Lea William WRIGHT and Pearl Alma HAUNTZ were
married April 7, 1916 in Jamestown, Stutsman County.
They had two children while living in Stutsman
County Robert William born March 19, 1917 and
Francis Lea born May 21, 1920. Looking for 1920 and
1930 census. Lea William WRIGHT was in the military.
Any military records available between 1910-1930? I
also believe they had a ranch in Stutsman County,
any land records available between 1910-1920? They
left Stutsman County after 1920 to California, I
believe. Any help out there? Thanks to all of you.

I am helping a friend, Trishann (Weiss) Zdroik,
search for her birth family. She was born July 26,
1966 in Jamestown, NorthDakota, and her adoption was
handled through Lutheran Social Services in Fargo
and finalized in Wisconsin. Her birth mother was
about 16 and her birth father was about 21 at the
time, and one or both may have been of Norweigan
descent. Trish believes that her given name at birth
may have been Tanya or Tonja. Her adoptive parents
are Herbert and Charlene Weiss of Wisconsin Rapids,
Wisconsin. One of Trish's two sons was born with a
rare genetic disorder, "situs inversus-cilia
disconesia," and she and her husband need 'to learn
more about her medical history. ; They would be
grateful for ANY tips about maternity homes which
existed in or near Jamestown in the 1960's, how to
access local hospital and court records, etc. You
can reach her through my e-mail

I seek info on Severt Benjamin DAHLE (1891-1951) &
family. He operated a restaurant in Courtenay, ND
for several years. Severt was born in Hayfield,
Dodge Co., MN to parents Lars W. & Inga Dahle
(emigrants from Vik, Sogn, Norway), and during the
period 1928-1944 he resided in St.Paul, MN.
Consequently, he ran his restaurant and resided in
Courtenay prior to 1928 and/or after 1944 until his
death in 1951. Severt was buried in the Evanger
Church/Cemetery, Sargeant, Mower Co., MN where he
had been baptized/confirmed.. It is conceivable that
his OBITUARY appeared in a local newspaper in/near
Courtenay, ND in addition to the one that appeared
in Hayfield Herald. His DOD was August 5th 1951 (in
Courtenay, ND?). Severt B. DAHLE married Emma
CLIFTON of Maddock, ND and they had one son Sherman
Ardean DAHLE who survived his father. In 1951 he was
an instructor at a business college at Honolulu, HI.

I referenced a birth of Clarence Wagner from
Courtenay, back in 1998. According to CIarence's
marriage license (marriage to Maybell Sensiba in
1939) his father was Matt WAGNER and his mother was
Louise BARR. The SS Death Index shows a Matt WAGNER
that was born 12/04/1884 and died in March 1976 and
whose last known residence was Courtenay. The age
would be in the right frame to be Clarence's father.
Does anyone have the obit on Matt WAGNER or any
additional information that would link this group?

Dr. Culbert was born in Portland Indiana about 1885
or 6. His mother was the adopted daughter of my Wm.
Strock. Wm. was a brother to my paternal
grandfather. I am in the process of writing a book
about the Strock family and would like to include
information about Dr. Culbert's family. From the
1920 soundex I found that he was married to a woman
by the name of Voletta L. who was born in Wisconsin
about 1893. I found that Dr. Culbert was buried in a
cemetery in Stutsman Co. in 1953. What is the name
of the cemtery? I assume that by this time his widow
is deaceased. Were there any children? From his
mothers obit in 1931 it states that he was living in
Courtaney. Was Dr. Culbert a medical dr. His father
was a vet. Heres hoping I will receive a reply.
Thanks Phyllis

Hi, I am seeking information on an Isabel or

married a Paul EDDY. According to family obituaries,
Isabel(le) & Paul EDDY resided in Jamestown, ND in
1954 when her brother, Emery A. Johnson passed away
in Warren, MN and in 1957 when another family member
passed away. I believe that Paul EDDY passed away in
1984, but I am not sure that this Paul Eddy is
Isabel(le)'s husband or not. Right now I do not have
a birth date for Isabel (Isabelle) JOHNSON EDDY, but
she was likely born sometime after 1905 in either
St. Cloud or Alexandria MN. Her parents were Charles
& Sophia Johnson who were both born in Sweden. Her
father's parents were Jonas & Anna Sofia (Engman)
Johnson who emigrated with a daughter, Emma
AHLQUIST, from Sweden to St. Paul, Minnesota in 1902
when they were 69 and 70 years old. If anyone knows

Helen Hitchcock Wed 14 Jul 2004
Researching Bridget (Brigid) Walsh (Welsh, Welch)
who emigrated from Ireland in about 1866 when she
was 16. Her obituary says she was from County Cork.
She married Patrick Hayes when she got to this
county, so the story goes. They were burned out of
Chicago in the Great Fire, moved to Madison, WI
where Patrick, a skilled carpenter, worked on the
new capitol building, and then on to Medina, where
Patrick was the station master for the NPRR. Patrick
died in 1882 or 1883 in a snow plow accident and his
widow with 6 surviving children opened her house as
a boarding house for railroad workers. My great
grandfather, Anthony James Hill from England, stayed
at her home while he worked on the railroad and
stayed to marry her and father her children; and to
add my grandfather, Frederick James Hill in 1887.
Bridget died in 1915, the first funeral in the new
Catholic Church and A.J. died in 1917. They are
buried in Jamestown Cemetery. Any connections?
Thanks so much. Helen Hitchcock

My name is Dan Hinger, a son of Daniel Hinger and
Mary Helen Berg Hinger formerly of North Dakota. My
mother was born February 15, 1919 and adopted. By
whom and when I do not know. My Grandfather, her
adoptive Father to the best of my knowledge, was
Michael Berg. My paternal grandparents were August

information available concerning my mother and her
circumstances. She passed away November 22, 1968 and
I did not learn of her adoption for another ten
years so have many questions. Thank you. Dan Hinger

Edith KOWELSKI (various spellings – OR incorrectly

sent to ST. JOHNS ACADEMY, Jamestown, about July
1905 by Foster County commissioners when she was
about 10. Her parents were gone and siblings
dispersed. She remained at the Academy until about
1910 when she became ill and was sent to Minneapolis
where she died in 1911. Were the Academy students
who boarded at the CONVENT listed in the 1910
CENSUS? I could not find more than a few names
associated with the school. Would there be YEARBOOKS

I am looking for my Grandfather's DUNLOP cousins.
They lived in Stutsman County and then branched out.
He used to visit them in the Jamestown area. I
remember him saying they went to their farm. I think
one of his Dunlop cousins was in the war? Cecil or
John? The branch was from Ayrshire, Scotland. Bowman
Gibson Dunlop (b. 1861 Dreghorn, Scotland) came over
and married Grace Pendray (about 1894) and they had
Tom (b. 1895), Jean, Clarence, Millicent, John (B.
about 1901), Mary, Nellie (b. 1907), Hugh. I
remember Dad talking about Grandpa's cousin Nellie?
Some of Bowman's children and his siblings went to
Washington, Minnesota and Maryland. Others went
south. Last contact was a funeral for one of them in
Stutsman County at a Highland Cemetary? Any leads
are great. I am just filling in holes. Email

From: "Bob Evans" To: Cc: "Bob & Joan Evans"
Subject: Stutsman Query Date: Sunday, September 20,
2009 9:34 PM JANICE MARIE MOSER REICH, ELMER REICH,
TROY JAMES REICH, SCOTT ALLEN REICH My name is Joan
Hackney Evans. I am trying to locate JANICE MARIE
MOSER REICH. I believe she was born October 30, 1940
and was originally from Jamestown, Stutsman County,
North Dakota, but moved to San Leandro, California
in 1958/1959 and lived with her sister, ELLEN MOSER
ENGLISH (I'm not sure if the last name is correct).
Janice then moved to Oakland, California where we
met and rented an apartment together in 1959/1960.
She was a Hair Stylist. I married Bob Evans in 1961
and she married ELMER REICH from (not sure what
city) North Dakota, around the same time and had two
sons, TROY JAMES REICH born July 16, 1963 and SCOTT
ALLEN REICH born October 19, 1966. We kept our
friendship going for many years and then lost touch
with each other. From information I have obtained on
the internet, it indicates that TROY JAMES REICH is
living in Jamestown, North Dakota and is married to
Liza Wanzik. I'm not sure if this is Janice's son.
Internet information also indicates that JANICE may
be remarried to an ARLEN DUANE HAAS who was from
Woodworth, Stutsman County, North Dakota. If anyone
has any information about any of the names mentioned
above, and especially how to get in touch with
JANICE MARIE MOSER REICH, I would appreciate your
sending it to bojoevans@frontiernet.net. She was a
very special friend and I am trying to renew our
friendship. Thank you so much for any information
you may be able to send to me. Joan Hackney Evans
