Doug and I are no longer a pair, but Ruth and Anna (who was born in ND) are lovely young women with great husbands and excellent granchildren for me!! 4 in all...Ava, Clara, Marcello, and Charlotte. You'd love them. I have fond memories of the parsonage from Jan 1974-Jan 1978. Ruth remembers the big blue house with me. Well, I wish you all a Happy New Year in 2012. I have retired close by in WI, so you never know when I may drop by. Sincerely, Sara Heck (formerly Millar) I just happened across your website and am glad to know you’re still kickin’!

My Norwegian ancestors settled in Sargent county in the 1880's. Christ Jacobson was my great grandfather, and I was beyond thrilled to find a picture of his and his brother Jacob's double wedding. Thank you so much for posting it, and a big thank you to whoever shared it with you! I found this website while doing genealogy research.

Hart Sun, 07 Aug 2011 22:26:25 +0000 http://www.rutlandnd.com/?page_id=214#comment-53548 Hi Debbie, Thank you so much for making it possible for us to tour the Rutland Depot & Museum during our recent visit. It was so good to finally see the inside of the depot where dad worked from 1946 to 1950. We found numerous pictures of Dad (Everett I. Hart) starting with his 1941-1942 high school basketball photo to photos of him several years later on the Rutland baseball team. My Mom, Margaret A. (Seefeldt) Hart, was Rutland’s school teacher for a while and we found her in your 1947 and 1948 class photos. My Dad’s brother Floyd (James Floyd Hart) was one of the four that died as described in Emil Kraig’s newspaper article about the tragic encounter with the train May of 1938. The Depot contains so much history of Rutland and those that lived & worked there. What a great place to visit! Best Regards, Jim & Tracy Hart Hi Debbie,

My earliest memories were visiting Grandpa and Grandma when they farmed a place Southeast of Rutland where the closest neighbor to the North were the Brahams ( spelling ??? ) with beautiful views of the foothills to the south. Being a city kid ( Wahpeton ) visiting the farm was daily adventure. Mom and Dad would sometimes dump me for weeks out there with Grandma and Grandpa and the Jacobson Uncle and Aunt circus to fend and fight for myself. That must have been about 1938. I could write a book about my visits to Rutland, and the interesting family and friends I had the honor of knowing but have little time for sharing today. I just found the Rutland web site and took a quick trip down memory lane . So many firsts occurred for me in the Rutland area, first sleep-over, first horse back ride, learned to drive, plowed, cultivated, mowed, raked, shocked, first drink, first love, etc, etc, etc, just a city kid trying to get along. The Uncles thought I was a big bother but Grandpa Jacobson always told the " let him try, how can he learn anything if you don't " so I learned. That was before I left the area fo a 40 year career in the U S Air force, 25 in uniform and 15 as a D A F C. Got to run but I will stay in touch.

My family drove around the Rutland area last summer after attending a wedding in Hillsborro, ND. We found the cemetery were our great grandparents are buried. We also found our great uncle Arnold's farm. Our dad Mervin lived with Arnold when he was in the first grade and attended school in the area close to Arnold's farm. My dad owned some of Tom and Mary Torgerson's farm after they passed away. We are trying to do some family history on the Torgerson side of the family, but unfortunately are running into a lot of dead ends. We would appreciate any information anyone has on Arnold, Nellie, Tomas and Mary. Tom and Mary's farm was closer to Havana. We can be reached at Cynthia Torgerson c/o Mervin Torgerson, 33234 County Road 128, Lambert, Montana 59243. Thank you! Nice website!

Although I lived around Forman, I had a lot of wonderful times in Rutland practicing and performing in the band Trigger with Stan Kulzer and Jodi Bell. I live in Atlanta now, but I'm still a midwestern boy! What a nice website!

Hart Tue, 10 May 2011 19:01:23 +0000 http://www.rutlandnd.com/?page_id=214#comment-48846 Hi Jimmy... you've got a great memory! My Grandpa was James Hart and Grandma was named Minnie. I didn't have the opertunity to meet him as he passed prior to my arrival. My uncle Floyd, Dad's brother, was the oldest of Jim's three kids along with sister Hazel. Floyd was lost at a railroad crossing in the area along with two others on their way home from a high school event in the early forties. Everett, Mom (Margaret) and I did live in the little house by the railroad tracks (I have a picture of it) until 1951 when Dad took a job at the Great Northern depot in Aberdeen. Do you know when the little house by the track was torn down? We looked for it when we were there in 2008, but it was gone... Best Regards, Jim Hi Jimmy… you’ve got a great memory!
