Ryder News for
Sept. 14, 2017
I received several comments on the picture
of the kids on the old Ryder school playground, namely the swing set.
Vickie Olson
said: “Great news on your cancer, happy for you and your family. Love reading
the news letter, Mamie Olson was our aunt.”
Sharlene Krogh
said: “That swing set has seen many years - still looks strong.”
Dwight W. Paulson
said: “I believe that is the same swing set I played on, and I'm 73 years old.
I may be wrong.”
More
updates have been/are being added to the Ryder museums. After an inventory of
the yearbooks from Ryder High, it was found there is still a need for copies
from the 1920’s, 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s. So, please do not throw away these
copies or if you know of someone who no longer wants theirs, please share this.
Your help is appreciated.

Tire marks left on the highway from the
accident.

| Wrecked pickup truck. |
There was a horrendous
wreck several miles past our farm last Thursday. I am not at liberty to say who
was involved in the wreck but a pickup truck from this area rolled and went
into a field on the north side of the road. From the black tire marks on the
highway it looked like the driver was heading into the south ditch and probably
overcorrected and rolled. Both men survived the accident and rumor has it that
one is in the Garrison hospital and the other is in the Minot hospital.

Memorial Night and we have received about .40 inch of rain during the night and today: damping the Memorial activities but brightening the spirit of the local farmers. Sunday night and Monday about .60 of an inch fell but we can always take more. The weather remains quite cold. There was frost Wednesday morning, nipping some crops in spots.Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Anderson took Mrs. Marry Lynne to Minot Wed. evening from where she took the train to her home at Great Falls, Montana.The school children, teachers and patrons enjoyed last Friday a lot when they picnicked at the Minot Park.Ardell Folden said goodbye to his eighth grade books on Wednesday when he passed his final tests.Vernon Linnertz will be an eighth grader next year.Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Anderson & Edna & Alfred Anderson of Fargo left for their homes Wednesday after spending a few days here visiting their brothers, Ole & Carl Anderson and to attend the Golden Anniversary. Two of their sisters were also here..Mrs. Theo Bredahl of Tagus & Mrs. Carrie Fingvold of Cadilac, Sask., Canada.Mrs. Soren Sorenson, Lee Allan and Lavonn visited at Ed Olson's on Friday afternoon.Mrs. & Mrs. I.E.

Hopkins, Mrs. & Mrs. Harry Peterson & Mrs. Carl Clausen & Claryce & Mrs. Theodore Olson of Garrison came to wish Ed Olson many more Happy Birthdays.The community was deeply shocked Tuesday morning to learn of the tragedy that had befallen three Ryder men. Floyd Roberts is a Blue Hill farmer having lived in the community many years. We hope Mr. Roberts and Winston Anderson a good recovery.
(Museum question
here is: Who was the 3rd
person that was in the fire east of Ryder?
Was it another Anderson & didn’t he die?)
