Ryder News for Sept. 22, 2016
I knew if I made any mistakes in what I was told about the
history of the church building that was burned down last week, someone would
give me the correct information. The info in the Diamond Jubilee book of
Ryder says that the building came from
Centerville-Old Ryder where it was used as the Presbyterian Church. This was
used until the present church was built. Then it was moved over on the East
side of the school and used as a classroom, next it was moved to its last
location where Immanuel Lutheran Church used it until they merged with St.
John's Lutheran Church. This is when the Church of God begin worshipping there
and as you know its last use was as the Ryder Church Museum. Wow, that church
was on the move for awhile.
Mildred Peterson of Minot, (Ron’s mom) recently fell in her
apartment at Brentmoor. She broke her pelvis, both sides among other breaks and
injuries. After leaving the hospital, she was taken to Trinity Nursing Home to
heal and recuperate. She is on the 3rd floor.
Scott and Kari Mart along with Ana and Tate spent last
weekend with the Deaver family in Minot. They all visited with grandma Mildred
Peterson and Ron and Muriel.
Mary and Matt Quillan have moved to a farmstead that is
closer to the kids' school and Matt only has 6 miles to work. Their Ryder home
was the previous home of Lloyd and Barb Bofenkamp and will soon be on the
market to be sold.

Henry Oberdick’s 2nd Birthday

Rod and Kathy (Kronbach) Kallestad of Garrison traveled to Minot on Saturday, August 27th, for a combined "August" family birthday party at Kyle and Jenny (Blowers-Johnson) Brossart's house. Those having August birthdays were Grandma Karen Olson (73) of Douglas on August 2nd, granddaughter Kylie Johnson (12) of Minot on August 9th, grandson Henry Oberdick (2) on August 12th, Cindy (Olson) Oberdick (27) on August 19th, and Barb (Neukom) Fredericksen (59) on August 24th. Those sharing in the birthday celebration were Kyle and Jenny Brossart, Kylie Johnson, Wil, Cindy (Olson), Henry, and Lucy Oberdick; Barb Fredericksen, Kalen, Brittney, and Isaac Hogan, all of Minot; Edwin and Karen Olson of Douglas; Shawn and Pam Brooks of Surrey; Valarie, Lily, and Willow Bradshaw of Cheyenne, Wyoming; and Rod and Kathy Kallestad of Garrison.
Kenny and I did a little visiting on Saturday. First we went
to my brother’s summer farm home out here in the country. I took him some
homemade chicken soup and also delivered some Avon to his sister-in-law. They
are still alive out there so I guess the soup didn’t kill them!
Next we visited with Kenny’s sister Lorraine Nelson. I took
her the coupon book she had ordered from Johnny and she had a lot of family
history papers and albums to send home with us for Kenny to look over.

Huge Bull moose hanging around White Shield
|
There was a huge bull moose hanging around White Shield last
week. The animals are definitely on the move with the combining and goose
hunting chasing them out of their hiding places. We all better be careful and
watch out for the wildlife as you sure wouldn’t want to hit one of these big
animals. The moose don’t really want to move out of your way!
