And what are you referring to it all disappearing "into the burning barrel"? <br /><br />It may not be obvious to you, but I myself am not in South Dakota. Haven't even ever been there. It was only recently that I learned my relatives settled there first and then later moved to North Dakota. I've been to ND, but I actually currently live in the mid-Atlantic states.FlyLady Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544242571867208112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239588783521708334.post-86473594551031108782016-07-01T22:19:07.182-04:002016-07-01T22:19:07.182-04:00I enjoyed reading the stories about your family hi...I enjoyed reading the stories about your family history. You told about they arrived at Volga,k South Dakota. Someone had to walk to Lake Poinsett to get John Adams to pick up the rest of the party. My grandparents lived neighbors to John Adams my grandfather was Andrew Olson he was a grandson to Simon Hoel. Ole and Eston Hoel left South Dakota for Canada, my grandpa Andrew farmed with Simon as he had all daughters. Simon had a stone house not far from the John Adams place on the east side Poinsett. I love reading these old stories, have tried to put together what I can of those early days. It's a shame to see it all going to disappear into the burning barrel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
