I'll keep my eyes open Patricia. ----- Original Message ----- From: Trish <shadowalker33@uswest.net> To: <DICK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2000 10:35 AM Subject: Dick-Scherer I have a Scherer-Dick marriage, my great grandparents. I have a Sebastian Dick who came to North Dakota in 1903 and died in 1906. His mother was Agatha. My great grandmother was Anna Scherer, born in 1877, died 1971 in North Dakota. Children were/are Elizabeth, Joseph (born 1901, died 1978), and Marie (born 1904, my granmother, still alive at age 96). My grandmother didn't know much and says even less. When you are searching the Dick-Scherer names, would you keep these in mind? I would appreciate it. Anna, Sebastian and Agatha came over in 1903. When Anna and Agatha applied for naturalization they both listed Hungary on their applications but the family has been told they were from Germany and spoke German. I have no idea where they are from, town-wise. They started out back east but moved west rather soon. Anna never remarried and homesteaded with three small children, never spoke English, built her home (which still stands, I believe), and lived healthily to a ripe old age. Must be that wonderful pioneer spirit.
