”Although missionary work continued in the Hills it was greatly hindered by the peculiar conditions and the attitude of the Indians. Finally, Mr. G. G. Ware, a layman, upon his request, was appointed by Bishop Hare to work at Rapid City and vicinity. He prepared himself for holy orders, was later assigned to Deadwood and Lead, and in the end, became archdeacon of the Black Hills. By 1904 there were six Protestant Episcopal Churches in the Hills Region.”
