One of the oldest, if not the oldest, living pioneer of those who came to McIntosh County in the early eighties is Mr. Frederick Strobel. He was born in Gluckstal, South Russia, on October 3, 1850. He was married to Caroline Rempfer before leaving Russia.

Mr. and Mrs. Strobel, with three children, Katherina, Friedrick, Jr., and Carolina, with John George Rempfer, Mrs. Strobel’s father; a brother, George Rempfer and family and a sister Katherina Rempfer, left their native land in 1884, stopping first at Scotland, S. D., for the winter. The next spring he and others started looking for a location and went by rail to Ipswich, from there they started overland northwest. After finding what suited him he returned to Scotland for his family. Household goods and other belongings were loaded in box cars and transported as far as Ipswich, here Mr. Strobel purchased an ox team costing $120.00, a wagon for $70.00, a breaking plow for $18.00, and a cow far $37.00, some seed, a stove and other things for the house and finding that he had only $17.00 left of the $600.00 he started with. He bought food stuff with the balance. Starting out from Ipswich he landed in McIntosh County and settled on the North Half of Section 10, Township 129, Range 72.

The usual sod buildings were erected, a small tract of land was broken and seeded to flax which produced 20 bushels which Mr. Strobel sold for $ 1.00 a bushel.

The Strobel family had their share of early day hardships, among them being the terrible blizzards in winter and the terrifying and destructive prairie fires in the summer.

Mr. and Mrs. Strobel were the parents of nine children, namely: Mrs. Henry Bieber, who passed away about 3 years ago; Frederick Strobel Jr., row living in Venturia, N. D.; Mrs. William Dohn, now living at Fort Peck, Montana; Mrs. Henry Hagel, living at Venturia, N. D.; Mrs. Emanuel Vossler, Wishek, N. D.; Mrs. William Roemmich, Vido, Montana; Gustave G. Strobel, Venturia, N. D.; Mrs. Adam Roemmich, Vido, Montana, and Arthur G. Strobel, Venturia, N. D.
