  Notes	In 1883, Ferdinand Gamache, with his wife, Julia Lambert Gamache, came to Dakota Territory from Dayton, Minnesota. They lo¬cated in Hickman Township on land now owned by James Reints. Mr. Gamache filed the first claim in Hickman Town ship and with a final payment of four dollars on March 20 , 1890 he received a patent on the land. They had ten children, who were: John, Julie, Louise, George, Peter, Georgiana, Ida, Cecile, Fred, and Philip. Mr. Gamache put up a sod shanty, which was their home until a two story frame house was built several years later. Here the Ga¬mache's passed through all the ups and downs of pioneer life. In 1902, they returned to Minnesota to live. On a visit to South Dakota, Mr. Gamache died and is buried in Langford's Catholic Cemetery. Mrs. Gamache is also buried there.
