Grotelueschen and his wife Minna, and then by Arthur Grotelueschen, Minna Grote-
lueschen Kant, her husband Fred Kant, and their five children.
Fears and heartbreak were constant companions of the pioneer. Few other
white people lived nearby, but Indians came around to look for food. One day a
cow died, so A. Johann took part of the beef and hung it in a tree thinking that the
Indians would want it. He put the rest, entrails, etc., on the fire to burn. The Indi-
ans came to get the beef, but also scratched around in the pile on the ground and
took all they wanted.
