To the Old Home Place

 The day before the Germans from Russia convention in Mandan convened we drove south to the St. Gertrude area and the land where her grandparents settled and raised their family, Mary’s mother among them.  

Mary points to the only remnant of foundation where her grandparents Frank and Catherine Fergel built their house and raised their family, Mary's mother among them.

Mary with her cousin Francis Fergel who now has the property.

A portion of the Dog Tooth Hills where with some imagination you can see the jawbone of a dog.
