Theodore Gerrish was my husband's grandmother's uncle - she is the only child of Charles Gerrish -according to the 1860 census was born in 1859, youngest son of Samuel Gerrish.He migrated to the Black Hills of South Dakota when his daughter Ethel Emelie Augusta was about 3 - She lived with him until she was 12 or 13 and sent to live with an uncle, Winthrop Busselll, in LaCrosse, WI.Charles died in 1925 and is buried in the cemetery in Grand Meadow, MN.Ethel married Ford T. Elliott and raised four children --Ford Gordon, Marjorie (adopted), Miriam (adopted) and a nephew, Elliott Marston.Just found a photo of Charles Gerrish's log cabin - photo taken in 1930 - that I had reproduced for our children.
