Looking for the Pilloud Dunseith family history
Message from Pamela Pilloud:

Hello There—

I go on your siyte now and then but never came across photos of my family who were from Dunseith & Bottineau/

I know little about thier bithplace , where the family attended school- I have next to none of the pictures of my family. I was born in Bottineau at St Andrews Hospital====

Could you p;ease get photos of the following people of my family:

Henry Pilloud ( Earl Sr-)—my Father
Frances Kjensrud Pilloud my mother—
Their children—-Baby Robert —-Lavern, Gloria, Earl Jr , George, even me Pamela as a baby or where baby Robert is buried—-I searched for Robert many years/

Then my Aunt Theresa Krieg who own the Gas Stastion in Dunseith. ( the one in the wheel chair )

Thank you for helping me—I am Henrys daughter ( Earl Sr ) and I would love to find any photos of my family—-if you know where Robert is buried please let me know—-it could be under Hagen or Hanson or Earl even as he was born out of wedlock.

Pictures of my Dad would be just wonderful even his rodeo photos back in the 30’s

I am getting very old and would like to see some photo of my Dad’s roots—-aND OR WITH HIS WIFE fRANCES.

Thank you so much for helping me find my family

Respectfully submitted—-Pamela Pilloud

More memories of Art Seim’s auction sale
From Dick Johnson (’68): Dunseith, ND

Gary and Friends,

I do have a couple more memories from the day of Art Seim’s auction besides the two I mentioned a few days ago. I have always been interested in old guns that have a history from the area. Art had a Winchester 1894 lever action 30-30 carbine that I sure would have liked to have been able to buy at the sale but I didn’t have enough money at that time to bid on it to anywhere near the amount it eventually sold for. I don’t remember the amount anymore but it was more than I could afford. Art had somehow gotten the rifle from someone in the House family and it was locally called ‘the House gun’ which was well known by most of our neighbors. The day of the auction, Obert Medlang had the winning bid and within the past few months, I was talking with Obert’s son, Owen, and he said he still has the old rifle and knows the history of it so I think that’s interesting. The day of the auction, I was helping get things loaded after the sale was over and was walking across the yard when Leo Poitra yelled, “LOOK OUT!” I froze in my tracks and turned my head to see a mower sickle just a few inches from my face sticking out the back of a pickup over the end gate. I hadn’t seen it and I give Leo credit for saving me from what would surely have been a vicious injury to my face or eyes had I walked a few more inches. It was so close that I never forgot the incident. Close calls seem to stick with a guy. Thanks Gary!

Jim and Ella Metcalfe Family memories

Gary and Dunseth friends.
LOLA’s Photos

Lola Metcalfe

Lola enjoyed connecting with people.

She was especially fond of a good visit with many neighbors, dear friends and family.

Lola took teasing in stride from my brothers who enjoyed her (blonde) reactions with quick laughter to their practical jokes. She was also known to have the ability to give a tease right back.

Like Jim her father, Lola was assertive. She never was afraid to stand up and speak (share) her opinions. She had no tolerance for behavior, which hurt others, especially those she cared deeply about.

Like her mother Ella, Lola’s home was open and inviting to extended family, friends and neighbors. Strangers she met at the farm were not strangers long. She’d put on strong Norwegian coffee, treat or two from her reservoir of goodies and settled in to a good visit..

As Lola aged, her mannerisms became more like her mother.

My siblings and I would comment to her on this point and she would glow with pleasure to be compared with similar characteristics of her mom.

Aunt Ella was not only a beauty on the outside. She carried all the beautiful, positive qualities of character.

My dad said when he was a boy; his big brother Jim was smitten with
Ella Evans and she with him. Their love story endured many years and mutual respect was clearly evident to all of us throughout their lives.

Picturing Uncle Jim and Aunt Ella together in my minds eye. Humming comes on my lips with a melody following behind. I first heard a melody at one of Jim & Ella’s daughters (Helen) wedding celebration at the Odd Fellow’s (?) Hall here in Bottineau.

Leaving the hall with my parents the stars covered the sky on a warm summer night. Fainter and faintein harmony Jim and Ella’s children gathered in song around a piano.

Folks,

I’m making this a fast one today. Bernadette and I are leaving shortly this morning for Boracay, Philippines. We are going on a 3 day 2 night excursion, so we’ll be back Wednesday evening. Boracay is a little Island located about 200 miles NW of us. The island is only about 4 miles long and about 3/4 of a mile wide. We’ll be flying to a near by island and then taking a boat (2 miles) over to Boracay. Boracay’s beaches with the fine white sands are ranked #6 in the world with some of the literature I’ve read. Boracay is a well known tourist resort. We have always talked about going there, but never have.

With us being gone, I will not be sending out a blog for the next 2 days. Please keep your messages coming though. I’ll catch up when I get back.

Boracay Regency beach resort

From Vickie Metcalfe (70): Dunseith, ND.

Gary thanks for your response, below in the Peterson information recently sent by way of Dick Johnson,

#4, Emma Peterson m. Bill Childs children Billy and Donny…….They attended country school Seim School land owner unknown which was known previously as Oakes School located on the Metcalfe Farm SW corner of Holmes Township. All connected to the Lude Peterson Family

also please note #5 Vida Peterson m Jess Wilson……. Arla (Wilson) Hall long time former teacher at Bottineau school and many country schools is I believe a Wilson. I see Arla Hall out with other retired teachers, former country schools and Dunseith School ie. Millie and Marie Parrill their sister Jeannie Walker

Vickie,In Gary’s message he sent me it shows a Billy Dean Childs born in Bismarck and Died in Dunseith in 1942. I think this could be the boy. I should have read his message first. Does this sound right? I remember Mom talking about this little boy being killed but never the year–just that he was 8 years old. His mother was Emma Peterson Childs, according to Gary’s Peterson family history. I’ll forward the page from Gary–actually from Vance Bailey. Thanks.

Dick

Yes, you are correct about Billy Dean Child’s. I’ll fwd these to Nancy…..since she does recall alot of stuff. I remember, the Child’s had another younger child too. I wonder if they came back once or not…I think Jim and Ella Metcalfe, while Jim was in partnership with Berg construction out of Seattle lived for a time in Spokane during the war, visited with the Peterson clan often, Jimmy or Gary Metcafe would recall this.

All nine of their grandchildren were here for the event. They are (Russell) and Holly Lagerquist of Butte, Montana, and their grandaughter, McKenzie of Bismark.

Approwimately 50 friends and relatives enjoyed supper after the open house at the Peace Garden, visiting and reminiscing. Relatives and freinds came from North Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, Colorado, and Canada.
