[hermin1]

Correction: Elmer H. Rockwood was also the spouse of Eunice Keeble(born 1903)Roberts, SD. she was d/o Isaac Keeble and Gigiyena Canjinwin. Eunice and Elmer were wed @ 1911(possibly by Common law). Reference: 1935 SDERA Survey Sisseton Ind. Res.
Eunice herself was also married before, in 1921 to Joseph Bluedog and had several children.
Ref. SD marriages 1905 - 1949. and 1 Apr. 1932 sisseton Indian Census, lake Traverse,SD.
This poses a quandry, as one of the living descendents says that Eunice's maiden name was Robertson(maiden name),and married to Joseph Bluedog.
I will see what i can find to solve this. Please feel free to post any nformation on eunice that may help solve this quandry.
