Mr. and Mrs. Neil Schmidt and our children, Dallas and Holly, moved to this area in 1975. We came here from Valley City. Neil was born in Jamestown in 1945, and Ruth, his wife, was born in Fargo in 1945. Neil and Ruth Heiser were married at St. Catherines in Valley City in 1967. Both our children were born in Valley City. Dallas was born in 1969, and Holly was born in 1975.
The Schmidt family lives seven miles east of Hannaford and we are engaged in ranching and the trucking of livestock. Dallas graduated from Hannaford School in 1988, and has since attended trucking school in Dickinson. Dallas is presently attending Staples Technical School in Minnesota.
Holly is in eighth grade at Hannaford School and she is active in basketball, cheerleading and track. Mrs. Schmidt works part-time in Cooperstown and her hobby is making jelly. The Schmidts are members of St. Mary's Church of Dazey.
