| Summary: | 1886 - 1986: Century of Change to the family, Pat and Cindy. Then we transferred to Duluth, MN. We decided that was for the Eskimos, and once more came back to Dickinson, where Ed became employed by Sax Motors and the twins, Rita and Ruth, were bom. Ed says, "the only way we could keep track of our moves was to have children," and that we did, eight in all! We really enjoyed all of our moves and met and became friends with a lot of wonderful people. After all eight children were in school, I went to work at Dickinson High School and then on to The Dickinson Press, retiring in 1979. In June, 1984, our children put on a 40th anniversary party for us. There are 27 when we all get together; we have 12 grandchildren. After 26 years, Ed retired from Sax Motors in February, 1985. We spend a lot of time at our lake home at Heart Butte. Frank J. Engelman family FRANK J. ENGELMAN Frank J. Engelman was born May 13,1901, the son of Johan and Eva (Mesling) Engelman. He came to the United States from Josephalva, Austria- Hungary, with his parents in 1902, settling in the Richardton area where the family homesteaded. In 1912 the family moved to a farm in Havelock Township. Frank attended rural school near Havelock and later worked as a hired man for farmers; he also worked at the coal bank mine in the Havelock-Regent area. He married Katherine Herberholz on November 20, 1922, at St. Mary's Church in New England. They farmed on several farms until 1929, when they bought a farm in Havelock Township and lived there until they retired in March of 1954 and moved to New England, where they spent the rest of then- lives. Frank passed away on May 10, 1968, and Katherine died May 12, 1970. They had three children. Lawrence, born September 6,1923, married Ruby Weigum; they live in Bismarck, where he works as the state electrical inspector, and they have five children. Marie, born March 30, 1925, married John F. Krebs and lives on a farm east of New England; they have ten children. Helen, born August 19, 1926, married Adam M. Schafer; they live on a farm north of Flasher, ND, and have nine children. Steve and Kathryn Zastoupil JOHAN ENGELMAN by Kathryn Engelman Zastoupil My parents, Johan and Eva Engelman, came to the Havelock and New England area in 1912, from Stark County, near Richardton, ND. They lived on a farm two and a half miles northwest of Havelock and eight miles east of New England with their family. Their children were Theresa, Frank, Steve, John, Kathryn, Peter and Magdalen. They farmed and raised livestock. The children attended a rural school in the Hellekson School District until 1919, when the nearby districts of Havelock consolidated; then they attended school at Havelock and high school at New England Public. At first, most of their shopping was done at Havelock and from mail order catalogs, but as the Havelock business dwindled they traded more at New England. Those were still the horse-and-buggy days. They attended church at St. Mary's in New England — but only during fair weather. Johan and Eva lived on the farm until Johan passed away in 1942. Then Eva moved into New England until her death in 1945. Theresa married John Tengler who decided to give up farming and move to Milwaukee, WI, where they raised their family. She still lives in Milwaukee. Frank and John farmed in the Havelock area until they retired in the 60s. They both have passed away. Peter died in 1929. Steve went to Montana in the "Dirty Thirties," worked in gold mines, and ranched after the gold mines were shut down in 1941. He retired in 1968 and died in 1976. Magdalen went to Milwaukee in the late 30s. She married John Ohmer and now lives in Racine, WI, with her husband and daughter. Kathryn completed high school in New England in 1927. (In 1977 her class celebrated its 50th class reunion, with 17 of the 29 graduates present.) She taught in rural schools in Hettinger, Slope, and Stark counties, and in Havelock, Regent, and Faith, SD, until 1971. She married Steve Zastoupil in 1936 at St. Mary's church. For four years they lived in Havelock, where Steve was manager of the O. and M. elevator. In 1940 they moved to New England, when Steve became the manager of the Bagley Elevator. In 1945 Steve purchased the city cafe, which operated until 1946 when it went up in flames. In 1947 Steve purchased the Golden West 237 Scanned with a Zeutschel Zeta book scanner at 300 dpi.
