Edwards father Carl, homesteaded on 3 quarters of land in SouthDakota but then sold this property and moved to McIntosh County Wishek,ND. Here is where Edward received his early education he attended schoolup to the 4th grade. His first grade teacher was Thomas Fiedt and theschool term was one month. These classes were held right in his home.Henry From was his second grade teacher, his salary was $25 a month.While in the classroom the pupils spoke English, on the playground theyspoke German. Edward tells of the time when his father drove to Lpswich,SD with two oxen to grind wheat into flour. This trip took five days tomake the 95 miles. In 1903 the family came to McLean County 8 milessouth 1 mile east of Mercer, ND. Here they roughed up a barn and movedin until the sod house was finished. Edward plowed sod barefooted.

The father and children would go outside the village onsmall farms of about 10 acres in size where they raised cattle, hogs andsmall grains. They plowed with horses and the mothers and children wouldgather wheat heads, pound the grain out then make ties from the straw totie other grain into bundles. Katherina’s father was also a butcher andonce a week went to market with his sausage, ham, pork hocks and freshlyrendered lard for sale.
The climate in Kassel was quite mild so meat handling was not to befooled with. People here never needed heavy clothing, overshoes orgloves because of the temperature.

They had fun times on the ship withmusic and dancing, but had on conflict. They were infested with bodylice and had to be treated the first thing when they reached their newhome in SD. Katherina’s fare was $90 --- for this she worked one yearfor a ranger by the name of Daniel Liska. It took about a year beforeshe recognized any American money. The only money she ever had was theone cent offering the few times she got to church services. Katherinachores were to bring in the cows early morning. Milking and householdchores mostly washing dishes. Here is where she ate her first jam, andoatmeal was a treat. She worked in SD 4 years and in 1908 came to McLeanCounty where she met and married Edward J. Gessele in the courthouse atMcClusky,ND. Their witness was Tobias Wall.
