Pioneer Days in Dakota and Kansas: a Difference 1 PIONEER DAYS IN DAKOTA AND KANSAS: A DIFFERENCE This talk was presented at the Swiss (Volhynian) Mennonite Cultural and Historical Association meeting in the Eden Mennonite Church, Moundridge, Kansas, on the 31 October 2002 by James W. Krehbiel. Beginning on page 10 you will see some information on families who moved after they came to this country. This talk will concern itself principally with those persons who moved from Kansas to South Dakota and from South Dakota to Kansas and I’ll attempt to explain what the reasons may have been for the movements of families. This study was initiated by Dr. Harley Stucky who asked me several years ago if I could look through my data base and determine who those persons were who moved from South Dakota to Kansas. My data base isn’t set up to do that but I started making a list whenever I found someone who did move. I also included those who moved from Kansas to South Dakota. This list is confined to those persons who were born in Volhynia and their children. It does not include grandchildren of those born in Russia or great grandchildren. There are probably some persons you may know who moved to South Dakota or from South Dakota to here and who are not listed. That is probably the reason. They are not in my data base so they are not listed. Another reason for the omission of some people from this list is because I have been accumulating the list whenever I happened to run into someone and there are some I just missed. As you undoubtedly know all 4 congregations had agreed while in Russia to go to the Dakota Territory. The first 3 congregations did so. The Kutusovka-Hopefield congregation decided in New York to go to Kansas instead. 14 families of that congregation went immediately to South Dakota from New York. 3 families came to Kansas, then (within a month) went to South Dakota. On page 10 is the beginning of the list of persons who moved from Kansas to South Dakota. Included in this list are the 3 families who were members of the Kutusovka congregation in Volhynia who came to this country with that congregation, and came to Kansas, but then moved within 3 to 4 weeks to South Dakota. These were the families of Johann Gering [Ge3.355] and Maria (Graber) Gering [Gr3.824] with 3 children. You will see that family listed on the bottom of page 10. The other 2 families were those of Jacob Riess [Rs1.2] and Karolina (Tesmer) Riess [Ts0] with 6 of their children and Karl Riess [Rs2.25] and Freni (Kaufman) Riess [Ka4.2111] with 3 of their children. Those Riess families you will find listed from the middle of page 11 to the middle of page 12. If we subtract these 18 persons from the total list of those who moved from Kansas to South Dakota we are left with 15 persons who moved there. Nearly all of these 15 persons married someone from South Dakota and moved there to be with their spouse. There is one individual who merits some comment. She is Freni Schrag [Sg5.74222] listed on page 12 (towards the bottom of the page). Freni was born in South Dakota, had moved with her parents to Menno, Washington in Adams County in Eastern Washington and was living there when Karl Kauffman [Ka5.24232] came from South Dakota. Karl (who Americanized his name to Charles) had an avid interest in nature, he collected artifacts and had studied taxidermy and stuffed many animals. He was invited to Washington to teach a class in the Menno Mennonite Church in which Freni was a member. They were married. Subsequently Karl (or Charles, if 2 you prefer) was asked to come to Bethel College with his collection and establish a museum. This he and Freni did. He was curator of the Kauffman Museum for many years until his death. Freni became curator then and remained so until she married Henry Riess [Rs3.27d] who lived in South Dakota. She gave up her job as curator of the museum and moved to South Dakota to be with her husband. On page 13 begins the list of persons who moved from South Dakota to Kansas. I have listed here 158 of them. Compare that number with the 33 who moved from Kansas to South Dakota. It needs to be asked why so many persons left Dakota. What conditions prevailed there that prompted the exit? And I should mention that Kansas was not the only destination of persons who left Dakota. There were 14 families and 4 single persons who went to North Dakota in about 1898 and settled near Starkweather, North Dakota. They were 1 Albrecht family, 1 Gering family, 5 Graber families, 1 Holzworth family (who married a Senner), 2 Schrag families, a Senner family, a Waltner family, 1 Winsky family (who married a Graber) and the 4 single persons were 2 Gerings and 2 Senners. That made a total of 49 persons including the children. In 1904 they moved to Alsen in the same county (that is, Cavalier Co.) and established the Swiss Mennonite Church there. [the information was extracted from AlBo and SwMe] They could not have left South Dakota because of the severe winters. The north border of Cavalier County is the Canadian border. The wife of one of the Grabers was my great aunt (Elisabeth Gering [Ge4.3121] and 1 of the 2 single Gerings was her sister Karolina Gering [Ge4.3126]; the other single Gering was the father of the 2 sisters (Joseph Gering [Ge3.312], my great grandfather). 49 persons from Dakota: (ALBRECHT 1.

In that group there was 1 Albrecht family, 3 Graber families, 1 Ortman family, 2 Senner families, a Schrag family, 3 Schwartz families and 1 Zafft (Soft) family. The Soft family and 1 of the Graber families moved to Kansas before moving to Montana.

In 1882, 5 Schrag families moved from South Dakota to Oregon and established a country church near Dallas, Oregon. There were 2 Schrag families who came later making a total of 7 Schrag families in Oregon. They were joined by a 2 Gering families, 2 Graber families, 1 Kaufman and a Waltner family. After trying to subsist on fairly poor soil near Dallas, Oregon 3 for about 9 years they moved to Lane County, Oregon (near Eugene) and after 9 years of attempting to exist on rather poor soil there they moved to Adams County in eastern Washington. There they established the town of Menno and the Menno Mennonite Church and the town of Schrag, Washington which is about 10 miles southwest of Menno. Included in that Oregon group were 61 persons. [this information was extracted from ScMi and EmOr] 57 persons from Dakota: (SCHRAGS 1. Jacob R Schrag Sg3.746 ¥ Freni R Graber Gr3.825; 2. Daniel J Schrag Sg3.756 ¥ Freni Graber Gr3.773; 3.

  • Comprehensive Housing Market Analysis for Kansas City, Missouri
    The analysis presented in this report was completed prior to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States and therefore the forecast estimates do not take into account the economic and housing market impacts of the actions taken to limit contagion of the virus. At this time, the duration and depth of the economic disruption are unclear, as are the extent and effectiveness of countermeasures. HUD will continue to monitor market conditions in the HMA and provide an updated report/addendum in the future.

  • Welcome to the South Dakota State Capitol Building
    Welcome to the South Dakota State Capitol Building SELF GUIDED TOUR SCRIPT OF SOUTH DAKOTA STATE CAPITOL BUILDING This booklet has been designed to give our guests a more meaningful tour of our State Capitol and historic points on the Capitol Complex. It will provide historic data and identify a variety of features that visitors will encounter in the State Capitol. This handout is designed to assist you on your walking tour of the Capitol, starting at the Capitol Annex entrance on the North side of the building. 1 SOUTH DAKOTA CAPITOL CONSTRUCTION The South Dakota State Capitol Building was constructed between 1905 and 1910. The more than 114,000 square foot structure was constructed of a variety of materials including native field stone, Indiana limestone, and Vermont and Italian marble. The structure is 161 feet tall, 190 feet wide, and 292 feet long, and features hundreds of hand-crafted materials including carved woodwork and marble, special cast brass, and hand laid stone. The Capitol Building was designed and built for just under $1,000,000 by Minneapolis architects C.E. Bell and M.S. Detwiler. It is a modified version of the Montana State Capitol in Helena. The current estimated value of the South Dakota Capitol is nearly $58,000,000. Government agencies moved into the Capitol Building in the summer of 1910 from a small wooden building which was located at the Southwest corner of the Capitol grounds near the corners of Capitol Avenue and Nicollet Avenue. The building referred to as the “Capitol Annex” is located immediately North of the original State Capitol Building.

  • The 1951 Kansas - Missouri Floods
    The 1951 Kansas - Missouri Floods ... Have We Forgotten? Introduction - This report was originally written as NWS Technical Attachment 81-11 in 1981, the thirtieth anniversary of this devastating flood. The co-authors of the original report were Robert Cox, Ernest Kary, Lee Larson, Billy Olsen, and Craig Warren, all hydrologists at the Missouri Basin River Forecast Center at that time. Although most of the original report remains accurate today, Robert Cox has updated portions of the report in light of occurrences over the past twenty years. Comparisons of the 1951 flood to the events of 1993 as well as many other parenthetic remarks are examples of these revisions. The Storms of 1951 - Fifty years ago, the stage was being set for one of the greatest natural disasters ever to hit the Midwest. May, June and July of 1951 saw record rainfalls over most of Kansas and Missouri, resulting in record flooding on the Kansas, Osage, Neosho, Verdigris and Missouri Rivers. Twenty-eight lives were lost and damage totaled nearly 1 billion dollars. (Please note that monetary damages mentioned in this report are in 1951 dollars, unless otherwise stated. 1951 dollars can be equated to 2001 dollars using a factor of 6.83. The total damage would be $6.4 billion today.) More than 150 communities were devastated by the floods including two state capitals, Topeka and Jefferson City, as well as both Kansas Cities. Most of Kansas and Missouri as well as large portions of Nebraska and Oklahoma had monthly precipitation totaling 200 percent of normal in May, 300 percent in June, and 400 percent in July of 1951.
