These two were the seeds of a long and storied family tree. They were one of the first to settle in South Dakota and so many from Parkston, Delmont and Dimock descend from these two. Since they passed away so long ago, are buried in an long defunct cemetery, most do not know about them.
If your last name is, Sommer, Thuringer, Loos, Thury, Stadlman, Polreis, Laber, Mayer, Hohn, Steffen, some Weber's, and Locken's, and many many more, these are your one of ancestors.
