NOTE:
Twelve days of Friedrich SAYLER's birth date discrepancy can be attributed to the fact that the Russian Empire did NOT adopt the "Gregorian Calendar" until February 1918. Therefore, prior to this date by utilizing the "Julian Calendar" their entire populace was recording birth, death and marriage dates that were 10 to 13 calendar days behind the dates of what the majority of the world was recording.

SPIRIT of WISHECK, 1948, Pg# 87 –

Frederick SAYLER, in the year 1883, married Barbara GAENZLE, born in the year 1862. They had six children prior to coming to America, Peter died in infancy and was buried in South Russia.

Barbara, Katharina, Jacob, Friedrich and Karolina immigrated to America with their parents in 1889. The Frederick SAYLER family left their parents, brothers, sisters, and friends in search of a land that offered freedom of religion. Therefore they left Neusatz, Beresan, Odessa, South Russia and journeyed to Menno, Hutchinson County, South Dakota where they remained eight days. While there they purchased two horses, two oxen, two cows, a wagon and a plow, which were shipped to Eureka, South Dakota by train.

The remainder of their trip was made by wagon to Eureka to pick up their belongings. They proceeded to the land they homesteaded, which was located six miles northwest of Wishek in Logan County, Township 133, Range 71, ¼ of Section 32, school district Johannesdale. They also brought some kitchen equipment and lumber at Menno for the roof of their sod house.

The children born in North Dakota were William and Margret. Barbara (Gaenzle) SAYLER died due to childbirth complications at 31 years of age on December 7, 1893. They were only in America four years when she died, leaving Friedrich with five small children, the oldest being nine and the youngest less than a day old. The death certificate at the state capital recorded her burial place as Johannesdale Township, Section 28, NE ¼.

To combat very long and cold winters they used dried manure for fuel for their stove. The stove itself was built of stone and mud. The crops were poor and all the planting was done by hand. Plowing was done with a hand plow pulled by a pair of oxen. Prairie fires were not unusual and often destroyed the fodder for the cattle.

Frederick SAYLER remarried on January 12, 1894 to Christina WERNER, daughter of David WERNER and Philippina (Nagel) WERNER, who was born January 21, 1874. To this union 11 children were born; Henry, Edward, Fred, Emma, Lydia, Martha, Bertha, Christ, Albert, Ida, and Christina.

One of Mr. SAYLER's greatest joys was attending prayer meetings and revivals, which were held in various homes. Frederick SAYLER died January 23, 1930 and is buried in "Wishek City Cemetery". Christina SAYLER lived to be over 107 years old and died August 4, 1982.
