LEE L. HENEGAR, county auditor of Brule county, South Dakota, is a 
native of Lafayette county, Wisconsin, and was born February 14, 1869. 
He is the eleventh of a family of fifteen children born to William and 
Sylvina (Cannon) Hanegar, residents of Brule county, a brief review of 
whose lives will be found elsewhere in this volume. 

In March, 1883, the family settled in Dakota, in Red Lake township. In 
1895 our subject was chosen deputy sheriff, after which he ran a stage 
line from Chamberlain to Castalia one year. In 1897 he accepted the 
office of county auditor, and is at present serving a second term in 
that capacity. 

Our subject was married in 1897 to Miss Hattie Dent. Their home has 
been blessed by the birth of one son, Russell Mr. Hanegar is a member 
of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. In political views he is a 
Democrat, favors high license, and opposes equal suffrage. He is young 
in years to have been selected to fill these different important 
offices, but his judgment is of the best and his honor and integrity 
are above reproach, and the people of Brule county may well be pleased 
with their choice.
