brothers and a sister (names unknown)...one brother was married and had
two children, the sister was married and had a number of children, she
is said to have run a confection store. This family is said to be
German. Mr. MARTIN was once married to a crippled lady, it is said they

Phillips, Marion S. and Lida (Lydia) C. I am
interested in finding any information on two families. The first is the
Phillips family. Marion S. and Lida (Lydia) C.Phillips were long time
residents of Williston. They had a farm in the Williston area and they
also owned their own truck gardening business. He was a member of the
masonic lodge and he might have also belonged to Modern Woodmen of
America. They adopted a child in 1913 and the family lived there until
1926, when they moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan. Marion and Lida were both
born in Indiana. The second family we are searching for, I am unsure of
the exact spelling of the name. Her name was Jennie Birklow, or Beiklow
or some form of that last name. Would like to know if she knew the
Phillips family. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
very much. Edward McGruder 9/24/00 edwardmcgruder@email.msn.com

NEHRING, August and Wilhelmina
(BECKER) I am looking for the Nehring family in Williams County. I
noticed that in the book Wonder of Williams: A history of Williams
County, North Dakota there were some Nehrings in the book. I know my
Nehrings were in North Dakota for some time, and was wondering if they
were related. I have not read the information in this book, but only saw
the names in the index. August Nehring and his wife Wilhelmina Becker
came from Pommern, Germany before 1884 and settled in North Dakota. They
had several children but do not know all of their names. Edward, born in
1867 was our great grandfather. He had a sister that married a Zeisemer,
and told they were in Cresbard, South Dakota. Other cousins had the
surnames of Ceilky, Krause, and Piepke. We think sisters married men
with these names. If you have any info, please contact me. Thank you. TR
