Moses Arconge Biography, Charles Mix County, SD

County (1906)", published by Geo. A. Ogle & Co. Page 54

Moses Arconge had arrived at about the same time as Rouse and Bonnin. He used to
haul wood on Papineau bottom and elsewhere, but did not engage in any particular
line of business. He was the grandfather of Theo Arconge, the mixed blood
liveryman at Greenwood.


Hope this helps,
Sara

Bruledude,
If you would like to have the Yankton Sioux Census records from 1895-1921, I could send you a copy. This ought to give you a better idea of who was on the reservation during this time. By the way, it was good to see you at the meeting on Sunday at Marty, SZ.

I would like copies of these census records if possible. Thank You, Sandy
