Clarence E. Moser, "Doc," was born to Fred and Justina (Arnold) Moser in Watauga, SD, on August 10, 1925. He went to the Maple Leaf Country School and to McLaughlin High School in McLaughlin, SD. He was a member of the basketball team; his main desire was to play but the coach said he wasn't ready yet. He was in charge of carrying the medicine chest. A player hurt his ankle and the coach told Doc to tape up the player's ankle. He used the whole roll, thus the name "Doc," staying with him throughout his life.
Doc started a trucking business with a new red and white semi, which he purchased. He was very proud of the semi and added two short trucks to haul grain. He hauled many loads of cattle to Sioux City, IA. He also had a Baldwin combine and made the harvest to Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Nebraska.
Doc met the "love of his life" at Martha's Café in McLaughlin. Her name was Loretta Walker. They were married on October 6, 1947, at Redeemer Lutheran Church in McLaughlin. To this union, four children were born: James Allen, Pamela Jane, Jeffrey Lee, and Paula Kay.
Doc had a love for cattle and bought a farm at Walker, SD. He raised Black Angus cows and farmed wheat and flax, still using the trucks he had purchased previously. After several years and growing restless, he decided to do something new. He purchased the Corner Bar in McLaughlin and ran it for several years. He then moved to Lead, SD, and worked at the Homestake Gold Mine. Still restless, he ended up buying a motel in Deadwood. He remodeled it and renamed it Doc's Sunnyside Motel. Loretta took over running the motel and Doc bought the Ritz Bar in Sturgis. He commuted back and forth for several years. Doc went to Newcastle, WY, and came back commenting on how much oil field work was there. He sold the motel and bar and the family moved to Newcastle. In Newcastle, he bought the Bronco Bar and remodeled it. Later, he bought Gulley's Restaurant and Lounge, which later became known as Doc's Supper Club and the Mary Ann Drive-Inn.
After several years, the businesses were sold and Doc and Loretta moved back to the Black Hills that they missed. They ended up in Sturgis again and bought the Ritz Bar back, got a liquor license, remodeled it and renamed it the Fireside Bar and Lounge. A vending company was also formed, which Doc named Hills Vending in Sturgis. During that time, the missile sites were built. Doc received a millwright card from the Denver local and worked on the missile sites in South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado. He worked in the power plants in Colorado and Wyoming. Loretta tended to business while Doc worked at the power plant in Wyoming. While working at the plant, Doc suffered his first heart attack. He decided to take it easy and sold Hills Vending to Alan Duprel and the Fireside Bar to Greg Wilt. He started to collect coins and take care of his huge trees that he loved, surrounding his home. He became antsy and found a lot and a liquor license on Main Street in Spearfish and built the Silver Dollar Bar. While acting as the general contractor, Doc suffered a severe heart attack. While recuperating in the Rapid City hospital, Loretta became the general contractor, and even though there were many problems in completing the building, it was finally finished. Doc and Loretta ran it for several years before selling it. Doc's health, as well as driving back and forth between Sturgis and Spearfish, was getting the best of him.
Doc and Loretta have lived in Sturgis for 35 years and were married for 63 years. He was a member of the Grace Lutheran Church in Sturgis.
Doc is survived by his wife, Loretta, Sturgis; one son, Jeff (Dee Dee) Moser, Carlsbad, CA; two daughters, Pamela (Bill) Clarkson, San Marcos, CA, and Paula Siebrandt, Scottsdale, AZ; two sisters, Eileen McDowell, Miles City, MT, and Linda Hord, Pflugerville, TX; nine grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

Merton Wright
November 29, 1925 - October 26, 2010
Service was held:
10 a.m. Saturday, October 30, 2010
Merton was born November 29, 1925 at Casper, WY, to Harry and Norma (Friend) Wright. They moved to rural Meade County where Merton attended the Stoneville School. He worked for neighboring farmers and ranchers as a young man. He drove trucks for a road construction crew for several years. Now we all know there is a proper way to transport horses, then there is the Wright way. Merton's son Ken, acquired a colt at the state fair in Miles City. After just purchasing a brand new Corvair car, Merton had to somehow transport the newly acquired pet. He removed the back seat, and strapped it on the trunk over the motor, to obtain space for the colt and four children. With a brand new car and allowing for easy cleanup he carefully placed a tarp and hay in the backseat area. With the limited seating, two buckets converted to children's chairs between the colt’s legs. As you can image the gas attendant’s reaction of an unusual passenger. The 200 mile trip from Miles City to Boulder Canyon turned out successfully.
In 1963, Merton moved to Portland, OR. He was employed as a marine mechanic/welder in the Portland shipyards for 30 years. Upon retirement, he moved back to Nisland, SD, where he enjoyed his family.
Merton Wright, 84, Nisland, died Tuesday, October 26, 2010 at the Belle Fourche Health Care Center.

Survivors include his son Ken (Donna) Wright, Milwaukie, OR; daughters, LaVonne (Eli) Stephens, Pendleton, OR, Bev (Ben) Lewis, Nisland, Judy (Ray) Dell, Nisland; one brother, Howard (Lola) Wright, Belle Fourche; also 18 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
