Our Savior’s Lutheran Church 505 S Wind St, Flandreau, SD 57006 Guest Speaker:
Wayne Fanebust
25 members required for a quorum
Moody County Historical Society Annual Meeting GUEST SPEAKER: Regional historian and author, WAYNE FANEBUST Wayne Fanebust, now retired and living in Sioux Falls, has authored eleven non-fiction books about local, state and regional history. He was born in Sioux Falls, graduated from Washington High School, served in the U. S. Marine Corps, attended college in California, has a degree in history, and a law degree. He practiced law in San Diago for thirteen years before moving back to Sioux Falls where he served as corporate counsel until retiring. Fanebust’s most recent book, No Justice for Agnes, published in 2020, examines the tragic and mysterious death of Agnes Polreis in 1906 while serving as an immigrant servant girl in the home of Emma Kaufmann and her husband, a wealthy businessman from Sioux Falls. The venue of Mrs. Kaufmann’s trial was moved to Flandreau. Dr. Spafford of Flandreau was called as an expert witness. Local attorney George Rice was hired as one of the defense attorneys. Eleven members of the jury were Moody County farmers. Hundreds of people flocked to Flandreau filling its hotels, boarding houses, and private rooms in homes willing to host guests. The repulsive manner of death, outrageous attorney antics, and other aspects of the case generated sensational newspaper coverage from coast to coast. THE GENERAL PUBLIC is invited to hear Mr. Fanebust talk about his book on one of the most notorious South Dakota criminal cases of the time. The annual meeting will be held on January 14th at 1pm at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Flandreau.
