JOHN G. FEIOCK John G. Feiock was born in Rohrbach, South Russia, March 1, 1863. He grew to manhood in that territory, and, when of age was married to Margaret Fuhrman. The young couple heard of the fine possibilities in America, through friends who were already located in Dakota, so they decided to come here, also. Mr. and Mrs. John G. Feiock Mr. Feiock came to McPherson County alone, leaving his wife with friends at Scotland. This was in the winter of 1885. He looked the territory over and decided to take up land. On this trip we was accompanied by Michael Klundt, John Zumbaum, Christian Blumhardt and Philip Grosz. This party, including Mr. Feiock, had first looked over the country near Kimball, South Dakota, but finding nothing to their liking, ventured farther north. The group returned to Scotland, and the following spring Feiock came back accompanied by his family and his worldly possessions. They came as far as Roscoe, by train, as the railroad had not been extended as far north as Eureka at that time. At Roscoe they unloaded their precious cargo, which consisted of a pair of oxen, a cow, and a goodly number of chickens, and started for their final destination. All the cash possessed by the man and wife was ten cents; but they had something finer than a desire for wealth, they were eagerly looking forward to the time when they could set to work tilling the soil and reaping a harvest. Such were the qualities possessed by the pioneers of Eureka and surrounding territory. By the time they reached their destination the chickens had produced enough eggs to enable them to purchase a milk pail and a quart of oil. They slept under the wagon until a sod house could be built. Mr. and Mrs. Feiock have resided in the city of Eureka for a number of years and are in good health. They have eight children, namely: Katharine Trautman, Eureka, Emma Hoffman, Eureka; Fred Feiock, Leola, S. Dak.; Johanna Nies, Ashley, N. Dak.; Emilia Bertsch, Ashley, N. Dak.; Sophia Bertsch, Ashley, N. Dak.; Edward Feiock, Ipswich, So. Dak.; and Johnny Feiock, Eureka.
