“All Saints Day” (11/1) and “All Souls Day” (11/2)
Folks,
Tomorrow, being all “Saints Day”, the local cemeteries will be packed with folks paying respect to their loved ones that have passed on. The cemeteries will be like tent cities. Folks will be putting up tent covers today for the big holiday festivities. Today and tomorrow are national holidays. Later on this afternoon, We will be putting up a tent cover over Bernadette’s Father’s and Brother’s grave. They are buried one on top of the other. Later on today we will be going to the supermarket to purchase food to take to the cemetery tomorrow. Bernadette will be making lots of sandwiches. Many of her family members will spend the whole day and some the night in the Cemetery. Bernadette will spend part of the day at her Dad’s/brother’s grave and then she will go down to her Grandparents grave on the other side of town. She does not spend the night in the Cemetery. She generally gets home past midnight though.
Wednesday we will pick up the tent and all will be over.

Ben Iverson Farm House
Reply from Marie Iverson Staub (’60): Seattle, WA.
Gary,
In the message 1328 from Doreen Moran-It is sad to hear the Ben Iverson farm house is gone. I remember I use to spend time there when we lived in Dunseith. Ben was my dad’s brother. I always thought that Selmer (Ben’s son) would have kept that place but I guess time marches on.
In the same blog I tried to look at Sharon’s postcards. Did not get anything but it’s proably just me.
Thank’s again for all you do.

Lloyd, These ladies look familiar, but I can not place them. I know there are folks that can though. Thanks, Gary

Gary and Friends,
The gal in the front row does look like Bonnie Graham Poppoel, as
Susie has said. Mrs. Fish/ Foss would have been a bit taller too I think. Thanks, Susie, for the correction. Dick Susie Millang’s posting yesterday

Hi Gary
I think the first lady on the bottom row is Bonnie Poppel not Anna Fish. Thanks for all you do.
