When Preston and Ida first came to North Dakota from near Pelican Rapids, Minnesota in 1901, they settled on Mrs. Alfred Nelson's homestead in Isabel township (she was Libb the sister of Ida). They moved to the Will Slater farm for a short time (a brother of Ida's) then moved into Hesper township in about 1905. In 1910 they moved to Consort, Alberta and located in the Willow Brook district south of Consort. Preston and Ida Kelts had pioneered a lot of places and more kindly neighbours one could not wish for. In those days, Castor was the nearest town, sixty-five miles away, and neighbours, though far apart, were neighbours indeed. PRESTON AND IDA They had eight children; William, Homer, Angeline, Harvey, Marion, Minnie, Ethel, and Hazel who was born in November or December 1902 and died Sept 1906 at the age of 3 years. She is buried in the Hesper Cemetary. Preston died on November 29, 1915 and Ida died on July 29, 1926. They were both buried in a cemetery in a corner of their grandson Preston's (Bud) farm.
