Glimpse into Murdock History

Continuing with our new series to the weekly news.

During the 1950s Pastor Heim would document his home visits with parishioners by taking a photo. These are no ordinary photos, but COLOR photographs. In the 1950s this was almost unheard of then. It was cutting edge "technology". Thank you to Ramona Oehlerking for the video/images.

Thank you for the emails identifying Otto below. I found out he lived on the corner where Jerry Smith lived later. He was married to Anna Rieke, my mom's aunt on the Rueter side. They always had a huge garden and a well-kept yard. We're generous with their produce. I remember them always having a smile on their faces.. good memories.

Otto and his wife lived in the town of Murdock in the 1950s. Two of Otto's sons from an earlier marriage were Don Rieckman and Merle Rieckman, both of whom farmed and lived in the Alvo area.

Now to this lovely couple. Based on his dress clothes it looks like they might have come from church.
