My grandfather Mathias lived in Chicago, St. Paul, Mn., and became a farmer at Hartly, Io. in the late 1800's. From there he moved to a farm near St. Killian, Minn. where he farmed until about 1917. He than moved to a farm in the Red River Valley of N.D. near Hillsbourgh. His brother John moved to Viking, Alberta, Canada, probably about the time he moved to N.D. John had several sons and one daugher Mary. Some of his sons moved to the Everett, Washington area as did Mary. There are many decendents.
