Henegar Tuesday - 1933 Resident of County 50 Years and Enjoyed Wide Acquaintance Few men in Brule County were better known than Lee Henegar. He had lived here for fifty years and at some time made all three towns of this county his home. Having been a candidate for office many times, he became acquainted with everyone in the country, and everybody liked him. Son of sturdy pioneer parents, Lee L. Henegr was one of a family of 9 boys and 7 girls. He was born at New Diggings, Wisconsin on February 14, 1871. His body was consigned to the earth from which he came on the 62nd anniversary of his birth. Lee was a lad of 12 years when his parents moved to the territory of Dakota to establish a new home in the West. It was the spring of 1883 when the family located on a homestead in Red Lake Township, south of Puwana, and where they continued to live for many years. There Lee grew up to young manhood and when 23 years of age he was appointed Deputy sheriff by the then Sheriff of Brule County, James Morgan. After serving out his deputyship, Lee and his brother Frank obtained the stage line that operated between Chamberlain and Old __stalia, a town of some 52 miles south, in Charles Mix county. Stage driving itself was an undertaking that forestalled any but the strongest men. They must be good horsemen, courageous, ready for anyemergency, yet courteous to their patrons. He fully measured up to these qualifications. Lee was elected county auditor of Brule County in 1896, was re-elected two years later, serving the county well for two terms. For the next four years we find him deputy county treasurer under the then treasurer, Joe Stocks. Two years later he was candidate for county treasurer, was elected and re-elected for a second term. Few men have a longer or more efficient record as a county official. In 1911 he undertook the comparatively new business of operating a picture show in Kimball, which he sold within a year and moved his family to Mitchell, where they lived for 12 years, returning to Chamberlain in 1924. Their home has been here since that time, and for the past several years Lee has been city auditor, which position he held at the time of his death. On June 24, 1896, Lee was married to Harriet E. Dent, Daughter of another well known pioneer couple, Wilson and Laura Dent. Two children were born to this union, Russell D. Henegar, now of Sioux Falls, and Eileen, at home, who with the wife and mother survive our departed brother. There are two grandchildren, Doris Louise and Dale Le Roy Henegar. Of the large family of brothers and sisters, all lived to middle life or beyond. Three brothers have preceded Lee in death, Marve, Sam and Ed. Also three sisters - Kittie, Emme, (Mrs. J. W. Newman of New Diggings, Wisconsin), and Sadie ( Mrs. J. W. Nichols of Mobridge, South Dakota). The sisters who survive are Della (Mrs. E. J. Zimmer of Mobridge, SD), Mattie (Mrs. B. M. Gishwiller of Mitchell), Vina (Mrs. J.W. Stransky of Plankinton). Minnie ( Mrs. F. L. Spaulding of Reliance). The brothers are Tom and Charley of Pukwana, Frank and Ernest of Chamberlain, and Willis of Rapid City. Lee Henegar became a member of the Masonic Lodge in Chamberlain in 1905. He was raised to the degree of Master Mason in April of that year. He also became a member of Pilgrim Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; of Brule Commandary, Knights Templar, all of Chamberlain; and the Order of the Mystic Shrine in Sioux Falls. He maintained his membership in these ancient and honorable bodies and his life was such as to shed honor and luster upon the teachings of Free Masonry. Lee Henegar was taken to his bed two weeks ago with the prevailing epidemic of typhoid, which in itself was not severe, but a complication of kidney disease developed, and his spirit departed at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, February 12, 1933. Funeral services were held at the Masonic Temple Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. J. A. Klein officiating, and officers of the lodge conducting the ritualistic service, all of which, with the musical numbers and flowers were impressive and beautiful
