Who was the person responsible for the quote, “off again, on again, gone again, Finegan….1953. Bonnie…Janice????
To Hosmer’s
What family was Hazel Olson from? He was a very professional clerk at Hosmer’s.
Just to let the readership know that the fun wasn’t all with the common people. One day at Hosmer’s Store, Judge Lawston from Rolla , Margaret Seims father-in-law, was the victum. One of his old croney’s decided to even the score for driving the old Buick ahead at a baseball game, exposing and embarrassing him.
So when Bill, The Judge, so proudly bought a suit from Jack Hosmer, his old croney, I think it was Rothgarn, said Bill go ahead to the bar, he stayed behind and altered the inseam shorter by 2″. If you knew his wife, Dora, you knew she wasn’t impressed when Bill modeled this suit the next morning.
Bonnie you referred to Charlie as Charles, he was a blessing to the town. Anyone that happened to be in town, would take Charley home when he wasn’t feeling good. Grandma Anderson would always refer to him as Charles, and yes, he did hang out with Ovila Lamoureaux.
I did remember Dale started with a small office building and he had gas customers lined up half way to town. Amazing man Dale was.

Love the cheerleaders photo. My Grandma Kate made all the cheering outfits one year and I kind of think these were the ones. Anyone remember sitting at Kate Fassett’s for the fitting????? She as an excellent seamstress and sewed most of our clothes plus clothes for several people around town – and made hundreds of beautiful quilts!
For those of you who have also enjoyed seeing the old Dunseith School , there was, at one time, stationery with a picture of the old school on it and it was sold at the Log Cabin in Dunseith. I believe the picture was drawn by Mrs. Noble Doeling – I can’t remember her first name!!! Mr. Doeling was the postmaster who was hired after my Dad retired……. They may still have some of that stationery at the Log Cabin?????

Gary,
Carmen Richard is right about Laura Law’s book. It is very interesting reading, even if you are not a real history buff. The St. John Centennial book is still available and is also interesting reading. The Dunseith, Rolette, St. John and Rolla books tend to tie together a lot of stuff.

Dick, I remember this also Zike was a close friend of my mom and dad’s. Mom run the cafe at this time and I remember her talking about the three guys that had been in town for about a week before this happened and she always thought they had acted so strange while in the cafe . Then after this happened they dissapeared. That same night the Cops called and said that the back door to the store (JOES Store) was broken into Dad was already in bed and so Mom went to check it out (this was a thing that happened alot back then ) and either mom or dad would go up and check it out lock things back up and come home . There were 2 back doors to the store a kinda side one . well mom figured it was the large door she went back and checked it and it had the old fashion bar across the door ……. so she went and checked the side door and that was the one that was open . so she locked it nothing was out of place so she turned ofFthe lights and went home. Left dad a note telling him she locked up the door. well dad called in the morning and asked mom why she didn’t put the bar on the back door when she was up there she explained it was the side door and he said well fritz the back door was open when i got here , the side door was locked . The cops figured that those guys beat up zike then when Don came along they run broke that door open to hide which meant that those guys were in the store when mom went in there. I remember mom and dad talking saying it was a blessing maybe that mom went instead of dad cause they may have beat up dad also but mom would have known who they were cause of the cafe so they stayed hidden. Thank God I never remmeber hearing they caught those guys but i do re3member after that each time the store got broke into I was so scared when mom or dad had to go check it out. I am glad that Zike fully recovered . Bev Morinville Azure

Gary,
I have been receiving all the emails, my wife and I really enjoy reading all the emails. I found these pictures of my dad’s (Manvil Sebelius) snowplane and a picture of an oil rig that was on his land, it was setting up to drill in 1951.
The picture of the 2 boys with the snowplane is Harvey and Duane Sebelius. Also, there is a picture of my parents, Manvil and Dorothy. They are still on the farm where they have been since 1948. They raised 8 boys there. They are still very active and still raising cattle.
The picture of 8 boys are from left to right: Duane, David, Jeff, Marvin, Dennis, Daryl, Dean and Harvey.
