The body was brought to Orient for burial. He was also known as "Ike" The History of Faulk County Ike was a farmer, as far back as 1860. The last census listing of them was 1880, at Red Rock Township, Marion County, Iowa. At that time, six children were listed, all born in Iowa. They came to Hand County, South Dakota, in 1883. Two children were born in South Dakota. "Bring on the Pioneers - History of Hand County" by Scott Heidepriem Lois and Elihu Alley came to South Dakota in 1885 from Iowa and settled on a claim in the Polo area. They were parents of 9 children: Dodridge, John, Samuel, Katherine Bryant, Lydia Niederauer, Bessie Prater, Hannah Garry, Lannie McCarl and Maggie, who died in childhood. Clifford Alley of Miller, Bonnie Falkenheimer, Leona McCool, and George Niederauer of this area are descendants of this family. Clifford Alley and his wife, the former Hazel Fugate, celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary not long ago, and in commemoration, a relative told the assembled what they had been like one half century before. The piece, called "The Years of Razzmatazz", is printed in abbreviated form below. The children and grandchildren of Hazel and Clifford Alley are young. You don't remember what life was like 50 years ago. So I would like to give you a little resume of the twenties, which were called the years of Razzmatazz. This was the age of dancing with wonderful traveling bands. The Lawrence Welk orchestra played in this area as often as three or four times a month. A dashing, wonderful, smooth dancer from Orient, Clifford frequented these dances, and this is where he met Hazel. Now Hazel was in high school in Miller, and in those days Orient was a long 30 miles away, and it is really something to have a boy friend in another town. Dances were different in those days; the more popular you were, the more different fellows you danced with, so you had a program. I know now you dance all evening with the one who brings you. You kids really didn't know what all you have missed. Clifford and Hazel made a striking couple. Everyone said she was the prettiest Fugate girl with lovely red hair, and Clifford was slim, very dark and handsome, and you grandsons should have seen his long sideburns of which he was so proud, and his hair sleeked back like patent leather. Could you boys believe that Clifford was then wearing bell bottomed trousers with wide cuffs, and a gray hat slung rakishly over one eye? And Hazel was wearing a flimsy shimmy, turned down hose, and cloche hat and bobbed hair. This was the time when everyone danced the Charleston. They were married in Redfield, with Clifford's sister Nellie and her late husband Harry attending them. During the Christmas school holidays Hazel took me home with them. They lived in the large family home of Clifford's family near Polo. It was possible to close part of the downstairs with sliding doors in the parlor and the large dining room. Also, they could close off part of the five bedrooms upstairs. They had part of the huge house fixed up very cozy. On one of the bitter cold nights while I was there, the people in the whole countryside came in for a surprise chivarri. At my young age of 13, the two things I loved to do the best were to dance and to eat. Therefore, this was to be a big night for me. As we three sat in the dim light of the old kerosene lamp, we could see the car lights of the chivarri group about a half mile away by the old school house. So we turned the kerosene light lower to watch them better. Then they came on to the house with baskets of delicious food, a squeeze box, and fiddle. What fun everyone had that night. We opened those sliding doors in the parlor and danced all night. When I think back now, perhaps some of those German farm boys occasionally went outside for a nip from the bottle, but there wasn't any liquor inside the house. They all respected Clifford's wishes on this score. Abruptly on October 29, 1929, the Roaring Twenties came to a premature end. The stock market crashed. Day by day the newspapers printed articles regarding the disasters of the time. South Dakota with the drought and grasshopper scourge, slipped into an economic depression along with the rest of the nation. It had been a good time, but the part was now over! The Alleys survived all the good and the bad of the fifty years, and now count their blessings for all their wonderful children, grandchildren, and friends.
