To Whom May Concern: I am writing regarding information left on Wells County board. I was born and raised in Wells County and lived 12 miles from Fessenden. I find the following information in my Wells County Atlas of 1911. "Erfle, Jacob, Farmer, Section 7, Township 146, Range 72. P. O. Box Hurdsfield: Mr. Erfle was born in Russia in 1884 and settled in Wells County in 1894." Hurdsfield, ND, is located south and west of Fessenden........ Please be aware as of the 1974 Wells County Atlas there were the following individuals listed: Heaton is located south of Fessenden...... Arnold Erfle, Heaton, ND (Wife, Colleen, children, Tommy, Patty, Diane, Connie, Jerry, Carol, Darla, Dale; Phone number is listed under Fessenden, They are Catholic. Arthur Erfle, Heaton, ND Elmer Erfle, Heaton, ND I would surmise that these are the offspring of Jacob Erfle, a relative (brother) to your George....... That's all the information I currently have.........I am going to ask if my Dad remembers this family......I believe he remembers them as we lived not far from their home. Hope this helps..........Good Luck, Christina (please see below for church information) As far as churches: Baptist FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (701) 547-3384 103 6TH AVE, FESSENDEN ND 58438 Catholic (Roman) SAINT AUGUSTINE CHURCH (701) 547-3430 105 7TH AVE NORTH, FESSENDEN ND 58438 Lutheran CONCORDIA LUTHERAN CHURCH (701) 547-3576 FESSENDEN ND 58438 FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH (701) 547-3208 92 MAIN AVE SOUTH, FESSENDEN ND 58438 Nazarene CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE (701) 547-3550 307 7TH AVE NORTH, FESSENDEN ND 58438
