I only found two references to Dawson in the books I have. Both were in the Jerauld County up to 1963. There was a Donald Dawson listed as a coach at Alpena in 1942 and his salary was $1250. The other reference was to a L. Dawson who was recognized at a 1922 May 30th Memorial Service for being 1 of 2 Civil War Veterans still living in Wessington Springs. Cheryl Schwartz
