Generation: 4

  1. 12.  Michael WURZER was born on 6 Aug 1851 in Geresdorf, Austria (son of Melchior WURZER and Rosalie SCHERMANN); died on 14 May 1922 in Fingal, Barnes, North Dakota, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Name: Mike

    Notes:

    The following notes were written by Patricia Lynn Johnson and passed on to Elizabeth Eileen Morison McMahon in the 1960s: Living conditions in Gerresdorf were extremely limited. Rural areas were becoming overcrowded. Most people had small acreages of land and very few personal possessions. When word came of opportunities to acquire homesteads in the United States, the Wurzer family decided to pack their belongs and leave Austria-Hungary for a new home in a new country. Michael, his wife, their 2 sons, his parents, his 3 brothers (John, Joseph, Frank) and his 3 sisters (Maria, Elizabeth, Rosalie) left Vienna by boat for New York City.

    From there they travelled by train to North Dakota.

    About 1880 they all homesteaded north and east of Fingal in Binghampton Township, except Joseph who remained single and served in the Spanish-American war.

    Michael and his wife Maria experienced many hardships, like all the pioneers at that time. Maria plowed with one ox while Michael worked for area farmers to earn money to buy a second ox to complete the team. In order to obtain flour, Michael took wheat to Marsh's mill, south of Valley City, because the town of Fingal did not exist at that time. Groceries and supplies had to be purchased at Tower City. Most of these trips were made by foot since construction work was being done on the Northern Pacific Railroad. There were many jobs available for local people. Maria was employed at a Tower City Hotel in the laundry, which was all hand work. By this time, Michael was building a house for his family. One room was insulated with sod and later a stone addition was constructed. The house still stands 1 mile north and 1 mile east of Fingal. It was inhabited until only a few years ago and is now known as the Martin Boyle farm.

    HISTORY: Michael Wurgel [stat] immigrated through Baltimore, MD on the vessel "America" on June 16, 1882. He claims to be a "tailor" with the nationality of "Austria" and last permanent residence in "hungary". His father "Melchior" is also on this ship.
