"In 1880, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Schnieder, friends of the Foersters came to Dakota Territory and settled in Walsh County. They wrote the Foersters about the free land.

In 1881, the Foersters sold their property in Demerton, Ont. Leaving Mary with Grandma Huebschwerlen, they and Stephen left for Dakota Territory.

They arrived by train in Grand Forks, April 3, 1881. From here they came by oxen to the Schnieder home at Minto. On month later, their third child, John, Jr., was born, while they were at the Schnieder home.

Mr. Foerster selected the land he later filed on, five miles northeast of Conway.. Since he was otherwise employed, he hired John Kaster to build a 14x16 foot shack for him. The lumber was hauled from Grand Forks by oxen.

They moved into their new home in June, 1881..."
