Bruno Cournoyer, a French Canadian, came to Papineau bottom about 1868 and lived
on land joining Ge. Campbell's. He and his Sioux wife have lived in Charles Mix
county ever since. His name appears quite frequently in the records of the early 
organization of the county. He also served as county commissioner under the
regular organization. In 1886 he removed to his wife's allotment near the lake,
where he died in 1904.
