"Gottlieb Gress.
In 1893 the following families migrated to the Mandan area from Felzenburg, Russia:Gottlieb Gress, Dominic Zander, Anton Gress, Peter Gress, August Ereth and Matt Moser.

About 1870 Gottlieb Gress married Madgalena Zander. When they came to the United States they had five childre: Casper, Joseph, Michael, Rosila and Mattilda. Kathryn was born in Mandan in 1894.

Mr. Gress took a homestead seven miles north of Mandan in 1895 after living two years in the Girard addition. The family was very poor and had to be content with boxes of various sizes for furniture. For the small four-room house in the Girard addition they paied one dollar a month rent.

The church at that time was the white frame church which later became the school and Sisters' Home. Father Collins was Pastor."
