Christmas at the Stokes house
Folks,
Bernadette got all the Christmas decorations out today and put up the tree. Tomorrow she will string all the tree lights with decorations. This is only September. We will be celebrating Christmas a long time this year.

“History of Rolette County” book
Reply from Myron Langehaug: Bottineau, ND
Hi Gary, I read your blog about the book ” History of Rolette County” by Laura law and was interested in obtaining a copy so I got a copy for $20.00 from Del Alvord, former Nodak Insurance agent in Rolla. Del tells me that the Rolla Kiwanis have good supply of this book still available. Could you pass this information on for anyone else interested in this book? Thanks, Myron Langehaug

Amazing what those people endured and witnessed!!- — they were of strong stock!!- imagine that!!- carrying a body no less like that into town and taking care of it without regard to “charging” anyone for that- !!_ they just did what had to be done !!– this was even before the undertaker was called !!- LOL!!!

To Lola, and friends, Regarding the piece made
in honor of Jess Hosmer, we put it in the Log House, and it was tentatively placed just to the
right as you entered the door. Your comments
right as you entered the door. Your comments
about Jess as teacher and Dunseith bank
worker echo many I’ve heard and read over the
years prior to and since her passing. Don
does not have a computer, but he’s living in Dunseith and his phone is 244 5788. Thanks,
Bill Hosmer

Bill Hosmer’s Memories of the old Days in Dunseith are always great…I too remember Bill Fassett… I worked with him during the time I was a substitute clerk in the post office…and in slow times he would regale me with tales of his time in the military during WWII….great stories….We have great folks who have lived in Dunseith .. Bill Fassett and Bill Hosmer are two of them..
