On this date in 1910, Ferdinand Stamm was settling back into his home in Langdon. He had spent three months visiting family and friends in Germany – his first trip back to his childhood home since moving to North Dakota in 1905. He renewed his acquaintance with his mother and several brothers and sisters. He said it was a pleasure to “view the scenes of his childhood.” He had arrived on Christmas Eve, and delighted in spending the holiday with family.
