I am looking for information on George Jesser (spelling "Yesser" found in a 1904 atlas). He had a farm in section 22 around 1900 in McCulley twp around 1900. There was a sod church and a cemetery on his farm. He later purchased the sod building after the church merged with a Fairfax church. George sometimes taught school in this church building.

CLOCKER, HEETER, REIDER, RIEDER posted by Tom Fitzsimmons on Tuesday, August 7, 2007

Looking for any information on a child, Birdie Reider/Rieder, born to Gustav Rieder and Anna Clocker in about 1895. The couple lived in or near Spencer and divorced in 1896. Anna then remarried in 1897 to William Heeter. They had children Rudolph, Arthur and Gertrude in addition to Anna's daughter Birdie, although it seems from census information that Birdie was named "Goldie" in that family. It is possible that the Heeter family moved to Havre, Hill County, Montana in later years.
