Of the death at Deadwood of S. G. Fargo an
old and we'll known citizen of this county.
Mr.. Fargo came to Dakota in 1863, with
what is known as the New York Colony.
He settled on a farm near Gayville, where
his family still resides, and by industry and
good management amassed considerable
property, In the spring of 1877 he went to
the Black Hills with several wagon loads OF
merchandise, and being unable 10 dispose OF
them in open market at satisfactory figures,
he opened a store, and was doing . flourish
ing business. We have uot been able to
learn the cause of his death. He was an
enterprising and useful citizen, and his
death will be seriously regretted by his large
circle of friends in this section of the terri
