RUDNIK HISTORY

Albert Rudnik came first to America from West Prussia. He came to Pine Creek, Wis. There were some of his cousins, John Rudnik and his family and the Leon Brunk family. Albert worked around Pine Creek, earned money and sent for his brother, Michael. By the time the fare card arrived, Michael was taken into the army. Then the father sent the youngest son, Louis Rudolph. He was born in 1858 and came to America in 1873 to Pine Creek, Wis. He was fifteen years of age. Two years after Louis came, Albert decided to go and find if North Dakota lands were low in price and good fertile land as was told to him.
