Residences & events: Mercer Co, MO. Pembina, ND. Their move was reported by the newspaper: "Ten families left Mercer County this week to make their homes in the far north. Pembina, the northeast county of North Dakota, bordering on the Canadian line, is their destination, where they expect to find prosperity in the small grain belt. (Following a complete listing of the names of the families, the story continued.) With these men and their families, go fifteen cars of household goods, farm implements and stock. Some ship out of Princeton, others from Mercer and cainsville. They all expect to meet at Des Moines and go on a special train from that point." Mercer Co, MO.
