S.D.
Frank and Jennie Mullen came to the Rosebud Territory in 1880 and built a log cabin in Scissons Township.
Jennie's parents were living at Rosebud Landing at this time.
In 1883 Frank Mullen became affiliated with the Spotted Tail Agency. He was appointed clerk and the
agency's name was changed to the Rosebud Agency at Rosebud, S.D. Three children were born to Frank and
Jennie Mullen at Rosebud: Amy (1886-1948); Norah (1888-1926); and John, born June 24, 1894.
July 1904 Frank and Jennie Mullen and their three children moved to the Lucas area west of the future
Mullen, S.D. They settled on John's allotment in the NW 1/4 of Section 9, Scissons Twp. A beautiful home, the
showplace of the new country, was built by Frank and Jennie. Material for the building of the house was
purchased in Platte, S.D. It was moved by horses or mules and wagon overland and ferried across the river by a
hand-rowed skiff that was rowed by Les Cagley. The furnace boiler posed a big problem as it was almost too
heavy for the skiff.
The house was built with large dimension timbers, wood siding, hardwood floors, and cedar shingles that
were individually hand-dipped in paint. The carpenters were the Merritt Bros. and Maggrett. The rock, sand and
gravel for the foundation was hauled from land southwest of what is currently the Fred Kerner land. It was
approximately a four story house: a full attic, 4 bedrooms and bath on the second floor; on the main floor was a
kitchen and pantry, dining and living room, and a library. The living room boasted a beautiful fireplace with an
ornamental mantel. The fireplace was protected with a screen and the floor in front of the fireplace was finished
in mable stone. The library contained ceiling high shelved of books, complemented by a big work desk. Oak
woodwork and doors, and maple flooring completed the decor of the first floor. An open stairway led to the
bedrooms. A full basement housed the machine utilizing high-test gas to generate electric power for the lights,
hot water heater, cook stove and hot water heating system. Water was piped into the kitchen and bathroom. A
balcony and porch surounded the east and south sides of the house.
The house at that time cost about $10,000. It was probably built to resemble Frank's boyhood home on the
plantation in San Antonio, Texas.
Many parties and dances were held there for the community. Important people, politicians, senators, and a
governor were entertained there. The dignity and opulence of the south were brought to this wild west country by
Frank Mullen.
Mr. Mullen served as Land Commisioner at Burke for a short time and then became affiliated with the Lucas
State Bank. The Lucas State Bank was opened for business in 1907 with L.S. Lillibridge, President, and Frank
Mullen, Cashier. During 1908-1909 it was owned by Frank Mullen and Wm. Davison. Mr. Mullen operated the
bank, and Mr. Davison ran the store. Frank Mullen was also the Notary Public at Burke and his son John Mullen
was the mail carrier from Mullen to Lucas in the years 1918-27.
Jennie Mullen died June 13, 1912. Frank Mullen died July 3, 1931 at Lucas, S.D.
Frank and Jennie Mullen were the parents of three children who grew into adulthood: Amy (Mrs. John
Dion), Norah (Mrs. James Fox), and John (Jack) Mullen.

From: "History of South Dakota," by Doane Robinson, Vol. I, 1904, pages 700-701.

FRANK MULLEN is one of the honored pioneers of South Dakota, where he has maintained his home for

5
more than thirty years while for more than two decades he has held the responsible office of clerk of the Rosebud
Indian agency, with headquarters in the village of Rosebud, Meyer county. He is held in high esteem by all who
know him, is a typical westerner in spirit and is well deserving of representation in this historical compilation.
Mr. Mullen is a native of the great Lone Star, state of the Union, having been born in Bexan county, Texas,
on the 6th of July, 1848, and being a son of Ralph and Caroline (Black) Mullen, natives respectively of North
Carolina and Virginia and both of staunch Irish lineage. They were numbered among the early settlers in Texas,
where they passed the closing years of their lives, the father having there devoted his attention to the vocation of
law. The subject of this sketch received his educational training in the schools of Austin, Texas, and in 1863,
when but fifteen years of age, he was appointed to a clerkship in the quartermaster's department of the
Confederate army, the Civil war being in progress at the time. During 1864-5 he served as captain and assistant
quartermaster of the Confederacy in his native state, and after the close of the war he became clerk in the same
department of the Union service, thus serving in Texas from 1866 to 1869, inclusive. In 1870 he engaged in
business in the city of San Antonio, that state, continuing operations there until 1872, when he came as a pioneer
to the great undivided territory of Dakota, where he was in the employ of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
until 1874, when he took up his residence at the old Spotted Tail Indian agency, with whose affairs he became
identified. On the 23d of August, 1883, he was appointed clerk at this agency, whose name had been changed to
Rosebud its present cognomen. and he has since remained incumbent of this office, in which he has given most
discriminating and acceptable service. In politics he gives an unqualified allegiance to the Republican party, and
fraternally, he is one of the prominent Masons of the state, having passed the degrees of the lodge, chapter and
commandery in the York Rite and attained the thirty-second degree and been proclaimed a Sublime Prince of the
Royal Secret in the consistory of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite at Aberdeen, while he is also affiliated
with the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Both he and his wife are communicants of the Protestant Episcopal
church.
On the 25th of July, 1880, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Mullen to Miss Jennie Colomb, who was born
on the 16th of December, 1859, being a daughter of John B. and Josephine (Dorion) Colomb. They are the
parents of three children, Amy, Norah and John.

Mr._______:
My friend of the Holy Church,--I wish to write to you today and to tell you what I wish for. I am a Santee
Indian, and have been a farmer for ten years. Now they have surveyed my land, and I have one hundred and fifty

you and I are brothers of the holy church, therefore I want to tell you about my family and all that I have. I am a
member of the Episcopal church; I am lawfully married. My daughter has been at St. Mary's school for seven
years. I have a boy seven years old. I have a frame house worth $200. I have a grain house, a stable, 500 posts, a
wire fence--three runs, twenty-six acres under plough, two horses, four head of cattle, six hogs, one reaper, hay
rake, harrow, cross-plough, breaking plough, cultivator, harness, wagon, spade, shovel, pitchfork, cooking stove,
heating stove, cross-cut saw, hand-saw, axe, hammer, table, six chairs, gun. Last summer I raised 148 bushels of
wheat, 140 bushels of corn, 48 bushels of flax seed, 26 bushels of potatoes. I wish you would show my letter to
the President's house, for what I tell you is true. I hope it will bring me mercy. We are brothers in the holy
church. Remember that, therefore, I tell you this. Your brother in the holy church,
GEORGE E. REDOWL or DOWANNA,

From: "Omaha World-Herald," Thursday, 19 November 1903, page 2.

Levi Trudell and David Wells two Santee Indians who were arrested in a drunken brawl at the Klondike
hotel, had a friendly little hearing before Commissioner Anderson Wednesday morning. He listened
sympathetically the halting stories of the red men - how sorry they were, how it was their first offense, how they
had been drugged by wicked companions into doing wrong, how they would never do it again etc., etc. He
lectured them solemnly on the evil effects of bad whiskey, and released them on good behavior on their own
recognizsances threatening to send them to jail on bread and water if they did not remain good Indians.

INDIAN LIQUOR CASES ARE AS NUMEROUS AS EVER

Although the federal court docket is now clear of cases wherein a half hundred people are charged with
selling liquor to the Indians, the outlook is that there will be quite as many cases by the next term of court wherein
the indictments will be for introducing liquor upon the Indian reservations. At present twenty Indians are held to
the grand jury upon that charge.
The last Indians to be locked up in the Douglas county jail were the twelve who arrived Saturday from the
Santee reservation in the custody of Deputy Marshall Allen. He arrested the dozen Indians Thursday and Friday
they were arraigned before Commissioner Chambers of Fort Niobrara. In default of $1000 bonds each they were
brought to Omaha and locked up. The prisoners are Jessie Redwing, Henry Wabashaw, Edward Taylor, Daniel
Graham, James Brant, Charles Bingham, Willie Moose, Joe Yellowfeather, Amos Weston, Levi Trudell, Joseph
Saul, William Shaver.

From: "Aberdeen American," Aberdeen, SD, 5 February 1909, page 1.

HOLLOW HORN BEAR AT INDIAN BUREAU

CHIEF ORATOR OF ROSEBUD INDIANS S DEMANDING ANNUITIES
A Fortune Delayed
The bureau has been holding out on his tribe some $300,000 of money which the tribe thinks ought to be
distributed to minor children. It represents part payment for the lands of the Rosebud reservation, the department
maintaining that it would be a waste of the money to turn over their shares to the minor children. The law,
however, provides for the distribution, and the Indians want the cash. Hollow Horn Bear hopes to take home
about 50,000 copies of his picture on the $5 certificates.
Along with Hollow Horn Bear is a delegation of Sioux, one of whom is Chief Good Voice. Oddly enough,
Good Voice is no orator at all; he grunts occaisionally, but Hollow Horn Bear does the talking. Reuben Quick
Bear, High Pipe, John Colombe, Eagle Horse and Stranger Horse are the others of the delegation.
Colombe is a thrifty aborigine. He owns more land than he can tell about. The government gave him 640
acres, his wife 320, and each child 160 acres, and Colombe has never got far enough in mathematics to be able to
figure all the holds in the family. He lives on a 20-acres piece at the corner of his estate, and rents the rest to
white men. "White man works for me," he says disdainfully as he cranks up the carburetter of his auto; for he
owns and drives a machine.

TRIED TO LASSO HIM

Well Known Man Came to Grief While Trying to Stop a Drunken Man
Lamro, May 23 - While riding on horseback and striving to lasso a man from a swiftly-moving buggy on the
main business street fo Lamro, "Dave" Colombe, a well known resident of Lamro and the man in whose honor the
new Tripp county town of Colombe was named, was thrown from his horse and badly injured. The man in the
buggy was intoxicated and was driving his horse at breakneck speed up and down the main business street to the
great danger of the inhabitants when Colombe appeared upon the scene.
Realizing that something must be done at once to stop the reckless driver before someone was injured or
killed, he climbed upon a "cow" pony which was hitched on the street and started in pursuit. He uncoiled the
lariat from its place at the saddle and attempted to lasso the drunken man. In rounding a corner while engated in
the pursuit, Colombe's horse stepped into a posthole and fell, turning clear over and catching Colombe under the
saddle, the cantle striking him in the chest. He was bandaged and taken to Dallas, where it was found that his
shoulder blade had been broken and he had sustained other injuries.

IMPERSONATING OFFICERS LAND TWO IN BASTILE

Sioux Falls, Sept. - Securing horses from Indians on the reservation near Winner by representing that they
were United States marshals is the charge against Dave Colombe and Hine Hanson, who have been arrested at
Winner by a deputy United States Marshal.
It is charged that the two fellows arrested two Indian brothers named Bearheal, on some pretext and then
agree to release them if the Indians would give each of them a horse, which was done.
The arrests were made while C.J. Morris, deputy United States attorney was at Winner.
Conviction of the charge of impersonating a United States marshal for the purpose of securing property
unlawfully is punishable by imprisonment for a term of three years or $1,000 fine.

Notes for FREDRICK "FRED" COLOMBE:

Fred Colombe was born on April 7, 1925 in Mellette County, South Dakota, to David and Amy Colombe.
From the time of his birth until 1942, Fred lived in Winner and St. Francis.
Fred joined the service as soon as he healed after an appendectomy. At Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on July 1,
1943, Private Colombe entered into active service of the Armed Forces. He served in the United States until
March 19, 1944. He was trained as a parachutist and joined Company "C" of the 187th Glider Infantry.
Colombe served at Luzon in the Philippine Islands with his company.
His sister, Bea Mulford of Kenesaw, Nebraska, remembers Private Colombe being home for Christmas on
leave before he was sent overseas. She noted that he was very quiet and had deep dimples in his cheeks and
brown, wavy hair.
On March 11, 1945, Private Colombe gave his life for his country while fighting the enemy in the area of

18
 Tanay Hill, Luzon, Philippine Islands. He was buried in the United States cemetery No. 1 at Nasugbu, Luzon,
Philippine Islands.
Captain Charles A. Olson of the 187th Glider Infantry wrote a letter to his parents. The following is an
excerpt from his letter:
Fred's passing away is deeply felt by all the officers and enlisted men of this company. God took your son
from us but in his place he left the memory of an excellent soldier and a loyal friend. His absence from this
company is deeply felt by all of us and his deeds in combat will be an inspiration to all the officers and men
for the difficult tasks which lay ahead of us.
At the time of his death, his survivors included his parents and his brothers and sisters: Irvin, David, Myrtle,
Ruby, Leona, Lester, Beatrice, and Maria.
I am thankful for the dedication and sacrifice of Private Colombe for our country.

Colorado286,287, and died May 08, 1933 in Hughes County, South Dakota. He married EMMA ADELHEIDE
SHUNK288 1894289,290,291. She was born December 04, 1875 in Charles Mix County, South Dakota292, and died
May 18, 1964 in San Diego County, California.

Notes for CHRISTOPHER "CHRIS" JO COLOMBE:

From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by the Gregory Times-Advocate,
Gregory, SD, page 134.

Chris (1878) in 1894 had married Emma Schunk from Charles Mix County. They lived for fourteen years in
a log house on his ranch 14 miles south of what is now Winner. He was influential and instrumental in having the
track bed laid out west for the Chicago Northwestern Railway. Besides boarding the men, he contracted horses
and equipment to build the railroad bed. He sold the townsite of Colome to prospective inhabitants. He built his
own home in 1908 overlooking the town that had been named for him. Four children were born to them on the
ranch: their first child a daughter died at birth. Grace (Ritts), Birdie (McMurray) and Theodore.
Page 257
Here, in their home [home of Margaret Langdeau and George Pete], took place the infamous, bloody dance
of Chris Colombe fame. Chris had captured his love, Emma Schunk, and ridden away with her after one of the
bloodiest brawls in the history of Gregory County. George had been knifed in the abdomen. Margaret had sewed
him up and sat upon him, which might well have been the saving of his life.

Notes for WILLIAM AMBROSE COLOMBE:

From: "Fort Wayne News," Fort Wayne, IN, 16 March 1900.

The Filipino sharpshooter who loosed the gallant soul of General Lawton was himself killed by a bullt from
the rifle of a Sioux trooper of Lawton's bodyguard before the great American soldier had ceased to breath.
Private William Colombe, Troop I, Fourth cavalry, was the instrument of an inscrutable fate, according to the
Philadelphia Press.
It was this same Fourth cavalry, in which Lawton was a first lieutenant, that 25 years ago swept up the revolt
of Crazy Horse in the Black Hills and was a part of the force which compelled that able warrior to surrender.
The family of Trooper Colombe on his mother's side were among the captives which Lieutenant Lawton
helped to guard, for the Brule Sioux had taken the warpath with the Cheyennes, and General McKenzie crushed
them utterly in a desperate and trying midwinter campaign.
This trooper son of a Brule Sioux mother was not born at that time, but he often heard the warriors tell
campfire tales of the great raid of the soldiers in blue and of the summary punishment which smote the Sioux and
Cheyennes.
Lawton, already a veteran and distinguished officer, was then renowned among the Indians of Dakota,
Arizona and New Mexico as a fighter and a foe man who did not know what it meant to let go when he started
after a hostile party. And Trooper Colombe, as a tousle headed youngster scampering around the agency, had
learned to fear the name of the cavalry lieutenant as a sort of Indian "bogy man."
After many years it came about that this boy, now grown straight and stalwart man in the early twenties,
enlisted in the regular army of the United States and was assigned to the Fourth cavalry. He was so efficient a
soldier and so fearless and disciplined a fighter that General Lawton chose him to one of his personal escort or
bodyguard throught that thunderbolt campaign across the mountains and morasses of Luzon which broke the back
of Aguinaldo's rebellion and which was by far the most brilliant and fruitful operation of the war.
It was a startling series of coincidences in itself that by Lawton's side there fought and dared for the old flag a
tribesman of his former quarry on the plains and deserts of the west; that the guidons of the old Fourth cavalry
blazed the line of their killing jungle forays, and the blood kin of the lad who flashed saber and cracked carbine
with Lawton in the islands half around the world had felt the smiting hand of the leader when those same glorious
troop guidons followed in the charge.
But these things were only the setting for the scene of tragic destiny when death held the center of the stage at
San Mateo.
Trooper Colombe has written a simply told story of the climax to one of his old teachers at the Carlisle
Indian school, of which he was a pupil. This is how he words a description of the event whose dramatic power
could not be overdrawn:
"On the 18th of December 1899, we started away from Manila about 6 o'clock in the evening. We went all
night in the rain and reached the edge of the mountains about 3 o'clock in the morning.
"But Major General Lawton made us wait until about 6 o'clock before we started down the hill to meet our
hot lead and give our good friends hot lead in return. And maybe we did not give it to them.
"We fought three long hours and hard before we made the blacks run from their breastworks, and, above all,
we had to cross a river before we could reach the town, and after we got into town we had to fight our way to the
other end of it.

23
 "The blacks fought hard, because they thought they had us on the run, but there is no run in us. We lost
about 18 men in that fight.
"General Lawton was killed about 20 yards from where I was shooting at a man in a tree, and I think he was
the very man who killed the general. But we kept shooting until he fell from the tree. I don't think he will live to
tell the tale to his friends that he killed our good general."
That is all, but the narrative could not be improved by any attempt at "fine writing."
Trooper Colombe uses only nine words two syllables long in telling how the death of Lawton was avenged.
All the rest is monosyllabic. This is in Trooper Colombe's literary style, and it has impressive merits.
The young trooper's record at Carlisle was an excellent one. He was at the school nearly four years, entering
Oct. 19, 1895, and leaving to enlist in the regular service on May 20, 1899.
Major Pratt, the superintendent of the Carlisle school, furnished the following information about his former
pupil, who has so singularly linked himself with General Lawton's fate:
"Colombe was a good, steady fellow, who never gave me the least troubl. He did his work well and never
made any complaints. He was in charge of the bakery, quite a responsible position, with three of the boys under
him.
"His record as a student was commendable. He was advanced one grade each year of his stay, which is all
that is expected of boys, and seemed to appreciate the advantages offered him.
"He is not a full blooded Indian, as his father was a white trader at the Rosebud agency, North Dakota, and
his mother a Sioux. So William did not have any war paint and feathers to put off when he came to the school,
and we have no pictures of him before and after taking. He is 23 years of age.
"Fourteen of our boys are now serving Uncle Sam, and we hear of are making good records. I have received
letters from several of them. I sent a bundle of them to Washington as showing how our Indians are revealing
themselves as soldiers. Among the letters was one from William Colombe. They were turned over to Adjutant
General Corbin, who thought them so interesting that the gave them to the secretary of war. The secretary, in
turn, gave them to the president, who indorsed these favorable opinions by reading them all through."
The story told by Colombe of his part in avenging Lawton's death is very striking, and there is no reason for
doubting it.

From: "Native Americans in the Spanish American War," by Jon Ault.

Students and alumni from Carlisle maintained a significant presence in the Army, as well. In November
1899, a veteran of the Philippine-American War named Abram L. Mumper visited the Carlisle campus and spoke
candidly with the students operating the printing press. According to an article appearing in The Indian Helper on
17 November, "Mr. Mumper believes there will be no Waterloo or Gettysburg, but there will be a system of
warfare continued for a long time which will take thousands of men and money to conquer." Despite this grim
(and prescient) prognosis, Major William Ennis, the recruiting officer in Harrisburg, visited the school the
following month, and was able to enlist several older male students who later served in infantry, cavalry, and
artillery units. One Carlisle graduate, William Colombe, served in Troop I of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment. At
San Mateo on 19 December 1899, he witnessed the death by a sniper's bullet of the senior American field officer,
General Henry W. Lawton. (In an interesting twist of irony, this captor of the Apache leader Geronimo was felled
by a Filipino named Geronimo.) Writing back to his former classmates and teachers, Colombe commented,

General Lawton was killed about twenty yards from where I was shooting at a man who was shooting from a
tree, and I think that was the very man who killed the General. But we kept shooting until he fell from the tree. I
don't think that he will live to tell the tale to his friends that he killed our good General. It is hard on this Island.
Sometimes we do not get anything to eat for three or four days. I don't understand why the Filipinos don't quit
fighting, because so many of them get killed in every fight that they go into, and not many are lost on our side.

Notes for JOHN JOSEPH "JACK" MULLEN:

From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by the Gregory Times-Advocate,
Gregory, SD, pages 247-248.

John Mullen was born June 24, 1894 at Rosebud, S.D., the son of Frank and Jennie (Colombe) Mullen. He
attended private school in Rosebud, S.D. and finished his education in 1904 at the Ward Adacemy in Academy,
S.D., operated by Rev. Camfield, a Congregational Pastor. Lloyd Truesdell was a classmate of John's. Mrs.
Nash, Jay Seeley's mother-in-law, attended Ward's Academy in 1915. As the law persisted that a child be

29
compelled to attend school until 16 years of age, John had to put in his time at the Mullen School that was taught
by his sister, Mrs. Amy Dion, until he was sixteen. He had learned all his sister taught, in the other schools, so to
pass away the day he read, prepared his assignments, and read some more. Here he met Victoria Morin.
In 1912, John Mullen and Victoria Morin were married by Father F. J. Guessen from Gregory, S.D. in his
parent's home. They made their home in his father's beautiful house; later they moved to the log cabin, which was
built by his father, in Section 4, Scissons Twp.
Victoria Morin was born August 10, 1895 at River Point, close to Providence, Rhode Island. She was the
daughter of Peter and Matilda (Saucier) Morin, who were of French descent and originally came from Quebec,
Canada. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Morin and five children, Anthony, Delia, Joseph, Louis and Victoria, immigrated
from Rhode Island to Elk Point, S.D. with Matilda's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Antoine Saucier, and her grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Desjarlais.
Victoria recalled the first day she went to school at the Mullen School. Her aunt, Mary E. Saucier, took her
to the sod schoolhouse in a one-horse buggy. Victoria was frightened and would not get out of the buggy. Stella
Noel came over to the buggy, took her by the hand, and led her into the schoolhouse. That was the beginning of a
long friendship.
In reminiscing, John recalled when he lived on the Rosebud, "We tell of the grasshoppers in the early 1930's,
so thick they blotted out the sun, but in 1904 the mosquitoes were so thick and big one had to dress heavy, wear
gloves, and a face mask. On the neck of a white horse they were so thick a swipe of the hand would leave the
horse's heck red with the blood of the mosquitoes." This was a very wet year, due to so much rain.
In 1911 Henry, the only son of Charles Wienrich, died. John and Albert Flaherty dug the grave. The rough
box was too short for the coffin, so John had to drive to Burke to get a longer box. That evening he and Albert
were lengthening the grave and out of the house came Alva Wiedeman carrying something in a blanket.
Immediately they became concerned as they supposed Alva was bringing out the boy's body and they were not
ready. However, that something in the blanket turned out to be a jug of warming-up concoction. This concoction
warmed them up; so much so that when a passerby in a buggy drove by, John lifted the lantern up and down about
3 times out of the grave. The startled traveler immediately took off with all the speed his team could muster.
In 1926 John's sister Norah Fox died and they raised her son, John Fox. John and Victoria lived out on the
ranch until November 1, 1956. He had been appointed County Assessor for Unorganized Townships in 1952-55.
He was appointed Director of Equalization in 1955-58 and was also County Weed Supervisor for 5 years.
In 1962 John and Victoria celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. They had been married September
1, 1912 at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mullen of Mullen, S.D. John and Victoria Mullen were
the parents of five children; three of whom survived to adulthood: Jennie (1913) married Walter Moyer, 3
children, Larry, Gail Tietgen and Vicki Davis; Frank (1915) married Lila Kerner, one daughter Ann Ertz; Amy
(1917) married George Burcum, children Caroline and George K. Joe died his first year of life from pneumonia,
and Josephine was 4 years old at the time of her death.

Notes for SAMUEL "SAM" JUSTUS EMERY:

From "The Saga of Sully Flats," by Adeline S. Gnirk, published 1977, by Gregory Times-Advocate, page 74-
75.

Those men who helped make Gregory County the fine and rich land it is were honest, hard-working men who
gave a dollar in labor for each dollar earned. Their work day was from sunup to sundown, not eight hours a day
or forty hours a week as today. Their pay was about thirty dollars per month, or more if they could qualify for the
job.
As to what a cowboy was made of; it was a Stetson hat, bibless trousers, and high heeled boots. A vest to
carry his Bull Durham, cigarette papers, and matches was a must. When and old time cowboy was asked what
Bull Durham was made of, he replied, "Just what the name implies - bull ____ and a little tobacco." It made good
smoking so they all carried a good supply.
Some or the cowboys wore chaps for protection while riding. Spurs were used by most cowboys, not to
abuse the horse, but to help control it when roping or cutting cattle. A good saddle and ropes were required for
ranch work. No quarter horses were raised in the early days of 1890 or 1900, but the horses were well trained. A
good horse and a good rider were a fine pair when working together.
Some early cowboys were: John and Bill Dion; Sam, Dick, and Joe Emery; John, George, Frank and Claude
Sully; Frank Dimond, Ole Dahl; Ore Unglaub, Joe Reynolds, Matt and Joe Crilly. Frank Kenzie was an
outstanding cowboy and should have had his name in the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Most of these have passed on, with a great many more not mentioned here.
Page 148
The Gregory Buttes or "Little Pikes Peak" was a lookout used by the Indians to spot Indian war parties,
buffalo herds, wagon trains or a lone horseman of the white race moving into or through their hunting grounds.
The buttes were landmarks for the white man's wagon and team to point their way into Gregory County. The
early ranchers located their cattle and horse herds from the Buttes for the roundups held in Dixon and at the Ben
Turgeon ranch in what was later Turgeon Twp. in the Whetstone Valley. In many of these roundups were cattle
numbering in the 32,000's gathered together. Cows, bulls, heifers, steers and calves were picked out by their
respective owners. They were roped and thrown by cowboys on their horses to be branded, de horned and
earmarked. One trail boss was Ole Severson, and a few of the riders were Sam Emery, Joe Turgeon, George Pete,
John Ham and Carl Nelson.

2 U.S. SOLDIERS TELL OF NARROW ESCAPE WHEN CUT OFF BY REDS

SLIP THROUGH ENEMY ENCIRCLEMENT AND HAIL OF BULLETS TO REJOIN UNITS
By William R. Moore
An Advanced American Command Post In Korea, July 9. (Delayed) (AP) - Sgt. David Colombe, 34, a Sioux
Indian from Winner, S. D., and Cpl. Van Bullman, 21, of Alexander, N. C., walked into this command post today
and reported they had been playing hide and seek with North Korean troops since July 5.
Stranded deep in enemy territory by a Red tank penetration, they had slipped along a mountain ridge between
valleys full of Communist soldiers in order to reach the front and get back to U.S. forces.
With Colombe and Bullman was Capt. Cho Dong On, 24, one of the five members of the South Korean army
the Americans ran across on the second day of their trek. The Koreans also were trying to get back to friendly
troops. Four rejoined their units and the captain helped the Americans find their command post.
Stranded July 5
"We went out on the Fourth of July and they attacked on the fifth," related Bullman, a slight youth with heavy
blond stubble on his chin. "We were on these two hills," he said, pointing to his knees, "and they came through
just like this." He sliced his hands between his knees.
Bullman said Americans fired bazookas at the 32 tanks in the Red column, but never stopped one of them."
"We knew the Red infantry would be along behind, so all of us got on one hill."
The Red infantry passed on both sides of the hill and all but encircled it.
"There must have ben a thousand of them for sure," the corporal continued. "The only way out was covered
by crossfire - and that's where we got out."
Bullman said enemy fire spat at them every time they moved. Repeatedly they ran short distances and dived
for cover as bullets kicked up ground around them.
Died Five or Six Times
"We must have played dead five or six times," Bullman said.
They crawled down a valley and were nearly exhausted when they reached a village where a 16-year-old
Korean boy, able to speak English, let them stay in his home. The boy's frightened parents asked them to leave
about 4 a.m. They moved up to a ridge and at first struck north, thinking they would cross the enemy's rear. But
the Red Columns were too long and they headed southwest. Once they saw the Red soldiers only 200 yards away.
They joined the South Korean troops later in the day.
The Koreans were able to get rice from friendly villages along the way. About 4 a.m. Saturday the party
reached the front line and slipped under a bridge held by the Reds. From then on it was only a matter of more
walking.
Bullman had a small shrapnel nick behind the right ear but it was his legs that troubled him.
"They sure are tired," he said.

 From: "Rapid City Journal," Obituary, 17 November 2003.

David Colombe, 88, Rapid City, died Sunday, Nov. 16, 2003, at Fort Meade Veterans Affairs Medical
Center. Survivors include four sons, Les Colombe, Portland, Ore., Bill Colombe, Leonard Colombe and Jim
Colombe, all of Rapid City. Arrangements are pending with Osheim-Catron Funeral Home in Rapid City.
___________________________________________________________________
David is 85 years old and still drives, mows his lawn, and does most of the upkeep on his home. He has been
married for 66 years to Josephine and they are both pretty active.
David is an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux tribe. He received numerous honors while in the U. S.
Army. He received the Distinguished Service Cross, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart, the Presidential Unit
Emblem, the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with two Bronze Service Stars, WW II Victory
Medal, Army of Occupation Medal with Germany Clasp, the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean
Service Medal with one Silver and one Bronze Service Star, Expert Infantryman Badge, Combat Infantryman
Badge, Honorable Service Lapel Button, and the Sharpshooter Badge with Rifle Bar.
David was identified in a book about South Dakotans who were decorated as follows:
"On November 26, 1944 in Germany, armed only with a trench knife, leaped in to an enemy fox hole and
single handedly captured two Germans. Securing a hostile auto rifle he worked his way behind the enemy lines
killing seven Germans and wounded many more as they were attempting to withdraw. His deadly fire
demoralized the enemy force, resulting in the collapse of their defense.
Colombe has much of the blood of the original Americans running in his veins and this feat reflected not only
great credit on the American Army but on the Sioux Nation as well."

26 July 2001

David was wounded in South Korea, 27 July 1950. He was wounded in action by a missile, and was later
returned to duty. He was serving in the Infantry, 24th Division.

NORTHWESTERN EXTENSION
Dakota Press and Dakotan: Official announcement is made public through the Times of Colome, Tripp
county, of the extension of the Northwestern railroad west from Dallas, and is the first authentic information the
public has received of the route adopted for the extension of the Gregory county line. The official information
comes through a right-of-way notice served on Bertha Colombe, as Sioux woman, and also upon other members
of the Colombe family, that the Chicago and Northwestern company has filed with the secretary of the interior at
Washington a written application to locate its line of railroad through and across the premises hearinafter
described. The description fo the premises follows in the notice, showing that the line will run through the
allotment belonging to Bertha Colombe, which takes it throught the present town of Colome, about twelve miles
west a mile or two north of Dallas. This settles the question as far as Colome is concerned. The officers serving
the notices stated that the next point where it was necessary to serve notice on the owners of allotted land was
about six miles northwest of Colome, which would be in the direction of Lamro, the county seat.

"Home Burns"
Fire, the cause of which has not been determined, did extensive damage in the James Moulton home on
Maple steet about 3:00 p.m. Thursday. The blaze was reported by Mrs. Evelyn Temple when some youngsters
told her "there was something wrong at Moulton's." Mr. and Mrs. Moulton were not at home at the time.
Two trucks and a complete compliment of men were required to bring the flames under control and confine
the major damage to the living room in the front of the house.
Fire Chief Roy Green stated that the damage has not been estimated but it will certainly be extensive.

According to Fern's sister, Ileen Emery, who was living with them at the time so that she could attend the
Traverse City Senior High School, she was the cause of the fire. Before the family left that day Ileen had been
smoking on the couch and put the cigarette out in an ash tray on the arm of the couch. She believes that that was
the cause of the fire.

Richard was born to Fern Emery out of wedlock. He was raised as the son of his grandparents, Samuel and
Harriet Emery. He and the family did not find out the secret until he joined the Navy. He needed his birth
certificate to join, and learned from this. His Baptismal Record lists him as Richard Sam (Morrison) Emery, son
of Roger Morrison and Fern Emery, adopted by Sam and Hattie Emery. Richard knew his father as Roger
Manion, not Roger Morrison. A Roger Manion as living on the Rosebud Reservation in 1930 that may have been
his father.

He is called Richard Samuel Emery on his second Certificate of Baptism which was issued by Rev. Louis
Fohls, June 16, 1944 at Kingsley, Michigan. It also lists Sam and Hattie Emery as his parents.

Richard was given the middle name Wayne when he was born. His grandparents, Sam and Hattie Trudell,
who raised him, gave him the middle name of Samuel, but he reverted back to Wayne when he joined the Navy.

According to his Certificate of Discharge, United States Coast Guard, Richard served in the Merchant
Marine on the ship "Joseph Murgas" from January 13, 1945 until his discharge March 16, 1945 in New York.

According to his Seaman's Certificate of Identification, he was 5 feet, 4 1/2 inches tall, with brown hair, blue
eyes, and a fair complexion.

Richard adopted Christopher Emery in 1981 in Pascagoula, Mississippi. He is the biological grandson of
Dolores (Beaulieu) Emery.
