The photographs of Frank Cundill, a homesteader and politician, are housed at the Timber Lake and Area Historical Society in Timber Lake, a small community on the Cheyenne River Reservation. Originally from Iowa, in 1911 Cundill joined the migration of people settling the newly opened Cheyenne River Reservation. As soon as he arrived he began making pictures of his surroundings and selling postcards of his work. The majority of the photographs in the Cundill collection were made between 1911 and the late 1920s. After living on the farm he homesteaded for 46 years, he and his wife moved to Mobridge, where he died in 1965. March 11, 2021.
