Carl Grimme Shoe Shop was in the little Bld.just North of Ray Wilson, Keith there were 5 Gas Station , 4 creameries. Brossard and Godfrey Barber Shop was just South of the Drug Store where Jess Wilson was. later on I think a Davis & Belgarde? was there. Where the Lumber Yard is, across the street was the City Hall, It burned down in 1931 New Years Eve. There were 6 Groc. & Dry Goods store. 2 Lumber Yards I hauled freight to all those places, My Dad had the Dray Line.

Dick Johnson’s memory of the past.
Folks, The following is email exchanges between Dick Johnson, My Cousin Audrey Hanson Aitchison and myself. Gary
Dick
Gary,
I guess I would like to ask you if there is a guy named Art Hanson who is a
brother to Jean and Audrey or if it could have been their uncle or some
other type relative. I can see him in his shop. He was taller and thin
and had gray hair and glasses back in the 70s. I hope I don’t have him
confused with someone else and not related to the Morinville/ Hanson
bunch. Did they have another uncle/brother/relative you know of. I think
this guy lived alone.

Hello Audrey,
Dick Johnson is thinking that you may have had an uncle that had an upholstery shop in Dunseith. Did your dad have a brother by the name of Art? His is thinking that the upholstery guy may have been related to Frances? What is your memory of all this?
Thanks,
Gary
Audrey
Hi Gary,
Yes, Art Hanson and Frances (Hanson) Morinville were Dad’s brother and sister. Art had an upholstery shop in Dunseith. He later moved to Paso Robles, CA with his daugher, Judy.
Audrey
Thank you Audrey,
This has been discussed in the last few daily blogs. We were thinking that you were probably behind reading some of them.
It is a rare occasion that Dick’s memory fails him.
Thanks again,
Gary

From Ron Bergman: Bottineau, ND
Ron, It’s great hearing from you. I look forward to seeing you, when I am back in the area, with your morning coffee breaks at the Bottineau Bakery.
Folks, Ron is the owner of the ‘Bergman Agency’ store on Main Street. He has been there many years. He has the area that used to be Brandt’s and then Soland’s Standard. His wife Sandra is the owner and operator of the ‘Sandee’s Hallmark’ Store directly across Main Street from his store. Gary

It is John Gillies, not Gillis. This is the same Gillies family as Doc Gillies who was married to Cooney McKay’s sister, Ellen.
