Seven children were born into the Allard family: Gladys, Alfred Russell, Doris, Jeannette, Dean, Ilene and Beverly. Gladys was the first to start school while staying with Elva's sister. Myrtle Kampfe, near Wanblee. Alfred Russell attended his first grade at Uncle Ira Allard's home near Wanamaker. Then the people of the community saw the need for a school; Earl Keever donated an acre of land and Hillcrest School was built by Earl, John Allard, John Gayler and others. Gwen Keever was the first teacher. Thereafter, all the Allard children rode horseback four miles to school through eighth grade. Gladys went to high school in Wanblee. Russell and Doris started high school in Norris for two years, then Russell graduated from Crookston, Nebraska. Doris and Jeannette attended Wanblee High School. Dean, Ilene and Beverly each graduated from Kadoka High School. Two men who worked part time with the Allard family over many years and were regarded as members of the family were James Muthard and Ted Krueger. Prairie fires were a dreaded threat to everyone, and anytime smoke was seen on the horizon, work always stopped and people went to help put out the fire wherever it was. Once when Elva was away visiting her parents, Delia and Roy Bartley were staying with John and Russell. A fire burned closer and closer to home. John and Roy were doing their best to keep the fire away from the house but were not sure they could. John told Delia to keep Russell in the house and if the flames came over the home, not to try to run from the fire but to wait until the flames had passed the house. They could escape because the house would burn slowly, but they could not outrun a fire. Fortunately, the fire passed away from the house. Rattlesnakes were another threat to both people and animals. Dean was bitten once while climbing a haystack. He was taken to Rosebud Hospital for anti-venom serum and recovered well. Russell enlisted in the Army during World War II and served in the South Pacific Islands. When he returned he married Maxine O'Bryan on March 9, 1947 in Belle Fourch, Butte County, South Dakota and lived on a farm just a few miles north of his parents. Russell died in March of 1973 on his farm.
