PHILIP KARY
Philip and wife Anna La Frank, came from Speier, Russia in 1901. Arriving in Glen Ullin they stayed with the Stanley Wetzstein family for two weeks before moving to Bismarck, where Philip worked at various jobs including work with the Northern Pacific Railroad. They moved to Old Leipzig in 1907 where they operated the Blind Pig Saloon and small boarding house.
While living here, many rowdy cowboys passed through the town. One election year the Bicicle Ranch came through with a cattle drive and the settlers had come in to vote, the Cowboys were drinking and harassing the settlers. A man was roped and dragged behind a horse by one of the Cowboys. The poor fellow finally got away and the settlers took after the cowboy who had run into the boarding house through the back door and started shooting out through the front window. Mrs. Kary was able to talk him into putting his gun and knife on the table and leaving. As he entered into the street the settlers grabbed him and almost killed him before his friends came to the rescue. Before the brawl was over the saloon had been all shot up and ruined. Luckily the Bicicle Ranch paid for all the damage done by the Cowboys.
1910 brought about another move to a new town of New Leipzig. Here Mr. Kary and a lady by the name of Dubbs operated a meat market. They bought land South of Leith and built a home on the Cannonball River. Together they broke 320 acres of land and planted it all into flax, the season was so dry that there could be no harvest. The following year they planted wheat, but again were unable to harvest the crop because of the drought.
In 1912, they sold that farm and moved to Kiser (name later changed to Kary). They operated the grain elevator for two years. When the elevator closed they bought the townsite and broke the land for farming. The couple lived there until 1918. After selling this land they bought land near Saint Joe in 1923. Philip had an appendectomy and he also developed ether pneumonia, which caused his death at the age of 44.
10 children were born to this union, two dying during infancy. The children are as follows: Angelina, Val, Eva, Barbra, Ted, Ethel, Philip and Nick.
Anna later went on to marry John Barth of Mandan where she lived until her death in 1933. (James) Kary, Beach, and Annette (Mark) Rauhauser, Turtle Lake; seven nephews; and seven nieces.
