• Notes

  Jakob W. Roemmich was a Quarter Master in the Russian Army in Vladivostok, Siberia during the conflict with Japan in 1905. When he was told he could return home on leave, after seven years in service, he wrote his wife and parents to sell everything and gain papers to migrate to USA. His family sold everything and was ready to leave the moment Jacob arrived in Worms / Odessa. S. Russia. The year was 1907. They left Russia for Germany and they sailed to New York, USA. When they arrived, the ship was sent to Baltimore, Maryland, where it docked on 4 July 1907. In 1908 they took up homesteads about fifteen miles from Streeter, ND. Nearby were the families of Fred Hoffer's, Georg Stadel's, Christian Kemmets and Chris Nuemiller's. Their home like so many others was made of sod squares. On a wintry day, Jakob wrapped the pump in rags and intended to saturate the wrappings with kerosene. In his haste he had grabbed a can of gasoline instead. When he struck a match, the flames spread much farther then he expected and caught his own clothes on fire. He rolled in the snow, but to no avail, his clothes continued to burn, he then, ran to a plowed field where he rolled on the bare ground. All his clothes were burned away, finally, the fire was extinguished. He was treated for burns by Dr. Stokes of Streeter for a long time afterwards. In 1914 Jakob bought a homestead that was three miles north of Streeter. [This land became part of the Henry George farm]. 1916 he bought adjoining farm where they lived until 1952 when they retired and bought a house in Streeter.
