The weather was fair so why not drive to Wishek for an auction sale. Mary’s cousin Francis decided to sell much of what he and his wife had accumulated, house and all. Many of the pictures are of his close family members who came to assist.There was a lot to consider bidding on and we left a little money there for a few items. His wife loved jigsaw puzzles and put many together, then mounted them on boards for Francis to build frames for. Mary bought one nice farm scene. I bought a 50th anniversary community book from Eureka SD covering the years 1887-1937. The book - 84 years old - contains many pioneer stories written by people who lived the earliest days of German-Russian immigration in this part of the country.
