Madison, South Dakota, in 1914 was a small farm town in Lake County, and its State Normal School had been training teachers since the territorial legislature founded it in 1881. The school drew young people from across the state who would go back to rural classrooms, so the campus was a source of local pride and a reason many families settled in town. The surrounding country depended on wheat, corn, oats, and livestock, and grain shipped out by rail shaped the town's prosperity. Only a quarter century after statehood in 1889, Madison was still a young community, and its residents knew it best as the home of the normal school and the nearby lakes.
