They lived in Mandan over the winter and the following summer they and five of the children moved in with the John Friesz family in the Oak Coulee area until a two room stone house could be built on their own homestead. That fall he and some of the boys cut trees near the Heart River to be used as rafters for a lean-to with a grass roof onto the side of the house. They had three horses and one cow. The following year they started to break land; they brought the stones they found in the fields home to be used for building. Magdalena wanted a summer kitchen built but they didn't have the time so she started to build it by herself. She completed one side of the building herself. Their children were: Phillip, born 1880, married Barbara Winchell(Phillip was 23 years old when they came to America, he was sent back to Russia, because he had trachoma.
