Hi from Texas, According to the book, A History of St Brendan's Parish, the Village of Green Isle, and Minnesota's First Irish Settlement by Father John Gerald Berger, the following Bertrang info is given on page 129. No settlement (i.e. in Green Isle) occurred until 1857. Among the earlier ones of that year we mention John McGrann, Patrick O'Mara, Patrick Dwyer, Bernard Gray, Patrick Carroll, Thomas Shoertell, and Mathias Bertrang, who began the German settlement in the southwest. He came in May, and located partly in each of sections 28 and 29; he put up a blacksmith shop soon after and had one also in Arlington. He moved to Henderson in 1866, where he now lives (i.e. as of 1883). Hope this is of some use to you.

Dear Listmembers, The old German newspaper "Ostfriesische Nachrichten" was published by Pastor L. Hündling [Huendling} in 1882 in Iowa as a connecting paper between the people in the new American settlements and the old homeland with news and events in Ostfriesland and the "New World". Later you could find this newspaper all over the U.S. and Ostfriesland. For the period between 1882 and 1915 the issues were microfilmed around 20 - 30 years ago. According to a descendant of Pastor Huendling about 10 years ago, most of the issues between 1916 and 1971 got lost on the way to a processing center to be microfilmed. Besides Rev. Kenneth DeWall and others, who published in the past some indexes of (only) obituaries, we started in 1997 reading each newspaper for 1882 - 1915 and 1916 - 1971 (single issues) from the front to the back and taking all of the personal data in obituaries and local news into computer files. We added also interesting stories about the events in the New World - especially for the German readers -. So far we have listed 10,300 names of deceased between 1882 and 1915 plus 12,300 names of relatives, and until 1971 only 2,000 deceased / 5,000 relatives. Now we are looking for issues of this newspaper between 1916 and 1971. The undersigned would appreciate your answer if you have access to those issues. We have the microfilms from Crest Information Technologies and Heritage Crest, both in Cedar Rapids, IA. Most of the single issues after 1916 are scattered all over the U.S. and Germany. We guess, maybe finding them in the attics, etc. of old East Frisian settlements in the States. Thank you very much in advance for your help in preserving the data. Sincerely, Hans-Georg Boyken Ostfriesland-Society of Iowa, Inc. [email protected]

Hi Sue, Here are the tidbits from the Green Isle book text: Pg. 18 "In that same year, 1866 a wiry little Scotchman named William Cairncross erected a sawmill ....south of town. One old account says " he erected his mill on the western shore of beautiful Lake Erin". As one might guess Mud Lake was once Lake Erin. .........William bought a piece of land from Phillp McGrann on its western shore.... In the early 1870s Cairncross erected a grist mill and operated both for many years." Pg. 24 The contract for the addition to the Green Isle Church (i.e. St Brendan's) has been let to William Cairncross of that place." Pg 41-44 The 1882-83 issue of the Minnesota State Gazetter listed Green Isle as a village of 125 souls ...... The Gazetter also listed nine business men in the town: Owen McGrann, postmaster, William Cairncross, sawmill, ....... The 1884 issue of the Gazetter still had William listed as the sawmill owner. The first public school in Green Isle was built in 1885. James Kane was the first clerk of the district, and William Cairncross was the first Chairman of the Board. Pg 123 "About 1866 a steam saw-mill was built by William Cairncross in the northwest corner of section 19; a grist mill and feed attachment were afterward added. A few years ago (i.e. about 1880) the whole property was destroyed by fire. The saw-mill has been rebuilt and the feed mill is in process of building." That is all of the references to William Cairncross. No names of his children were mentioned. I don't know if William was Catholic or not but just about all of his neighbors were, whether Irish, German, or French Canadian. About the two books..... The History of the Minnesota Valley was published in 1883, the author was Father Edward Neal(e). It has long been out of print. The Green Isle book was published in 1966, the author was my cousin, Father John Gerald Berger. Father Jerry is now the pastor at the Catholic parish in Arlington, Sibley, MN. The book has been reprinted due to the demand. The Sibley County Historical Society has copies. Cost a year ago was $10.00.
