Ryder
News for Oct. 1, 2015
For those with inquiring minds who want
to know what is going on on Ryder’s Main St., I have the scoop!! There is a new
building going up!! It will house the City Auditor’s office and also a meeting
room for the City Council and hopefully will be completed by spring.
Remember BINGO this Friday night, Oct. 2nd
at 7 p.m. in the Ryder Community Center (Ryder Gym).
It is our anniversary today, Oct. 1st!!!
We made it 39 years and we haven’t killed each other yet. I think we are to be
congratulated!!!
There is a search being done for WWII Veterans
that are still alive in ND. There is a ND “Red Book” that lists all those who
registered from 1941-1945, but there is no listing of those still alive or
living in the state. There is going to be a Victory WWII Celebration to honor
them in Bismarck on Oct. 10th. Do we
know of anyone in this area that would qualify?
If so, please call 701-333-2064 and leave a phone number for a return
call. Thanks for helping find those important vets.

Do you recognize these mystery ladies?
|
A couple of ladies were wandering the streets
(street walkers?) of Ryder and when questioned about taking their picture, they
agreed as they thought it might draw attention from former Ryder classmates.
They went on to say that they have a reunion coming up in 2 years and hope that
they can contact all former classmates before then as they are hoping that most
will attend. So, if you recognize these gals and were in their class, give them
a call and help get organized for that reunion. They could use your help! If
you don’t know who they are, I will print their names next week for your
edification.

Ryder High sweater and barbershop instruments donated
by Brayton Paul.
|
The Ryder Historical Society received some
neat additions this past week. Brayton Paul, a 1937 Ryder graduate, sent his
brother Dale’s Ryder High sweater. It is in such great shape and
has the letter still attached. Plus, Brayton was thoughtful and sent barber
instruments that their dad, Edwin, had used at the Paul Barbershop of Ryder as
early as 1906. Edwin died in 1926; so, do
you think he used that electric clipper?
It is neat as it is in its original box.
Edwin’s first wife, Katherine, died in 1911
and both of them are buried in the Catholic section of the Ryder Rosehill
Cemetery. Together they had 2 children and named them Galerd and Katherine. With
his second wife, the following children were born: Macey, Carmen, Brayton, Dale
and Laura. All are deceased except
Brayton who is 96. Brayton Paul was an inventor and you can see his invention
on the Radio Control site at www.rchalloffame.org. Once you are on the site go
under the right-hand side of Special Exhibits and go down to Paul One.
Ron and Muriel Peterson went to LaMoure, ND
Thursday to see their grandson Tate play football. Their team won. They stayed
until Saturday so they could watch their granddaughter take part in a
volleyball tournament. Their team took first place. Congratulations LaMoure
Loboes!
Friday, while the Mart family was busy, Ron
and Muriel drove to Fargo to visit with Pastor Konrad and Carol Koosmann.
Pastor Konrad has Parkinson's disease and is now in a nursing home. They have a
lovely home in Edgewood Village. Their children Micah and Nicole also live in
Fargo. Nicole's daughter, Isabelle, is four years old and the apple of their
eye. They said to say "Hi" to everyone.
