Area Farm To Be Featured In Registry
BY SALLY SCHROEDER
sally.schroeder@yankton.net
MISSION HILL -- National treasures come in all shapes and sizes.
An eight-sided "polygonal" barn and a swine barn on New Hope Farm, owned by Harlan Nelsen near Mission Hill, were recently nominated to the National Register of Historic Places for their historic and physical integrity.
Nelsen said he asked about having the barns on his century-old farm listed on the Register several months ago.
"My great-grandfather, Norman Nelsen, was a meticulous record-keeper and kept the farm the same way," said Harlan Nelsen.
Nelsen is the third generation to live on the farmstead. He said the eight-sided storage barn was built for $1,325 in 1913 as his great-grandfather was establishing the farmstead. The farm was purchased by the senior Nelsen in 1901.
The storage barn is approximately 40 feet in diameter, and each side measures about16 feet wide. There is an entry point in every other side of the barn, he said.
It was built as a machine shed, but since the equipment has gotten larger with modern technology, Nelsen said he now can only store smaller equipment inside.
However, despite its size, there are other advantages to having a building like this on your property.
"These buildings are built with such better lumber than what you could ever buy today," Nelsen added.
A second building at New Hope Farm was also listed on the registry. A hog barn, which Nelsen said hasn't held hogs in many years, is unique because of its gambrel roof. The extended roof area, complete with a cupola, served as a hay loft for feeding the animals below, Nelsen said.
Nelsen said he has removed several buildings from the farm site since he retired from the military and returned to Mission Hill to farm in 1979.
According to Steve Rogers, Historic Preservation Coordinator in Pierre, it is unusual to have individual buildings nominated and not the entire farmstead.
Polygonal barns are very rare in South Dakota, Rogers said.
"Less than 40 barns of this type were ever constructed in South Dakota, and there are less than 30 remaining today," Rogers said.
"Generally, we look at the entire site and try to create an association between the community and the farm itself. But these buildings had such historic and physical integrity, there was no question they should be nominated," Rogers said.
The building needs to retain an association between the setting, materials with which it was built, the craftsmanship and how they all come together. And the buildings must be old enough to meet the general guidelines.
"Most of the historic registry contains structures which are at least 50 years old. If they aren't 50 years old, they have to have extraordinary qualities which would qualify them for another reason," Rogers said.
"Some people think being listed on the National Historic Registry restricts them from making changes to the structure, so they don't even attempt to see if would meet the criteria," Rogers said.
"The nomination is really an Œhonoriffic designation' to celebrate the historic qualities in a structure," he added.

As taken from U of Delaware Library:
William Polk Cummins, born on April 19, 1853, was the son of David J. Cummins (1824-1898), a prominent Delaware businessman and landowner, and Juliet Polk Cummins, daughter of William Polk of Odessa. A native of Smyrna, Delaware, William Cummins had a brother, Albert W. Cummins, who would later work for The Wilmington Morning News, and four sisters: Mrs. Henry Lee, Mrs. Edith Davis, Agnes Cummins, and Susan Cummins. He attended Princeton College, graduating from that institution in 1875, and immediately set out to work in the agricultural industry. Working independently as the manager of Glenfern Farm and involved in the manufacturing of drain tiles and fertilizers, he decided to take on John Cosgriff as a partner in 1884. This partnership lasted some ten years until the death of William Cummins, after which Cosgriff went on to create his own company, Cosgriff, Beck & Hazel, which dealt in the manufacturing of fertilizers as well.
Cummins was quite well-connected, and was an active member of his community. Indeed, in the words of the Wilmington Evening Journal, he was a "prominent Northern Kent Citizen." He married Sarah Esther Williams (1855-1900), daughter of the Delaware state senator James Williams, who was also president of Parvis & Williams. Cummins himself held a place on the Delaware State Central Committee, and for six years served as Director of the National Bank at Smyrna. He traveled frequently on business -- to Wilmington, Philadelphia, or Maryland -- and maintained a wide range of personal contacts. In addition, he was treasurer and choirmaster of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Smyrna.
In 1893 his health began to fail, and in that year he and his wife moved from Glenfern to Smyrna as a result. He had been suffering from kidney problems and heart disease, which prevented him from engaging in the level of activity he had once been used to, and on March 17, 1895 he died in his home.

On 4 July 1398 a grant of 100 marks per annum was made to the Bishop of London and Edmund Hampdene for his maintenance during niinority. His marriage had already (15 May) been granted to the Bishop, who in 1399 assigned it to Elizabeth, Lady Clifford, and others. On 28 July 1400 Henry IV granted to John, lord of Latymer, still under age, custody of the manors of Scampston and Terrington. He was summoned to Parliament from 25 August 1404 to 27 November 1430, by writs directed Johanni de Latymer or Johanni Latymer chivaler. He was one of the lords who on 22 December 1406 sealed the second Act of Succession and swore to support the same; and about that time his name occurs on a list of those summoned to attend a Great Council. He married, before 24 July 1406, Maud, daughter of Thomas (DE CLIFFORD), 6th LORD CLIFFORD, by Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas( DE ROS), LORD ROS. From her he was divorced and, having no issue, he settled the greater part of his estate (although derived through his mother) on his brother of the half blood, Ralph (Nevill), 1st Earl of Westmorland, to the exclusion of his heir, his sister of the whole blood, Elizabeth. He died s.p., 10 December 1430, desiring (in his will) to be buried in St. Mary's Abbey, York, "where I have put my stone." His divorced wife Maud married, as 2nd wife, Richard, EARL of CAMBRIDGE, who was executed 5 August 1415. She died s.p., 26 August 1446, and was buried in Roche Abbey, co. York.

"...Reverend Thomas Budd,1615-1670, matriculated at Merton College, Oxford, 1633, BA, 1633, MA, 1636; Vicar of Montacute, 1639; was rector of Martock, in Somersetshire, England. He became interested in the teachings of George Fox the Quaker, was sequestered to the vicarage of Kingsbury, 1646; and about the year 1657, renounced his benefice and became a minister among Friends.
Four of his five sons, Thomas, William, John, and James, were all Quakers who settled in West Jersey and Philadelphia, PA.
The Budd Family 1981: 3 centuries of Budds, Betty Budd Carlisle, p17, 18,68: He was a man of integrity, strength and intelligence and lived his whole life in England. Most of his life, except for his years in Oxford, was lived in the villages of Kingsbury, Episcopi, Martock, and Montacute, where he was a Vicar in the Church of England, and later a Quaker convert, minister and martyr. All of these villages are within a few miles of each other in the lush and beautiful Somerset levels; and Ilchester, where he was imprisoned and died, was in the same small circle. Proof of his being the father of the America clan was obtained by Mr. Robin Bush searching boxes of papers etc. from the early 1600's and translating the latin to verify the marriage and children data. These papers support that Susannah Prigge was the mother of all of Thomas's children. Marriage date listed.

BILLINGS - Terrance Terry" West, 78, an Air Force veteran and retired mail carrier, died of complications from cancer Wednesday in Billings.
Visitation is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon until the conclusion of the 5 p.m. vigil Sunday, all at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary. Funeral Mass is 11 a.m. Monday at St. Pius X Church, with visitation at the church an hour prior to the service. Cremation will follow the service. Burial of ashes with military honors will take place Tuesday at Calvary Cemetery in Billings.
Terry was born July 27, 1930, the youngest child of Robert L. and Grace Fitzgerald West. As pioneers of Sheridan County in 1907, Robert and Grace raised 10 children on a farm south of present-day Outlook. Terry attended school in Outlook through the eighth grade, and in 1948 graduated from Assumption Abbey High School in Richardton, N.D.
He served in the Air Force from 1950 to 1954 as a weatherman in the United States and Greenland. Upon returning to Montana in 1954, Terry married Donna M. Clay of Plentywood on Aug. 9, 1954, and they settled together in Outlook to raise their family.
In 1956, Terry was appointed a rural mail carrier in Outlook, transferring to Joliet, Mont., in 1982. He retired from there Sept. 30, 1988, after 39 years of service.
Terry was very proud of his Irish roots and growing up in Outlook, where he was an avid fan of the Outlook Blue Jays. He loved his family and children and instilled in them a solid work ethic, strong moral character and a fantastic sense of humor. This was expressed at family gatherings, where you would find Terry singing songs around the fire and amusing listeners with stories of antics involving his brothers and their cousins, the McLeans and the Fitzgeralds. Terry had a great love for the Eucharist and attended Mass daily (which was followed by a good golf game at the Par 3 with his friends).
Terry was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Don, Maurice, Bill, Dick and Pat West; and his sister, Rita Helgeson.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Donna; his sons Mark (Dana), Joe (Linda), Dan (Vicki) and Jerry (Janelle); his daughters, Sister Jill West, Marie Colasanti (Mike) and Julie Scott (Corey); his sister Gertrude (Joe) Vincent; and brother, Father Robert West; 14 grandchildren and one great-grandchild born in January.
Terry died peacefully on March 25, 2009, with his family at his side. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends, and the family would like to extend a thank-you to the helpful nurses and staff from the Billings Clinic Hospital. | West, Terrance (I17558568529)
