Jacob Wuest was born January 19, 1867 in Rohrbach, South Russia to Jacob and Eva (Peters) Wuest. The Peters family came from Germany when Evas mother was fourteen years old to settle in South Russia. Jacob Wuest and Anna
Reichert were wed December 20, 1888 in Russia. Anna Reichert was born November 16, 1867 in Rohrbach to Valentine and Barbara (Mitzel) Reichert who were farmers in that village.
In 1891 Mr. And Mrs. Jacob Wuest, Jr., departed the land of Russia with their baby daughter Katie, his parents Mr. And Mrs. Jacob Wuest, Sr., and her parents Mr. And Mrs. Valentine Reichert. Aboard ship they sailed to America and landed in a United States port on October 1, 1891. After going through immigrations the young Wuest family entrained to Sutton, Nebraska which was a stopping off place for Russian immigrants and on the 30th of October a baby daughter, Emma was born to them. The Jacob Wuest Sr., family went on to St. Francis, Kansas where they lived out their lives.
Shortly after the birth of their second child Emma, Mr. And Mrs. Wuest Jr., and their two small daughters entrained to St. Francis, Kansas. Many Russian families had gone to Kansas to farm and Jacob and Anna found a haven in the settlement of the Wuests. Joseph Wuest Sr., and sons were farming in the area as were Jacob Wuest Sr., and his children Henry Wuest, Katie Wuest Zimbelman, Lizzie Wuest Miller, Hanna Wuest, Christina Wuest (Schlipp),
Jacob Wuest Jr., and Marie Wuest and husband. They all had secured land around St. Francis. In St. Francis three more daughters were born to Jacob and AnnieLizzie in 1893 and the twins Lydia and Sophia in 1896. Lydia died when she was three years old and Sophie when she was 22 years old.
Six years later the Wuest family departed St. Francis and returned to Sutton, Nebraska. A year later in 1900, they made their final move to Gregory County, South Dakota. They traveled by the train from Sutton to Atkinson, Nebraska and came by horse and wagon to Bonesteel, South Dakota. There the young Jacob Wuest Jr., family set down permanent roots on the NE of Section 22, Bonesteel Township. They were located one half mile east of the meridian line of the first Gregory County and the Rosebud Reservation. (This is now the Aldrew Schochenmaier place).
Their first home on the prairie was a sod house. The rain came through the roof as fast as it poured from the heavens above. Father Jacob would pull the top-buggy over to the door and put the little ones on the covered seat so they could sleep but the box of the buggy would fill with water. May 9, 1900 another baby girl, Martha came into the world on the new frontier.
Even though the roof leaked like a sieve, the sod house was strongly constructed. Jacob had gone to the creek timers for poles or logs which he used as stringers to reinforce and make the roof. Every spring Jacob made a large basin-like hole in the ground and put in a mixture of earth, straw and water. This he tramped with his horses into a very thick paste which Anna spread six inches deep on the sod roof. This dried hard and kept the rain out of the soddy but by fall after the many summer rains, it leaked again. In the winter Jacob mounted the roof and scooped off the snow. These were the Good old days!
The soddy was heated by a four-plate cook stove which was fueled with cow chips. A Drilling boy herded about 100 head of cows in a nearby pasture and a good supply of cow chips was always available. These dried in the sun in a few days. Lizzie and Emma filled their tubs and threw the chips in a pile. It didnt take long to gather a pile of 12 inch round dry fuel plates for their stove. Jacob unhitched earlier from the fields and hauled a load of fuel to the slew hay covered shed. Mother Anna piled each round chip in rows in the shed. This was done every other day at dusk. The shed was a
soddy covered with slew hay. Slew hay which grew in the watery lake beds or slews grew to three or four feet tall and made a tight compact roof material to cover the poles up on top of the sod. Even the granary was made in this manner. Jacob added a bedroom to the sod house which he covered with slew hay and this room never leaked. Here Sophie was born December 28, 1903 and five years later they had their only son, Reinhold born August 15, 1908.
Rattlesnakes were everywhere. Evidently the rattlesnake den was nearby as Lizzie and Emma killed over a hundred snakes while herding the cattle on their grassland. Each girl rode bareback with only a blanket over their pony. Jacob had fashioned three buckles or snaps on one end of the surcingle. Lizzie swung this as hard as she could to gain momentum and rapped the snake on the back. With a broken back the rattler was immobilized and could not spring. Lizzie was braver and more adept than Emma and she killed the most. After the rattler lay motionless Lizzie jumped down from her pony and cut off the rattles. They kept each prize to show their father. Finally they had so many pecimens that it was no longer a thrill to bring in their trophies.
The girls attended the Kingsbury School in their district and the family worshipped in the Congregational Church at Fairfax, South Dakota.
Jacob and Anna's days were full they had plowed much sod, their cattle numbers had increased, crops were bountiful, and their children healthy and happy so they were content. The older girls had already married and had homes of their ownSophie was sixteen and their only male child, Reinhold was ten years old. This new world had brought them much happinessuntil November 12, 1918. Five days after the signing of the Armistice father Jacob Wuest expired from the World War I flu which had descended upon Gregory County resulting in many deaths of the old and young and those of
middle age.
After the funeral, Anna disposed of the farm, machinery, and livestock. The husband of her daughter Kate, Fred Schochenmaier purchased the home quarter and later Lizzies husband, Jacob Schochenmaier bought the other quarter. Anna Reichert Wuest and her two youngest, Sophie and Reinhold moved to Fairfax, S. D. where thirteen years later she died on July 10, 1930.
Jacob and Anna Wuest were the parents of eight children, six reaching adulthood; Katherine (1890-1950) married Fred Schochenmaier; 9 children Sarah, Albert, Henry, Herman Ron, Altha, Alvin, Raymond, Aldrew, (he farms the original Wuest homestead) and Anna Marie.

Sophie married Robert Williams; 11 children Velma, Robert Jr., Kenneth (dec.), Betty, Barbara, Clarence, Marvin, Doris, Donna (dec.), Donald and Roland. Reinhold married Alvina Lorenz; four children Wayne (dec), Harley, Marlene and Darlene.
Emma Wuest was born October 30, 1891 at Sutton, Nebraska and was married May 16, 1914 in Butte, Nebraska to Conrad Zimmerle. Conrad was born September 8, 1890 in Rohrbach, South Russia to Jacob and Anna (Peters) Zimmerle. Jacob Zimmerle and Anna Peters were married in Russia and came to the United States in the winter of 1901. They tarried a spell at Sutton, Nebraska before settling down near Butte, Nebraska. Here they farmed and reared
their family of a dozen. Jacob Zimmerle died March 12, 1931 and Anna Peters Zimmerle passed away January 29, 1948 at Butte. Mr. And Mrs. Jacob Zimmerle were the parents of twelve children: Annie, Jacob, Lizzie, Christina, John,
Conrad, Maggie, Sophie, William, August, Emma and Hannah who died when a small child.

Conrad Zimmerle passed away March 1, 1932 from cancer when daughter Hannah was barely five years old. Emma Zimmerle raised her family alone, having lost two of her babies, Orlan and Esther before her husbands death. Currently Emma, Wuest Zimmerled resides in the Parkview Manor in Burke, S.D.
