In 1900 Burt County, Lyons Village, E.D. 32, sheet 1,
Hannah M. Warner, born Sept 1831 in Indiana, had six children, five of whom were alive, is with her son
Moses Warner, a newspaper publisher, was born August 1855 in Iowa, and had been married seven years to
Mable C., born May 1870 in Nebraska. They have a mortgaged house.
They haven't had any children, but Ernest Jesse Warner, a nephew born September 1897 in Nebraska, is living with them.
Rufus (January 1859) and Clema (November 1853) Bauer are also living with them. Rufus is a school superintendent. Rufus was a teacher at day schools on the Rosebud Rufus C. Bauer Apr. 12,1886 June 30,1886 $131 82 salary In 1895 Rusus is a teacher, Clema a housekeeper at the Supai school, Fort Mojave, Arizona Sotheby's Lot 417 : A Collection of Historic Documents and Articles, including a pencil and ink drawing depicting an Indian man and woman, inscribed "Drawn by a young man in the last stages of consumption.

In 1920 Clema, widowed, is living with attorney son M. Warner Bauer (wife Jennie) in Tripp County, SD. In 1930 Clema, widowed, is living with her son Moses Warner Bauer (wife Benita?) in Pennington County, S.D. - where she died January 5, 1934. She is buried in Rapid City.
Probably the student in 1880 at the Nebraska Institution for the Blind is Mary Warner, marrying David Parmalee, an employee and probable relative of the head. The principal, J.B. Parmalee, almost certainly is the John B. Parmalee who was head of the Iowa College for the Blind, Vinton, Benton County, Iowa in 1875-1876.
Probably David was the son of Alfred - an 1865 Genesee County, New York will of David Willys Parmalee says "Also, I give and bequeath to my grandson, David W. Parmelee, my watch, to be delivered to him immediately after my decease if he is old enough to take care of it and if not old enough then his father is to keep it until he is capable of taking care of it."
More on the Parmalee family is from the Hardin County, Iowa history. Henry Moseley came to Hardin county in November 1865, and settled on section 16, Hardin township, where he now resides and owns 320 acres of land. He is a native of Monroe county, N. Y., born march 10, 1818. He was bred to farm life, and resided in his native State until 1846, when emigrated to Dodge county, Wis., where he purchased a farm, and, in 1847, married Miss Sarah A. Spafford, then of Erie county, but a native of Genessee county, N. Y., and continued to reside in the Badger State until he came to Hardin county. His wife died in 1875. She had given birth to eight children, one of whom died in infancy, one at the age of two years, and one daughter, Sarah A., reached the age of twenty. The five living children are: George S., Nora K., now a matron in the Institution for the Blind, of Nebraska, where her husband, John B. Parmelee, is the Superintendent; Etta D., David A. and Hattie G.
J.B. Parmelee (sic) was still the superintendent in 1890. Looks like John, Nora, and three unmarried daughters were back in Hardin County in 1910. In 1920 they had two unmarried daughters with them. I know they aren't Woodwards, but am interested because of my uncle William Woodward Monk's attending and teaching at state schools for the blind.
D.W. is listed as an early settler of Emerson in Dakota County (his brother-in-law Moses Warner wrote the book) in the mid-1880's, so D.W. and Mary must have moved from Nebraska City.
In 1889 the Episcopal Church lists D.W. Parmalee as a teacher at St. John's Chapel on the Rosebud.
David and Mary are on the Rosebud reservation in 1910 and 1920. He runs a general store, and she was a music teacher.
A school sketchbook from the Rosebud said that David and Mary were married in 1882, and came from Iowa.
The South Dakota history Archives include:
Parmelee, David and Mary Papers (H92-59 and H95-25) 17 items
This collection offers a glimpse of life on the Rosebud Reservation in the 1800s. David taught at the day school at Cut Meat while his wife Mary assisted him. Included in the collection is a letter dated 1887 from the teacher and students of St. Mary�s School to the Parmelees; a letter dated September 2, the Parmelee�s wedding date, from Mary�s sister Mame; and Mary�s Memoriam booklet. In 1995 the Archives received 13 photographs dated 1916 to add to this collection.
It appears that Ernest J. Warner was superintendent of the St. John's mission school at the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation near Fort Bennett, Stanley County, South Dakota, in 1900, his uncle Henry Woodward living with him.
Hannah married Dr. Egbert DeBell, and died in Lyons in 1892 leaving three daughters. He then married a Bruner daughter and they moved to South Dakota (that makes FOUR? of that generation going north?). Two of the daughters were at a school in Sioux Falls in 1900.
By the time the mission closed in 1903, he must have moved to Leslie, as the South Dakota Historical Society said :
It gives me great pleasure to report that the old-fashioned hide tepee, which Hump and other prominent Sioux chiefs have been making for this society, is now completed. At the suggestion and solicitation of Mr. E. J. Warner, financial clerk at Cherry Creek and also a life member of this society, Hump and other Sioux Indians of the Cheyenne River reservation have contributed seventy-two relics to the society, to be displayed with the tepee. Mr. Warner informs me that the tepee is a splendid specimen of its type, and that many of the relics donated are very old and valuable. As soon as this collection can be brought in from Leslie, where it is now stored, we will be obliged to secure a fourth room in which to place it. By this generous contribution our red brothers have set a good example to the citizens of South Dakota and I sincerely hope that many will profit by it and swell our collections accordingly.
