South Dakota Hall of Fame 1987 Inductee Adeline Gnirk had a love for writing, and a drive to tell the collective story of the place she called home. In this Legacy Podcast episode, her two sons – Paul and David Gnirk – share the legacy of their mother’s work to document the lives of the people who called Gregory and Charles Mix counties home.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Adeline Gnirk’s early life and the now fifth generation family farm in Burke
- Her process to document the history of her community
- The legacy she created for not just herself but for generations of families in southeastern South Dakota
“She really became known in our area as the book lady.” - David Gnirk
Adeline not only documented a history in writing, but she also amassed a large collection of photographs. She grew the history of Gregory and Charles Mix counties to seven volumes but exceeded this number in other counties, as well. Paul added that his mother documented beyond the borders of the state, too. She collected family history that went back to the immigrant families in places like Sweden before they settled in South Dakota.
