As a child of six, Otto Barfuss came from Berlin, Germany with his parents. They settled in Casselton and came to Griggs County in 1902.
In 1903, he was married to Helen Trost - they are pictured here as they look on their wedding day.
They had four children, Mrs. M. C. (Silvia) Momont, Mrs. Andre DeSmet, Mrs. Joseph Matz, and Maynard. Maynard farmed the home place until the 50's when Bernard and Gen Zimprich moved there.
