The following is from: " Ashley ND, Golden Jubilee, 1888-1938 " ANDREAS ROTHFUSZ
Most of the immigrants who came to America from South Russia to seek and establish new homes in this section of the country were young men and their wives, but in 1889 came Andreas Rothfusz, then 59 years old. He was born in Borodino, South Russia on February 7th, 1830. With him were his wife and two sons.
McIntosh County was their destination and the place they planned to make their new home. On June 16th, 1889, the Rothfusz family arrived at Ashley, weary and worn from their long trip. They had come to Eureka by rail and overland from there. Mr. Rothfusz filed on land in Section 21, Township 130, Range 68 and began to make accommodations for his family. Kindly neighbors helped him build their house, which was made of sod. Ellendale and Eureka were the nearest towns and it was from one of these places that lumber was hauled to make window frames and a door for the house. Benches, table and beds were also made as they only brought their clothing and bedding with them from the old country. They invested in a hand plow, four oxen and a wagon and had but $100.00 left which would have to tide them over the winter months. The winters were longer and much more severe than now. Snow fell in October and covered the ground until March. Blizzards were a common occurrence during the winter months, many times the buildings on a farm would be covered after a bad storm. The farmers were fortunate not to be enroute to town for supplies or on their way home when a blizzard was raging.
Crops were not very good the first two years Mr. Rothfusz was in this country but conditions improved and though products were low in price, they managed to save and acquire more land and equipment. Wheat sold from fifty to eighty cents per bushel, flax being about eighty cents. The first year they were here, eggs sold for 3 cents per dozen and butter for five to eight cents per pound.
Mr. Rothfusz was united in marriage to Fredericka Hildenbrand. To them three sons were born. They are: Christian, living at Ashley, N. D.; Jacob, in Russia; and John living on a farm east of Ashley.
The Rothfusz family were members of the Lutheran Church. When they came to America and this locality, churches were not established but these people would gather at the home of a neighbor on Sunday and hold their worship. Family worship was held in their homes every day.
Mr. and Mrs. Rothfusz have passed to the Great Beyond.

Rothfusz, Christina (nee Hager) 1/31/1858 h. Christian
From: " Ashley ND, Golden Jubilee, 1888-1938 " CHRISTIAN ROTHFUSZ
Christian Rothfusz come to America in 1889 from Borodena, South Russia, where he was born on January 3rd, 1860. Accompanying him, were his wife, Christina, born Hager, and their small daughter and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andreas Rothfusz.
Coming directly to Eureka by rail and from there overland to Ashley, McIntosh County, Christian and his father filed on land in the same section and township. They helped each other build their sod houses and barns and get established in this new land. Neighbors and friends lent a helping hand in assisting these newcomers in every possible way.
Christian and his father bought four oxen and a hand plow and two cows and with these, they began their farming. The winter of 1889 was severe and long with heavy snowfall. Many times their houses and buildings were completely covered with snow and obscure from vision but for the chimney. The abundance of snow made planting conditions in the spring ideal. However, the crop yield was very poor, none of it was taken to market, but kept for seed the next year.
Ellendale, a distance of forty-five miles, was their nearest town and where their farm produce was sold and their supplies purchased. Many times, a load of buffalo bones were exchanged for groceries and flour. It would take three or four days to make these trips but usually a couple of neighbors would go at the same time, making it a little easier.
Wheat sold for seventy-five and eighty cents per bushel in those days. Milk products were not salable, often times the farmers would have to take them back home with them. If they were sold, they only got three cents a dozen for eggs and about five cents a pound for butter.
Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Rothfusz, they are: Emilia, now Mrs. John Wahl, living east of Ashley, N. D.; Pauline, now Mrs. Fred Iszler, living north of Ashley, N. D.; Lydia, now Mrs. Gottlieb Kempf, living southeast of Ashley, N. D.; Emma, now Mrs. Ludwig Thurn, living southeast of Ashley, N. D.; Anneta, now Mrs. Schubert, living at Plaza, N. D.; and Otto at home.
Twenty some years ago, Mr. Rothfusz retired from actual farming and moved to Ashley. He purchased a home in the northeast part of town where they and their son Otto have since resided.
Mr. and Mrs. Rothfusz are of the Lutheran faith and are members of the Zion Lutheran Church at Ashley, N. D.
