Ryder News for March 16, 2017
I am going to try and write the news after having radiation
and a unit of blood. So if you see any mistakes, blame it on my brain not
working very good at the moment.
Ryder resident Jesse Miles was injured Monday in a rollover
of the semi he was driving 4 miles northwest of Glen Ullin. The State Highway
Patrol said Miles was going south on Highway 49 pulling a trailer with
anhydrous ammonia when the semi drifted off the west side of the road, went
into the ditch and overturned. Miles was taken to Bismarck for treatment of
non-life threatening injuries. The accident is under investigation.

| Remington Bigelow and Daniel Starks entertaining Makoti Seniors |
Daniel Starks and Remington Bigelow had a great time
providing entertainment at the Makoti Senior Citizens Meeting last Friday.
Their performance included a variety of musical styles with songs from
yesteryear. Daniel sang and played guitar and Remington played the cajon, a
box-shaped percussion instrument that he sat on and provided rhythm by slapping
the front or side faces of the cajon with his hands. Remington also played a
piano medley. It was a fun time for the boys and the audience.

Glider made by Ralph Schellenbaum
|
The following news/pictures were supplied to the Ryder
Historical Society’s records by Stan Hjelmstad in 2017 and are being shared
here by Faye Karna our Museumist.
This shows a glider made by Ralph Schellenbaum in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. He worked as a physicist at Sandi Base’s atomic
workshop. He was always into model building and flew gliders as a hobby. He is
the son of Saul and Nellie Ruehl Schellenbaum. Saul was a 1918 Ryder High grad
and Nellie taught school at Ryder. Nellie’s dad, Mr. Ruehl, ran a small
creamery in Ryder. Saul “Si” ran the Ryder Bar and later worked at the Ryder
Co-op Creamery when Ray Olson was manager.

Some old Roseglen News by Mrs. Earl Pederson:
Sandra Kolden who is attending Concordia College spent six days at the home of her parents, the Chris Kolden’s during the semester recess. Sunday her parents took her to Moorhead and they were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Morris Snippen. The Koldens attended a paint convention in Fargo on Monday and enroute home on Tuesday they stopped in Bismarck and listened in on the State Legislature session there. Mr. and Mrs. Amund Bosman are at Grand Forks where they will visit for some time with their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Bossman and sons.
To be continued next week with a little luck!
