Read More	Willuweit Story by Marjorie and Nell Willuweit The Willuweits came from Nebraska because the climate had not agreed with Mrs. Willuweit or Rosina. They had lived near Butte where their three oldest boys were born. Gustav and Rosina Willuweit arrived in Quinn on December 11, 1907. Although it was December the weather was so warm that the boys wore sweaters. Mr. Willuweit had their house on the homestead north of Quinn, built the summer before. The following June Delila M. was born at home without the aid of doctor or midwife. She weighed 3 1/2 pounds and was placed in a cigar box. Mrs. Willuweit had the only sewing machine in the neighborhood for quite awhile so many neighbors borrowed it. The Willuweits farmed and ranched this place until their retirement in the early forties. They had their good years and bad. The boys were very fond of horses and always had a herd. They raised cattle, some sheep, pigs, and poultry. Mr. Willuweit was a blacksmith and did a lot of this work. The Willuweit home was a gathering place for all the young people of the neighborhood and every Sunday the house would be full. They were helpers in building the St. Paul's Lutheran Church near their home and were supporters all their lives to this church. All their children were confirmed there. In the winter of 1919 Mr. Willuweit was coming home from Quinn and was caught in a blizzard. He kept going long after dark and finally came to a building. He found the door and went in. He walked around all night to keep from freezing. The next morning he found out that he was at Douds. He was gone three days. Rosina started a prairie fire that went to the Cheyenne River. Sparks from the stovepipe started the grass on fire, and a brisk southwest wind sent it over hill and dell. She was always afraid of fire after this and was teased so much about an incident when she climbed on top of the house when she thought there was a fire in the chimney. But in 1935 the house burned when the parents were in Rapid City. Nothing was saved. The children all attended grade school in schools near the home. The distance was so great that they rode in a buggy. Many mornings one of the boys would have to shovel out the pass so they could get through. Alvin attended high school in Quinn and Rapid City. Four sons Alvin, Ferdinand, Chris, and William served in World War II. Ferdinand gave his life at Metz, France where years before in the Franco- Prussian War a great uncle Ferdinand also lost his life. Grandpa Willuweit liked to walk, and even in his last year would go 1 1/2 miles to the mailbox to get the mail and talk to the mailman. Grandma Willuweit as she was affectionately called for miles around always managed to have a hot cup of coffee and a piece of pie for any chance visitor. The family is scattered. Harold lives in Yelm, Washington, where he works in the lumber business. Art lives in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and is employed at Lowery Field as a chief engineer. Alvin is a carpenter in Golden, Colorado. Bert and Gerhart live near the old place and are farmers and ranchers. William or Bill lives in Central City and works for the Homestake Mine. Delila married Leo Staben and lives at Milesville, South Dakota. Chris passed away, but his family lives in Wall.
