Obituary index for THE HARDROCK, Vol. 13-14, 1996-97 The following is an index of obituaries which were published in "The Hardrock" from 1996 to 1997. "The Hardrock" is published quarterly from the campus of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City, SD. The magazine is supported through private contributions. Any information not listed in the fields below was not provided in the original obituaries. In cases where the date of birth is not given, the age at the time of death is given in that field instead, if it is listed in the obituary. Any date listed with an asterisk in the death date column is a funeral date; because, a date or year of death was not listed within the published obituary. If the time of death within the obituary is listed only as "recently," the word "recently" is then listed in the death date column of this index, if no death or funeral dates are available. Some misspellings may have come from the original published obituaries. The Devereaux Library is authorized to archive copies of this index for use by patrons. This index was compiled by Brian M.

Any other use, including publication, storage in a retrieval system, or transmission by electronic, mechanical, or other means requires the written approval of the file's author.
