KREGGER, CHRISTIAN & CHRISTENA I have been told that Christian Kregger built a church in Trenton. I have a picture of a large group in front of a building that is under construction which I believe is the church he built. They are listed in the 1920 census of Williams County. They arrived after 1912 and left after 1921. janegroth@yahoo.com. Thank you for posting this for me. 6-19-2009 Ralphgroth2@cox.net

BOLDT,
Earnest A. & Mary I am trying to find information about my great uncle E
A Boldt (Earnest A Boldt) and his wife Mary. The 1930 US Federal Census
shows Earnest and Mary Boldt living in Tioga, Williams County, ND. He is
43 years old and working as a garage mechanic and Mary is aged 29 and
listed as a public school teacher. I believe they were married about
1923 in Stanley, ND. The census report states Mary was born in MN about
1901. Earnest was born in South Dakota in 1887 and died in Oregon in
1962 and is buried at Williamette National Cemetery. No one in the
family knows anything about Mary except she died a "mysterious death." I
am assuming she died in North Dakota but need to verify it and am very
curious as to the "mysterious death." Thank you. Donna Bogott 29 July

MAGNUSON, Otto & Alma (SWANSON)
Looking for information on Alma (Swanson) Magnuson. She was married to
Otto Magnuson around 1910. Otto and Alma had a daughter whose name, we
believe, is Emma. Alma died in 1912 after giving birth to another child.
She is buried in the Stordahl Cemetery with her Baby Olida Ontine
Magnuson. We are trying to find out what happened to Emma. We have very
little info on Otto and Alma's Marriage and just recently learned of
Emma's birth. Thanks, Lisa lwilcox@collinscom.net 1/15/2007
