Richard E. Donovan was born April 24, 1927 at Volin, SD to Charles D. and Viola (Sicard) Donovan. He attended Volin Elementary and High School. During high school, he worked for a mechanic and on the railroad as a laborer. He later worked construction, running heavy equipment and as a farm laborer in the Volin, SD and Laurel, NE areas. On May 2, 1950, Dick was united in marriage to Mae Ann Loecker at Menominee, NE. They made their home in Laurel, NE until 1951 when they moved to Miller, SD where he ranched for nine years. Dick then attended auctioneer school in Mason City, IA and in 1959 moved his family to Orient, SD. He worked as an auctioneer in the Faulk and Hand Counties selling at many farm and land sales. He also was auctioneer ring man or field man for many auction barns during livestock sales in the northern tier of the state. In 1970, the family moved to Mitchell, SD where Dick continued his work at the Mitchell Livestock Auction and with the Adams Doughterty Commission Firm of Sioux Falls. He also auctioneered many farm and land sales in the Mitchell area. In 1980, Dick bought half interest in the Chamberlain Livestock Auction which he owned for 4 1/2 years. He continued his auction business until 1998 retiring after 40 years. Dick had a natural talent as a mechanic (before the computer age) in keeping the cars of his family running. His carpentry skills served useful in remodeling his homes and creating many useful and cherished gifts for members of his family.
