Description	:	It was in the early thirties when I (Gerhard) first arrived in Osnabrock looking for work as there were no jobs to be had here in wester North Dakota. I did quite a variety of work, almost anything to earn a little money. This went on for a couple of years.

I did quite a variety of work, almost anything to earn a little money. This went on for a couple of years. In 1933 Clarence Evenson and I went into the cafe business as partners in the former Beechie Cafe building. After a time I sold my interest in the business to Clarence. In November 8, 1935 Verna Evenson and I were married at the parsonage in Edinburg in a double wedding ceremony with Verna's brother Marvin and Millie Domstad. We had planned a honeymoon which was shortened due to a car accident at Bottineau, ND. We were stranded there because of a snow storm for two days and nights. After some expenses incurred as a result of the accident, we did not have enough money to continue on our honeymoon, so we returned to Osnabrock. There was a popular expression in those days that went like this: It was no disgrace to be broke, but it was darned inconvenient. Upon returning to Osnabrock, I continued doing different kinds of work, some trucking, painting, and carpenter work. Verna continued working at the cafe as a waitress. I might mention that sometime in the thirties the government created a program called the P.W.A. This program provided jobs for many people but a person had to be real desperate to qualify so there were still many that were jobless. In 1937 we moved to Easy where I got a job driving a Phillips 66 oil truck for Jake Delvo, Verna's brother-in-law. This lasted one year, after which time we moved back to Osnabrock (6th move) where I got a job working with Jake Klai, a carpenter. After approximately a year, I took a job working for Bill Regner who operated a liquor store and worked there until we moved back to Grenora where I took over the family farm in 1942. We retired in 1975 and have rented our farm to our son, Ronald. We have two children, Ronald Lee and Judith Faye. They have blessed us with four lovely grandchildren. We often talk about the good times we had at Osnabrock and will always cherish the memories of our many friends there. Gerhard passed away November 7, 1985 at St. Alexius Medical Center at Bismarck, ND. (The Spirit Lives On: Osnabrock, ND 1887-1897, p. 214)
