This is the family I have talked to that are the present owners of the land that Rodion farmed just West of Fredonia,ND,USA. Dear Otto Abert Palfenier: How are you, we are doing OK, the weather has been good all fall. According to the wifes abstract this bondarenko had this land in 1910, but only 120 acres. That a man by the name of Charles Hillemann homested 40 acres also in 1910, in 1916 Bondarenko bought that 40 acres from this Hillemann, according to the abstract these really had a hard time because again and again they would mortgage the land.in 1917 Bondarenko sold this land to Edward Keonig, but according to the abstract Bondarenko owed $1,110.00 on the land that this Keonig took over when he bought it in Mar 10,1917, then again this Keonig mortgaged to a bank in Fredonia,ND, a town close by in 1927, he paid off the mortgage, wheat had a good price, from about 1921 to about 1925. The Keonigs raised 9 children on that land and farm where the Lloyd Ruffs now live.Things went quite well for the Keonigs, they build a new house and so on in 1986 Mr Koenig become very ill and he deeded his land to all his children, it looks like the land was debt free at the time. In 1948 my wife's first husband, his dad bought it again, the land was in debt until 2000. It is clear now, but these families had a long hard struggle. The winters in the Lehr-Fredonia area are very hard.There is no sign of any building sites, but there is a spat of horse radish growing, so there had to be a house and garden there at one time, horse radish never dies. Also a rock pile that looks like rocks were piled on a mount of dirt, there could have been a sod house at one time. Hi from Lorraine: My husband wrote this information for you. We are sorry that it took so long to get this to you, being my abstracts are not here in the bank at Eureka. Its been a while since I got them, but then Albert has been so busy helping his son and also his son is law. So yesterday he seen, after he had time to do it. Thank You again for all the work, you did and for sending us that big package of information . We sure hope that this will be some help to you. I ask the Ruffs about the two tombstones that are in there pasture & he said its his Great Grandfather & small children. 1. From information in the Lloyd Ririe files. 2. From a group sheet furnished by Juliadean Bondy in 1989 with Leonard Bondy as the husband , the father of Leonard Bondy is shown as Rodion Bondarenko, not Rodney Bondy. It is possibl e he changed his name to the simpler Rodney Bondy. The Rin # for R. Bondarenko is 2018.

Written by Lydia Bondarenko 14 Jan 1929 High Lights of my life 1929 1906,Feb 9 Born in Fredonia,No.Dak.Logan County My first memory is sitting in the window seat that was facing East,build of sod house. It was warmest place in the house. It was winter. In late years,I got sick with Scarlet Fever. Was tucked in bed with feather tick. How sick I was I don't remember. When I did get well, I remember that my hair was coming out. And I did have nice long hair, I could sit on it, my mother cut if off as it was hopeless to save. Started school but how old I was I can not recall,all I can remember my father taking us in a big bob sled on cold days, on the way he would pick other kids. When we did walk on nice days,we would stop on the way at neighbor,we were not supposed to but we did. They had a smoke house,full of smoked meat,hams,even rabbits. Was that good tasting meat. We come there when they were still at the breakfast table. When they got thru eating,nobody could leave the table untilthe father, head of the family read the Bible and prayer. He had a beard. That memory was strong in my mind. Last I remember of him,he was sick,pneumonia. He died that winter. Their name was Presslor. At the school one Christmas weekwe had a Christmas program. How those candles shown,was beautiful sight. My best friend,who was supposed to perform at that program in one of the acts, took sick. She also passed away,but rememory of her is still bright in my mind *as she was my best friend,never got to act her part. (*phrase crossed out) As I am writing this onJan14,1929 and the cold weather we are having now 34 below during the night. It takes me back to April 1917. We had a snow storm. People lost lot of cattle. When storm was over, my sister and I went to the back of the of our place,beyond the hill,all we could see in moulds of snow, but reality it was frozen cattle. When it warm up pretty fast being that late in the spring,there lot of carcass laying around. My dad could not get any well around that farm,all I could remember is a pit dug in slough,to have water for his stock. It was rough for him. Lot of rocks onthat farm from hazel nut size to boulder. One summer he was working the field,by keeping it black,summer fallow they call it then. There was a duck that had a nest and it was destroyed at the time,but she rebuild and gather or rolled in egg size stones and sat on them. I at the time try to catch her,what for I don't remember. I did catcher her,what happen to the duck,I cannnot recall. My mother used to go out and help in the field,I think I was about 4 years old. My folks instructed us not to touch the stove. But we did,smoke would come out the chimney folks came home on the run,here I was with a hatchet chasing my sister,playing Indians. Evidently we must have heard stories of the Indians & how bad they were at that time. Anyway we really got wolping. The year of 1917 spring,my dad decided to move out,could not get water and most of the people migrating to Canada,as wheat crops were good them years and he said, he will get place where he could get a well with water in it. So he had an Auction Sale on certain day but weather was bad,what people came,had lunch,which consist of cut up ring bolony,boiled in big boilers and bread,anyway sale was postponed to later date. That I don't remember so well. Anyway,dad saved,couple of cows,4 horses, machinery & some household furniture,etc. Loaded in freight car and he went with it to Canada. Mother and 5 of us children,(No remember of my 2brs & Sister born at that time). We staid behind few days,in the house,nothing in it but plenty to eat. Then we left and onthe train to Canada. Don't remember much of the trip. But do remember I lost sense of direction in that country and it still stays with me. We landed in Maple Creek,Sask. Staid in some rented place,not much to remember but I did remember soldiers going to war at the time. They seemedso friendly to us little kids. Dad then rented some land that summer of 1917. Had good crop. While we were on this place,one young horse was killed on the tracks. That was tragic at the time. (Copied from Lydia's hand-written rememories) Lydia Bondarenko Field was born in Fredonia,ND and moved to Maple Creek,Sask,Canada as a young girl. After she married Melvin Field and moved back to Mayvill,ND,her Mother and Father moved to Medicine Hat,Alberta. Lydia and Melvin andtheirchildren finally settled in rural Detroit Lakes,MN Footnote by Otto Palfenier: her parents moved from the farm in the 1950's when they retired.
When she left the homestead worked in Maplecreek,Saskatchewan for the Dixon's (at the house) before she went to work at the Maple creek Hospital.
