Hattie Melland

Hattie Neer Melland, 104, of Alexander, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at Mercy Hospital, Williston, on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2002.

Funeral services were Monday, Nov. 18, 2002, at the Trinity Lutheran Church of Alexander at 11 a.m.. Rev. Alton V. Hillesland officiated, and interment was at the Hillside Memory Gardens, Williston.

Hattie Elizabeth Neer was born June 27, 1898, at Westport, S.D., to Arthur and Cora (Evans) Neer of Scotch and Irish descent. The family moved to a farm at Thompson, near Grand Forks, N.D. When Hattie was 7, her father decided to file on land to homestead in McKenzie County, western North Dakota. He came west in a covered wagon and then established a home south of Alexander. She was the youngest of five children with three brothers and one sister.

She well remembered the 1905 train ride when she, her sister, Dora, and their mother arrived at Buford to join her brothers and father at the farm. Her mother firmly held the hands of her two daughters as they carefully walked around the men who were sleeping off the night before on the train station floor. Her mother, a tiny trim lady, was shocked and quietly said to her daughters, "What sort of country has your Pa brought us to?" They crossed the river by ferry and then by horse and buggy made their way to their new prairie home.

Hattie attended country grade school and then went on to the newly organized high school in Alexander, working for her room and board. She enjoyed the country dances, sleigh rides, community home parties (some of them in soddies) and the openness of the prairie. They attended the Methodist Church in Alexander where she loved the gospel hymns. Her older brother Clyde was killed in World War I. She clearly remembered the flu epidemic of 1918-1919. She was the only one who stayed well enough to care for her very ill family. When she was ready to collapse from fatigue, her "intended" Johnny came to help her.

Hattie Elizabeth Neer and John K. Melland were married April 20, 1919, in Arnegard at the pastor's home. Following the wedding ceremony her parents invited the community to their family farm home for a reception and served a complete fried chicken dinner.

They were living on a farm south of Fairview when their son Clarence was born. The summer had been hot and dry, and in the spring when the river flooded their house, they decided to migrate to Canada to live near Johnny's brother, Chris, and sister, Julia. They settled near Kyle, Sask., northwest of Regina. It was good land, and they farmed with six and eight horse teams. A son, Alvin, was born and died at the age of 11 months. Later Katherine Elizabeth was born. The depression had begun in Canada as well as in the United States. It seemed to never quit blowing and entire fence lines were covered with the soil. They still had their American citizenship and decided to go home to the States. After 10 years of living in Canada, in November of 1933 they left all they had accumulated: livestock, machinery, farm and friends, to move back to Alexander.

Johnny worked for a time with Hattie's father at the Alexander Mill where they made flour and ground grain. He then worked for local farmers and hauled coal. They stayed in Alexander until 1946 when they bought a farm on the newly organized Buford-Trenton Irrigation Project. They worked hard to develop this land to farm.

Because John had hurt his back as a young man breaking horses, he now began to have problems with his health. Hattie worked hard with a large garden, feeding livestock and irrigating in the fields. Despite all the hard work, she stayed up late in the night to knit and crochet the beautiful things she shared with her family and friends. She loved flowers and always had a house full of them. Hattie was a great cook and no one ever left their home hungry. She enjoyed baseball and was a Minnesota Twins fan right up to the end.

John and Hattie had been married 64 years when he died in January 1983, just five days after moving from their home in Buford to Alexander. Their's was a home where each respected the other and taught by example the virtues of honesty, truth, hard work, love for God and prudence in the way they lived and used what they had been given by the Lord.

Hattie continued to live at her home in Alexander and in 1998 the family celebrated her 100th birthday with nearby family and friends, as well as those from the east and west coasts and South America.

She is survived by her son, Clarence (Alma) Melland, Alexander, and daughter, Katherine Paschke, Fairview; eight grandchildren, Curtis (Sandra) Melland and Dennis (Charlotte) Melland, both of Hazen, N.D., Georgia (Ron) Fargerland, Pinckneyville, Ill., John (Janice) Melland, Minot, N.D., Gary (Linda) Melland, Watford City, N.D., Tim Melland, Alexander, Deberah Paschke, Chicago, Ill., and Ted (Cecilia) Paschke, South America; fourteen great-grandchildren; and six great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, John Melland; son, Alvin; parents, Art and Cora Neer; brothers, Clyde, Jim and Clarence Neer; sister, Dora Lindsley; and two sons-in law, David Paschke and Henry Paschke.
