Trying to locate Roger Johnson
Inquiry from Chris Wogaman:
Hi Gary,
I’m doing some family history research for a friend of mine on Facebook whose Great-Grandfather (Jack Beasley) served with Roger Johnson of Dunseith in WW2 on the LSM-297. I don’t know if Roger might still be living, but thought I would ask if you might know. It might be a challenge to track down anyone living who was on that ship who would possibly remember this fellow.
All the best,
Chris Wogaman

Seems to me that someone recently shot a feral pig in the Turtle Mountains, so I thought this information could be helpful in case others are spotted.
North Dakota Game and Fish Department

Feral Pig Sightings Must be Reported
Landowners or hunters who happen to encounter feral pigs in North Dakota must notify the State Board of Animal Health immediately. Shooting of feral pigs is illegal in North Dakota unless a person is protecting property or livestock.
Casey Anderson, assistant chief of wildlife for the State Game and Fish Department, said state law requires reporting of feral pigs to help the BOAH eliminate these nuisance animals.
“We have had numerous situations since 2008 where feral swine have been detected in North Dakota and we take these reports very seriously,” Anderson said. “With the upcoming deer hunting season approaching, we want to let people know they need to report immediately if they see feral pigs or observe signs such as rooting.”
Anyone who observes or suspects the presence of feral pigs should call the BOAH at 701-328-2655, Game and Fish Department at 701-328-6300, or USDA Wildlife Services at 701-250-4405.
Feral pigs can threaten domestic livestock, crops, public safety, natural habitat and wildlife. Anderson said they often become nocturnal if pressured which makes removal efforts more difficult. “They are very hardy and resilient,” he added, “that’s why immediate action is essential.”
A landowner may eliminate wild pigs on his or her land if they pose an immediate threat, but must contact the BOAH within 24 hours. The landowner must follow any instructions given by the board regarding the handling, preservation and disposal of the carcass.

Additional info for you. Faye Hiatt was married to Melvin Tohm from Gardena, south of Bottineau. They lived and farmed at Egeland, about 40 miles east of Rolette. Faye passed away from cancer a few years ago. Melvin and one of his sons still live on the farm. Melvin’s brother, LeRoy, was married to my sister, Lorraine. LeRoy passed away from cancer last Winter in Hereford, TX and was returned to Bottineau for burial.

Reply from Rita Carbonneau Anderson (Former Gamble store owner): I am one of those who started school in about 1930. I went to a country school in Lordsbrg Township, there were 11 of us in the whole school. I lived just about 3/4 of a mile from school. We started school about the first of April and went to the first week of November. If the weather wasn’t too severe we would go to Thanksgiving. In the summertime when it was too warm to have school inside, we would go to the north side of the building and thats where the teacher would teach the classes. How about that!?
