Art Hagen – Mountaineer’s 4-H club

Reply From Marlys Hiatt (’71): Dunseith, ND
I did not know that Art Hagen had received those awards for supporting the
4-H program but it does not surprise me. I remember how much Mary Ann
Hagen, Elaine Stokes and Orvin Hagen did for us when we were in 4-H. I
believe they got it going in the hills but I forget the the name of our
group. I was one of the original members, even though I was a little
young to join.

Marlys,
 
You are in this picture, so you were very much one of the original members.
 
The only unidentified guy in this picture below is, I think, one of the Longer boys. I am thinking it may be Clifford. They were nephews of your Grandma Margie’s. They often times lived with her too. Does this look like one of the Longer Boy’s to you?
 
I remember you, my brother Darrel (Bud), Marlys Medlang, Ray Lagerquist, Dean Lamb and Karen Hagen being right on the border age wise for joining when the club was formed. You and Bud are only 2 months apart in age, but you were born in different years, so that put you a year behind him. He was born in December ’52 and you in February ’53. I many have been only 5, but I remember well when you were born.
 
As I remember, you were a lone 2nd grader the last year school was held at Ackworth (’60/’61). Art Hagen and Dale Lagerquist were 1st graders. Darrel Stokes, Ray Lagerquist, Karen Hagen and Sandra Hagen were 3rd graders. Susan Hagen was, I think, the lone 4th grader, Lyle Lagerquist, I think, was the lone 5th grader, Allen Stokes, Rodney Lagerquist, Carol Pritchard, Jim Hiatt and Carol Berg were in the 6th grade. There were no 7th graders and I was the lone and very last 8th grader that attended and graduated from Ackworth. Dagney Haagenson was our Teacher.

1932 Willow City threshing crew

Hi Gary
Here’s the names of the guys on that threshing picture I sent some time ago.
Front seated: Dave Eurich Jr and Arnold Schultz
Second Row: Dave Eurich Sr, George Egbert, Andrew Stockberger, John
Wetzel and Everette Schultz
The lady cook : Gene ? Gena? Boone There are 11 people and only eight
names. So I don’t know
who the rest of them are. Maybe when some hear the names they will be
able to figure out who the rest
of them would be. That is a long time ago tho.
Thanks. Take Care
Mary
When you sent this picture last month, I was very certain that was your Dad, Dave Eurich Jr., sitting in the front Row. Even though I don’t remember ever seeing your grandpa Dave Eurich, I was 90% certain that was him standing in the 2nd row. He and your dad look very much alike. I remember your dad well and that is him in the front. Having been born in 1916, he is 16 years old in this picture.
 
My guess is that the 3 unidentified folks in this picture are the 3 guys sitting on the top to the right.?
 
Now that we have some of the names, maybe we can figure this one out.
 
Thanks Mary,
 
Gary
Standing: Gene or Gena Boone
