Gary’s Comment to Duane:

Thanks for this message Duane. So nice hearing from you. I know that lots of folks know you too, but I don’t have you in my files. I will add you now though.

 Please give us a little history about your connections to Dunseith and your life in general. Our readers that remember you will be excited to hear from you too. It is very possible that many have not heard from or seen you for 55 plus years.

Gary’s comments

 I was so saddened to receive this news of Glen’s passing. Carrole Fauske Rude messaged me and I got a phone call from Virgil Rude letting me know of Glen’s passing. From my infant days the Rude’s have been very close family friends. In my growing up days they were like family. Weekly we were together many times. When I saw Glen last July he looked wonderful. So hard to believe he is no longer with us.

 We extend our condolences to LaVerne, Arliss and all of Glen’s family with his passing.

Emma Stiker Nelson Fagan (47): Lincoln, CA Daughter Kay Nelson’s email address Follow up from yesterdays blog. I was able to contact Emma Striker Nelson today. She is convalescing in a nursing home from a fall that resulted in a broken hip or pelvis, I forgot which. She thinks she will be able to go home in several weeks. Gary Metcalfe was able to provide enough info about Emma that enabled Eileen Brudwick to locate her with her searches. I was pleasantly surprised when I had a voice mail message from Emma’s daughter, Kay Nelson, letting me know we had found the right Emma. I had a very nice chat today with Emma. I was very surprised when she told me her mother was a Lagerquist, sister to John and also Edna, Mrs. Harold Woodford. I had totally forgotten that. Emma is related to the Pearson’s too. When I mentioned Charlene, she said “that cute little red head.” She told me they lived where Arnold Zeiler used to live and she said that is where Lyle Zeiler (61) presently lives. She told me she is related to Lyle’s wife Sharon Pearson Zeiler (62). Sandra Zeiler Vandal, she remembers you too. She also mentioned Rodney Lagerquist. She said her daughter used to pretend he was her doll. That would have been Kay. She was born in 1947 and Rodney in 1949. Gary Metcalfe, she remembers you well too. She also knew the Hagen’s really well and also most of the Hiatt’s and Radley’s. Emma and her family moved to Californian in 1957. When I talked to Kay, Emma’s daughter, this evening, she told me she see’s her mother often and will share all this interesting Dunseith stuff with her. I told her I would add her to our daily distribution and for her to let me know if she ever wants to be discontinued in the future. She and her mother seemed pretty interested in all this Dunseith stuff though. They are super friendly folks. Looking at the Striker’s history in the Dunseith book, I noticed that Sylvia Lockhart Bergan and Emma Striker are first cousins too. Mrs. Lockhart was a Striker. Gary Striker Nelson Fagan Janice 1655 Third St, Apt 20 Lincoln, CA 95648 (916) 434-1189 Nursing home. 916-681-1954Daughter Kay Nelson 916-645-7429 Work 916-663-1103 Reply (Striker’s) from Lee Stickland (64): Dickinson, ND Gary, Thanks, again for all YOUR efforts to keep things rollin’ about Dunseith folks. Janice Striker c/would be the daughter of Lee and Emma Striker. The last place I can recall Lee and Emma living was on a farm west of Arnold Zeilers’. Lee was a brother to my Grandmother, May Strike Stickland Hughes. May was Dad’s Mom. She lived at the nursing home in Dunseith. She benefited from the careful attentions and real care of my aunt, Joy Peterson. Both Grandmother May and Joy’s husband, Bill Peterson, lived at and died while at the nursing home in Dunseith. I was the administrator of that home from September 25, 1975 to February 10, 1977. That expericnce was the impetus for me to foster the charter of an association of nursing homes in ND. This assoc provides a voice for the pioneers of America and for North Dakota. We started with 6 charter member homes on April 22, 1977. That assoc now includes all the nursing homes in ND. The last state convention had over 1000 attendees. (((Old age is not so bad when YOU consider the alternative. We will all die from or of something if and when we live long enough.))) I beleive that Emma was a Lockhart? Janice was married to a Nelson when they lived in Dunseith. I was aware that she once lived in or near Redondo Beach, CA. Some years ago, I made an effort to contact her there but was not successful. I sure wish her well in the recovery efforts from that hip fracture. When I operated nursing homes, we had a greater than 17% discharge rate for persons that used our services. This number was for those who were able to leave to home; not just to another level or source of care. Operating a nursing home is easy, just “CATCH PEOPLE DOING THINGS RIGHT”. lgs Lee, Leland, Stick, Sticky—whatever ! (“Integrity has no price.”) Lee, Mrs. Lee (Emma) Striker was a Lagerquist. I have pasted the William Striker history from the Dunseith book below. Reading who all the Striker siblings married, they/you are related to a whole lot of folks. Gary Reply from Eileen & Mike Brudwick: Fargo, ND Thank you for the condolences, Bill & Betty Schneider Lamb. We seen your niece, Randy & Connie Brudwick Mikkelson, however, we didn’t get a chance to visit with her very long. There just isn’t enough time to mingle much at times like this. Eileen & Mike Brudwick Reply from Neola, Kofoid Garbe: Minot & Bottineau, ND Thanks to Betty Lamb for the condolences. Her cousin and husband (Connie/Randy Mikkelson, Garrison) attended Uncle Gerald’s funeral. It was fun to see them again. As people usually say, “It’s too bad the only time family members seem to get together is at a funeral.” The positive side is that we DO see each other then. Neola Reply from Neola, Kofoid Garbe: Minot & Bottineau, ND WOW! After reading Eileen’s message, my head is so swelled, it won’t fit in the room! LOL!Mike/Eileen/Wally/I enjoy each other’s company tremendously. Neola Reply From Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND Gary and Friends,Just a quick reply to Gary Metcalfe–The people are right, you just had the barn going the wrong direction. Grandpa Has bought the barn from Mrs. Lamb and Willard and moved it to our place. Your brother-in-law, Duane ‘Babe” Coleman later built a new house on the place and used the concrete barn floor as a driveway. Thanks for the info on the connection between the Lambs and Wicks. Somewhere in my pictures I have a photo of the barn coming down the road from the north, being pulled by our old Caterpillar. They moved it in January and had trouble getting up the hills with a truck so Dad hooked on with the old Cat and pulled them along. I think it was moved in ’63. John and Dan Boguslawski and I jacked the barn up and dug footings by hand and then poured concrete in about ’66 or ’67. Before that it sat on railroad ties. It was a big barn–30′ x 50′. I’ll find the picture one day and post it. Thanks Gary! Dick Reply from Brenda Hoffman (68): Greenville, SC Dear Gary, Floyd Dion asked a question about my step-great uncle, John Schick, a few days ago. I was going to send this info to him personally but misplaced his email address. My grandfather died when my mom was four and her sister two. They lived on a farm during the depression. Grandpa Schick’s wife had also died and he had a seven year old daughter, Violet. Grandma and Grandpa Schick met and married within three months (friends introduced them). It was not until I noted the dates at Grandma Schick’s funeral that I realized that she married Grandpa Schick on the anniversary date of her marriage to my biological grandfather. Times were tough and she did what she needed to do. I’m happy to report that Grandpa and Grandma Schick were happily married for more than 50 years. And we all loved Grandpa Schick – a warm, kind loving man. I really didn’t know John Schick, or Uncle John as he was called, that well but your description fits Grandpa Schick to a “t”.
